I keep hearing squeaks from an industry creaking under the weight of heavy professional gear, proclaiming that DSLRs will never last and that people will all move onto heavy and expensive digital cinema cameras. Rubbish!

This is important for artists and journalists.
I talk about breaking away from industry dogma – using Dan Chung’s cameraman guest blogger from Sky News to illustrate my point. He recorded militants on foot in the Burmese jungle on a 5D Mark II and later delivered to Sky the first and only HD coverage of volatile political events in the region – the release of pro-democracy supporter Aung Sang Su Kyi.
