There is some interesting bits of information contained within the (lengthy) share offer prospectus for Atomos from a few months ago.
Aside from them licensing an SoC to JVC for upcoming video cameras (which may mean hello LS300 MKii ?), four new products for 2019 described as 'next generation' and some interesting data about how big the market is for external recorders, which is bigger than I thought.
One other thing, though, which crops up several times throughout the prospectus as a risk factor is a dispute with RED.

Elsewhere in the document it states that RED are in the same dispute with another party and, whilst it might not necessarily mean its to do with ProRes RAW and REDCODE it does seem a coincidence that the date of the dispute coincides with the announcement from NAB.
Hopefully it will get resolved and if it is about ProRes RAW that it won't put the brakes on the development of it and expanding it to other camera brands and models.

If you enjoyed my Super 16mm c-mount adventure on the new EOS M50, you might want to take a look at the latest Magic Lantern endeavours on the original EOS M. Pictured above is mine with the Kern-Switar 26mm F1.1.

They do look like something that would Be in a sub station no doubt LoL.

Nah, you only need a flight of stairs.

I hadn't but I've just watched it on YouTube
They used to scare the shit out of me as a kid. My Dad preyed on this to keep me from playing in the electricity sub station (it was the 70s, we had a different benchmark for danger back then) by saying the loud buzzing noise coming out of it was from the daleks that lived in there.
 

I picked a copy of this magazine up at the airport when I was back on the Island this week, primarily because it featured an interesting piece with Jihua Zheng, the co-owner of Kinefinity.
As a gentleman of a certain age (and increasingly uncertain age due to my expiring memory) I have to say its very reassuring to pick up an actual paper publication to read equipment reviews and editorial content.
Its also reassuring after all the "are they or aren't they being paid for this?" doubts about YouTube reviews in particular to see real unambiguous adverts on a page so you know exactly where the money is coming from.
Ditto that what little advertorial content there is in it being clearly labelled across the page as being so.
Also, because it isn't created on the hoof on the back of press junkets or off re-cycled press releases it has a bit more diverse content too rather than just feeding the hype of whatever is the flavour of the month. Or flavour of the second in a lot of cases.
For me at least, it provides if not a complete alternative then certainly an interesting addition to the deluge of online stuff.
And its a far easier medium to consume when you are on a plane and don't have wifi as well
Hopefully it will get the support it needs to grow further

Yes.
It will be published on the 27th.
Of this month.
And this year
I'll put a bit of an update here later in the week with a couple of pictures and a final run list of its functionality.

Sounds like some really fucked up hidden mode you've discovered on the Alexa there.

In the UK, he went from being the editor of the right wing News Of The World tabloid to being the editor of the left wing Daily Mirror tabloid.
And as far as I can tell he is simultaneously and equally loathed by both left and right.
He truly is Schrodinger's Twat.

Fuji used to make very handsome cine cameras.
If they did move back into dedicated motion cameras, carried on their retro styling cues of the stills range and put the X-T3 internals in this then I suspect many people would wet their pants.
I'd be one of them

Haha, Fuji’s Single 8 (I believe it was called) or their failed attempt as an answer to Super 8. I think I have one of those cameras in storage.

For sure i'd go nuts if that were to happen (mini compact Super35 cine cam with 16mm bolex style hand grip design housing extra battery, XT3 sensor, XH1s IBIS & X100s NDs). Made in Japan. Please Fuji!
Who knows, they did revive their medium-format system out of thin air..
