First off, if you haven’t had the chance to check out Marvel’s latest superhero action-adventure flick, The Avengers, I strongly urge that you do so – it’s a fantastic film. Moreover, if you are a Canon HDSLR shooter, today’s news might give you an added incentive to give it a watch.
While Canon has been thoroughly entrenched in a highly-publicized 5D Mark III hardware faux pa, a problem that the company has just now corrected, it seems as though Nikon will have a few service issues of their own to contend with as well, confirming that a “small number” of D4s and D800s have the tendency to “lock-up” and become unresponsive.
After receiving their first batch of 5D Mark III’s post light-leak, the good folks at LensRentals.com decided it would be fitting to see for themselves what measures Canon took to ensure the issue wouldn’t rear its ugly head once more.
As promised, Canon has completed their prompt investigation into the 5D Mark III’s light-leak phenomenon, an issue that has been affecting numerous early adopters since the camera’s recent release. While many have experienced value changes in the 5D3′s metering system when the top LCD is illuminated in dark situations, Canon has confirmed that, while these fluctuations do exist on the surface, it does not affect the final image out come stating:
The EOS-1D C Showcased During Last Night's Canon Event - Image Credit: The Verge
Sebastian and the good folks from Cinema 5D were gracious enough to capture last night’s entire Canon “Image What’s Next” Keynote as part of their highly publicized pre-NAB screening event.
Aside from Shane Hurlbut’s short film which was shot entirely on the EOS-1D C and presented for everyone’s readied eyes to see yesterday, the videos below pretty much tell the tale of last night’s tape, featuring some insight from Hurlbut himself, along with a few words from industry veteran Jon Fauer, ASC. Take a look:
Alas, more disappointing news for potential EOS-1D X purchasers… Amid the excitement of today’s EOS-1D C and C500 4K Cinema Camera announcements, comes word from Canon Europe regarding further delays hindering the availability of Canon’s highly anticipated DSLR. Today’s announcement states that the EOS-1D X will be released in mid-June due to “a delay to the start of mass production”- a postponement of nearly two months.
Both B&H and Adorama have just opened the option to pre-order Canon’s new flagship DSLR, the EOS-1D X, becoming the first major online retailers to do so and with it confirming the date in which the first units will begin matriculating their way through the market.
As the 5D Mark III continues on with its well-deserved post announcement time in the spotlight, most of the updates surrounding the camera are noteworthy given the fact that many individuals have been eagerly awaiting its arrival for quite some time.
Aside from the lack of 1080/60p and clean HDMI output, another area in which the Canon 5D Mark III didn’t satisfy the long standing public wishes was in its lack of an articulating LCD, something even 60D and T3i users currently enjoy. Well, it seems as though there might be some method behind the latter’s madness, as David Parry from Canon UK dished out some revealing information to the folks at Techrader.
