NAB 2011 - CamerasIn which I look obsessively at a Swedish design statement, almost to the exclusion of all else.
The obligatory Sony F65 photo.There wasn’t one overall theme to the NAB camera announcements. 4K cameras and HD-resolution LSS (large single sensor) cameras shared the spotlight with workaday small-sensor cameras packing ever more features into the same sorts of form factors we’ve seen for years. But Sony did make a leap into uncharted waters with the NEX-FS100, while Ikonoskop’s A-cam dII throws out all the rules, rethinking camera design from square one.

If you’re gonna shoot S3D, why not watch S3D? Dual PMW-F3s on a mirror rig.I’m a Chauncey Gardner when it comes to 3D: I like to watch. But as long as stereo 3D requires a bulky mirror rig, or a data cart like the one below, watching is all I’m likely to do. Fortunately, NAB shows that I’m not the only one who feels that way: there were plenty of [somewhat more] practical solutions for shooting stereo. more »NAB 2011 - RecordersOn-camera recording devices, plus the end of tape?

I was a bit stretched for ideas that would illustrate this concept… and then an eclipse happened. Why that made a difference is a very interesting story…
