9800 orders and 20 cameras. Funny. My reseller is telling me that they will ship my camera by the end of August. They've been doing their fair share of expectation management too (partly my...

Re: footage from the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera

Yes, and its fairly harsh, overhead sunlight. You should be able to get some really nice shots with this camera when the sun is a little lower in the sky.

Re: M4/3 lenses for BMPCC

I'm going to wait until an EF to micro 4/3 speed booster actually exists before buying the BMPCC but that hasn't stopped me thinking about lens permutations. With the speed booster the Tokina 11-16...

Re: The Hobbit shooting in 48p on RED cameras

Re: New GoPro CineForm product line is out today.

I recently purchased Neo, do I need to do anything to get the free upgrade or is it just a case of uninstalling and installing GoPro Cineform Studio Premium?
