We apologise for the short show this week and the lack of one last week but we have all been otherwise occupied all at once. This week James and Phil discuss the future directions of photographic hardware. Canon release the EOS 5D Mk11 as a 21 Megapixel 1080p video shooting beast. MPEG4 HD sounds OK in theory but there are some questions about its’ use. RED continue talk on their forums about an imminent new camera. They are calling it a DSMC (Digital Still & Motion Camera). We ponder the ramifications. Carl Zeiss announce the release of two prime lenses with Canon EOS mounts. Red Rock Micro announce a few new releases and we reckon they might have little growth potential. Tamron release a Swiss Army Lens the 18 - 270mm. PhotoGeek Gadget The zoom lens coffee mug
