NEW IN RENTALS! Canon EOS 80D DSLR

We have replaced our hard working Canon EOS 70D DSLR with Canon's new EOS 80D DSLR. Improvements relative to the 70D is a new, higher resolution 24.2 megapixel sensor, a 45 point all cross type AF system, 1080p 60fps video recording & larger buffer. I personally like the 3x-10x digital video zoom feature, as it allows me to get much closer to wildlife and still preserve the 1080p resolution than I would without it.  The large tilt screen with touch function is also quite useful, as is the NFC/WiFi function.

Scott Secco speaking at FUSION 2014

For those who are interested in mountain bike action film-making or just love watching mountain bike films, you should come hear Scott Secco at Fusion 2014. Scott is an action sports filmmaker from Victoria and his talk will cover his own introduction to film-making, the summer he worked as an intern for Sherpas Cinema during the editing of ‘’Into the Mind,’’ and his transition from shooting web videos to working on his first feature film: ‘’Builder.’’ From athlete injury in the Chilean Andes, to the joys of hyperlapsing, this talk will cover the ins and outs of action sport film-making. Over the years he’s mastered the art of riding a mountain bike down sketchy trails with far too much camera gear strapped to his back – a handy skill for an action film-maker.  For more information about FUSION 2014 and tickets go to: http://www.photographiefestival.ca/event-schedule/fusion-2014/
