[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/47013561[/vimeo] New Blackmagic Cinema Camera footage is in the wild, and this one is downloadable in glorious high bitrate 1080p. Although it isn’t the original DNG or ProRes rushes it is the closest we’ve come to a representative video yet.
Browsing: 1080p
Please note the compression and noise is from Vimeo not the camera John Brawley has some new Blackmagic footage for us. Unfortunately Vimeo streams 1080p at something like 7Mbit and John has no download option on this clip, so watching Blackmagic footage when it is so heavily compressed rather defeats the object of such a lovely 12bit raw camera. Nevertheless dynamic range and resolution are looking pretty good.
[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/46037469[/vimeo] Journey – by Andrew Reid Does the new OM-D E-M5 manage to produce a GH2 style virtuoso performance in video mode? I have to say there are some question marks over that – but as a stills camera it is now my absolute number one choice against some very tough competition – the 5D Mark III, Fuji X Pro 1 and Sony NEX 7.

The majority of those at the cinema screenings – including Francis Ford Coppola preferred Colt Seaman’s lighting and…

Would I consider intercutting RX100 footage with 1080p from a pro Super 35mm cinema camera? Yes I would. This should give you an idea of what a monumental achievement the technology of the RX100 is.
[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/44064956[/vimeo] I’ve shot a comparison in Berlin today between my modified 5D Mark III and the standard 5D Mark III. The modified 5D Mark III is similar to the Nikon D800E in that the anti-aliasing filter has been removed. (Which is why the modified 5D Mark III is dubbed 5D3E in the video). But is it any good?
If you are waiting for the out of stock Nikon D800 – it seems your wait might have to go on for a while yet – since the D800E might be the one to get.

So Falk Lumo has gone and found out for himself, with a great technical analysis of the Nikon D800 and how it obtains 1080p video from the huge 36MP Sony sensor inside.
