Comment on the forum When I began shooting with my own Leica SL2 earlier this year, I found a lot to like about the high-spec mirrorless camera for filmmaking, and of course the SL2 is superb for photography. However, the battery power management has prevented shooting in 4K and 5K reliably, varying depending on the type of lenses used. After making Leica aware of this issue, Leica’s Head of Product…

Comment on the forum This will be a short introduction before I get down to shooting with the beasts you see above. On the left we have the Leica SL2, which features a 5K anamorphic mode (4:3 aspect ratio) that records in 10bit LOG format. On the right we have the Fujifilm GFX 100 which is my first medium format camera that has been useful for cinema. However one ingredient…
Comment on the EOSHD Forum Anamorphic lens users and fans of 10bit might want to look very closely at their Panasonic S1 menus, and even the manual on page 143.

According to Imaging Resource the new video mode of the new Sony RX10 with 1″ sensor is a big step forwards. The RX10’s sensor reads out the entire 5472 x 3080 frame at 60fps sending the maximum amount of raw video data to the image processor. The new Bionz X processor is designed to take the 5K video stream (for the first time). The advantage is that Bionz X can intelligently downsample and…
Above: the Epic with anamorphic lens In the second and final part of this mini-shootout with the Epic and Blackmagic Cinema Camera, we take a look at the resolution chart.

It really is a great idea – he has used the stills burst mode (the fastest ever on a DSLR) of the Canon 1D X to piece together a short video at 14 fps. The video has the dynamic range, resolution and overall quality of photographs. It is a massive step up from the video mode but of course 14 fps is shall…
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?
