New Cameras

Exciting news as Canon breaks the 21 megapixel barrier. Last week, Canon announced their new 1Ds Mark III which will undoubtedly take digital photography to new heights. We've been using the 17 megapixel 1Ds Mark II for two years now and it has been an amazing workhorse for us, so we are excited to get our hands on the new one.

Can a camera make you a better photographer? Well, I believe it is all about the eye of the artist, but the latest breakthroughs in digital technology are making me re-think the possibilities. The new cameras can work in low light much better than film ever could in regards to detail at high ISO's. This means a photographer using this system can photograph differently than the options of the past. So, we'll be seeing some new image styles appear over the next six months I am sure.

The long debate of Canon vs. Nikon seems to be over with this announcement. Nikon just introduced their new flagship system which only pushes 12 megapixels. It will be interesting to see if they will ever catch up. Although I have to say that the new Nikon is a gorgeous looking camera and 12 megapixels is more than ample for wedding and most portrait photography.

It's been a great weekend. We had the weekend off and it was nice to feel like a normal person for a couple of days. In the thick of wedding season, we work weekends and midweek, so having a weekend is a welcomed change.
