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 […]
04Jun Panasonic GH4 $1699 on Ebay
If you’ve been looking for a Panasonic GH4 body but don’t want to pay the current inflated street price of $2000, there are currently a few on ebay at the original MSRP of $1699. Not sure how long they’ll last, so if you want one you might want to jump on it.
04Jun Komputerbay 128GB SDXC card
This Komputerbay 128GB SDXC card showed up on monday and I’ve been giving it a few tests on the Panasonic GH4. At $64 it’s one of the most affordable 128GB SDXC cards on the market and if the advertised “60MB/s Write 90MB/s Read” are accurate, it could be an attractive option. As of right now I’ve […]
03Jun Panasonic GH4 support in Adobe camera raw 8.5 release candidate for CC
If you’ve been using the Panasonic GH4 for stills as well as video you’ll be happy to know that Adobe’s latest Camera raw 8.5 release candidate now supports the GH4 as well as a number of other cameras. While the release candidate is only prerelease software it will at least provide an alternative to the bundled SILKYPIX software […]
02Jun Mitakon Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95 For Sony a7s – Preorder
I haven’t owned or used any Mitakon lenses, but their new Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95 looks like a pretty sexy prospect. Up until now the only full frame lens that came close to f/0.95 is the legendary Canon 50mm f1.0 which is why the a 5omm f/0.95 lens for $899 looks so attractive. The question is, do you really need […]
29May Canon 55mm f1.2 FD on the Panasonic GH4 raw files
A few of you were asking about the Canon 55mm FD f1.2 lens and what I meant when I said the lens is “slightly softer” and that the lens “lacks a few lens coatings”. So I thought I would give a few examples and post a few raw images from the GH4 so you can get […]
29May ASUS 28″ 3840×2160 4k 60hz monitor coming june 10th
If you are in the market for a 4k (UHD 3840×2160) 60hz panel and you weren’t happy with the build quality of the Samsung U28D590D 4k monitor you might want to take a look at the Asus PB287Q 28″ monitor. It’s basically the exact same screen crammed into a much better stand and case combination […]
28May Canon 55mm f1.2 FD on the Panasonic GH4
I was half heartedly looking at the Voigtlander 42.5mm f0.95 a few weeks ago as my next m4/3 prime lens purchase and that got me thinking about the Canon 55mm f1.2 prime lens I have in my EOS-M kit. At around $300 used the Canon FD 55mm f1.2 is about $700 less than the Voigtlander 42.5mm […]
