[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/85773475[/vimeo] Featuring original music by HERDWHITE –  “I Already Know What For”. The E-M1 is a real surprise for a video. For this review I decided to set myself a challenge with a musician friend, where we’d shoot a music video ‘Dogme 95’ style. Entirely handheld with the Olympus 5 axis…

Above: A7R with the new SLR Magic “Anamorphot 50” anamorphic lens Micro Four Thirds vs full frame. America has answered this question pretty resoundingly – mirrorless sales are apparently down 47%. I don’t think this will be a lasting trend because mirrorless is moving forwards in terms of image quality…
Can Olympus survive? The scandal is over, but sales are faltering. Their prized position in the mirrorless market is threatened by a revitalised Sony and their Alpha range. This supersedes the high end of the NEX line (and dispenses with the NEX brand altogether); bringing full frame sensors to the…
Beware! This review is LONG! Have ten cups of coffee at the ready, or print it out and give it as a (late) Christmas present to someone you don’t like. The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera is already good, we’ve established that much. But what’s really making this a unique camera what…

Metabones and Caldwell Optics have given us a Zeiss / Kubrick / NASA special! These adapters are completely new and purpose designed to fit only the Blackmagic…

Cadid footage of JFK on the election trail. French New Wave cinema in the 80’s. The run & gun simplicity…

The MINI is a smaller cut down version of their S35, shooting 2K uncompressed raw to SSD from a Super 35mm sensor. It has an option for 4K to…
