Another very good deal by Top Rated Plus eBay seller getitdigital (99.6% positive ratings): Canon EF-S 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6 IS for , that’s at least $130 less than usual.
The Canon 18-200mm IS Lens is a compact, lightweight and wide magnification range lens. This zoom lens features a wide focal length range from normal to telephoto (equivalent to 29-320mm in the 35mm format) making it an ideal choice as a general-purpose zoom lens. It features an Optical Image Stabilizer for up to 4-stops of effective correction even at full zoom. And the circular aperture can give beautiful background blur effects.
Key Features
Image Stabilizer – 4 stop Image Stabilizer (IS) extends low light options to previously unavailable levels. Photographers normally shooting handheld at 1/250 sec can switch on IS to obtain a similarly steady and blur-free result with a shutter speed of just 1/15 second.
Superior Image Quality – Two UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) elements and several aspherical elements are used to suppress the effects of secondary chromatic aberrations, to obtain crisp, sharp, high-contrast images without fringing throughout the zoom range.
Super Spectra Coatings – Optimized Super Spectra lens coatings and lens element shaping, suppress flare and ghosting – more prone to occur with digital cameras due to reflection of the image sensor. Coatings also help achieve true color balance and increase contrast for vivid hi-fidelity images.

Let's go for a Canon EOS-1D C reviews round-up. Foremost, the EOS-1D C will soon get a firmware update that will enable 25p at 4k video recording. The firmware update is expected for April 2013. The EOS-1D C is an amazing yet pricey photographic tool. One of the features that are thrilling photographers is the possibility to get stills from video footage. A possible game changer in the industry. Still, the price is high ($11,999, check it out at the following shops: B&H and Adorama)
The video above is a 35min video review by Philip Bloom, the video below a mini documentary he shot to get accustomed with the EOS-1D C.
Shooting was a breeze. It’s a DSLR, it may have been shot in 4k but it operates the same way! Miller DS20 tripod. Lenses were Canon 16-35. 24-105, 70-20 F4, 100mm Macro (used for the interview for some utterly bizarre reason!) Audio was a Rode NTG2 into a Roland R26 and B-roll audio was the Rode Video Mic Pro.
I had a lot of issues in post though. This was shot in 4K, downscaled in to full HD for editing (I do plan to remaster as a 4k version soon.) In the edit I noticed a lot of problems, banding, magenta tinges on parts of the frame. Basically we worked it out and it was down to a number of things. The compression of the 4K, combined with the Canon log mode shooting below the native ISO of 400 which is a bad combination.
More sample works shot with the EOS-1D C. The next video (source: planet5d), Killing Me Softly by Andrew Wonder, gives more insights about the EOS-1D C as a doc camera, i.e. it gives a good idea of what image quality the EOS-1D C produces out of the box:
This film captures the life and journey of a lobster. The more time I spent with her the more human she became. I was completely unprepared for what I would see.
The film was shot entirely on the Canon 1DC with a Zeiss ZE 28mm and 100mm Makro. With the 1DC I was able to retain the flexibility of shooting with a DSLR while getting detail and clarity beyond what has been previously possible. In this case I believe 4K was essential for bringing this story to life.
The film is not color corrected to give viewers an idea of how this camera handles doc situations without manipulation. All the sound was recorded with the onboard camera mic. I directed and shot the film without any support rig. Justin Sharp edited it together.
Finally, a video by Austrian filmmaker Nino Leitner. The movie, called hyber nation, can be watched in 4k on YouTube here.you can also download the ungraded 13GB 4K ProRes Master file from Nino's server. There could be problems with the available bandwidth.
