A larger one encompassing more cameras (GH3, D5200, 5D Mark III, Blackmagic Pocket Camera) and scenes will be on EOSHD during the coming week. The Sony RX10 appears to play in the same ballpark as the Sony FS100. Is this the new budget king for semi-pro videographers?

View 10 frames from a rehearsal shoot with Bunny Suit, a Berlin based band I’m currently working with on a music video Disclosure: I have worked closely with SLR Magic in refining the flare and have a close relationship with SLR Magic, but I am approaching the lens objectively in my articles.

With the GH3 now occupying a higher position in the line, the G6 has moved up to occupy the position once taken by our much loved GH2.
