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.
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.
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.
With the impending worldwide releases of Nikon’s two new video capable, full-frame DSLR’s in the D4 and D800, Redrock Micro, the HSDLR rig makers that needs no formal introduction, have acknowledged the company’s advancements in DSLR video and have opted to create rigs of the limited edition variety that compliment the aforementioned cameras.
Unfortunately, the originally scheduled due date of March won’t pan out for Canon’s flagship DSLR, as the camera maker has announced that the EOS-1D X’s release has been has been pushed back to “late April.”
Caleb Pike of DSLRvideoShooter.com, in his never-ending hunt for useful and affordable alternatives for some of the higher priced DSLR rigs and accessories out on the market, has come up with a unique and incredibly simple top-handle rig that’s both flexible in the literal sense, but also in terms of functionality.
Pike’s complete tutorial for building the rig can be viewed above, with the accessories mentioned in the video shown below:
The announcement of the Canon EOS-1D X marked a turning point and the validation of the 1D-line of DSLRs going forward. Not only did it merge two regarded cameras into one complete model, it was the first full-frame camera announced in over two years, the last coming by way of the Nikon 3DS.
In a six-part series entitled: EOS-1D X on film, CPN Europe will touch on all the features of the low-light beast set for release in 2012 – namely, the completely overhauled 61-point autofocus system and the new full-frame CMOS sensor paired with the DIGIC 5+ processor in the first two editions of the series below:
First off, if you are not familiar with Dan Chung, you should be. He runs the incredibly informative website, DSLRnewsshooter.com, a site that not only reports on what currently hot in the industry, but also compelling news topics captured with the use of DSLRs. With that being said…
Chung got the chance to get cozy with the new Canon EOS-1DX and talked to Canon of Europe’s Mike Burnhill about many of the video dedicated features that are new to the 1-series line of DSLRs. After watching the 14-minute overview, you should have a better understanding of what to expect next March when Canon’s new beast is set for release.
With all the buzz surrounding the Canon EOS-1D X, it may have been easy to miss a small little factoid buried deep within the announcement details. There’s an apparent autofocus issue that pertains to lenses containing a maximum aperture of f/8. The 1D X actually loses its AF ability all together under those particular conditions, a problem that wasn’t prevalent in previous 1-series models.
