Nikon D4
Lately there have been a lot of speculations about the imminent appearance of the Nikon D800. However, it is the professional series of the brand that was launched first. Its characteristics and performance has left no one indifferent. The Nikon D4 has a robust and professional body, something that Nikon knows how to do. It was now also introduced with a variety of connections, some very innovative like the WLan or headphone output. The sensor maintains its Full Frame size 24x36mm and increases its resolution to 16.2 million pixels. I’m pleased that this increase was minor – it will...
Read MoreCanon 1Dx. Too many questions
The launch of Canon’s new 1DX raises a bunch of questions about the video function. We all expected great improvements in this aspect, in this model and in the future of Canon 5D Mark III. But maybe the Nippon brand will not fulfill our expectations with their first release. There is no indication that the Canon 5D Mark III will have more features or be more advanced than this 1DX that just came out, and many details about its capability in video mode are still not clear. It’s possible to choose between two types of compression, a more adequate one for editing (intraframe, ALL-i) and...
Read MoreCanon C300, The revolution?
Everything indicated that November 3rd would be the Canon Day, the day on which the brand known for its DSLR cameras would make history with its new digital movie camera, the C300. But the timid specification sheet that accompanies the camera with its high price ($ 20,000), leave many people feeling sceptical. But this date will maybe be remembered for another reason, because on November 3rd, RED finally presented the Scarlet-X, the camera that has all the features that the users were in need of during the last 2 years. RAW video recording, real 4k sensor, super35, a robust body – all...
Read MoreRED Scarlet-X
Todo parecía indicar que el 3 de noviembre sería el día de Canon, el dia en el que esta marca conocida por sus cámaras DSLR pasaría a hacer história por su nueva cámara de cine digital, la C300. Pero la tímida hoja de especificaciones que acompaña a dicha cámara junto a su alto precio (20.000$), no parecen haber judado a su favor. Esto podría haber sido un simple “pero” de no haber sido porque ayer mismo, RED presentaba por fin la nueva Scarlet X, una cámara que si trae todo lo que el usuario estaba demandando en los ultimos meses, como grabación en RAW, 4k reales,...
Read MoreCanon DSLR Cinema
It seems that Canon has kept an ace up his sleeve. The appearance of the Canon 1DX, the camera that seemed to end the dualism between 1D and 1Ds in the professional range, got some professionals a little confused as its “only” 18mpxl seemed too insufficient to replace the veteran 1Ds Mark III. It also didn´t seem to bring substantial improvements in the video mode. Likewise, the introduction of the new digital movie camera, the C300, has left most of the followers of the brand with a bitter taste in their mouths because of its poor characteristics and high price. But Canon can...
Read MoreShoot for Istockphoto or Getty Images
One of the great opportunities that the Internet has given to the world of audiovisual production is that it has made it possible to work for some clients that you never have the chance to meet with in person. That´s what the stock agencies are offering – the freedom to produce what ever you like while they will take care of the distribution and sales. I used to work with iStockphoto myself. But I recently started cooperating with Getty Images where the standards are much higher, the jobs are more demanding, the clients are more prestigeous, and of course, pay much more than in...
