It’s beginning to happen, the game is changing. HDSLRs are beginning to find work in commercial TV and media, stuff which is serious business and seen by millions around the world.

The latest news on cameras, from EOSHD
[vimeo]10784490[/vimeo] I like this clip shot in London for a number of reasons. It isn’t perfect by any means, but first of all it’s a great scene (from a great movie), second of all the acting is pretty convincing and thirdly the anamorphic lens flare is from fishing wire! That’s innovation on a budget. Sound comes from a Zoom H4N, also good – considering this little gadget costs just $400…
A guy named Paulo emailed me about this a few days ago, but unfortunately I’ve been busy! Apparently a Hong Kong guy has dismantled his 5D Mark II, removed the mirrorbox and put a PL mount on the camera for Arri primes.
As the Canon 5D Mark II and Nikon D3S show, full frame may be winning now – but do we really need it? Rise of the compact High Sensitivity sensors Recently I was comparing sample photos from the Canon G11 to the Panasonic GF1, I found that at ISO 3200 the G11 was almost matching the GF1 for resolution, detail, colour and noise simply through virtue of having a very…
Two of the ‘must-have’ bargain lenses for the Canon 5D Mark II and Panasonic GH1 are in the 35mm range. The GH1 needs a good fast portrait lens around the 35mm mark because the Lumix pancake is a bit too wide at 20mm, and a 50 is too much like a telephoto. 35mm is the perfect compromise and gives you shallower depth of field than the pancake for half the…
[vimeo]10657409[/vimeo] If possible please watch the test footage on a proper display via DVI or HDMI, not a laptop screen. It makes a HUGE difference in perception. The results of EOSHD’s low light shootout between the mighty Canon 5D Mark II and the Panasonic GH1 are in! This is a real-life natural light test, this is what happens when you take out the cameras and shoot. There are no test…
(Above: Bella regrets buying a 7D so close to the launch of the 550D) People have many varied opinions on the HDSLR revolution, some criticise the hype. The most regular line is that a good camera by itself doesn’t make a good film and that ‘content is king’. That’s easy to say. But I don’t think it’s that black and white.
A quick glance above and you’d think the photo was shot by NASA using a rocket, costing millions. Or maybe shot by an astronaut clutching a Nikon D3X orbiting earth from a space shuttle! In fact, the snap above is from a Canon Powershot A560 in a polystyrene box attached to a balloon.
