Source: Trusted Reviews So far, so predictable. Like the Sony A7R the D810 will feature 1080/60p. And you may as well stop reading now! For all the claim to ‘go after video pros’ after the dramatic improvement we saw with the D800, the new D810 does the absolutely minimum to excite us. I really don’t see the point of buying one, especially with the A7S release next week! I do currently…

The latest news on cameras, from EOSHD
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m86ae_e_ptU[/youtube] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3RSoSnStNw[/youtube] I don’t know at what point OK Go’s music turned into New Order but I like the new direction almost as much as their choice of camera! Here’s the behind the scenes video of how OK Go made their latest video with the Panasonic GH4.
Blackmagic firmware Version 1.8 is set to be released for all cameras simultaneously. The good news is that the work to create a unified firmware seems to be done. This was the work which for so long was getting in the way of Blackmagic adding new features to their cameras (like histograms). From now on we could be seeing some more regular and more exciting updates.

[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/98747386[/vimeo] I’m working with two musicians, Hauptman & Friendly in Berlin. They are composing sound tracks for filmmakers which you can license for your own work and avoid the dreaded Copyright Match on Vimeo. Pricing will start at just $19.99. The cinematography reel I have edited above showcases some of my cinematography along with the score “Chains” written by Ofer Hauptman. This is in the early stages… I’d love to hear your…
Photo by EOSHD The relationship between record labels and the internet is in a tense state of affairs. On one hand large record companies such as EMI are suing Vimeo for copyright infringement, hence we have Copyright Match. YouTube on the other hand pays a minuscule royalty fee to record labels where uploaded content contains their music. YouTube plans to launch a new subscription based music service to rival Apple iTunes where content can be downloaded and played…
DXOMark have tested the raw sensor output of the GH4. Raw stills have 12.8 stop dynamic range vs 11.7 stops on the 5D Mark III, illustrating just how far ahead almost everyone is on sensor performance over Canon.
All the high ISO footage from the Sony A7S so far have been highly compressed and streamed on YouTube. Here we have not one but two stages of very aggressive noise reduction being applied to the images. If you want to see it without the heavy compression removing all trace of noise, here’s a full resolution JPEG shot at ISO 12,800 from the camera courtesy of DCFever… You can download…
