Canon C500 with Gemini 4K hands on | Mike Sutton | Wide Open Camera
For myself and what I shoot the C500 makes a lot of sense and does not lock me into a codec on the back end like the options from Red do. I want a clean uncompressed RAW 2K and 4K output that I can record to whatever codec I choose and the C500 offers me that latitude. It is a huge consideration when making an investment like this and it looks beyond the needs of today which is why my wife and I got one.
Putting 4K to Work | Craig Johnston | TV Technology
Another use for the Sony F65:
Fox Sports is already using a 4K camera as part of its “A-Game” NFL telecast retinue. The excess resolution (to a 720p production) supplied by the Sony F65 digital cinematography camera is critical to the sports network’s “Super Zoom” feature.
The 4K debate (Updated) | Philip Jonhston | HD Warrior
For film work and cinema presentations 4k and 8K are perfect but films do get bigger budgets to accommodate the lengthy expensive editing workflows, I also agree the better the picture you start off with etc. the better the end result, even downscaled onto SD but there comes a limit to primary quality like 4K hampering your workflow and extra expensive hardware needed to monitor a 4K picture.

Looking at the VG900, our readers are speculating on whether you will make a full frame E-mount stills-oriented camera. What can you say to them?
MW: The VG900 demonstrated that the E-mount lens mount can support a full frame sensor. Building the lenses that can cover a full frame imaging circle at that flange back distance is another matter. We'll see.

Sony HDR-AS15 Action Cam POV Test 120 fps. Gaff Taped To A Boxing Glove
| Jared Abrams | Wide Open Camera
The idea was to gaff tape the camera to a boxing glove to get direct contact POV shots at 120 fps. The headband mount worked great for the reverse angle. The Sony Action Cam held up just OK for interior shots. Even though it felt like we had enough light we needed tons more. It works great for its intended use, outdoor extreme sports with lots of light.

Flexing Your Fundamentals: Cinematography and Composition with Shane Hurlbut | Dave Kendricken | NoFilmSchool
Shane’s post illustrates, among other things, the flexibility of the Two-Shot (pictured above). He emphasizes that for the most part, his preferred angles of attack are simply variations on “classic frames” honed to his aesthetic tastes — and whatever the scene might call for. He says that a good foundation for developing a trademark visual sensibility lies in the fundamentals of framing.
Commercials Capture the Essence of the Times | Videomaker
If you're working on a commercial shoot, take some time to watch some of the commercials currently playing on television. How are they pitching their products? What's their message?
