Canon EOS 5D Mark III Experiencing "Light Leak" Issue

Just after the beastly Canon EOS 5D Mark III (3) was announced, consumers have been reporting that the Mark III’s top-mounted LCD display would leak light into the camera’s body, reach the Auto Exposure sensor, and affect auto-exposure settings. Canon has indeed confirmed that there is a problem with the hardware. Once a solution is found, more information will be posted on its Website, Canon went on to say. The multi-billion Dollar company said in their own words: 

In extremely dark environments, if the LCD panel illuminates, the displayed exposure value may change as a result of the AE sensor’s detection of light from the LCD panel.

At the moment, there is no word on how wide-spread the problem is. 

PetaPixel also reports that some folks have experienced the phenomenon when ambient light beams down on the panel as well.

The $3,500 Canon EOS Mark III (3) is a 22.3 megapixel machine equipped with a full-frame CMOS sensor, a max ISO of 102,400 and the ability to record up to 29 minutes and 59 seconds consecutively. Signs point to this being a pretty significant hardware oversight. If that’s the case, Canon sure has a PR nightmare on its hands.

Do you have a Mark III experiencing this problem? Please explain by leaving a comment down below.

Black Vs. White iPad?

As you all know, I am purchasing myself a New iPad next month, but, I don't know what colour I should pick. I was speaking with David Di Franco (YouTube: thecreativeone, Twitter: @DavidDiFranco) and Bob Roche (YouTube: cpukid00, Twitter: @cpukid) about the White iPad and they delivered their opinions. I probably will just go with the Black model. But only time will tell. 

(Shout-out to David and Bob).

Likes and Dislikes: The New iPad

Some of you are very happy about the new features that have come to The New iPad, but others are not. Many have complained saying "Apple has only added a high resolution display and everyone thinks it is revolutionary." Which is not true in the slightest. Think of it this way, the resolution of your HD TV is 1920x1080 PPI (Pixels Per Inch), the resolution of The New iPad is 2048x1536 PPI. This is defiantly revolutionary, or as Apple says "Resolutionary." In this article I am going to go over what I like and dislike about The New iPad. 

Like:

• Retina Display
• Apple A5X Duel Core Chip with Quad Core Graphics
• Design
• Weight
• iOS User Interface
• 5MP Auto Focus Camera with Face Detection 
• Dictation 
• Colour Options 
• Storage Capacity 
• 4G Capabilities
• 10 Hour Battery Life

Dislike: 

• Front Facing Camera is still VGA Quality 
• It is SLIGHTLY heavier (although this doesn't really bother me) 
• The White iPad is a little distracting 
• Still no flash to accommodate the Camera 
• The storage capacities have stayed the same 

With that over with, you might be asking if I will purchase myself a New iPad? The answer is yes! I will purchase the 32GB Wifi+4G Model in Black. I can't wait to get my hands on it! (That's what she said).
