Re: Sony launches PXW-Z100 4K Handheld XDCAM
I think the buyers will take engaging material over camera specs any day, and i think it's misleading to claim otherwise. The fact is, there is a vast amount of good doco material in circulation shot...

Re: Sony unveils the EX3 successor: PMW-300
Reading these comments i'm reminded of a situation i found myself in 2 years ago. I was helping out a guy editing a doco he'd made about rappers in London. Most of the rushes were shot on the EX3,...

Re: New Panasonic Varicam
I'm sure it's a nice camera, but where are Panasonic going elsewhere?
I remember when Panasonic was the company to watch, but here goes another NAB with Canon, Sony and to a lesser extent JVC,...

Re: Pre-NAB 4K+ Roundup
Nah! Panasonic must be on the verge of some major new announcements. It's inconceivable that they're throwing in the towel to Sony and Canon. I was surprised how quiet they were at NAB last year and...

Re: Pre-NAB 4K+ Roundup
What's going on with Panasonic? It seems like the rest of the brands have left them standing. I bought a GH3 recently and would like to see the af100 replaced with a decent codec since i'll...

Re: What cameras did the Sundance entries use?
Well it's a nice idea Shaun, but in my experience there are a lot of "something for nothing" merchants out there. I remember editing a short for a guy and putting serious hours in. It didn't occur to...

Re: UK still has 13,000 B & W televisions
I was watching The Wizard of Oz at my mate's house at Christmas. I couldn't believe it when Dorothy left Kansas and went all technicolor. Toto will never be the same again. Happy New Year.

Re: 5D Mk ii to GH3. Good idea?

There are still some clear benefits to making the change IMO.

Re: 5D Mk ii to GH3. Good idea?
So nobody here - for now at least - wants to put forward a persuasive argument for moving to the GH3 over the 5d mkii. I'm surprised at that to be honest, and expected to be inundated with reasons...

Re: 5D Mk ii to GH3. Good idea?

5D Mk ii to GH3. Good idea?
Thinking of trading in my 5D for the new Panny GH3. As much as i like the Canon, i've always felt it was primarily a stills camera, while the GH3 seems to be a bit more video friendly. I particularly...

We're making Triumph motorcycles here in the UK now. Or assembling them at least. Triumph employ about 1000 people in Thailand, and some 500 here. That's probably a workable business model to extend...

Re: Canon EOS C100

Hugely impressive piece of work. At times the shallow DOF is a bit much for me, as i'm not sure what i'm supposed to be focussing on, and would rather see more of the image sharply. Even...

Re: Canon EOS C100
Then clearly you're someone who needs the additional "box on the back" of the C100. But if i was doing higher end stuff, i'd probably get the 300 version anyway. My general point though, is that this...

Re: Canon EOS C100
It's interesting to note what for many are considered this camera's shortcomings. 50 mb/s is desirable for other reasons, but grading would be low on my list.
How much grading do people really...

Also, stripped down, it will still look...

That's a great price Andy. This camera looks like a real bargain, and yet the whinging goes on. Sigh!

Re: Canon 6D Announced - Full Frame
To be fair "the competition is filling the void" precisely because Canon has already "pushed the envelope", even if they hadn't intended to. Also, the C100 looks to be a formidable camera for those...
