    New Blackmagic Camera July 16th?

    I was fascinated by Grant Petty’s mention that the new sensor has equal amounts of red, green and blue photosites. How is this possible? Well, if you arrange the colors in a 3 x 3 square you can achieve just that. Here’s what it looks like. Each 3 x 3 square contains 9 photosites with equal...

    Does Stabilization on Sony APS-C Lenses Work on Sony Full Frame Cameras?

    I wanted to but a Sony 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 APS-C lens to use on my A7s in crop mode, solely to take advantage of the len's optical stabilization. However, I found a review where they said the stabilizer doesn't work on full frame cameras, only on native APS-C cameras. Is this true for all OSS Sony...

    Replacement USB Cable for A7s

    I want to update the firmware on my A7s, but I don't have the original USB cable. Ordinary micro USB cables don't work. I believe Sony uses a propriety multi-pin connector. Has anybody successfully updated their firmware using a third party cable? If so, which one? Thanks.

    A7s - Where is the REMOTE SENSOR?

    On page 16 of the A7s manual, it shows the Remote Sensor is on the hand grip, next to the WIFI sensor. But on my camera, absolutely nothing is at that location. Did Sony remove the infared remote sensor from the production cameras, or am I missing something?

    THIS is why I returned the Speedbooster

    Here is a zip file that contains two 1920 x 1080 frame grabs taken with the Sony A7s, one in full frame mode without the Speedbooster, and one in APS-C mode with the Speedbooster. Same lens (Minolta 58mm @ f2), same exposure (1/60 sec), same ISO (12,800). The results pretty much speak for...

    SANITY X - High Bitrate Versiion of Sanity

    Here is Sanity X, a new high bit rate version of Sanity. Sanity X tops out at 100M, but like earlier versions of Sanity, it only uses as much bit rate as necessary to reach it's quality level (which in this case is damn near ultimate). If there is not much movement or noise in the scene, the bit...

    AF100A - 60P HDMI Output During Recording?

    Studying the AF100A brochure, I see that it outputs 60P over HDMI. But it's never stated whether this is during recording or only playback. Can someone confirm by personal experience that it outputs 60P during RECORDING. And if it does, is it 422? Thanks!

    AC160 How Good Is the STABILIZER?

    How good is the stabilizer in the AC160/130 for steadicam-like walking shots with the lens set at full wide angle? I would be interested to hear any experiences people have had with it. By comparison, I've used the 18-200mm kit lens (which comes with the Sony FS700), and it does a pretty good...

    F5: LightWeight F5 / F55

    What would you guys suggest as ways to make the F5 / 55 as lightweight as possible? What battery weighs the least? I don't care about run times. What viewfinder or monitor weighs the least? Any tricks would be welcome to shed the pounds.

    GH3 Is my GH3 Defective?

    The OLED screen on my GH3 doesn't open up to a full 180 degrees. In itself, this isn't a big deal. But when I tilt the screen up or down, it results in strange angles that are somewhat inconvenient to work with. Is this normal? Does the flip out screen on your GH3 look like this?
