While the Nikon D4, D800 and Canon 5D mark III have all seen their respective, and rather extraordinary, time in the review spotlight, aside from the 5D3, they have yet to get their collective Phillip Bloom stamp of approval and usually thorough head to head video capability comparison. But finally, although fashionably-late, we now the latest and greatest unscientific/real-world full-frame shootout, sure to give pixel-peepers their fill for the foreseeable future.
Sebastian of Cinema5D already provided a fantastic look into into the components needed to realistically start shooting with the RED Scarlet-X, clearing up some of the misconceptions for many individuals unfamiliar with RED digital cinema cameras.
Fresh off his RED Scarlet-X purchase, Sebastian from Cinema5D has been enjoying the new 4K powerhouse for a few weeks and has graced us with part one of his video review, which is actually a welcoming overview of sorts.
Philip Bloom is sure making the most of his time with the pre-production Canon EOS C300 he has been sent to check out. We’ve already seen his video review and test footage from the camera and now we have part one of a quick camera shootout to munch-on between the Sony F3, Sony FS100, Sony NEX-5N, Panasonic AF101, Canon 7D, Nikon D7000, Panasonic GH2, and, of course, the Canon EOS C300.
The world can now sleep a little tighter this Christmas as Mr. Bloom himself has revealed his personal thoughts of the time spent with Canon’s EOS C300. I won’t do Philip the disservice of reintegrating his likes and dislikes, which have been covered thoughtfully in the video above, but hopefully his opinions of the camera won’t be met with the same backlash the prior review of the RED Scarlet was met with… Hopefully.
Jon Yi, freelance director and cinematographer, was contacted by Canon before the announcement of the EOS C300 and was granted the rare opportunity to shoot with Canon’s new digital cinema offering for one full week, all in the hopes of creating a video detailing his thoughts and experiences with the camera. Sounds great, right? Well, it seems Canon wasn’t so pleased with the lighthearted, albeit incredibly informative, results.
2011 has proved to be quite the big year for Sony’s prosumer camera division. The release of the NEX-5N was met with universal acclaim, the NEX-7 is shaping up to be a true Fuji X100 competitor, and the Alpha A65 is pleasantly priced for the types of features offered. Enter the A77, Sony’s flagship DSLR set to take the 5D Mark II’s crown digital video greatness. With all the enormous expectations surrounding this camera, could it possibly live up to all the hype? Take a look at what Kai Wong and the DigitalRev team have to say in their hands-on review below: Read More…
You may recall a nifty little filter developed by the boys at Mosaic Engineering claiming to cure a longstanding problem with moire and aliasing prevalent in DSLR video. We all praised the preliminary test videos for the incredible amount of artifact reduction shown, but it wasn’t until now that we got a true hands-on, unbiased review from someone such as the reputable Phillip Bloom. The HDSLR guru takes us through a handful of tests and shows us how far this new filter can go, and then some! How did it perform? Take a look at the video below for Bloom’s final verdict:
Caleb Pike, founder of DSLRvideoshooter.com, is always on the hunt for useful, inexpensive alternatives to some of the more costly cinema gear currently available on the market. This time around, he stumbled upon a great looking and versatile little slider by the name of CineMover. For the price of a dinner and a movie, the CineMover doesn’t exactly break the bank at $80 and to tell you the truth, performs rather well according to the test videos. Take a look at Caleb Pike’s full video review below.
One rather intriguing and useful feature is the CineMover’s ability to attach itself on a myriad of objects. Out in the field and see an unused handrail? The slider (as seen in the video) can adjust its wheel setting length to a number of different widths, making it virtually mountable on any somewhat straight surface. Very useful!
If you like what you see, the CineMover camera slider is currently available for purchase at MoveYourCamera.com
