  Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson is to be sacked, bringing to an end a 27 year career with the BBC and an overhaul of the show. A BBC source told The Guardian - "There can’t be one rule for talent and one rule for ordinary human beings". In 1999 the director David O. Russell head butted George Clooney on the set of Three Kings. Allegedly Clooney responded by choking O. Russell with his hands around his neck. That didn't seem to bother the Oscars, when O. Russell's film Silver Linings Playbook was nominated for 8 in 2012. Read the full article

Completely fake. Not long to wait till the real deal now...

Does downgrading your equipment to simpler, more basic models make you more creative? I went to find out. Read the full article

Maybe they are all like Leonard!    

I am finding video quality in 4K very similar to the NX1, almost identical. Problem is the crop, I find it very bothersome indeed! It's HUGE!

I believe it. Canon are going fixed lens mirrorless, so they don't have to introduce a new video-optimised mirrorless lens line-up to cannibalise their EF sales.

​What... from the back of the LCD?!

Yes 30 min limit and no 4K HDMI output to get around it. No mic socket either. I hope Samsung offers the same perks of firmware updates to the NX500 as we saw with the NX1... it needs it.

​It's "NX" mount. It does get some love from Ciecio7. His PL adapter for Samsung NX mount is superb. I use it with my Cookes on the NX1.

If that new sensor does 14 stops with global shutter enabled I'd be very surprised.

Also, best manual aperture control for Nikon G lenses / Sigma ART on E-Mount & Micro Four Thirds I've yet used. Very robust and smooth.

No, EF and Nikon lenses are bayonet locking. With a positive lock, this works like a PL adapter for cinema lenses. A locking ring locks around the lens, securing it with absolutely no wiggle like you get with a bayonet. So rather than rotating to lock the lens, you hold the lens to the adapter and rotate the adapter's locking mechanism around it instead... just as you would do when mounting a PL lens to a RED EPIC.

Above: Canon EF locking adapter for Sony E-Mount In my opinion these are some of the best adapters currently on the market for Canon & Nikon glass. They take a normal Canon or Nikon lens and turn it into a PL mount (positive locking) with no play between the mount and lens. Most of the adapters are currently in stock on eBay for your A7S / GH4: Canon EF locking adapter for Sony E-Mount Nikon locking adapter for Sony E-Mount Canon EF locking adapter for Micro Four Thirds Nikon locking adapter for Micro Four Thirds (Not currently in stock) And also the versions for Sony FZ mount (F55, etc.) and AJA Cion: Canon - FZ Nikon - FZ Canon - CION Nikon - CION Read the full article

Although we're still waiting for that 4K consumer DSLR from Canon, the company has announced an investment into Spartan Bioscience, a firm developing rapid DNA testing apparatus for the masses to have their DNA analysed for potential health issues. Read the full article

You are right, just look at the vitriol in damphouse's post above for a perfect example. ​I can't think of anything interesting to watch on the BBC at the moment at all. They really have caved into a very risk-averse creative culture.

The Olympus E-M5 Mark II can shoot pin sharp handheld shots at a shutter speed of 1/2 (half a second) at 50mm (equiv.) Here I took the camera down the backstreets of Manchester and shot it. Read the full article

My point reinforced again by Lammy! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_whispers Is it really that hard to stay on the topic the article raises?

​God there are some stupid people out there. It just proves everything I'm saying is spot on. That people get confused and take offence like in a massive game of Chinese whispers. Oh is that phrase racist as well? I am sure someone will complain about that next, because they don't understand it's use or even their own language properly. In a recent Saturday Night Live show that Jerry Seinfeld hosted he took a joke packed Q&A from the audience amongst them Spielberg, Ed Norton, Larry David and other stars. One of them asked why there were no black people on Seinfeld and Jerry replied joking "It is true that we did not do everything we could to cure society's ills!" We all know why Seinfeld was great, thank you VRVC you genius, and it has nothing to do with the lack of black cast members on the show, and everything to do with everything else.

Hmm. Well it's both actually. I'm all in favour of alternative fuels and cars, as long as they give you the buzz the old ones did and more.

Some interesting viewing...   Russell is almost spot on -   And you could make a nice headline out of this one - "F1 is homosexual" - Clarkson    

What's up Bob?

Hmm OK let's be a bit clearer here. Image quality is almost the same as the E-M5's video mode actually. Most of the time it looks identical. What has changed is the codec. It has a higher bitrate now, so less mud and it will grade a tiny bit better with a bit less banding, but it's still WAY behind the GH4 and others.

An EOSHD opinion Humour and creative risk taking are being pulled under by a faceless crowd of sanctimonious trolls. A culture is taking over, heavily pre-disposed to a savage online shaming game. As filmmakers and creative artists we should be aware of what is happening and try to prevent it... because we could be next. Read the full article

I think it's time to end this thread, it went south a long time ago.

Yes, all sent.
