Panasonic GH4 Vs. Canon 5D Mark III With & Without RAW
You knew it was coming….. As seen in the earlier Vs. video. The C100 and GH4 this one to me has a clear winner on image quality. I pick the GH4. The 5D MKIII is just to soft and the RAW files look better but not by that much and it’s HD. The one thing […]
Side By Side Comparison Of The Canon C100 & Panasonic GH4
I normally don’t like these shoot outs because the method is usually flawed. This one is well done so I wanted to share it. They used one lens the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM and the Atomos Ninja 2 to record the C100 as well as internal AVCHD while only recording the GH4 internally […]
Get Your Zacuto C100 Z-Finder Pro To Stay In Place Without Z-Bands
The Zacuto C100 Z-Finder Pro is a slick way to overcome the EVF issues with the C100. It slips right over the LCD screen turning it into an EVF. Brilliant! The only issue is the Z-Bands don’t hold the C100 Z-Finder in place. Not so brilliant. I stumbled across a fix when I was on […]

Recording Internal Audio With The RODE Lavalier & Panasonic GH4. Hands On Review
After using the GH4 for a broadcast news promo and recording the audio internally with the Sennheiser EK 2000 wireless I wanted to see how good these new preamps are in the Panasonic GH4. I was happy with the sound I had from the wireless setup but how would it compare to say the Canon Cinema […]

New Atomos Ninja Blade Firmware 5.11 Fixes Black Bar Issue and Adds Features
The Ninja Blade is one really nice recorder for the C100 and other HDMI output cameras. I love the screen so much I use it without even using the recorder.
