Over the past weekend I took the two hundred some mile trip up to Buffalo, New York to meet up with some DSLR enthusiasts and Guru Philip Bloom. We all met at Duff’s Famous Wings in Depew, New York last Sunday to enjoy some buffalo wings, talk, and share DSLR info. It still amazes me that some 20 strangers can get together and have lunch and get along really well. Highlights of the whole thing would have to be watching Rob taste a death wing and almost cry, Philip actually eating a death wing, and me getting death wing sauce in my eye and needing Philip to pour water in my eye to help save it. I owe you one Philip.

Sorry for not updating on my usual Monday mornings. Last week was finals week and this is my first week on break so I needed a little relax time. But I’m back!
More and more DSLR manufactures are entering the viewfinder race and in my observation Zacuto really sets the standard for a DSLR Viewfinder which is why I decided to go with the Z-Finder. This is not to say that other manufactures are making lesser products. Like in my previous post comparing the Z-Finder to the Hawk, Letus has really put there best foot forward in there variation of a Viewfinder. But we seem to have a few other contenders that I didn’t touch base on in my original post.
Genus, manufacture of some great budget matte boxes and other camera accessories, has come out with their own Viewfinder. The Genus Loupe(G-LV) has a 2.5x magnification and fits 3-inch screens, made from hard plastic, and is rumored to cost around $125-$150. I have emailed the company asking for more details, but that is all I could dig up for now. If I get a response I will be sure to update this post. Click here for more information on the G-LV

BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK!
It doesn’t take long after a new popular technology comes out for a few knock offs to hit the shelves and DSLR supports are no exceptions. While browsing around I came across two Zacuto rig knock-offs that might rival the real thing and felt compelled to share.

Battle of the DSLR Viewfinder
I recently stumbled across the Letus Hawk VF and was taken back a little bit when the first sentence of it’s description is “100% custom designed”. It looks astoundingly close to the Zacuto Z-Finder Pro and the specs are pretty close as well.
Zacuto Z-Finder Pro Series:
Magnification: 2.5x and 3x
Diopter range of -2.75 and up (unlimited with extender frames)
Anti-Fog
(I think hard Plastic)
Price: BH:$375 Zacuto:$395
Letus Hawk VF:
Magnification: 2.75x
Adjustable from +1.5 to -2.5
Anti-Fog
Made of Carbon Fiber
Price: $385

So Zacuto just announced their Z-Cage, but at the steep price of $1,392.70 you won’t be see me wielding one of these bad boys anytime soon. But this new addition to the Zacuto family really got me thinking about the large amounts of new products, including cages, that this HDSLR revolution has give us enthusiasts. Not to mention the large amounts of DIY projects out there. So I felt compelled to throw together a few of my favorite DSLR Camera supports that I have found, DIY and Consumer Grade.

Gizmodo put out a review for the Canon T2i and this thing really does stack up well next to some of the mid-range cameras’ with out strangling your wallet.
“Canon’s Rebel T2i is an incredible camera—everything a first DSLR should be. It takes fantastic photos (and, crucially, video) for the price, it’s easy to use, and perhaps most importantly, it’s a camera you can grow with.
But there’s no shame in using it if you really know what you’re doing, either.“
This review just reassured me that I made the right decision in my purchase.
Read the full review over at Gizmodo
planet 5D also put together a great chart on their blog comparing the T1i, T2i, 7d, 5D Mark II, and 1D Mark IV. Check that out HERE!

Hey everyone, I did my second shoot with the Red40 crew for AP. We shoot the bands “The Summer Set” and “The Maine” and I had my T2i there this time around so got to get in the action a bit more.

This was my first video using my Canon T2i. I used a Canon 50mm 1.8 lens. No grading. Straight from camera to edit to compression to web. It’s a little shaky, but I didn’t us anything to stabilize so it is what it is.
I attempted to have sort of a story in this. I don’t know how well it reads, but for just a bunch of random clips I took walking around the beach with my girlfriend I’m happy.
