Pearstone has released a wall charger for the NP-BX1 batteries so you no longer have to charge them in camera:

Or there is a Pearstone Duo table top charger that can do two at once:

Or if you already have a Duo, you can just buy the battery plates:

And Sony is also releasing their own wall charger/spare battery kit, although at a higher price:

I already have the Pearstone Duo charger for my LP-E6 batteries, so i'll just be buying the plates. The Duo is a great charger by the way. I love mine, and it is a little quicker than the Canon charger.

Lenses / If you could only have 2 lenses for a wedding...

« on: October 04, 2012, 04:13:39 PM »

My friend is getting married on the 13th. He's having a girl with an entry level crop body do some photographs. I'm also going to be helping out. I'm interested in switching to Canon, so I figured it would be a good time to try out a body before purchasing. As I'm not the Primary photographer, there's isn't any pressure. I've used a Nikon D300s, D80, and D70 in the past.

I'm going to be renting a 5D Mark III, BG-E11, and a 600EX-RT.
The church is fairly big and well lit, so I was thinking of using a 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS for the ceremony, and a 35mm f/1.4L L for the reception.

The last reception I did, I used a 17-50 f/2.8 and I was wishing it was faster. I was thinking a 35mm on a full frame should be sufficiently wide.

Any suggestions or recommendations?

Software & Accessories / No 5D Mark III Support in LR4?

« on: March 06, 2012, 06:47:21 PM »

I noticed the 1DX, D4, and D800/E on the list of supported cameras in the new Lightroom 4. However, the 5D MkIII was left out. I guess we'll be waiting 3 months for the next update. IMO they should release a minor update immediately when there is a major camera release. I'm sure they are granted pre-production models to use for software development. Most of my post processing is done in Lightroom, and it's a big inconvenience to have to wait 2 months before I can import RAW files directly (Assuming the 5D ships at the end of March).
