Canon has announced a firmware update for its EOS 5D Mark II digital SLR enabling manual exposure when shooting videos.
The new firmware will be available for download on 2 June 2009 from Canon’s website.
If you are one of the 7 people who own a Sony DSLR, exciting news!
Sony has announced four new lenses to accompany its new Alpha models. Aimed squarely at the first-time DSLR owners it’s done so much to attract, all feature inexpensive construction (including plastic mounts) and a new in-lens autofocus system designated SAM (which stands for Smooth Autofocus Motor). First up is a pair of new kit zooms (standard and telephoto), in the shape of the DT 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 SAM and the DT 55-200mm F4-5.6 SAM. These are accompanied by a pair of primes; the DT 50mm F1.8 SAM and the DT 30mm F2.8 macro SAM. Prototypes of all four lenses were first shown at PMA earlier this year.

I must say, I was under whelmed. I love the horse photo above, but the rest weren’t exactly inspiring. Be interested to hear what other people think.
Now there are two words I didn’t expect to see with out some other words in between. I would love to be able to issue a NSFW (Not Safe for work) viewing warning, but alas.
Maybe architects would get excited. Who knows.
Some amazing videos made with the new Canon EOS 5D MkII. I know when it first came out, it divided people. Some people loved the fact you could use video, others hated it. Really, who cares, it you don’t like it, don’t use it. But when you see the end results of some of the videos below, I for one am glad Canon added it.
