Also, Canon released a new point and shoot camera with a rather surprising set of video features.

124: Finding a Client Photo Editing Workflow

We explore ideas for editing client photos in Lightroom without combining those photos into our personal photo libraries. And to make things more challenging, Lucas wants to use his iPad (of course). Also, a recent event shoot gave us a chance to try out some new filming setups, including the Lumix S9 as a gimbal camera.

122: New Gear Day: Lumix S9 and Fuji 16-55

After an unexpectedly successful trip to the camera store, we’ve both got some new gear to talk about. Daniel ended up far deeper into L Mount than he ever imagined possible, and Lucas finally upgraded his standard zoom to the new Fuji 16-55 II.
