Rare Scythe Butterflyfish video with the Canon G7X
Jun 30
Took the Canon G7X out for a spin in the new Fantasea housing. It performed great, though I was once again reminded to always take a test shot, especially when borrowing gear, as it may not work 100%. Since I forgot to do my test, I ended up on the first dive with a camera flash that would not pop up fully and was rendered inoperable. However to make the best of the situation I enjoyed shooting...

The highlight of the camera is the hybrid autofocus used during Live View shooting, which along with the Canon 70D, is miles from the nearest DSLR or mirrorless competitor. This new AI Servo autofocus allows the camera to quickly lock...

Mar 03
Olympus created the M. Zuiko 12-50mm lens a few years back, which has been super popular for underwater photography. This lens features a built in macro mode and two zoom mode options (manual and electronic). For underwater photographers it was a first, basically two lenses in one, which allows shooters to have a nice mid-range zoom lens and a great macro lens built into one! Paired with the high...
