New Canon EOS-1D X - Quick overview Canon 1Dx

"LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., October 18, 2011 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, is proud to introduce a completely revolutionized EOS-1D series camera, the Canon EOS-1D X Digital SLR camera. As the new leader in Canon’s arsenal of professional DSLRs, the EOS-1D X will be a high-speed multimedia juggernaut replacing both the EOS-1Ds Mark III and EOS-1D Mark IV models in Canon’s lineup. Enhancing the revolutionary image quality of the EOS-1Ds and speed capabilities of the EOS-1D series, the EOS-1D X DSLR features an 18-megapixel full-frame Canon CMOS sensor, Dual DIGIC 5+ Imaging Processors, 14-bit A/D data conversion and capable of shooting an incredible 12 frames-per-second (fps). Canon’s EOS DSLR cameras and accessories have a long-standing legacy of providing high-quality results to professionals in a wide range of markets, including sports, nature, cinematography, wedding and commercial studios. The addition of this new model will help take this tradition to a whole new level.

Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 Sigma EX120-300 f2.8 APO DG OS HSM – A field review

I’ve been using the Sigma EX 120-300 f2.8 APO HSM lens since 19 September 2003, exactly 8 years to the specific day of writing this review (I know because it says so on the original invoice). Now everyone who knows me and has seen my photography on sport and birding with the odd wildlife moments thrown in for good measure, know that I’ve fully endorsed the original Sigma EX 120-300 f2.8 APO HSM lens from the beginning, in fact I’ve sung its praises ad infinitum, all relating to sharpness, auto-focus (AF) speed, colour rendition, general image quality (IQ) and bokeh.

The Best High ISO Noise Reduction tool: Exposure

The question often comes up about the noise we get on the modern day camera sensors. I am always amazed at how spoilt we have become when we can now complain that the ISO3200 noise on our DSLR's are "too excessive"! Where were the days when we hardly touched the ISO400 film because of the grain?!

Whichever way you look at it though, the high ISO capabilities of our cameras makes it possible to shoot things that was previous impossible or at the very least, very difficult. But the noise! all those blue, green and pink dots all over the image…

For some reason I always seem to be on the other side of the noise conversation, so either my camera doesn't react like others, or I am blind and do not see the noise. I do believe the third option - I have a different shooting technique.
