After being canceled in 2020, NAB Show seems on track to return to Las Vegas from October 9-13, 2021 (at the moment anyway). Proof of vaccination is required for all attendees and masks may also be required (Clark County currently requires them in indoor public spaces)...

It seems to be some kind of proprietary connector on the EVF as it has a smoother trapezoidal shape without the more angular indents on the bottom part of a typical HDMI connector. The EVF port also appears to have more connection pins (maybe around 25 or so) as opposed to the 19 pins used in a...

My understanding of V-Log L is that it is essentially the same log curve as is used in full V-Log, but truncated in the top portion. So where full V-Log has 8-stops above and 8-stops below middle gray, V-Log L has the same 8-stops in the shadows, but only 4-stops in the highlights: On...

The Sony RX0 II is much better in terms of overheating than the original RX0 (which was terrible), but it's still capable of overheating in longer duration record especially in warmer environments. These are the recording times Sony says can be expected in the RX0 II manual: In terms of image...

You mean like the Fujifilm X-E1 from 2012? This kind of black and silver design has been a throwback trend for a while now. And I'm not actually sure that it ever really went out of style. Leica made available some version of this color scheme on pretty much every version of their M-series...

Yes, Panasonic announced several new primes in their lens roadmap along with the S5. It's a bit concerning that they don't even have tentative release dates for most of them yet though, so it's hard to say how soon they will actually be available:

There have been lots of rumors that the GH6 would use a new 41 megapixel sensor for 8K recording: https://petapixel.com/2020/05/08/rumor-panasonic-gh6-to-have-41mp-sensor-better-af-system-and-more/ And that Panasonic is working on a time-of-flight autofocus system...

The Intel 10th Generation (Ice Lake) processors and newer include support for hardware 10-bit 4:2:2 HEVC decoding as part of their Quick Sync video features: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video#Performance_and_quality Here is the matrix of hardware encoding/decoding support by...

The speculation leading up to the announcement was that the A7S III would use the Sony IMX312AQK image sensor. That sensor can do a 14-bit readout up to 43 fps or a 12-bit readout up to 144 fps in video mode: People surmised that the WW271448 model number referenced in the spec sheet (which...

Heat can definitely have an impact on image sensor performance. There is even a note about this in the R5 manual. Although it mostly discusses still photos, you'd imagine it would affect video capture as well: What remains unclear is what temperature monitoring location(s) are being used to...

That's strange, the official record limits from Canon clearly indicate that the 4K 60fps APS-C crop mode is oversampled from a 5.1K sensor readout like the 4K 24fps APS-C crop mode. So I would have expected the video quality to be largely similar between the two. Unless Canon is mis-representing...

4K 60 external not overheating was reported in Gerald Undone's original test numbers: The more recent updates to those numbers are that 4K HQ external up to 30 fps can be recorded for up to 4 hours continuously (if cards are removed from the camera). I have indicated this new information in...

Judging from Canon's overheating chart, the 4K 60p video mode on the R6 uses oversampling, while the R5 uses a reduced sensor readout for 4K 60p such as pixel binning or line skipping. So it's not a surprise that the 4K 60p on the R6 might be more detailed than the 4K 60p on the R5. With the 4K...

Selling a Litepanels Astra 4X Daylight (5600K) LED panel. This is the original Astra 1x1 panel which is now sometimes given a 4X designation in terms of light output (although according to the photometrics, it's actually about 50% brighter than the current 3X model, so maybe it should be called...
