Tascam DR-10C - recorder for lavaliers
Backup attenuated track is great! It's a shame that Jucedlink seems to be late on their release schedule. I was waiting for it, too, even though their price is a mystery. There are no pictures of its rear side. Does it have a belt-clip?

Panasonic GX7 aka GX2, with IBIS topic
I've figured out how to solve the 1/50 limit problem described on the previous page. There is Clear Sports Shots mode among the SCENE modes where camera automatics behaves exactly I want it to. It allows manual WB and dynamically slows down sh…

Panasonic GX7 aka GX2, with IBIS topic
That doesn't help. In A mode it also has 1/50 speed limit. I only can lock shutter to 1/25 in S or M mode. But that's not right for an unattended B-camera shooting concert. Why having strong motion blur all the time if there's enough…

Panasonic GX7 aka GX2, with IBIS topic
Guys, here are some pics to illustrate the problem I described few posts earlier. The GX7 does not allow shutter speeds slower than 1/50 in P mode resulting in 1 stop darker picture than iAuto or M mode with maximum aperture, 1/25 and ISO 3200. Is …

It might also have been a testing of a new camera with a new sensor and video capabilities. Just prototypes made in EM1 body solely for testing purpose.

Samsung NX1, $1300 4K flagman
Not shabby at all, I must admit. But they ruined it with 30 min time limit. A year from now every other camera will have 4K. So, that's not a big deal to make me rush. I'd rather be excited if someone makes an affordable camera with global…

The latest rumor debunks the previous rumor that debunked the rumor before it. The conspiracy plot thickens. Now there are two groups of testers: those who tested still features whose firmware leaked and a secret group of video centric testers. Ha-h…

Microsoft and Google - "real" competition
Sure. And there is shadow banking, unregulated OTC financial markets. There is narco money, after all and many other things we can't read on a public balance sheet. But my point is that even the public data, which is for sure just the tip of th…

Just got this camera off personal-view.com deals. I like low light performance compared to my good old GH2s but there's one serious limitation I've encountered. In P mode the camera doesn't allow the shutter speed to go below 1/50. I…

Official GH2 "Stalin" hack development topic
Yes, it is. Your camera can be made PAL/NTSC switchable with the hack. In PAL mode you can chose between 24p, 25p and 50i. The only limitation is that an SD card that has files recorded in NTSC mode needs to be reformatted after switching to PAL.

Built-in is not very good idea. It would be great to have a hot shoe mount with accessories port instead. That gives user a choice. Personally I'm in need for an audio in rather than an EVF.

2K BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera, active m43, $995
BM has listened to my prayers! Finally they have decent encoding options that do not gobble memory for most of my uses. I'm considering getting one for shooting concerts to use it as a general wide shot cam. What always stopped me was the ~50…

GH4 4K Panasonic video camera, official topic
The biggest annoyance of all Panasonic m43 cameras to me is the inability to use AE Lock button while recording video. You can set it prior to pushing rec button, but once you unlock it during recording you cannot reactivate it. Have they fixed that…

Mr. Yakusuni who posted the alleged translation has zero activity on YT. Kinda suspicious. Anybody understands Japanese here? Aren't they discussing last night at a strip joint?

You can import animated obj sequences into Element 3D. But E3D doesn't have a particle generator with emitter and such. You can make a flock of flies, you can manipulate that flock, expand or shrink it or create various turbulences, but you can…

Do we really need the GH4 and 4:2:2, 10 bit, 4K, Raw file? GH1 and GH2 still rock for me
@CFreak You have misconception about what 12 bit vs 8 bit does. There's no difference in dynamic range whatsoever. If the sensor delivers, say, 13 stops of DR it will be still 13 stops of latitude between the darkest shadow and the brightest hi…

Well, I definitely DON'T need 4:4:4, RAW and other such stuff. I played with 4:2:2 uncompressed few years ago when people were building HDMI recording backpack rigs for HV20, which I also did. I think most of the people just don't realize …

That was my misconception, sorry, folks. I'm still in the process of figuring out how it works. What the ring on the adapter actually does is pulling the lever on the lens that gradually opens the aperture blades from wide-open to user set valu…
