  1. [quote author=ed_lee83 link=topic=956.msg7013#msg7013 date=1341848180] OK wow! Interesting cooling techniques. The 1,500 pound kit also includes the anamorphic adapter? Richard, how about an external power solution? What's the longest recording tally before it overheats? thanks and good work!! [/quote] I really like the way he's used that filter holder on the Century anamorphic. Great for slotting in NDs?
  2. [quote author=Another Andrew link=topic=956.msg7010#msg7010 date=1341847656] £15,000 is a bit steep... Think I'll stick to the C300! [/quote] Sorry must have got the pricing the same way Canon did... Typo with an extra zero. Corrected!

And here it is. Richard tells EOSHD more about the housing after the break – how it improves the NEX 5N and how he intends to price it.

  5. A lens actually designed for creamy bokeh, nice find. Thanks for pointing that out. 135mm F2.8 is one of my favourite looking lenses on full frame. Looks like 85mm F1.4 on the GH2 which I use a lot.
  6. Well done to those who got it  ;) PS it is not a GH2 or GH3

[/quote] Sorry Andrew, no offense here, I know you aren't. I am and I have enough friends in Berlin who would have the ambitions & skills to create a very convincing mockup they would gladly loan you.  But as far as I know no one lives in this city who made 2 billion $ selling sunglasses and now has the funding & manufacturing skills to produce cinema cameras. Still very excited to see who things turn out tomorrow . . .and yes, great site! [/quote] No offence at being called a German  :P Don't mention the sunglasses salesman. It gives me nightmares.
  8. Magic Lantern is a fantastic project. However it does not improve image quality.
  9. I wasn't that impressed with the D3200 because the aliasing and moire is pretty extreme. Certainly nowhere near as good an image as the GH2 for the same price. Thanks for sharing the videos though.

  11. Thanks. Just small point - I like detail not sharpness. Very different things!  8)

  13. [quote author=blindriver link=topic=951.msg6948#msg6948 date=1341781387] It does look pretty professional, but it indeed seems unlikely that a major manufacturer would give a prototype to EOSHD of all places[/quote] Why?
  14. Actually maybe that is a bit unfair. [b]Canon[/b] - Added very low quality crop mode on 600D. Then took it away for 650D - Added a hinge to their low end cameras, but not the 5D Mark III - Added a stereo mic and AF for the first time on 650D after [b]3 years[/b] - Added modern AF motors to STM lenses this year... Although it is not silent or internally focussing, so useless - Cancelled funding of London's Converge Festival in 2010. Dito Gear and Zacuto stepped into save it. Sadly no longer with us - Closed down Canon Filmmakers dot com - Tried to close down EOSHD dot com - Want DSLR video enthusiasts to stump up an extra $11,500 for increase in image quality - Refuse to join mirrorless party. Proposed system based on very old sensor technology, dated by 3 years and available already in G1x - Zero EVF tech on consumer cameras - Added manual audio control to 7D firmware, after [b]2 years[/b] - Seem incapable of upgrading APS-C sensor technology within 3 years - Milking 1 sensor for 4 cameras - On the 5th one, adds phase detect pixels yet AF still crap in live view - I could go on...
  15. Regards crippling let's look at the recent history of Sony and Nikon. And compare it to Canon, ok? [b]Sony[/b] - Added manual control in video mode - First (and only) to add 1080/60p - First to develop a serious mirrorless (mirrorless remember is the future of all cameras) - Listened to filmmakers and added 24p mode to NEX series - Listened to pros and added ND + slow mo to FS series - Best EVF technology in entire industry.... And it is on consumer hardware - Best AVCHD implementation on the planet... You see how far into the lows you can go on NEX 7 and FS100. Best encoder on any consumer camera - Nice articulated screens Not bad for 2 years progress. Next... [b]Nikon[/b] - Developed clean HDMI 4-2-2 on D800 - Manual control in video mode all the way down to el cheapo D3200 - DX crop mode and 1:1 crop on the high end DSLRs - Big improvement on actual resolution with D800 in 1080p - Look at overall functionality and image quality improvement from D90 which dates from 5D Mark II era. Huge! - Have overtook Canon with the D800's video mode and image quality [b]Canon[/b] Erm! Fixed moire.
  16. DVD players are standard definition. Cannot be done.
  17. [html][img]http://www.eoshd.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/sony-a99.jpg[/img] Some interesting Sony A99 video specs have been put into the wild from a prototype model. Sony’s new full frame DSLR features 1080p video in 24p and 60p – the first full frame DSLR to have the higher frame rate, which is very welcome for slow motion. Interestingly this DSLR is also able to record stills without interrupting video. A dual readout like that has only previously been seen on compact cameras which can output the entire sensor at up to 30fps. Could the Sony A99 have an electronic shutter mode?

  19. If you can, wait for the new full frame cameras due in September. Lower priced (Nikon D600) and more advanced (Sony A99 with 1080/60p)
  20. Nice lenses. Just downloaded the clips. Seriously impressed. Do you mind if I have a go at grading them and uploading them to Vimeo? Then I can embed in the blog rather than link to hosted raw files which download rather slowly. Great work Dan!

  22. Great post Dan. I will promote this to an article.
  23. Thanks everyone. There will not be a drastic change to design, and it will be a simple formula. Just less cluttered and more attractive. I agree keeping the forum flat is a good idea, no sub-parts where stuff tends to get lost. I do however think some kind of 'most popular posts' or 'recent posts' box in a side bar would be helpful for the main view, as being presented with 25 lines of topics is information overload. Sometimes you just want to see "what's new" at a glance. Vitaliy Kiselev is also one that claims a flat view with no sub-sections is best. He claims to have done a lot of research into this. When it comes to technical / info stuff I'd tend to believe him on that :)
