Comment on the forum When I began shooting with my own Leica SL2 earlier this year, I found a lot to like about the high-spec mirrorless camera for filmmaking, and of course the SL2 is superb for photography. However, the battery power management has prevented shooting in 4K and 5K reliably, varying depending on the type of lenses used. After making Leica aware of this issue, Leica’s Head of Product…

Comment on the EOSHD Forum Blackmagic Pocket 4K topic (415 pages and 1 million views on just one thread!) Something for Blackmagic to look into here on the EOSHD Forum thread for the Pocket 4K. Anecdotal evidence say the camera is suffering from macro-blocking and banding in blue skies which you don’t expect to see with a 10bit codec let alone a RAW codec.

Ever wondered if those sensor AF pixels or “sensels” can show up in your images? I’m just fresh from shooting a music video with the Olympus OM-D E-M1. I love this camera for professional video.

I’ve had my suspicions for a while now about AVCHD footage having a different exposure on my Mac to on the camera.
