Press release after the break

Don’t miss DigitalRev’s Kai introduce you to the EOS 7D Mark II and its features, Kai’s typical review style included. Once more, the 7D Mark II turns out to be a killer APS-C camera.

I think I am not missing the mark when saying the EOS 7D Mark II is on the way to become the industry leading APS-C DSLR. It’s a game-changer. The AF-system of the (full-frame) [shoplink 4119]EOS-1D X[/shoplink] is the best you can get on an APS-C camera, you get 10fps, and an amazing high ISO performance. Read more about the EOS 7D Mark II’s excellent weather sealing, the highly advanced AF, and the industry leading high ISO performance (have a look here too). All our coverage on the EOS 7D Mark II can be seen here.

The Canon Professional Network posted an interview with photojournalist Amy Lyne.

Photojournalist Amy Lyne recently embarked on a personal project that took her away from the world’s more precarious trouble spots and into the world of the New York City Ballet, where she documented the graceful moves of a ballerina with one lens, one camera and one single-minded vision. CPN Editor David Corfield finds out more about her ‘Butterfly Black’ project.

For her project Amy Lyne used an [shoplink 254]EOS 5D Mark II[/shoplink] with an [shoplink 2160]EF 24-70mm f/2.8L[/shoplink] lens. One lens, one camera. About her work she says:

My main focus is documentary photography and for the past couple of years I have also been working with different dancers on personal projects, most recently with Gina Pazcoguin on a piece called ‘Butterfly Black’. It’s a bit of a departure from the work I normally do. As a documentary photographer, I always try to be as invisible as possible; observing, waiting to capture a moment. I never ask someone to do something again or differently for fear of compromising the integrity of the “scene”, as it is someone’s real life. With a subject like dance, on the other hand, I don’t have to think about the consequences of my actions from a humanitarian or journalistic standpoint. Here the photographs are pure imagery, so I am free to shoot with abandon. It is really exciting to collaborate with dancers and watch things take form as a co-creator
