06Apr DSLR FILM NOOB business card
A question that comes in now and again is “What do you use for a business card?”. I’ll be heading off to NAB first thing in the morning and if you run into me, this is the card you’ll probably get. It took me a few tries and a number of experiments working with a […]
04Apr New Sony A7s 4k 12MP full frame camera to be announced on sunday?
According to Sonyrumors.com, Sony is likely to release a full frame mirrorless camera labeled the a7s (catchy name right?), with a 12 mp sensor that’s capable of shooting 4k video. Sony already has the Sony FDR-AX100 4k Ultra HD camcorder which means they’ve already worked out the internals needed to create a 4k camera with their BIONZ […]

The design and implementation of the sun hood and battery plates are very well thought out and […]

01Apr Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8 vs Olympus 12-40mm f2.8 flicker test
First, sorry for my lack of enthusiasm in this video, I filmed this right after a 12 hour shoot that sucked the life out of me. Still after all of the debate I really wanted to find out more about the aperture flicker many of you were reporting. I’ve watched the test clips a number […]
