Canon5Dtips Photography is more than words.

This is right off the press, Red Rock Micro updated their offering for DSLR Rigs. In fact, it is such a scoop that they have not updated their website yet! Here is the press release: Hollywood, CA  (September 17, 2009) — Redrock Micro, the leading provider of cinema accessories for digital filmmakers, today announced a wide range of new accessories to ...

It seems like my partner does not need as much sleep as I do. Here is the final cut of the love story we had with Meggie and Corneliu. It was a pleasure to work with Robert and we are already planning future projects together, so stay tuned! If you like the clip, please click the heart button to show ...

Tired of reading 7D news on a site that is supposed to be dedicated to the 5D Mark II? We heard you. We will now post all 7D related content to Canon7dTips.com. We have not decided yet how we will manage content that is relevant to both 5D and 7D owners. So, until we figure it out, we will keep ...

I was reviewing the clips we shot yesterday and found this horror. Look at Meggie left eye in this clip. What do you see? Me! It might not be that noticeable at lower resolution, but when viewed full screen in HD, it is very annoying. At least to me… While it is sometimes impossible to get out of the reflection ...

Yesterday I was out with my friend Robert Cato shooting the remaining clips for a love story we started the previous Monday. Here is the trailer, using only Roberts clips from the Monday shoot. We did not have a laptop to copy my files over. Add my missing shots from last Monday and the ones we got yesterday and you  ...

Since I received my Z-finder, a lot of people have been asking me about it and even more about cheaper alternatives. While I don’t think there are any decent alternatives (yet) available on the market, here is a quick list of the ones I know of an have tested.

Hi guys, it seems like everything I touch these days is bound to brake. First my 50mm1.4 broke, then I had the flipping shutter issue with my 5D MrkII and a few minutes ago the site was down because of a technical problem on the server. Lets just say that I should not be in the mood to start new ...

Reviewing the clips I did last Monday, I realized the exposure was not what I remember seeing on the LCD while shooting. After some thinking, I figured it out: I used to set the LCD brightness level to auto.  Since I was shooting outside, the ambient light sensor was calibrating the LCD brightness as if it was used in bright ...

I know this is totally not related to my previous installation of the Z-Finder(it is just a bad coincidence), but since Sunday morning my 5D has been behaving strangely. In still mode, everything works fine but when I switch to liveview the shutter starts to flip randomly between 2-10 seconds. If I press the record button, it stops flipping and ...

As people are receiving their Z-Finder, reviews are popping everywhere on the net. The first one coming (that I am aware of) from M. Bloom and now there is one more from Mitch. As you could have guessed if you have been following my Gorilla rigs review, I am going to review it too. Actually, if it was not of ...

What happen when 3 Kenko extention tubes meet with a Sigma 1.4x teleconverter and a Canon 100 Macro lens? They merge together to create the Macrosaurus Rex! First, let me say this little project had no particular goal in mind other than seeing what the end result would be. As you can see in the video below, adding so many ...

This has to be the best spoof I have ever seen. It sums up pretty well the feeling of some 5D owners… You can order a 7d here and 5D here if you want to support this site. If so, thank you! Made by M. Bloom based on the clip from the movie The Downfall. This is an excellent movie ...
