Here Comes The Canon EOS R

By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 1, 2018

Nokishita leaked the details of the new Canon EOS R Mirrorless camera and it’s very much designed to be in the middle of Sony’s a7III and a7RIII camera based on the specs. If the price point is right this could be an interesting competitor. Canon’s dual pixel autofocus has already proven to be very effective so this could be the camera to beat in the near future.

Let’s Talk Mirrorless: Nikon, Canon, Sony, Fujifilm

By Louis Ferreira | Published: August 31, 2018


Now that the Nikon Z announcement has passed it’s time to talk about the growth of mirrorless. Sony and Fujifilm have blazed much of the way after m43 kicked off the move to mirrorless, but there have been growing pains. Current generation mirrorless cameras are largely good enough any task with cameras like the Sony a9 hitting a new high water mark that beats almost any DSLR on the market today.

From the Panasonic G1 to the Sony a9/Fujifilm GFX mirrorless has come a long way while Canon and Nikon have largely ignored the professional mirrorless market. During this time they should have been preparing for the transition away from DSLR to mirrorless by measuring what does and does not work in order to try to leap ahead of Sony and Fujifilm. Unfortunately it seems like Nikon might have ignored some valuable lessons along the way and I wouldn’t be surprised if Canon does the same. Read More »

CamRanger 2 Adding Sony Support in 2019

By Louis Ferreira | Published: August 29, 2018


Faster & Farther
With 802.11ac WiFi, the CamRanger 2 is over 5 times faster. Even the 802.11n WiFi is over 2 times. And the usable range is over 3 times farther.

Sony & Fuji Support
Nikon and Canon support will of course continue, but the CamRanger 2 will also support select Sony and Fujifilm cameras. We always said we would not offer support until we could do it in a way that works for professionals. Our new design removes previous limitations, limitations other wireless tethering devices suffer from.

New App Design and Features
Like the new CamRanger Mini software, the new apps have a newer, more modern feel based on customer feedback.

The new app is also packed with new features that we will be unveiling later.

Coming 2019….
