Do you shoot video?
Digital Photography School just ran a survey on how many camera users shoot video as well as still photos. Their results are interesting, especially when you consider that they had to discard their highest response group, the 35% who claimed that their camera “doesn’t have video.” I actually find that statistic almost hard to believe, [...]
Canon Wireless Flash System
With the introduction of the EOS 7D, Canon finally took the initiative to play catch-up to Nikon in an area where they had been woefully lacking: wireless flash control. For years Canon has been not only in the backseat, but in the far back of the bus, when compared to Nikon’s Creative Lighting System. The [...]
Canon Powershot SX120 – Review
Several changes in my system have forced me to reevaluate my current gear load, and some pieces are being replaced. Foremost is my Canon G10, which has been a wonderful little camera. But in reality, it is a point & shoot, and as P&S cameras go, it’s overpowered & overpriced for how I use it. [...]
Canon EOS 7D – Review: Part 2
Last time I talked about the physical features of the new 7D.

One of the things that excited me most about the 7D was the built-in flash commander mode. [...]
Canon EOS 7D – Review, Part 1
The new Canon 7D is finally in my hands, courtesy of J&R Electronics. And I couldn’t be happier. There are a lot of areas I want to review, and as I continue shooting with the camera, I’m sure that I’ll find even more to say. So I’m going to break it all down into sections. [...]
AF Micro-adjustment
I suspect that many of you won’t be familiar with the term “AF micro-adjustment.” And there’s no reason you should be, unless you’ve used one of Canon’s top series cameras, like the EOS 5D. This is a feature that is just starting to trickle down into the mid-range EOS bodies – the 50D was the [...]
Gear Upgrade
I’m getting a new piece of gear! Ordered this evening from B&H, a Canon Powershot G10 will soon join my kit, replacing the venerable Powershot SX100 which I’ve enjoyed for the past four months. I anticipate two questions – 1.) Why in the world would I replace a four month old camera; 2.) Why would anyone [...]
