The Swivi USA monitor costs just $330 on Amazon USA. (I picked mine up in Europe for 229 euros at MeinFoto in Berlin) Here’s a monitor that plugs the hole left by Canon when they forgot to include an articulated screen and peaking on the 5D Mark III. How does it perform and is it worth getting?
I’m a filmmaker, and the Canon APS-C line fails to deliver what I need. The 650D is the FIFTH APS-C DSLR Canon have released with no improvement in video quality. Starting with the 7D (1) we’ve subsequently had the 550D (2), the 60D (3), the 600D (4) and now the 650D.

Read the full comprehensive Canon 5D Mark III review at DPReview DPReview have now delivered their verdict on the 5D Mark III, with a contribution to the video section (as an independent voice) by myself, Andrew Reid.

A nice surprise is that it has a 1920×810 2.35:1 anamorphic cinemascope mode. It is also interesting in that it’s one of the first ‘smart DSLR’ style cameras with features that make the iPhone and…
[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/42091083[/vimeo] This is a torture test of the low light abilities of 3 cameras. There are three test scenes in a battered old ex-factory in the east of Berlin. The first consists of a completely pitch black room with glowing pearl lighting. The next one is in the roof is lit using a single iPhone 4S torch with the cameras ramped up to ISO 12,800. The third scene is again…
In an interview with the British press in Berlin this week, Leica head of the supervisory board Dr Andreas Kaufmann revealed that they have been working on implementing video on their digital rangerfinder line or possibly new products.
