Here are some frame grabs from the JVC HMQ10 4K camera which is the first semi-pro 4K camera, that breaks under the ÂŁ4K mark. The frame size is 3840×2160 and it is the biggest step up in resolution yet seen for video standards. 4K makes the difference between 720p and 1080p seem minuscule!

UPDATE: Metabones inform me they have fixed the latest adapters with an anti-reflective part. If your adapter suffers from reflections, if yours has any of the issues below, simply contact Metabones and send your adapter back for a service As if the initial non-functioning firmware with the NEX 5N and NEX 7 wasn’t bad enough, it appears Metabones will have to completely re-design the recent EOS lens to E-Mount adapter.

This Japanese test is quite revealing. Rolling shutter is reduced by half.

Looks like someone didn’t get the memo! In the last few hours the first 90Mbit 1080p Quicktime file was made available from a pre-production 5D Mark III. The subject matter is mundane but finally we get to see what the true resolution of this camera is…
I was able to try out the 5D Mark III for myself today in the UK at the Focus On Imaging show. I also had a talk to one of Canon’s technicians about sensor downscaling, HDMI output and more. Is it truly the big improvement on the 5D Mark II for video everybody is hoping for? I also got my hands on a Nikon D800 and Fuji X Pro, more…
[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/37879608[/vimeo] Here is a shot from Japan which was shot with both the 5D Mark II and 5D Mark III (with beta firmware) by a camera reviewer. The cleanness and lack of noise is something quite remarkable. Are we in for a incredible low light treat – a truly ground breaking camera?
The maximum bitrate of the 5D Mark III in video mode has been revealed, and other breaking news…
