Click here for details of the EOSHD Anamorphic Shooter’s Guide – 2nd Edition It’s been just over 6 months now since the launch of my first book about anamorphic shooting on DSLRs and in that time almost 1000 people have bought it – so first of all a big thank you to those that chose to adventure with me into anamorphic. Since the book is still popular I’ve decided to…

(Click the ISO 12,800 sample image above to enlarge to 1:1). Original samples from http://www.imaging-resource.com Will Sony’s decision to put 24MP in the NEX 7 and A77 backfire? It certainly seems so. The mid-range 16MP NEX 5N has by far the better image quality at high ISOs despite being half the price. It’s the Fuji F31fd of DSLRs!
The full frame sensor and 5K are the biggest technical innovations of the current era of digital video, but which makes the biggest difference to the image? Should we all be upgrading to 5K and clamouring for 4K on our APS-C DSLRs? Or will a modestly upgraded full frame 5D Mark III 1080p video mode be more significant for the image?
Click here for my post at Converge 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!
ABOVE: Lumix GH2 team members at Panasonic With the 5D Mark 3 expected to have 30+ Megapixels, we are seeing video DSLRs severely compromised by densely packed sensors with poor light gathering abilities. Even camera phones are racing upward with 14Mp on a tiny sensor producing terrible results.
The Sony F3 will have a dedicated Super 35 video sensor with huge pixels – can DSLRs compete? With news from Sony that the F3 has a built anew Exmor Super 35 2k sensor unrelated to DSLRs comes an interesting dilemma for DSLR users. I’ve been doing some research into the pixel sizes (and light gathering ability) of the leading video DSLRs.
Buy on eBay from London based Cinematographer, big version (ex-BBC stock) A few months back I said to Steve Weiss in an email, come up with an anamorphic version of the Z-Finder so we could have a true 2.35:1 screen in our eye while shooting. Well it turns out there is already such a product and it was made by Century for the BBC. Zacuto and others are not yet…
