Canon T4i 650D run-and-gun shoot in Thailand
In summer 2012 we had the chance to get our fingers on the brand new Canon Rebel T4i (EOS 650D). We went on a trip to Thailand and I thought this would be a great way to test the camera for the first time. We flew to Bangkok to shoot a commercial for a few […]
Capturing Rotterdam with the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera
In January 2015 we went to Rotterdam, the second biggest city of the Netherlands to shoot some impressions. Rotterdam’s architecture is a mix of modern and very unique buildings and the typical Dutch houses. It’s almost like Venice because you can get pretty much everywhere by boat but also by car and of course bicycle. […]
Canon EOS 80D Review
In September 2013 ago we got our hands on a Canon EOS 70D and were overall happy with the performance and results in video mode. Almost three years later we tested its successor the EOS 80D for a week. How much has changed and improved? Three words: Not that much. But that doesn’t mean it’s […]

A few weeks ago I got my hands on the Canon EF 100-400mm F/4.5-5.6 L IS USM (version 1) telephoto lens. The lens is currently priced at 1.299 US Dollar which is not too much considering the focal length, the red ring and the image quality. At first I only took photographs but then decided […]
Canon 70D compared to the 7D
While I was testing the Canon EOS 70D a couple of weeks ago, I thought about the main differences between the “other” APS-C cameras from Canon and what has changed over the last few years. In most comparisons online the 70D wins slightly when comparing it to the 7D. I wanted to find out if […]

Best lens adapter Metabones Speed Booster review
The Metabones adapters, mostly Speed Boosters, have become pretty popular over the last few years. Why? Because they do more than just connect lens type A with camera mount B. Here is what Wikipedia has to say about that: “An adapter is a device that converts attributes of one electrical device or system to those […]
