Looks like Apple is considering getting into the camera business. As always Apple is thinking out of the box. https://ymcinema.com/2025/12/11/apple-modular-camera-system-interchangeable-lenses-patent/ Enjoy.

Yes. At recent news events I've seen a reporter from our local Fox affiliate setup a camcorder and position himself in front of it and record. His camcorder and tripod were prosumer level. The first time I saw him recording I thought he was just some amateur recording the outdoor event until...

Those of you editing with a Mac Studio, what are you using for a monitor(s)?

Same here. I have a mid 2017 i7 27” iMac with 40GB RAM. Was notified that Apple will be ending support for this iMac in November 2025. Shoot primarily 4K (UHD). Considering a Mac Mini M4 Pro vs Mac M4 Max Studio with 64GB RAM. What I like about the Studio it has all of the ports I need...

B&H has posted the price for the Z300, $8,299 USD. Ouch, this is higher than I thought it would be. I wonder if the price includes the tariff. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1908874-REG/sony_pxw_300_pxw_z300_3_cmos_xdcam_camcorder.html

In this video taken at the BIRTV2025 Expo in China the camera is shown as the Z380. I wonder if the camera will be Z380 in Asia and Z300 in the USA.

Looks like the Z280 replacement is the PXW-Z300 and not the rumored Z380. https://www.newsshooter.com/2025/07/21/sony-pxw-z300/ Very nice. A post on redsharknews.com mentioned Sony said in briefings the price will be around $9,000 USD. Not sure if this price included tariffs. I wonder what...

My first video camera was a Sony PD150 which I bought in 2001. Loved that camera and used it for 7 years. In the Spring of 2022 I was looking to by a camcorder to replace my Canon C100. Considered buying the Z280. However, when I priced out the Z280 with Sony’s memory cards, card reader...

Plenty of Internet buzz about rumors of two new Sony cameras to be announced at IBC in September. A FX8 and a Z380. If true, the Z380 should make Doug Jensen happy. https://cameratimes.org/sony-fx8-full-frame-12k-cinema-camera-expected-ahead-of-ibc-2025/ Enjoy.

I attended the first day. This year it was way more crowded than the first 2023 BILD event. According to Nino Leitner on a post on CINED over 57,000 people registered to attend the event. Don’t forget this was a combined photo and video/cinema event. My impression was more people were...

Have you ever considered a camcorder? Used XF605s may be in your budget. I shot this event with my Canon XF605 in UHD 422 10Bit 30p.

A few years ago when my 20+ year old Sennheiser G1 wireless kit (518-568 Mhz) started having issues I decided to replace it with a 5.8GHz Saramonic wireless kit. Have not experienced any interference issues with this kit...

Yes. The JVC HC500 camcorder has a 3G-SDI BNC output.
