17Nov Z-cam E1 M43 camera firmware .21 working AF lens list

For those of you who own the Z-cam E1 camera or are interested in buying one, Z-cam has just released version .21 of the camera’s firmware. You can download it via the Z-cam app. I had a lot of complaints about the first iteration of the Z-cam E1, but with this update Z-cam is finally starting […]

09Nov First look at the Z-cam E1 camera 4k M43 body

I often complain about kickstarter projects, over the years I’ve had bad luck with ruffly two out of every 3 campaigns I’ve contributed to. However I do still occasionally put my money down on things that look extremely interesting and the Z-cam E1 camera looked good. The promise of the kickstarter campaign was a Gopro sized 4k […]

02Nov Olympus Air is a strange little camera

The Olympus Air is a strange little lens sized package. It’s not really a full fledged camera and yet it’s not really a toy. In away it’s very similar to the concept behind the Sony DSC-QX100. However, unlike the QX100, the Olympus Air is equipped with a Micro Four Thirds lens mount as well as the same 16 megapixel […]

12Sep Panasonic LX100 4k point & shoot – First Impressions

Even though I turn over 1080p footage for the vast majority of the work that I do, I’ve started to shoot 4k whenever available. It’s not that I really “need” to shoot 4k, but the data penalty and workflow aren’t really that bad and I’ve kind of falling into the philosophy “If you have it […]

21Jun KIPON EOS/EF Lens to Micro 4/3 Adapter with high Speed AF on the GH4

The Kipon EOS/EF high speed AF lens adapter came in on Friday and I’ve just started to experiment with it. If you aren’t familiar with the adapter, it’s basically an electronic Canon EF to M43 lens adapter that provides high speed AF when using Canon glass on a M43 body. On the lens side you’ll […]

04Jun Metabones EF to M43 S Speedbooster adapter – First impressions

I picked up the Metabones EF to M43 S adapter for the Panasonic GH4 right before I made the big move to the Pacific Northwest, but i’m just now getting a chance to start playing around with it. This is my first speedbooster type of device for the GH4 and my first metabones product in […]

10Mar Panasonic Gh4 price dropping on ebay to $1182

There are some rumors of a new Panasonic GH4 firmware update coming which might add some “major features”. While that seems to be mostly twitter speculation, new Ebay prices on the GH4 have dropped to $1182, which brings it pretty close to the price of the new Olympus E-M5 MKII. If you’re a M4/3 shooter, I […]

02Mar Canon 5d mark III price drop, 5d mark IV on the way?

Canon announced official $300 price cuts on retail 5d mark III and Canon 6d bodies over the weekend and it seems to fall in line with the extremely low 5d mark III ebay prices we’ve been seeing over the last few weeks.  There were a lot of grumblings about the Canon 5ds possibly being the only new 5d branded […]

17Feb Thinking about ordering the Olympus E-M5 Mark II

I’ve been looking longingly at the Olympus E-M5 Mark II since it was announced a few weeks ago and I’m still on the fence. At $1099 it’s basically a rugged version of the Panasonic GH3. However the E-M5 Mark II excels for me in one key feature, image stabilization. The 5-axis system is really interesting, but is that enough? […]
