12Jun Sony A7S v.s. 5d mark III low light test
I’ve posted a few things about how Amazing the low light performance is on the new Sony a7s (here and here) but the video below really drives the point home. Sony really made the right choice move to a lower megapixel sensor and focusing in on lowlight and dynamic range performance. I rarely need 22MP, […]
12Jun Varavon GH4 Cage hits the market at $270
The very sexy Varavon Panasonic GH4 cage I saw at NAB has started to show up on ebay even though there is no sign of it on the official Varavon site. It appears they’ve added a nice looking top handle and an HDMI locking cable to the design and raised the asking price from the […]
12Jun Panasonic Lumix FZ1000, 4k for $897?
The announcement for the Panasonic FZ1000 happened at midnight last night but it’s been bouncing around the rumor mill for a few weeks now. The Fz1000 looks like it’s designed to compete directly with the Sony RX10. Both cameras are crossover “all in one” super zoom hybrids and both cameras share the same sensor. Where the Panasonic […]

10Jun Nvidia GTX Titan vs R9 290x for NLE work – First impressions
I’ve been test driving the R9 290x for almost a month now and so far it has been a positive experience. Rendering speeds are slightly faster than a GTX 680 and it has no problem keeping up with the Samsung 4k panel I’ve been using. It’s pretty impressive for a GPU that sells for around […]

For those of you who haven’t made the jump yet, an SSD is well worth considering and the new Crucial drive has a very attractive price. While the new Crucial MX100 512GB SSD drives aren’t at the top of the pack in terms of speed, the current $219 price tag still makes them a very […]
06Jun Komputerbay 128GB SDXC Speed test
I’ve been testing out that Komputerbay 128GB SDXC card with the Panasonic GH4 over the last 3 or 4 days and I haven’t run into any problems with write speeds. Even at 1080p 200Mbit/s the card seems to sail along without any trouble. No dropouts or write issues so far, I might even approve it for paid work […]
05Jun Next GH4 lens buy, the Panasonic 35-100mm f2.8
The most impressive thing about the m4/3 format for me is the size of the lenses. This Panasonic 35-100mm f2.8 is equivalent to my Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS in focal length yet it’s less than half the size and much lighter. With gear this small I can fit 2 or 3 primes, a couple of zooms, and the GH4 into a […]
