Vincent Laforet says “NAB 2010 kicks off tomorrow – and you should expect some pretty fantastic announcements from a wide variety of companies. I know of quite a few – but am sworn to secrecy for at least another 12 hours or so.”
Philip Bloom is presenting at NAB 2010: “Shooting with the Canon EOS HDSLR Camera” as we speak.
Also from abelcine:
- Marshall will be releasing a new 5″ HDMI monitor, which is exciting news for all your HDSLR shooters.
- Switronix Announces the new Powerbase 70 for Canon 7D and 5D Mark II
Zacuto is running a 3 episode series on HDSLR cameras: the Canon 5D, 7D, 1D, the Nikon D3s, Panasonic GH1. The last episode checks out low light / high ISO scenes. They even test Hyper-ISO in the “BIC lighter scene”: 640, 1250, 2500, 5000, 10000, 25650, 51200 and 102.000 ISO!!
It is clear that low light (under 1 foot-candle) conditions is where HDSLR cameras shine. They certainly say a lot of positive things about the Nikon D3s, that can film at the unreal 102.000 ISO.
Because of the limited weight of modern HDSLR cameras, they can be hard to hold still without a tripod or fixed support of some kind. To the rescue comes a very affordable ($850) hand-held Steadicam Merlin solution, designed by Garrett Brown, who created the original Steadicam.
Merlin’s design significantly reduces fatigue. So lightweight, it weighs less than a can of soda. With a compact DV, balanced and ready to go, the Merlin weighs about two pounds. Its rigid construction permits longer focal lengths than ever imaginable with a hand-held stabilizer.
