The latest news on cameras, from EOSHD
[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/63910035[/vimeo] First 1.50 minutes is sample footage, you can fast forward to 1.50 for the technical info Kickstart the HolyManta ND on FundedByMe This is something I’ve wanted for a long time! Focus and exposure are the most important things on a movie camera yet DSLRs don’t have a built in ND filter and you’re often left to shoot at ugly high shutter speeds such as 1/1000 in bright light to…
Super charged specs! 1-60fps 4K raw to DPX format 120fps 4K raw burst mode 240fps 2K raw continuous to Cinema DNG (would love to see the file sizes on that!!)

For the second NAB in succession Blackmagic are bulldozing down the image quality / price barrier for film production. 4K compressed raw, global shutter and Super 35mm was the unique preserve of Sony with the F55 until today, and that was a $36,000 camera. This is a $4000 one. Gone is that extra margin – unsettling stuff for the big guys. Here’s my own personal look at the cameras and the…
