As well as Canon’s new EOS C300 camera being made available for order today, B&H also have new Cinema EOS lenses that will be a perfect compliment for this camera. Last week at CES I had some hands on time with the new zooms and they are meticulously constructed, a joy to use. Canon CN-E …
We thought they might, we hoped they might…… and they did. Canon have just announced that their new flagship digital cinema camera, the EOS C300, will launch at a price of $15,999.

Whilst uploading a new video to my Vimeo channel last week I noticed that the very first video I ever created has now been viewed more than 285,000 times! I can’t believe it ! The bulk of my creative work continues to be photographic but this video is a good reminder to me that I …
I rarely publish rumors here, but this isn’t really a rumors as invitations are out there. On November 3rd Canon will make ” An Historic Announcement” at a location in Hollywood.

Since that time there have been a number of “announcements” from the company but most of them have said more or less the same thing. “The cameras are delayed , but here is some more computer generated graphics of something that …
When I decided I needed to get this video stuff dialed, I needed something to shoot. There’s no point trying to figure this all out unless you have a purpose and some footage to play with. Leigh Powis, a local skier from Whistler, told about his crazy plan to put a trampoline on top of …
When I first got the 5dMKII last winter, the camera world was buzzing about the incredible HD video that it can shoot as well as the beautiful 21MP images. This will be great I thought, I can shoot some videos in between shooting photos. When it actually came down to it though, nice idea as …
I get asked this question every week so I have finally got round to making a tutorial video about it.
