[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/85773475[/vimeo] Featuring original music by HERDWHITE –  “I Already Know What For”. The E-M1 is a real surprise for a video. For this review I decided to set myself a challenge with a musician friend, where we’d shoot a music video ‘Dogme 95’ style. Entirely handheld with the Olympus 5 axis stabliser Very basic lights (iPhone torch and a flame) Maximum of 2 shooting days In the process I learned a…
Above: A7R with the new SLR Magic “Anamorphot 50” anamorphic lens Micro Four Thirds vs full frame. America has answered this question pretty resoundingly – mirrorless sales are apparently down 47%. I don’t think this will be a lasting trend because mirrorless is moving forwards in terms of image quality and features far faster than DSLRs are. The Sony A7R is the highest spec of all of them, at least…
[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/80319639[/vimeo] Super 8 and Super 16 movie cameras took a free-roaming Henri-Cartier Bresson style to documentary filmmaking and “run & gun” for the first time (as early as the 1960’s). Cadid footage of JFK on the election trail. French New Wave cinema in the 80’s. The run & gun simplicity of Bolex Super 16mm cameras is timeless. The Sony RX10 on paper is perfectly equipped to be a cinematic run…
[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/75728395[/vimeo] “The Pocket” is a polarising camera. It’s as tempting to rave about the camera as it is to criticise it for obvious shortcomings. However – bottom line is that this is an extraordinary tool. It is 90% of what I loved about the Blackmagic Cinema Camera without the bulk and strange form factor. In my mind it replaces the Panasonic GH2 as the cult favourite of prosumer video because it…
[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/71346820[/vimeo] Note: video is shot with no rig on an outstretched hand. The SLR Magic 35mm T0.95 is an ultrafast manual focus lens targeted at cinematographers. It is a Leica M mount lens with bespoke adapters for mFT and Sony E-mount. Until now I had been using this lens on my Sony FS100 but Olympus recently updated their OM-D firmware to support 5 axis stabilisation in video mode with all…
[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/70979462[/vimeo] When I reviewed the Sony RX100 exactly a year ago it was genuinely novel. The closest image quality yet to a DSLR in a pocket camera. Can the RX100 Mark II improve enough to stay interesting?
[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/70830474[/vimeo] Buy the Panasonic G6 on eBay The G6 achieves a certain yin-and-yang. With the GH3 now occupying a higher position in the line, the G6 has moved up to occupy the position once taken by our much loved GH2. It shares the same sensor which of course was always pretty special for video, yet adds a lot of significant new features like 1080/60p, a faster processor, high resolution LCD…
