Today we are heading to the airport to embark on filming our 2011 World Series project. You can follow us on our TWITTER account --> @mindcastle for updates & behind-the-scenes look at what we're up to :)

Before we head out, I thought I would post some news from Canon on the new pro HDSLR camera they just announced today: The EOS 1D X

We currently have been shooting with the 5d Mark II's and 1Ds Mark IV's since they came out a couple years ago, so its great to see a new addition to the line!

Here is a quick rundown of the specs from the press release:

• Full Frame Sensor

• 12 FPS stills

• 14 FPS burst mode ( stills )

• 18.1 MP

• Dual DIGIC 5+

• Intraframe ALL-i video compression & IPB compression for HQ recording

• Continuous recording in video for 29 min 59 seconds

• Timecode compliant embedding with Free Run & Rec Run

• Manual audio controls taht can be adjusted while you shoot

• Built in LAN connection

• 61 AF points

• ISO range 100 - 51,200 ( w expanded ISOs at 50, 102,400 & 204,800 )

We've been working with so many amazing people at Canon over the past couple years, its great to see them come out with another great filmmaking & photographic tool. I thought I would post a few of the videos that we've created for them over the past year. We've had the opportunity to work with the Live Learning department, Service & Support, and most recently CPS -- traveling anywhere from the ultra high-tech lens measurment rooms in Virginia, to capturing CPS members in action at the Iditarod in Alaska... all I can say is that we've had a blast and are looking forward for all the exciting projects that we have with them this coming year.
