  1.   Great pics.   Do you have any more on this story?   Source I believe was a stunt extra on Iron Man 2. If he is involved with Mad Max it is likely to be as a stuntman or stunt coordinator.   This rumour is one of his best stunts yet though ;)
  2.   He's not the beta tester.   He just knows the people doing the testing on an unspecified production he's involved with.   Throughout this the source has not asked us to link to him on twitter or his production company website. So what's he got to gain from lying?   43rumors has seen a photo of the firmware with the 3840x2160 resolution options, etc. but the source isn't allowing them to publish it.
  3.   Thanks Kirk.   Vimeo embed by pasting the URL into the post worked for me on your video   '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>   Anyone else having issues? I will have to look further into it.   Cheers
  4. The strange saga of 4K on the Olympus E-M1 continues! Both myself and 43Rumors have independently received proof the 4K firmware update actually exists, despite other sources claiming it doesn't. Read the full article here
  5. Creativity and ideas is hardly 'buried' when it is one click away form the front page of the forum. I have compressed the top of the forum into less space and reduced the size of the top banner.   As for the forum theme looking the same as the old one when you are logged in... please post a screen grab. This would count as a bug.
  6.   What does it look like when not logged in for you? Details please.
  7.   Yep, it's responsive so layout changes depending on screen size. On mobile it should be like using an iPhone app. No need to zoom in on a large webpage. Just the headlines and images to scroll through and large text.
  8. Delayed till next Monday now.   Lots of new stuff coming ahead of Photokina. I've had to focus on the new design a LOT so content has slowed.
  9. Again and again the comment about white text on black background has come up, people do seem to prefer black text on a white background.   So I have changed it.   I'd like to hear feedback on this point, it's really key... If you liked the previous style better let me know. But if the white style looks as smart, I'm happy to keep it if it saves eyes!
  10. And if anyone has any problems logging into the forum please contact me here :)   http://www.eoshd.com/contact/
  11. With the camera, the iPhone 6 has taken a pretty reasonable step forward. Although resolution remains the same at 8MP the sensor is brand new. On the video side 1080/60p and 240fps round out an impressive spec along with optical image stabilisation. Read the full article here
  12. EOSHD has a fresh look to both the blog and forum. Both are now responsive layouts with the latest source code and web technology. Now EOSHD comes to you faster and easier to use than ever before. More features will be added in the coming days and one I am especially looking forward to rolling out is EOSHD Soundtrack Compositions. This is the start of a long project but right out of the blocks I am impressed with the quality of music we'll be providing to filmmakers through it. So this is a new era for EOSHD and a new site design, please do let me know what you think of it on the forum and I will answer any questions you have about the new layout there. If you spot anything you think isn't working properly or could do with tidying up, do let me know! What's next this week on EOSHD 1. The final conclusion and part 2 of my Sony A7S review is almost done so look out for it. 2. I have been shooting with the Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG HSM ART lens and it is very interesting to compare the performance to my Cooke S4i Mini 50mm T2.8 PL mount cinema lens. One is a $999 photographic lens and one a $8000 cinema lens. The mighty Sigma will also go up against the lenses I love because of character first and foremost rather than outright performance - the Canon 50mm F1.2L and Leica-R Summilux 50mm F1.4. What's the best high end 50 you can get? Find out soon on EOSHD. 3. Photokina 2014 preview, ahead of the show the following week. Every year the largest consumer photographic show comes round and I'll be in Cologne, Germany from the 16th to cover the show first hand and see what's new. There's plenty of video related action at Photokina (the last one saw the debut of the GH3). Canon have all their Cinema EOS offerings at the show. Will there be anything new from them? Sony will certainly have their new F series cinema camera at the show and I can't way to try it out. I'll be interviewing Sony's Bill Drummond at the show about their Alpha stills cameras, such as the A7S. Lot's to look forward to and do come along and say hello! 4. SLR Magic 10mm T2.1 review. What's the latest wide angle for Micro Four Thirds like? My full review is in the works and will be ready soon. 5. Metabones Speed Booster ULTRA and Micro Four Thirds EF Speed Booster reviews. And finally... Thanks for reading EOSHD and for just being interested! By being passionate and interested in what we love to do over the long term, we improve the quality of what we do. It is a very interesting time to be a filmmaker in terms of the cameras and if there's any direction you'd prefer to see EOSHD move towards in the coming months do have your say on the forum.

  13. 24.3MP is the exact same megapixel count as the sensor in the D610, which can't do 4K video and does video with terrible line-skipping so I don't hold out much hope. It's rare for an updated sensor to have the same megapixel count right down to the decimal point.   Also same sensor as Sony A99, RX1, etc.   Essentially I am expecting the D750 to be a D610 with a price bump and some extra marketing bullshit applied.
  14. Really nice video as always :) Loved the music too, Trentemøller are playing in Berlin tomorrow, might go and take a listen.
  15. Hmm, very non-committal.   To drive more hits I'll say the D750 definitely has 4K recording.... Oh and by the way I'm not sure.
  16. Your graph shows a long term product life cycle. What we are dealing with here is a sudden, disruptive technological change. DSLR sales had been increasing for around 10 years straight! Only in the last 2 years they have fallen back dramatically.   That isn't a controlled decline due to a mature product line as your graph and theory says. To me that looks like a sudden and uncontrolled decline due to a complete lack of fresh and relevant products to ship to new customers...
  17. All my research into this topic is here:   http://www.eoshd.com/eoshd-shooters-guide-sony-a7-a7r-lenses
  18. Damphouse, do feel free to explain why mirrorless shipments have remained steady whilst DSLR shipments have halved in 2 years. Clue... it's nothing to do with the product life cycle stages. It has all happened relatively recently in a matter of months not over the long term.
  19. The least they can do is stay on the topic then. Saying they have a problem with opinion, conjecture or speculation as if they are a bad thing, is unacceptable and wrong.
