Clint Milby | 08/24- 10:32 AM

Two new cameras with truly innovative features

image

If there is a war between manufacturers for the greatest share of the HDSLR market, then Sony is launching a shock and awe campaign with no end in sight. Their latest assault, the second in a month, is the announcement of two new DSLRs, the α55 and α33. These two cameras seem to aggressively target the Canon T2i and 7D head on.

My Love Affair with Alexa

Art Adams | 08/20- 03:13 PM

When the camera sees more than my light meter does, it’s time to acknowledge that the game has truly changed.

My dream HD camera records footage with log-encoded gamma to ProRes for a fast, easy and accessible post workflow and cost-effective color grading. It has the simplest control interface ever. It sees in the dark. And it’s built by a company whose gear I learned to trust early in my career when I started out as a camera assistant. The company is ARRI, and the camera is Alexa.

The Terence & Philip Show

Terence Curren | 08/14- 11:27 AM

Philip Hodgetts and I bring our not-politically-correct opinions on Avid, Adobe, Apple, post production, production, distribution and pretty much anything we want to talk about.

I have been nagged to create and maintain a blog for years, but lets face it, I’m too lazy for that. So when Philip Hodgetts suggested we do a weekly show where we can talk about anything, I realized this was a great way to actually blog. And do it with someone who is smarter than I am. 4 episodes in and counting… check out The Terence & Philip Show.

Low Light: Do HDSLRs Really Rule?

Adam Wilt | 08/01- 02:53 PM

Comparing Canon HDSLRs to video and cine cameras at high ISOs.

The blogosphere is all a-twitter (and the twitterers are all blogging) about how good HDSLRs are in low light. I thought it would be interesting to compare the Canon 5D Mk II and Canon 7D with a couple of video cameras as well the RED ONE M and M-X, and see just how well they all perform at high ISO settings.

Review: Panasonic AG-HPX370 1/3” 3-MOS P2 HD Camcorder

Adam Wilt | 07/29- 12:00 AM

The HPX370 offers 50/60Hz AVC-Intra and DV-format recording, and improves noise, sensitivity, and skew over the HPX300.

Panasonic AG-HPX370

The Panasonic AG-HPX370 (US$11,700 list; $9,200 street price) is a 1/3” 3-MOS shoulder-mount HD camcorder with interchangeable lenses. It records everything from 480i to 1080p in 10-bit AVC-Intra 50/100 and 8-bit DV/DVCPRO50/DVCPROHD formats, with variable frame rates in 720p. Its MOS sensors capture a true 1920x1080 image with remarkably high sensitivity and low noise; and its “rolling shutter” skew is comparable to other affordable high-quality CMOS cameras like the PMW-EX series Sonys.

Drobo Delivers Data Defense

Sara Frances | 05/26- 10:09 AM

Super Heroic efforts rule the digital universe,

where we’re all acquiring and creating media at an alarming rate—media that requires vast amounts of storage space. If your clients are like mine, they are remarkably unsophisticated, sometimes even careless, about how and why to protect the valuable images we make for them. Drobo® changes all that. When they come crying to you, wouldn’t it be great to be the hero and say, “yes, I’ve got you covered!”

Last week Studio Daily published my Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 review. It’s a longie but a goodie as I tried to go into detail about what I really like and what I kinda don’t like about this brand new Premiere Pro. I had been pounding it hard on several projects before writing the review. I have had a few questions about exactly what kind of jobs I’ve been working on with it.
