“My favourite lens today was definitely the Canon 7–14mm. Sitting above the proximity wall, I’d use that every time for action sports.”

“This is the fastest turnaround we’ve ever had. We shot Wednesday and have to be live by Saturday morning. The workflow straight out of the Canon cameras is really user friendly. Because all the cameras are shooting the same codec, we can ingest and start working straight away - no transcoding.”

“I personally feel the Canon lenses are the best around. We’ve been using them for 10 or 12 years - they’re bulletproof. The images are just always beautiful. The colour science out of the new Canon cameras is epic, especially when you pair them with the cine lenses.”
