Philip Bloom Braves the Weather for His In-Depth Canon 1D C Review, Plus More Sample Footage

Joe Marine — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 22:53:15 +0000

The first DSLR that can shoot 4K internally should be cause for celebration, as it’s the first time a camera of this size has been able to reach that standard. The 1D C has received a mixed reaction, however, mostly because of its price, which is quite a bit above anything most people would call “affordable” for a DSLR, but also because of the fact that we have some evidence it’s practically the same camera as the $5,000 cheaper Canon 1D X. Either way, Philip Bloom’s video review has been quite eye-opening, and this camera makes a bit more sense in the market after seeing what it can do.

Canon 5D Mark II, 5D Mark III, and the New 6D Face off in a Moire and Aliasing Test

If you’re looking for a new full-frame camera from Canon, you’ve got some options now that the new Canon 6D is beginning to ship. We’ve already seen some samples from that camera, but it’s hard to know how it compares to the other models without looking at all of them directly. Mitch from planet5D has gotten a hold of the Mark II, Mark III, and 6D simultaneously to see if the new model still exhibits some of the same issues that the Canon 5D Mark III has fixed. (more…)

Watch Some of the First Footage from the New Full-Frame Canon 6D

With all of the recent camera announcements, it’s easy to forget that Canon introduced a new budget full-frame camera, the Canon 6D. While it doesn’t sport all of the features of the 5D Mark III, it should be a step up from the aging 5D Mark II (which hasn’t come down in price very much thanks to Canon’s new minimum pricing agreement with resellers). Johnnie Behiri, who often tests out the latest and greatest cameras, took a pre-production Canon 6D for a spin and gives us his thoughts and some footage below. (more…)

Is the Sony A99 the Best Full-Frame Camera for Video?

Joe Marine — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:15:49 +0000

Announced along with a hundred other cameras from Sony (including a full-frame mirrorless camera), the new A99 SLT full-frame camera is an attempt to take the reigns in the small camera race in both still photography and video. The specs are certainly there, with a 24 megapixel sensor and uncompressed HDMI, but as we know, specs don’t always tell the whole story. Johnnie Behiri, a BBC freelance cameraman/editor (among other things), got a chance to test out the camera and has given us some test videos along with his impressions. (more…)
