Who buys a camera lens that costs the same as a small car?
Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Lens 4412B002 B&H.
$11,499. And its “temporarily out of stock” too.
Humorous features your new camera must have
- Feature 1: Shutter correction. Let’s face the facts, when you take a picture, you’ve already missed the shot. Shutter correction adds a random timer to trigger the shutter 5-200 seconds later, ensuring your mistake can still turn into the perfect shot.
- Feature 2: Auto pan. Henceforth, when shooting in “Program Auto” mode, DSLR’s will also make framing, panning and tilting decisions FOR you! No need for critical thinking. After all, technology will always be more intelligent than the artist.
- Feature 3: HSL randomizer. Who said a good picture or video needs to reflect accurate hue, saturation and lightness? With HSL randomizer, your DSLR will pick random numbers for each control, so you’ll be left saying, “Wow, that’s definitely not what this looks like in real life! Oh, well!”

The Zombie version of Final Cut Pro 7 lives again
Gadgetbox – Apple brings back previous Final Cut Pro, sort of.
Well, yeah, sort of. The new FCP X is incompatible with FCP 7, which it replaced. That created huge headaches for shops that needed to add more FCP 7 workstations to their editing mix – and could not jump on FCP X mid-stream since it was not compatible with existing projects.
I still use FCP 7 but have begun using Sony Vegas because of the uncertainty Apple created with this move. FCP X looked more like a replacement for Final Cut Express – while FCP 7 was dead ended.
