The Canon PowerShot V1 is in stock at B&H | Adorama | Amazon | Camera Canada
My son-in-law just launched a startup, Muddy Dog Snacks, featuring top 9 allergen-free, gluten-free, and artificial ingredient-free human treats, protein energy bars, to be more specific. Great taste is included (my grandson loves them).
Usually, online buyers want to see photos of the product they are purchasing, and I was handed the technical responsibility for that job (I know, shocking, but my price was unbeatable). Sam wanted complicated collages included in the mix, and lighting a complicated set can be challenging. Fortunately, the shooting day featured significant cloud cover that created a soft light in the sunroom, which is conveniently located near the kitchen where subject prep was happening.
To help contain the mess and provide a white background with a bit of reflected fill, a 20x20" cyclorama was placed on the floor. The 85mm focal length was optimum for the overhead shot because it provided a great perspective without the need for a ladder, and the relatively high camera position meant the tripod legs were wide at the floor level, which practically eliminated their shadow impact.
With the focal length selected, the lens choice was easy. The Canon RF 85mm F1.2 L USM Lens is the best available. It provided EOS R5 Mark II image quality good enough for the first billboard.
The Muddy Dog Sir CA Shepherd Cinnamon Apple Energy Bar collage is shown above, and the other 3 optoins are shown below:

PROGRADE DIGITAL™ ANNOUNCES CFEXPRESS TYPE A MOBILE READER FOR FILMMAKERS AND CONTENT CREATORS
Unlock The Full Potential Of Your iPhone™ 15 Or 16 And Capture 4K ProRes 120fps
San Jose, CA – April 3, 2025, 8:00 am —ProGrade Digital™, founded with a mission to provide the highest quality professional grade digital memory cards, solid state drives, hubs, and workflow solutions, announces its new PGM12 mobile card reader, a single-slot CFexpress Type A card reader. The PGM12 reader offers the same performance when transferring data as our full-size USB 3.2 Gen 2 readers, but is more portable due to its compact size.
The PGM12 is an essential tool for filmmakers and content creators who want to utilize the full potential of their mobile devices, particularly for the iPhone™ 15 and 16, especially when capturing 4K ProRes 120fps. With the flexibility to choose the card capacity that fits your creative demands, you’ll never have to worry about running out of space mid-shoot. Designed for versatility, the PGM12 features a patented magnetic base, metal mounting plates, and a flexible cable, providing multiple mounting options to seamlessly integrate with any rig setup. With its mounting versatility, you can also use a MagSafe™ charger, so your device doesn’t run out of battery while shooting. Designed to streamline your workflow, the PGM12 enables fast, direct transfers from your phone to laptops or other Type-C devices—helping you move quickly from capture to post, so you can stay focused on what matters most - creating.
“Our new PGM12, CFexpress Type A mobile card reader is designed to ensure content creators can reliably utilize the full capability of their iPhone 15 or 16 Pro/Pro Max, which requires external storage for up to 120 frames/second, ProRes video recording. Our customers can now record video onto low-power, CFexpress Type A memory cards, at the highest possible quality, and not have to worry about running out of storage space, that might be experienced with a fixed capacity storage device. As a key differentiator, the PGM12 reader is designed to utilize our patented magnetic base mounting system and is small enough to be affixed to an iPhone without impeding the use of MagSafe™ charging while recording”, said Wes Brewer, CEO and founder of ProGrade Digital. It is available now for pre-order and will be shipping at the end of April.
