12Apr Sit down talk with the guys from Next Wave DV
Ian and I had a chance to sit down with Tony and Sean from Next Wave DV yesterday morning. It was a bit informal but we had a pretty good time. I might have been off on a few things, i.e. 2.7k on the gopro not 2.5k and 32,000 iso is 8 stops not 10, […]
09Apr First look at the Panasonic GH4k – Hands on
Panasonic was kind enough to let us play around with the Panasonic GH4 and film at their booth. Not a whole lot has changed in terms of shape and design with the GH4. The body feels very similar to the GH3 I was playing around with last week. Up close the screen looked pretty nice […]
08Apr Sony a7s high ISO testing up to 80,000 – I’m in love
I mentioned last night that I was very impressed with the Sony a7s low light performance. But sometimes you really have to see it to believe it. Sony was kind enough to let me hang out at their booth and shoot these high ISO tests. They wouldn’t let me use a memory card in the […]
08Apr Que Audio Q 210 Hybrid Boom mic audio kit
Just announced by Que Audio is the Q210 Hybrid boom mic audio kit. We used the audio directly from the Q 210 to shoot this video. For $349 it’s a pretty decent little kit. This isn’t going to replace larger more expensive booms, but it’s nice and compact and seems pretty decent for travel purposes. […]

08Apr Quick Look at our NAB kit with Ian the Camera guy
Here’s a quick behind the scenes look at what Ian and I are traveling with this week at NAB. I let him dig through my camera bags and pick out his own kit. It isn’t anything crazy, just a simple well rounded kit for conference coverage. Canon c100 Canon 16-35mm f2.8 lens Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 […]
07Apr Changing my mind about the Sony a7s
I was a little disappointed with Sony a7s announcement yesterday. I was hoping for internal 4k recording and that seemed to be the biggest disappointment for me. I had almost marked the Sony a7s off my list until I had a chance to play around with it this afternoon. Even though the internal 4k recording […]
07Apr Pre NAB with Ian my camera guy
Ian is currently driving as we head off to DIA to fly out to NAB this morning. I’ll keep you posted on the adventure as it unfolds.
06Apr Sony Alpha a7s 4k camera announcement. Does not record 4k internally!
Well the Sony press conference didn’t provide much in the way of information about the Sony a7s. Here’s what we have learned. Ultra-High ISO sensitivity of ISO 50 to 409,600 (standard setting of ISO 200 to 104,400 in movie mode) Clean 4k HDMI video output “using the worlds first full pixel read-out without pixel binning” […]
