23Mar Used Gear Watch: Canon LC-E6 Charger for LP-E6 batteries
Canon charges a pretty penny for their battery chargers. A genuine Canon LC-E6 charger will set you back around $53, but sometimes if you keep an eye out you can find them used on Ebay for a lot less. As long as it works does it matter if it’s a used charger? Right now there […]
23Mar Seagate 4TB external Drive Price drop to $149.99
The Seagate 4TB external drive normally hovers around $190, but right now it’s just $149 on amazon. The price of Seagate’s internal 4TB drive is currently at $189. This happens every once in awhile but it never really made any sense to me. How can the external drive with all the extra parts be less expensive then […]
21Mar New Canon 6d for just $1650 on ebay
At the original price tag of $2099, the Canon 6d seems overpriced. However, as I mentioned in my review at $1650 it’s right in the sweet spot, fitting in about halfway between the Canon 7d and 5d mark III. The auto focus system might not be as good as the 5d mark III or 7d […]
21Mar Canon announces the T5i and SL1 more of the same
Many people expected the next crop sensor DSLR from Canon to have a new image sensor as well as a few more advanced features. Instead it appears the new T5i and SL1 will be using the exact same 18 megapixels sensor with the same 4.3 µm photo diode size as the T2i and 7d. Canon hasn’t done […]
18Mar Canon 5d mark III refurbished $2379
Canon’s store has refurbished 5d mark III’s discounted to $2379. Not sure how long the price will last so if you are in the market for a new full frame camera it’s definitely worth checking out. Here’s the link.
17Mar Vanguard CF Memory Card Case
I liked the SD card case so much I decided to hunt down something for my CF cards. The Vanguard CF card case is only $11 and holds up to 6 CF cards in a form factor very similar to the SD card case I posted a few days ago. If you are wondering how this […]
17Mar Used Gear Watch: Tascam DR-40
I’ve had this Tascam DR-40 around for quite awhile. It’s done a great job, but I don’t really need to have 3 hand held field recorders. The Zoom h4n and Zoom h1 are more then enough for most applications and more often then not, the DR-40 doesn’t make it into my bag. You can pick […]
16Mar Used gear watch: Canon 7d
I’ve had my Canon 7d around for a quit awhile, but I think it’s finally about time to let her go. It’s been a great camera for sports and the burst rate has always made the 7d a go to camera for anything action related. However, now with 2 5d mark III’s in my bag I’ve […]
14Mar Wireless boom mic transmitter under $200
This is just a quick test of the Wi Audiolink from Jangus digital. I’ve been using this little stereo transmitter for scratch audio and monitoring for quit sometime, but I never took the time to test it out with a the iRig pre or Rode VideoMic Pro. Turns out it could be perfect for a […]
13Mar Aluminum SD card case
I have a lot of SDXC cards floating around in my camera bag. In the past I’ve made an effort to keep them all together in one pouch and in their own individual cases. This worked for awhile, but as the number of cards increased I started coming up a few cards short. Sometimes I’d […]
