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

Looks like Zacuto’s EVF is a very popular item. https://zacuto.com/products/sony-z300-z-finder?srsltid=AfmBOopdKYPopeaLqhSiPPbOskA7uJ906dBi_8w1A0ZxGCCNh2Odfu9C

Looks like Zacuto heard your cries. https://www.cined.com/zacuto-z-finder-introduced-for-the-sony-pxw-z300/

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.

I use the same setup.

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU6LfXNeQM4 Enjoy.

I recently retired my 20 year old Sennheiser EW500 G1 kit. Always had to carry a lot of spare 9v batteries. Over the years probably spent more on 9V batteries than the G1 cost. The G1 was very power hungry.

This past weekend I was at a fund raising event for Ukraine. All of the local tv stations had a reporter and cameraman at the event. Three of the four cameramen were using Flowtech tripods. A few months ago I also bought a Aktiv8/Flowtech 75 kit. No complaints, works as advertised. I find the...
