Because I'm on the road and away from the i7/Premiere Pro studio I grudgingly had to use iMovie on my MBP 13 to cut the thing together. This, as many will know, is an exercise in futility. iMovie brings the Mac to its knees.

Net-net: it sounds wonderful. Yet I still dream of EPIC to tell you the truth. My 60D is still an amazing workhorse, though I could use better low-light performance when it comes to video.

The 5D Mark III specs are almost -- almost -- enough to make me stand next to the Grape Crusher in Napa and scream out, "Epic who?!"

Over 1,000 people turned out for the Heroes & Hearts annual luncheon. In case you missed the announcement, Winter in San Francisco has been cancelled. Reports suggest it will be saved for summer.

The results I've been able to achieve with Lightroom 4 in just a few weeks of casual testing have, for lack of a better expression, blown me away. Granted, I'm not looking to land the next American Photo or Life magazine cover.

I have a mind to just fly my Canon EOS 60D over to Napa to cover events for Stark Insider from the comforts of my office. If only it had a winch of some kind to haul away a case of Harlan Cab...

From what I've read we should be seeing the new 5D in a matter of months. The big question is price. Nikon recently released their new flagship, the D4. Priced at $6K it competes with the Canon 1D.

I love my EOS 60D, but the T3i and T2i use the same sensor, and can be had for a song. For example, you can get the T3i plus kit lens for only $712. That, my friends, is insanity. Revel while you can.

Even with the Canon EOS Rebel T3i and EOS 60D now on the market, the T2i continues to impress--and I whole-heartedly recommend it to those looking to get into DSLR. I took it down to the Baja for a few weeks and shot over 1,000 photos.

A comparison and review of the Rode Videomic and Videmic Pro. If you're a fan of DSLR, and looking to improve sound quality, add these shotgun mics to your short list.
