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 […]

Kodak’s TrueSense Introduces a 4K Four Thirds Video Sensor
Interesting development from TrueSense which is a spin off from Kodak after they went through bankruptcy. This is a 4K sensor in the Four Thirds format. This means that Micro Four Third cameras could use this sensor like the AF-100 which is the only cinema camera that uses the MFT format. Wouldn’t this be nice […]
