Re: Quite a nice C300 endorsement
I'm not sure what the rules are here in terms of linking to other forums, suffice to say if you google "c300 Afganistan" you will see some gorgeous shots from this camera... It's early days yet

Re: New Canon 4K camera announcements
I have a C300 on pre-order. I was waiting to hear this announcement before committing. So far it hasn't dissuaded me.
The C300 offers a beautiful 1080 image for content I can deliver to clients...

Thanks Jim.

Re: Portraits: Use GH2 or purchase 5Dmkii ?
The 5DII and Gh2 actually complement each other rather well - they have such different strengths.
For low light jobs or when you want a pretty full frame look, you'll find yourself using the 5DII...

Re: So, is the 5D3 soft?

I enjoy the that blog, but I wouldn't get too caught up by the author's comments on the 5DIII. His focus has historically been on resolving power. Fair enough, but at the same time I...
