Check out Gizmodo’s take on my GH2 / 5D Mark III comparison video
Here’s a quick guide to the things I’ve found useful with my 5D Mark III video shoots so far.
Akihabara News in Tokyo reports that the GH2 has uncompressed RAW video-out via HDMI.
UPDATE #1
Philip Bloom tests and confirms clean HDMI output. Uncompressed? Let’s wait and see what the image is like from his external recorder. Check here for his latest updates.

Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now is to be released on Blu Ray in the original anamorphic format with which it was shot.
Shot with anamorphic lenses and transferred to 70mm for the theatrical release then came the heart breaking decision to severely crop the film for the standard 4:3 TV and video cassettes of the time, loosing 40% of the original careful framing and 40% of how the film was intended to look.
Footage from the iPhone 4′s HD video mode with Nikon AI lenses has been posted on Vimeo along with an iPhone app which enables new video mode functionality previously unavailable, and can offer manual focus & exposure.
Lots of rumours are hitting the net ahead of the expected ’2 waves’ of announcements from Canon next month and in August. One of the cameras constantly mooted is a 60D.
But I see a problem with this and something profound has been missed.
