Nah. Fly by wire is when the manual focus ring on the lens drives internal motors to shift the focussing elements, rather than doing it directly, mechanically.

First impressions review The long awaited active Canon EF mount Speed Booster adapter for Micro Four Thirds is finally here. I have a review sample, currently putting it through a few shoots to see how it performs. This is not the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera version but the general Micro Four Thirds mount adapter, so fully compatible with all Panasonic and Olympus cameras including the GH4 and E-M1. Finally you can use all your Canon lenses with full electronic support for aperture control and stabilisation. Read the full article here

  I agree and Blackmagic have a lot of work to do on the sales and marketing side to get their house in order. They are really upsetting people.

Nice shot man!   By the way my A7S review part 2 and conclusion are coming this week. Sorry it took a while.

  Here's the "director's cut"  password vandyk   This is my edit and grade, but to be honest the music style is not a great fit to my shooting style which is slow and considered on the most part. Radiohead is a better fit. So if you're watching guys ;) I'm here and waiting.

  Wow small world. Keep up the good work Kasper!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_RF4VrUuCY I've recently worked with the Grammy Award winning DJ, from Berlin - Paul Van Dyk. Although the final cut and grade was done by his record label, the shots are taken from my EOSHD camera test videos and personal creative shoots shot in Berlin over the past 12 months and it's a real honour that such a major commercial artist likes my images. Paul Van Dyk was one of the first superstar DJs and he's a huge part of the Berlin music scene, so dance & trance fans...Enjoy! There's a variety of cameras in the mix, used to shoot the images - see if you can tell which. A big thanks to Christina Mj Zahra (dark haired girl dancing) and Frank Sauer (my collaborator on the Digital Bolex shoot with Christina).Read the full article here

  It only affects JPEG though right and then you have to grade it! Shoot raw for better results.

Sorry about that man... I have been on holiday and have been sent approximately 1000 emails, some not even in my inbox but lost in the ether. What's your email address so I can delve in and sort it out once and for all? Didn't get the FB messages for some reason BTW.

Interesting about the 240fps high speed mode stuff... I missed that.   I still think the firmware update won't happen.   But it's a strange situation indeed.

  It's coming. Please stay on topic, thanks.

Sometimes the rumour mill is just so outrageous. I am not talking about the site admins (don't shoot the messenger - they do a great job) but rather some of the sources who feed absolutely made up information. You may have heard the rumours of the Olympus E-M1 getting a 4K video firmware update, but 4K video on the E-M1 is a technical impossibility and here's why... Read the full article here

Nope, optics remain 1.5x.

The Iscorama is a wonder of vintage optics. No focus breathing, a unique patented focus mechanism, small size and sharp at fast apertures. The beauty is the sheer number of primes you can use it with. Whilst an Iscorama may look expensive at $3000 a pop (used!), a full set of Zeiss master anamorphics cost an eye watering $305,000 ($43,600 per lens). Now it's about to become even better, but only if we club together as Iscorama users to make this happen... Read the full article here

  Is that with the latest firmware or the old one?   PS - Mac version isn't live yet but will update the post when it is

What I hadn't realised until now was how good a stand-up he was as well as an actor. I had only followed one career.  

Firmware for Mac is coming within 24hrs.

  It will be available yes. In 4K I am sure it will grade even better.

Metabones have announced a firmware update for their Smart EF Mark IV adapter (E-Mount). This is a must-have update for A7S users who have experienced buggy behaviour with their camera using Canon lenses. The firmware update is available from Metabones here along with full instructions. If you have the earlier Mark III version of the adapter the firmware update must be done back at base. To do this users should contact Metabones to arrange the return. Read the full article here

The current D4S is already an action focussed DSLR though! Makes no sense.

  Yes I asked for 10bit :) A nice big firmware update would make a very good camera a great one and truly take sales of Canon I think.   Would the last one still shooting H.264 on a 5D Mark III please stand up? ;)

On a trip to Pinewood Studios earlier this week I saw for the first time Sony A7S 4K footage projected in a theatre. The surprise was just how well the 1080p held up for cinematic projection. I also had my hands on the Atomos Shogun 4K recorder and field monitor, the new Sony X70 1" 10bit XAVC camcorder and more... Read the full article here

120fps ISO 12,800   IS THAT HARD??

  On those two lenses you have a point and I also think the Canon lens range is the best overall for full frame, but the EF-S APS-C lenses... Hmmm. Not as much choice really. Good job there's a lot of third party manufacturers like Tokina and Sigma.

First obviously you'd need the original S-LOG files not the graded Vimeo clip then try the EOSHD "dynamic" LUT and see how it handles the highlights   http://www.eoshd.com/content/13161/grading-sony-a7s-s-log-2-eoshd-cinematic-looks-download
