I´m a strong believer in uncompressed recording. I could never understand why on earth – with todays prices of HDDs in free fall – someone would like to record in a lossy, or worse lossy long GOP codec. In the moment there are only a few solutions for uncompressed recording. Most of them are more […]

A set of Zeiss Super Speed lenses is setting you back well over $20,000, while a set of Zeiss ZF SLR lenses are under $6,000. For the extra money you get a focus that goes clockwise, bigger, unified housing, longer throw and smooth (declicked) aperture. All this is nice to have, but how about sheer […]

I feel a disturbance in the force lately. It was super shallow DOF up the ass everywhere, since 35mm adapters and VDSLRs. Now there seems to be a move towards a more cinematic DOF. Is this just an other “XXX is dead ” thing, or is there a new trend?# It stroke me the first […]

And there I noticed him first. THE VDSLR WIMP. Intelligent, sober and sane folks suddenly write entries like: I got a problem here. […]

Manfrotto lately came out with the new 504HD Pro Video fluid head. They say that the “new” bridge design improves the head’s rigidity and its PAN friction control is fast, simple to fine-tune and protected from knocks. First of all, the “Bridge Design” isn’t exactly new at all. Even my old trusty Universal head of […]

As an answer on my last article VDSLR – R.I.P. Phillip Bloom wrote an interesting response: I cannot disagree more and I am someone who will most likely buy the new Panny. I have written a long blog about this called Future of DSLRs There will always be a market. The price point won’t compare. […]

Browsing some websites and forums this morning I noticed a lot of discussion about the new Canon 60D and how it compares with the 7D. I can understand this, at first glance it might seem like the 60D has made the 7D somewhat obsolete but that really is not the case. A closer look at […]

Die BBC, eine der zickigsten Sendeanstalten überhaupt, was Akquisitions-Formate betrifft, hat jetzt überraschend die Canon 5D MKII neue eingestuft. Das ist beachtlich, dann als die 5D ursprünglich getestet wurde hatten die Verantwortlichen wegen der Moire/Aliasing Probleme und der geringen Auflösung noch die Nase gerümpft und die Kamera so eingestuft, daß nur maximal 25% eines HD-Programms […]
