The new Canon 550D - What does it all mean Basil?

The Canon 550D – The 7D's little brother!

So it was that Canon announced to a mostly suspecting public that coming soon to store near them would be the latest addition to the Rebel Line, the Canon 550D or Rebel Ti2. This little beauty certainly does look the goods on paper

All work and no play!

Cotton Tree Jetty on a perfect Sunshine Coast day! Times like this it sucks being behind the camera!

Crazy times abound here on the Sunshine Coast at the moment. I have been shooting flat out and working pretty much non-stop. It seems that this time of the year is not only the hottest, but also

Paragliding at Point Cartwright

A parachute, a stiff breeze, a death defying drop off and the will to conquer it. All in a days play for a paraglider. . .boy does it look fun!

Canon 7D Autofocus Issue

I’m onto my second 7D, and it’s still not right. It’s a great camera so as long as I don’t need to use the autofocus. Ahhh, it’s a sad story to tell, this one. . .

Canon EOS 7D Camera Test

TESTING, TESTING!!! 1,2,3!

Disclaimer: This is straight out of the camera! It includes unaltered wind generated lens shake, automatic highlight tone priority visibly changing the exposure (lesson learnt!), messy pans and all. It is not meant to be a showcase of my best work, it is only to show the results of my first

A shot in the dust. . .

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, or not on the east coast of Australia, you wouldn’t know that it’s been dusty as hell outside and visibility has been right down.

Thinking it might make for some interesting light, I decided to head out at dusk this evening to shoot a little something.

The shots that came

Canon EOS 7D – Australian Release

So it’s no secret that I’ve pre-ordered my 7D already. It’s paid for, done and dusted! The waiting part is the hard bit. . .oh and the dreams I’ve had about it. . .ridiculous! Who dreams of camera’s? Obviously OCD freaks like myself!

Anyway, I was talking to the dealer just yesterday about the

Almost confirmed spec list of the Canon 7D!

Again, I’m hanging on every word that Canon Rumors is posting as more and and more information comes to light on the new Canon 7D.

Turns out it’s spec’d to sit in between the Canon 5D MKII and the 50D. It’s still an APS-C sized sensor with a probably 1.6X crop factor, but it trumps even
