[Video] Canon C300 Overview And Setup (and comparison with Blackmagic Cinema Camera)

10 minutes video from Magnanimous Media on Vimeo about Canon’s C300 (click here for price, specs and description). Jonah Rubash explores and investigates the virtues of the Canon C300 and demonstrates the basic setup. Btw, if you want to play around with the settings (or mess them up) to learn about the EOS C300 before taking the decision to buy or not, there is an app for that! Canon provided a nice menu simulator for the C300 (click here). A pretty useful tools that lets you move through the menu(s) and select the various buttons on the device.

Finally, EOSHD made a chart comparison between the C300 and the Blackmagic Cinema Camera (click here for price, specs and description). The tackled issue is how the Blackmagic’s RAW mode compares to the C300. Test charts are used for the comparison.

[Review] Canon EOS 1D-X Reviewed By Fred Miranda

Eos1dx

Lot’s of EOS 1D-X reviews showing up in the last days. No surprise since the EOS 1D-X is finally in stock at the major shops. The review I am featuring today comes from Fred Miranda. The EOS is reviewed in detail and compared to the [shoplink 2431]EOS 5D Mark III[/shoplink] and the [shoplink 271]EOS-1D Mark IV[/shoplink].

We are all different photographers. We shoot landscape, wildlife, sports, weddings, news, etc… the list goes on. Canon’s answer for all of us is their new, one size fits all, pro-camera, the Canon EOS-1D X. But, trying to satisfy the masses is a daunting task. There is no doubt that this is an amazing piece of equipment. The new focusing system, and the 12 FPS work perfectly for sports and photojournalism. If you’re catching the action this camera is going to shine.

[Review] EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM Lens (in stock at Amazon)

Canon 500mm f/4L EF IS II USM Lens

Photographer Richard Bernabe got an EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM lens and shares his thoughts on his blog. An [shoplink 337]EOS 7D[/shoplink] was used to test the lens (samples provided).

 After comparing the new version to the previous one, I would have to say that it’s noticeably faster to grab focus, especially when working with moving subjects as I was. The IS is much more powerful as well. Before even looking at Canon’s lens specs, I noticed a change to the IS performance. Canon claims there is a 4-stop advantage from IS-ON to IS-OFF, which is double the advantage over the older version. There are three IS modes: 1 is for shooting stationary subjects, 2 is for panning in one direction, and 3 is for tracking moving subjects.

The EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM has a price tag of $10.500. Amazon has one (1) in stock (click here, also for product specifications). You can pre-order the lens at Adorama (click here) and B&H (click here)

    • Magnesium/Titanium for Lighter Weight
    • 3 IS Modes for 4-Stop Advantage
