Canon EOS 7D Mark II Video Review

Faymusmedia on Youtube posted a 44 minutes long video review about Canon’s new APS-C flagship, the EOS 7D Mark II.

The review is more of the “real-world” sort and not a laboratory test, with a comprehensive introduction to the highlights and new features of the 7D Mark II. The reviewer walks around the streets of New York and shots what you would shot outside a test lab. The [shoplink 22664]EOS 7D Mark II[/shoplink] was tested with the amazing Sigma [shoplink 14551]18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM[/shoplink]. I think the 7D Mark II and the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 are a fantastic bundle. Given the excellent high ISO performance of the 7D Mark II and the bright aperture of the Sigma, who needs full-frame?

The EOS 7D Mark II is the unbeaten champion in the APS-C world when it comes to stuff like weather sealing, a highly advanced AF, and industry leading high ISO performance.

Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L Set to be Replaced Soon?

[shoplink 184]EF 35mm f/4L[/shoplink]

Edit: corrected typo in post title.

Canon Rumors says:

We’re told that that Canon will replace their 35mm f/1.4L following the announcement and shipping of the upcoming EF 11-24mm f/4L, which has been rumoured since August. We’re told that an announcement date hasn’t been set, however the lens could appear as early as Q1 of 2015, or fall into the second quarter of next year.

According to the given rating, the rumour comes from a source that was reliable in the past.

CW’s take: agree with the rating of the rumour. Alone the number of patents for a 35mm f/4 lens filed by Canon in the last two years make it plausible (patents: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4). It’s also a long time since the [shoplink 184]EF 35mm f/1.4L[/shoplink] was released in 2001.

Lightroom & Photoshop CC Workflow

Canon Professional Network posted part 3 of their ongoing tutorial series about Lightroom & Photoshop CC workflow. The third part is all about RAW filters. Previous episodes: part 1 (smart objects), part 2 (composite images).

Adobe now offers a Creative Cloud Photography bundle that includes Lightroom editing software and Photoshop CC for photographers who want to organise, edit, enhance and share their images via desktop or their mobile devices – this package currently comes bundled with Canon’s EOS [shoplink 2431]5D Mark III[/shoplink] and [shoplink 7139]EOS 6D[/shoplink] DSLRs. In a four-part CPN series of articles and video tutorials Richard Curtis (a Principal Solutions Consultant in Digital Imaging for Adobe UK) will examine the workflow between Lightroom software and Photoshop CC to give you a good understanding of the benefits of working with both in tandem. In Part 2 of this series Richard Curtis focuses on the advanced use of Smart Objects for creating composite images within the Lightroom and Photoshop CC workflow and, in a special video, he explains how to create such composite images. Please click on the play button in the window above to watch the video.

Adobe’s Lightroom and Photoshop CC costs $9.99 per month.
