Cannon's Canon's

Whenever I look for lenses for my camera, theres two big differences in the ones that I look for. Both lenses are great at what they do, but are very different from another. You wouldn't think two lenses could be that different, I know I was surprised. Prime Lenses are lenses that are stuck at a fixed focal length. Which basically means you can't zoom with them.  Sounds like a bad thing, but there's a lot of benefits to them. One being that since they don't have to worry about zooming, the image is way sharper than zoom lenses. They are usually smaller too, making them easier to throw in a bag.

Once again, I bought it for video so the photo settings didn't come into play as much. The only difference I could find between the two was the inclusion of a second screen to view your manual settings. I figured I wouldn't need that extra screen as I could see the exact same settings on the...

Hello! My name is Josh Cannon, and welcome to the blog. I'm a student at Washburn University majoring in Mass Media with an emphasis on Film and Video. We'll be discussing the process of and what to look for when buying a camera, specifically Canon. Even though I'm relatively new to the market of purchasing camera equipment, I'm knowledgeable because I've been in the video field for 7 years. I'll be able to make educated purchases and help whoever needs it.
