Link of The Day - 1st Show Reel

Here's a Show reel for Mike Dimoff  the Race Announcer @ theTrack.

In case you don't know,Show Reels are used as an example of your work, with the hope someone will like it and you will get more work.

It's sort of like a video job history to include with your resume.

Link of The Day - C100 gets Dual Pixel AF

The C100 ($5000ish) is being upgraded to include Dual Pixel AF (like the 70D).

It's a $500 upgrade for curerent owners. Not sure if will be standard or an option for future purchasers.

One commenter made a point I like.  They said (something like) I'm more interested that they are putting work into upgrading cameras they already have  than what the upgrade actually is.  

I also like the idea that when you get a camera in that range they will release upgrades, not just realse a new model every year and expect you to keep buying new.  

Lets hope it's a trend not just a one time thing.
