Adam made it to Tuttle last week for the first time in a while, but was thankful he’d set aside the time to do so after he learnt from @LloydDavis that Canon would be sponsoring the meet-up,
“[…] as I’m a long term Canon SLR and DSLR user, and getting the opportunity to play with their new kit was too good to be missed.”
His post at One Man and His Blog titled On Tuttle, Canon and the Multimedia Journalist gives an insight into how he sees the social media era requiring a wider skill set than ever before for the journalist, namely the ability to be handy with all aspects of a camera and the associated kit. This is something he addresses in relation to the cameras Canon had on show at Tuttle, all of which he was able to get hands on time with,
“I had the chance to play with the 500D, 5D and 7D, all of which can shoot HD video, and they’re seriously interesting pieces of kit. The paradigm of using the video recording is nothing like using a traditional camcorder, and challenging to get your head around, but I’m really looking forward to experimenting with the 500D’s video capabilities in the near future.”
He also gives CanonCameraBuzz a mention as we’ll be putting up some of the images taken with the Canon cameras (of which there was a lot!) shortly… watch this space!
You failed to take in to account Tuttle experiment, shot that day on 5d mark 2. http://www.bennycrime.com/2009/11/27/tuttle-experiment-vlomo09-day-27/
Hi Benny,
We failed *hangs head*. Don’t be too disappointed – we’ll make it up to you! Cheers for getting in touch, the video’s great. I mean Omar Sharif, superb.
I meant to say you failed to take into account in the style of MR susan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7iMiT3MoP0 when he talks about his mirror balls..
but realised it wasn’t completely clear at first glance..
