Nikon D90 vs Canon 550D Durability Test (Part 1)*
30
Sep
People always question how tough the more basic level DSLRs are and treat them like delicate objects. But are they really tough enough to take the abuse that one might give it during daily life? Does a magnesium alloy body mean everything when it comes to “tough bodies”? We take these two DSLRs and put them through some extreme tests that you might possibly be able to relate to during your daily lives. Watch the video to see if they survive these rigorous tests. *As it turned out, the budget of this video was limited, so a 400D was used and Kai’s own Nikon D70.

Shooting in the Snow
29
Sep
For years now, I’ve had this concept of a shoot at night, under the streetlamps with snow coming down… dramatic light and environment… the whole nine yards
Unfortunately I live in Philly, and the only “snow” we get here is usually slush, rain, and more slush…
Course this week was different… practically couldn’t have asked for better conditions. It was coming down pretty hard, and I think I put the weather sealing on my gear to the test (watching piles of snow accumulate on your lights is a little disconcerting…) By the time we finished my camera bag on the ground was merely a small white lump. Luckily no gear casualties though, and some great shots came out…

Nikon D60 verses Canon Rebel XS/ Canon EOS 1000d

Sep
Nikon D60 verses the Canon Rebel XS (Canon EOS 1000d). 10 points to compare and contrast the user-friendliness of each. This video looks at the differences in: -changing the settings -flash exp. comp. -WB icons -quietness of camera -focal points -exposure compensation -holds in hand -deleting photos -f-number changes -live view There are more differences that I preferred in either the Canon or Nikon. This is the top 10, with 5 pros for the Canon and 5 for the Nikon. EDIT: Thanks to “joshthegreat666 ” for pointing out a confusing point in my video. Yes, exposure compensation can be changed in manual in both cameras, naturally. When I made this video, I was new to SLRs. The Nikon was obvious on how to use this feature and with the Canon it was a ‘hidden feature’, as I call it. One has to press the shutter button down halfway and than it is possible to see this.

Nikon D300 GPS feature walk through

Sep
A demonstration of how the GPS interface works and what to expect. The built-in GPS interface requires the GPS receiver to be set to protocol NEMA IN NEMA OUT. It may require you to purchase two cables. The serial cable for your GPS and the GPS cable for your Camera. The Nikon MC-35 has a male 9 pin serial interface. The company I mention at the end of the video is JOBO.

Sep
it take about 4 month. using 3dmax9, combustion.,fumeFX for my collage’s summer animation show. i hope to make it like RPG game with humorous. and rendered it like toy or doll thing. infact, it was planned took 2 month more. but because of visiting Fiji, i just had very short time. it was very tight work. and i always found that preproduction is one of the most important part of making animaton and it’s what i always dont care too. ;( anyway, hope you enjoy it. thx
My next personnal project. It took me approximatly 5 weeks for the whole thing, done inbetween jobs at work. The story is a little vague as I basically made it up as I went along. For some reason the audio fades towards the end which isn’t on the original, I’m gonna update with a newer version soon. Software used: 3DSmax9, Photoshop, Adobe Premiere
