So, the last couple months were a bit rough around here, and I didn’t have time to pull Nick away from his other duties long enough for us to cut our usual Voice of Raw podcasts. But, it’s the post-Christmas lull right now and we’ve missed the sounds of of our voices as we obstensibly tell you what’s up in the camera world.
So, we’re back…TA-DA!
Join us as Nick demos the many, many uses for Gary Fong’s new Flip Cage: a point-and-shot roll cage, acro stand, table-top tripod, steadycam, and more…
Finally, a new videocast demoing the, ahem, raw speed of Sandisk’s new Extreme Pro series CF cards, rating a massive 90 megabytes per second sustainable write speed. Yowza. What’s that mean in the real world? Why not watch the video?
Nick and Derek tackle everything from Canon’s new EOS-1D Mark IV to the S90, Lensnbaby’s new optics, Sony price moves, Lightroom, and more.

A Friday special, from the dark corners of our footage folder, the Lensbaby Composer! Representing the newest of Lensbaby’s optical solutions the Composer features a ball-joint method for orienting the “sweet spot” and a true barrel-focus system, along with their new swappable optics (which we move to call ’swaptics,’ you can have that off us, Lensbaby) which let you choose how much toy camera effect you want your Lensbaby to yield.
While we wait on Carel’s review of it to come in, we got a Nikon Coolpix S1000pj into the hands of good old Nick, who took some test shots so we can show you the exciting new built-in projector (we had to keep the room dark, forgive the video quality in spots).
Nick, Derek, and Dawn all pool together for this year’s most chilling documentary on a very real pandemic in the camera world, 10 years in the making.
