Canon 5D2 officically announced

It’s been a little teasing game between Canon and the rest of the (photographers) world these last days.

The long waited Canon EOS 5D MK II is now officially announced. Against all expectation regarding its sensor, the 5D2 doesn’t “reuse” the 16 MP of the 1Ds MK II but the newly released 21 MP sensor of the flagship 1 Ds MK III. 

Instead of a dual DiGIC 3 engines, the 5D2 boats a new DiGIC 4 engine and the ISO range goes from 100 to 6400, boostable to 50-25400. Lined up with the L series lenses, this new “mid range” camera will play in the medium format playground.

I can’t wait to start shooting with one so I already put a pre-order order 🙂

 

Floriade ’08

Spring’s Back 🙂 I’ve never been so impatient looking for the return of Spring, even I managed to escape a few times during Winter to shoot some destination weddings and engagements. It was so nice to be out there welcoming the first blooming flowers. The day was exceptionally warm, enough to only wear a “normal” shirt.

Something tells me that I’m gonna love this seasons, especially because of the return of the wedding season as well. Stick around for more posts.

Happy accident

I’ve heard seen other photographers’ “happy accident” before and never had one.. untill this one.

My main light didn’t go off and I only got the back light on this shot. When it may not be suitable for an album, it is still a good photo to show off, I recon. So, here it is.

Canon 5D MK II Reloaded.

Well well well. Some news additional infos regarding this so much expected new Canon full frame body.

Infos that I get at this stage is:

  • Sensor: CMOS 24X36 24 MP
  • New battery, new grip *
  • Processor: DIGIC IV *
  • Magnesium alloy case *
  • Live view *
  • Video mode- (expected to be HD @ 1080p)
  • System of integrated cleaning *
  • Compatible objectives EFF and Speedlite EX

As you can see, the ennounced and receiled Sony ALpha 900 is no more the highest MP FF out there. Of course if these specs are verified.

Video of the pipe

Following the post yesterday about the broken pipe in the Civic, I have attached a video here.

With this incident, I hope people will now be a little more concerned bout how we need to save our water. So please respect the water restriction and help our community to meet the water consumption target. Check the signs along the roads.

Canon 5D2 / 3D Eye Control. Closer and closer

Following the post a few days ago, with the pinky Canon 5D, I just got a few more convincing “rumours” on the announced new Canon. Check it out as I might be shooting a next wedding with one of those 🙂


The famous Eye Control System found in the EOS 3 of the same name.
