85mm f/1.4 IS lens - real or fake?
There is a rumor that Canon will release an 85mm EOS lens with an f/1.4 aperture and Image stabilization.
[NOTE: This is a rumor only. Do not assume that it's true. But it's interesting food for...

Steadicam Docking Bracket - What's your story?
I just received my Steadicam Solo. Yay. (That $149 sale was too good to pass up.)
And I have light stands from a crummy, old Lowell piece to a really solid Matthews stand. (Plus I have music...

Re: Best Way to Show Old Photos and Articles
You can even get a plugin for Vegas that will automate the Ken Burns effect. It's really quick if you do that and then adjust things manually to optimize it.
Regarding photo motion, think about...

Re: New Panasonic GH5 Official
The noise on 10-bits could be occurring when feeding an 8-bit monitor. The bits get cut off, rather than dithered and rounded and you get some grit.
It would be interesting to run the same 8-bit...

Re: Canon 77d, t7i, m series 2017
Canon takes their time. A year or two after the 5D2 was released, I asked the Canon reps at NAB why they don't put a DSLR sensor in a true camcorder body. They didn't have an answer.
Fast forward...

Re: Logic Pro X Alternative for Windows
Regarding ACID, it's great for loops and samples, but the last time I tried it with MIDI, it was not an acceptable solution. I use Sonar for MIDI projects.

Re: Logic Pro X Alternative for Windows
Sonar and Cubase are the two audio programs that come to mind. Plus Vegas, which is known for video, but initially there were Vegas Video and Vegas Audio projects and they merged.
I've used Sonar,...

Just got an XA30 for my wife's church. We chose it for the 20x zoom, canon colors, and the sweet spot in the prosumer market.
I haven't had much time to play with it, but it looks surprisingly...

Re: What camera for studio band work?
FWIW, it looks like you can get an EOS-M with the 22mm f/2 lens for about $200 used. You can get a Fotodiox EF to EOS-M adapter for $40. Add the 50/1.8 lens for about $100 and you've got a nice setup...

Re: What camera for studio band work?
I'd go with a Canon. As far as the model, I'm not sure. It depends on which models have fallen below $500 in good condition on the used market.
An important note: the 50mm lens will be tight if...

Re: Canon 5D M IV - any good news
Great review, Benjamin.
As I recall, the 5D4 doesn't output 4K over HDMI. I wonder how a 4K setup downscaled to HD over HDMI would look? That would deliver all the cropped pixels to the video...
