12Apr Transcend Premium 400x 32GB compact flash cards.
Although I’ve been very happy with the performance of the PRETEC SDXC 64GB cards I’ve been using, the toughness of a CF card still wins compared to the thinner lighter weight SD cards. Plus the combination of a 32GB CF card and a 64GB SDXC card in the camera gives me close to 90GB of footage before […]
30Mar Canon 5d mark III just showed, first test 64gb SDXC ALL-I recording
The UPS guy was kind enough to make me his first stop this morning and dropped off the Canon 5d mark III. I’ve only had about an hour to fiddle around with it, but man does it feel nice. Almost the same ergonomics as my Canon 7d body with only a few buttons moved around. The […]

28Feb PRETEC SDXC 64GB V.S. Sandisk Extreme SDHC 32GB Speed test
The PRETEC SDXC 64GB class 16 card clocks in at $75, while the Sandisk Extreme SDHC 32GB 45MB/s card will set you back about $64. On one hand the Sandisk Extreme SDHC cards are well respected and considered to be well worth the money, while PRETEC made its name as one of the first companies […]

29Dec Canon 80-200mm F2.8 L legacy lens
Canon’s been making EF mount lenses for a long time and there are a lot of discontinued L series lenses that have been retired over the years. The older lenses are sometimes missing some of the new features like Full time manual focus or ultra sonic motors, but the build quality is still solid and the optics […]
27Dec Canon 70-200mm f2.8 L IS was under the tree this year.
I just made it back from the holiday break and under the Christmas tree this year was the Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS in all of its glory. This was actually a gift I bought for myself with the proceeds from a job I just finished up and the price was surprisingly less then I had expected. The Canon 70-200mm f2.8 […]
19Oct Lytro Light Field Camera pricing and specs announced.
A Few months back I posted about the Lytro Light field camera. This interesting little camera has the ability to capture an image, then choose your focus point later. This is the first I’ve seen of the actual camera and it’s a very interesting form factor. The strange little box measures out to about 1.6 […]
18Oct Canon Announces the 1D X
When it comes to camera announcements and camera rumors I default to Canonrumors.com. I only have so many hours in the day and don’t spend much time on Canon’s press release page. I found out about the 1D X release this morning from Canon Rumors, then hit up the Canon’s site to read the full press […]
30Sep Matin Outlast leather DSLR hand strap – Review
