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...
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.

Went to B&H’s BILD Expo at the Javits Center today. The show was jam packed with attendees. Reminded me of the old Photo Plus Expo days. The Expo trade show was about 50% still photography and 50% video/cinematography. I was surprised by the amount of high end pro video equipment on display...
I just watched a Nova documentary on my local PBS station on how the human brain perceives what the eye sees or the ear hears. The part dealing with human vision, color, and sound was fascinating.

This morning I was logged into my Facebook account replying to a message in the Z CAM E2 user group. All of a sudden I got this Facebook pop up stating my Facebook account has been canceled. The ZCAM E2 user group is the primary reason I am on Facebook. I have never posted any political or in...
With the latest CX350 firmware update (v2.01) Panasonic has enabled audio channels 3&4 recording. On my camera channels 3&4, which I believe are the camera's internal mics, appear to be always enabled which I don't want. I usually have a shotgun mic connected to channel-1 and my wireless mic...
I noticed on Dec. 10, 2019 Apple released FCPX 10.4.8. I am currently running FCPX 10.4.7 on a mid 2017 27" iMac running Catalina 10.15.2. I have not been able to update FCPX to 10.4.8. Has anyone been able to do this update?
