Is Canon Back in the game? RAWtalk 119

The huge news this week centers around Canon releasing not one not two but four new DSLR’s and an Ultra WIDE zoom pro lens. Does this put Canon back in the game or were they ever really out of it?

I personally don’t think Canon was anywhere near out of the game. They have the 5D Mark III along with the 1D X as well as a lot of adapted professional lenses. This is what happens in the photo world, Nikon has something new for a while then Canon has something new so on and so forth. So one or the other is always on top for a period of time.

As a little side note, at the time of recording we did not have all the official specs. But I chose to discuss the camera after my inside source was able to verify the validity of information that was out there as fact.

I tried something new for Flying Solo where I put up a video on Facebook asking for your flying solo questions. It looked like it worked because over 200 questions came in which is more than double what we usually get. I chose 30 of the questions to feature on the show and moved at a pretty brisk pace to make sure I got to them all.

This weeks show was sponsored by RODE Microphone. As you know we use the RODE broadcaster Mics both in the loft and on the road. They sound fantastic and I think we have one of the best sounding Podcasts around because of them. Remember if you don’t check out RODE’s site this week our friend Scott over there’s son may grow up to have blonde hair!!!!
