Early this morning, the good folks at Magic Lantern took to Twitter and released the above image – a snapshot that may not look like much to most, but means the world to Canon HDSLR filmmakers who have experienced first hand the incredible amount of benefits running the Magic Lantern hack can provide – a truly welcoming sign for current and future 5D Mark III owners.
Fuji has just released the first firmware update for their flagship mirrorless offering the X-Pro1, aiming for version 1.01 to correct the rather annoying occurrence now dubbed “chattering” – a noise that can be heard when the aperture blades automatically adjust to light when the camera is moved, an occurrence audible in the video below:
As promised, Canon has completed their prompt investigation into the 5D Mark III’s light-leak phenomenon, an issue that has been affecting numerous early adopters since the camera’s recent release.

Quick News - After experiencing an initial delay, postponing the highly-anticipated second firmware update for the NEX-FS100 for about a month, the upgrade has now been officially released and is currently available to download on Sony’s website.

For starters, intelligent vignette correction and lateral chromatic aberration/distortion control has now been supported on the new batch of lenses listed below, bringing the total to 11 A-mount pieces of glass that now support the feature:
Quick News – The much anticipated Sony FS100 firmware update/upgrade that was supposed to make landfall yesterday, Thursday, March 22nd, has now been delayed until April 19th without much rhyme or reason given by Sony themselves as to why the postponement occurred. However, at the moment, no changes have been made to the expected feature set updates, all of which remain the same.
Sony’s FS100 download page has been updated to the following:
Quick News - Canon has just released the latest firmware update for 5D Mark II users, bringing with it a simple performance boost when using certain UDMA 7-compatiable CF cards released from this month, February 2012 or later.
Thanks to the successful decryption of Nikon firmware by Vitaliy Kiselev last month, we now have our first unofficial community generated firmware update for D5100 owners.
