    Canon R6 mk2

    https://www.usa.canon.com/shop/p/eos-r6-mark-ii?color=Black&type=New Kind of surprised nobody talked about this one on here. I consider this a rather significant update on the video side for a few great reasons. 1. No 30 minute record limit 2. No overheating for 4k 24p, 25p and 30p. 4k 60p...

    New iPad Pro XDR even better

    Apple just announced the updated XDR iPad Pro. Some performance improvements from the M2 chip but to me as one who edits HDR its the display thats the most exciting. I have the current XDR iPad Pro along with a 14" XDR MBP and I absolutely love them for grading HDR. Sure not 100% perfect but I...

    Forget the iPhone 11 Pro as the budget game changer. This is!

    https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/atemmini As one who used to do a ton of live video switching and live video streaming this is the biggest game changer I have ever seen. Not only is the hardware itself full of great features but plug the USB into a computer and you get switcher...

    Responsive or mobile friendly

    It sure would be nice if the site could be responsive. Not only does Google negatively hit search results for websites that are not responsive but it is an absolute nightmare to use Dvxuser on my phone. I realize the site is at the mercy of whatever content management system is being used to...

    [WTB] Wanted Atomos Ninja Blade. Will trade a Panasonic GH3 body for it.

    Looking to get a Atomos Ninja Blade. I have a Panasonic GH3 body I no longer use that I could trade for it. I was going to sell the GH3 but figured I would see if a trade worked for anybody first. That we we both get more value for the trade vs selling the older gear.

    New 4k version of BMD Video Assist

    https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/blackmagicvideoassist Looks like a nice product but it may have a hard time standing out in an already crowded field. The price is now the lowest point of entry for a 4k recorder/monitor but the monitor portion itself may be far below the quality and...

    GH4 Shane Hurlbut tests V-log on the GH4

    Shane just released an interesting test of V-log on the GH4. https://www.hurlbutvisuals.com/blog/2016/03/panasonic-lumix-dmc-gh4-vlog-l-latitude-test-cinematography-education/ Its interesting that he suggests under exposing by a single stop. That sort of goes against a lot of the information...

    GH4 External HDMI down converted to HD quality

    Anybody else finding the down converted HDMI signal and recording it to a external recorder a bit too sharp? I finally got around to comparing a 10bit external recording 1080p ProRes422 HQ to internal 4k down converted to 1080p. What I found was that not only did the ProRes version have more...

    GH4 GH4 OIS vs Olympus E-M5 Mark 2 OIS

    For those that insist lens based optical stabilization is better. Here is to hoping Panasonic eventually adds OIS to the camera body in the GH5. I understand Panasonic is invested in lens based stabilization but considering the issues they have been plagued with the OIS on their 12-35 and...

    GH3 Nice affordable camera bag for a rigged camera?

    I'm getting tired of not ever really finding the perfect camera bag for my GH3. I have owned numerous DSLR bags which works great but don't work for a rigged camera. I use the Honu cage with a Kamerar loupe designed to work with the Honu cage. I also use a set of rails with a matte box and...

    GH3 Rokinon 85mm f1.4 native m4/3 mount now for sale at B&H

    http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=1018527&Q=&is=REG&A=details Anybody try out this lens yet? From my understanding it is the same lens that has been available for a couple of years now in other more common mounts such as Canon and Nikon. B&H now has a native m4/3 mount...

    New toy Tamron 28-300 Nikon D mount! Great lens so far!

    Just received my new toy. Well not so new but newer than vintage glass. The Tamron 28-300 Nikon D mount super zoom. I have always felt the Nikon D mounts could be a good compromise between the vintage lens users and the modern electronic lens users. Vintage is great but of course can be a...

    Creative and practical uses for different focal ranges?

    I am starting to rethink the way I use lenses on my GH2. In the past I was so focused on zooms to replace the world of video cameras I came from. I was used to shooting with 2/3" professional video cameras and loosing the zoom was something I just couldn't do. Now that I have invested in some...

    Nikon 50mm f1.8D vs older Canon FD 50mm f1.8?

    I have had a Canon FD 50mm f1.8 for awhile now and always felt it was a great lens. Since I'm using more Lumix lenses these days the softer look hasn't been as good of a match. I thought about buying one of the newer Nikon 50mm F1.8D lenses. These are still super cheap but from what I read...

    Nikon mount Vivitar 28mm f1.9 for $20.00 worth it?

    I was just starting to get out of using older lenses since M4/3 lenses can be so much easier to use. I however have an option to buy a Nikon mount Vivitar 28mm f1.9 lens that seems to be in decent shape. I do love the look of older glass and for the money I'm thinking it is really worth the...

    ALL: Comparison between HMC40

    I love my HMC40 but it does suffer in low light. Any word on comparison between the 130/160 and the HMC40? Also how well does the gain hold up? On the HMC40 the gain can be pushed to 12db with little noise.

    Vivitar FD 75 - 210 mm f3.5 Series 1 mounting issues

    I hope somebody can help me out. I just bought a an old Vivitar 75 - 210mm f3.5 Series 1 lens that I hoped to use my Fotodioz adapter with for my GH1. I currently use the adapter with a Canon FD 50mm f1.8 lens and it works perfectly. No issues at all mounting the lens to my GH1. With the...
