The Sony A55 is the next big step for Sony, which busted onto the scene with the A300 and A350 DSLRs almost 3 years go with their fast live view autofocus. The A55′s live view autofocus is a step above pretty much everything else on the market, including Sony’s prior models. And that, is the biggest and best feature on the A55.
The A55 has a 16.2MP CMOS sensor for high-res stills and also captures full 1920 x 1080 HD video. As an entry-level DSLR, the A55 delivers solid results in both categories. [click to continue…]

Patrick Kizny shot this HDR sequence inside an 18th century chapel in Poland. Whether you like HDR or not, you have to appreciate the amount of work that went into this production – particularly, how smooth the slider shots were for the timelapse sequences.
He used a number of different cameras, but primarily relied on the 5D Mark II for the timelapse shots due to its high resolution. If you are interested in more about how he made it, check out the behind the scenes video below.
A detailed description of the post-production timelapse HDR workflow can be found on the Looky Creative blog.

Version 1.2 of the Canon E1 plug-in for Final Cut Pro is available for download now. The new version allows you to import files without the need to maintain the CF card folder structure. It’s designed to work with the Canon 5D Mark II, 7D, 1D Mark IV and 60D. I’ve heard unconfirmed reports that the new version will work with the Canon Rebel series DSLRs but nothing for certain yet. For more details, see the original post here.
You can download it on product pages for Canon DSLRs. Here’s a direct link to the 5D Mark II Drivers & Software page. Just select Mac OS X as your OS and then choose the download link for the plug-in.
