Essential Camera Gear - by Jessica King

I would be lost without my Canon EOS 5D and 24-70mm f/2.8. It enables me to keep control in all lighting conditions, which is so very important for wedding photography, and it’s superior performance allows me to work artistically in a fast-paced environment. I am driven to catch those fleeting moments!

Take a look at my latest wedding shoot here. Thanks to the flexibility of my Canon gear I was able to continue shooting through a tough 36 degree day without any fuss and still maintain my creativity and positive interaction with my clients. Phew!

My gear was all purchased from Camera Action Camera House on Elizabeth Street. Drop in and ask the guys to give you a demo so you can find your ideal gear too.

Happy shooting!

Photokina 2008

Photokina 2008 is just around the corner.
The Photo Industry’s bi-annual trade-show, much anticipated by industry members, gets underway toward the end of September.
With the usually touted plethora of new releases, hot products and innovations, CameraAction will have our own man on the ground to sort it out. We’ll be reporting back daily with what’s hot and with what’s not.

Some of the promises.
I’m looking forward to the release of the Olympus Micro FourThirds range. We already know about the Nikon D90 and the Canon 5D? (mk III?, 7D?, Eclipse?, evolution?), new lens ranges, I’m sure Sony will take this opportunity to release a new MemoryStick with a new set of consonants for a name.

Photokina 2008 September 23 – 28, Klon Germany. (Yes, the home of 4711 Ice Cologne.)
