US Army Combat Camera - Tools and Tech on the ground in Iraq and Afganistan

Matt Jeppsen | 12/27

A podcast discussion on the transition to HD and why they are considering DSLR convergence cameras

The US Army’s Combat Camera division is responsible for documenting operations in Iraq and Afganistan with photos and video for internal, news, and historical use. In this hour-long podcast with 3rd Platoon Leader Tyler Ginter, we discuss the tools they are using in the field, the challenges of their unique workflow, and specifically why they are looking hard at the Canon 5D MKII as a possible upgrade to their current kit. Along the way we also delve into Red Scarlet, and other convergence cameras. It’s a fascinating discussion, and we think you’ll enjoy the listen if you are interested in this new crop of cameras or just what it is that Combat Camera does.
