Re: What's up?
Hardly - these are helmet cams, crash cams, etc. The priorities start with size and build quality/ruggedness first, then image quality, frame rate, data rate, battery life, interface/functionality,...

Re: RIP 17" MacBook Pro
Actually this isn't entirely true. Yes, the base resolution is treated as 1440x900 - but this is a user-configurable setting. It doesn't look like you can set it to use the native 2880x1800, but you...

Re: Canon T4I
DP Review has a pretty detailed rundown of the camera including close-ups of all the connection options - there's no mention of a headphone jack and none is visible in any of the photos, so I think...

Re: Canon T4I
I agree, but there was also a test floating around here somewhere which looked just at the changing noise levels at each ISO. It steadily increased until 1250 and then suddenly the noise all but...

Re: Canon T4I
I also wonder about the noise reduction - that seems to be the key to the 5DmkIII's high-iso performance, but I wouldn't be surprised if they limited it to differentiate the video performance between...

Re: The Hobbit shooting in 48p on RED cameras
The problem is we've all been watching higher frame rate work now for decades on television, so this is nothing new - and yet we've willingly continued to 'put up with strobing images' in theatrical...

Generally no - you seem to have the fair use criteria slightly backwards. It generally only applies when you are criticizing or satirizing the copyrighted work you are using - using a clip to...

Re: New! Blackmagic 2.5K Raw cinema camera!
470gb only gets you five hours with ProRes/DNxHD. For the full 2.5k raw you're only looking at about an hour in the same space!
120gb SSDs are available right now at newegg for $99, that gets you...

Re: New! Blackmagic 2.5K Raw cinema camera!
I guess it depends on how you define 'value for the money'. They are both certainly cheaper, but you're getting significantly better quality just in terms of the compression options. You also get...

Re: Is this Sony's power zoom?
I think you might be right about the black one, can't imagine what else the lower box element would be for. And while the kit lens for the FS100 wasn't very good, you can clearly see the red ring on...

Re: Native ISO 5D3
One possibility is that noise reduction settings have a different effect on video than on stills. On the mkII they had no effect on video, it could be that on the mkIII there is always some level of...

Re: White balance problem 5D MKII
Enable the RGB histogram and use that to expose when you take your white balance shot - make sure none of the channels are clipping on the right. My guess is that one channel is clipping in your shot...

Re: Native ISO 5D3
Interesting. I notice in the manual it mentions that some noise reduction is always applied at all ISO settings, but that wouldn't explain the complete drop off of fine noise at 1250 unless the...
