Canon5Dtips Photography is more than words.

Just saw this on twitter. An anonymous donor gave a 7D to Hudson. While you might be thinking “So what? I have a 5DMrkII!” and even be a bit frustrated to know the 7D might take some time away from Hudson to work on the 5DMrkII, this could be in fact a good news. Quoted from the Magic Lantern site ...

As you may have noticed, I am now looking for sponsors. While one spot is expected to be filled very soon, the other is up for grab! If you know a manufacturer or software developer who could be interested, please point them here. Thanks to this change in philosophy, very soon you should see pop-ups and blinking images all over ...

A dew days ago, I was contacted by Yassine Ouhilal, a renowned surf photographer  who created a movie about people who were crazy enough to surf in the Arctic! First, take a moment to watch the clip. This is a preview of a yet to be shot full featured film on the subject. Shooting in such harsh conditions is a ...

With all the talks about the 7D, it might be a good time to step back and look at one of the most useful feature of the 5D Mark II: its high megapixel count. While the 7D is very close to the 5D in terms of pixels, the 5D still has about 20% more and, for someone like me, it ...

Remember my hint from a previous post about a new secret product I was working on? Well, I am glad to say that prototype #1 is about to be completed and I am going to use it next weekend to test it out in the field. If it proves useful, the next step will be to start manufacturing a small ...

Since I got my random flipping shutter issue, I have done a lot of Googling to see if other people have had the same issue.  During this process, I discovered a few other issues 5D Mark II owners might have and thought it would be a good idea to list them. While looking at this list, remember that Canon has ...

I have always been a big fan of Chase Jarvis. The guy has style, shoot cool things (like Ninjas!) and is really engaged with the community. So, as soon as I read about him releasing an iPhone app I knew it would be something cool and different. Basically, it replaces your ‘normal’ camera with a twist. Actually, two twists! First ...

It seems like I forgot the most obvious output when I did my analysis of this rumor… The USB plug! I cant believe I forgot it! It has enough bandwidth to carry a RAW signal to the hypothetical module. It would basically be the same thing as when shooting in tethering mode, except for video. Suddenly, such a product looks ...

If you use a Beachtek DXA-5D to capture sound while recording with your 5D, you should take a look at the new droplet my friend Mathieu has created. The droplet convert the file to ProRes HQ and remove the low frequency used to disable the audio gain. Simple, but effective. Get the droplet here. If you would rather use other ...

Welcome to the last section of the part 2 of the Gorilla rigs review. Due to technical issues with one of my 5DMrkII, this review will not contain the video I had planned to shoot for it (sorry!). Meet the Tactical Shooter The Tactical shooter is the big daddy of the Gorilla set. With it, you can create a Quick ...

Robert saw this on Canon Rumors coming from the Red User forum: “A little birdy just whispered something pretty remarkable into my ear. I cannot verify this AT ALL but rumor has it that Canon may be prepping to unveil a RAW or sRAW recording module for the 5D2, 7D, etc, which would record possibly via the CF card slot. ...

A few people asked me to give more details about how we shot the love story clip (posted here). Instead of writing a structured post, I am just going to go with the flow and write everything that comes to my mind. The clip was shot on two days. Originally, it was all planed to be done in a single ...
