Will You be Our Soldier of Love?
This Valentine’s, almost everything can go wrong but if you have geniuses like Sade, Marvin Gaye or Barry White on heavy rotation, the universe will realign itself and love will conquer all. “Soldier of Love” is Sade’s first album since “Lover’s Rock” in 2000, and you better cop this before Valentine’s Day if you know what’s good for you.
Canon T2i Hits the Sweetspot
The just announced Canon T2i is on paper, the perfect “goldilocks” camera, borrowing the cutting edge technology from its much more expensive siblings the Canon 7D and Canon 5D Mark II in a ultra affordable package for aspiring photographers and filmmakers. How affordable? How about half the price of a 7D and a third of the price of a 5D Mark II?
What can this puppy do you ask? Try 1080 24/25/30P, 18 megapixels, 50 and 60 fps in 720P mode, +5/-5 in HDR (high dynamic range), HDMI out and SDXC memory card compatibility? Imagine getting a 7D for $799 body only, ignore a few high-end features they’ve stripped away like the 7D’s weather sealing, and you can appreciate what a gift from the Canon gods this announcement is for shutterbugs and even aspiring filmmakers. Not surprisingly, much of the buzz has been from 7D owners wondering why Canon gave away the farm. If you’ve been waiting on the sidelines for the perfect “sweet spot” DSLR that shoots fantastic photos and film-like video, wait no longer.
