Welcome to podcast #76 of The Fotobug. Chris Klapheke returns to co-host with Jim and Fred. Chris just moved Outdoor Photo Gear (www.outdoorphotogear.com) into a new bulding complete with classroom space and shows off the new facilities to our viewers. In addition, Chris talks about some of the new products including camera bags, a new Canon flash unit, new Hoodman mounts and the Three-Legged Thing Tripods.
In the news, Fred, Chris and Jim discuss the new $995 2.5k video camera from BlackMagic which features a micro four-thirds lens mount and RGBDng Raw format 2.5k video capture with a super 16mm sized sensor. Also, the Metabones micro four-thirds lens adapter to allow the use of Canon lenses has been delayed until after July.
Please go and check our our new webpage at The Fotobug.net - we feature the video that Chris mentions captured with the new Google hyperlapse program. There are a lot of interesting videos there and we encourage you to subscribe so you don't miss any videos or blog posts.
Finally, Chris sent Fred and Jim his new beanbags to try out and The Fotobug will soon post a review on these new beanbags!
On the next podcast we are going to feature a discussion with photographer Jim Swallow on the shrinking role of the professional photographer. Is professional photography still a viable career option?
