Via Engadget, Canon has announced the EOS 60D. And it’s got a flip-out screen. From the site: Well, what do we have here?

Here’s what we know about the 50D successor (with definite nods to the Rebel T2i’s feature set): the 18-megapixel […]

State Of The Art : HDSLRs In 2010
It’s been nearly two years since Canon, Nikon and Panasonic started putting high-definition video technology into some of their medium-priced DSLR cameras. They did this without realizing how useful these new cameras could be to the professional filmmaking community. Tim Smith of Canon USA recently joked in an interview that most of the filmmakers he’d met did not know where to find the still-photograph function on their new cameras. In a way he’s right, but at this year’s NAB it was apparent that it is camera manufacturers who need to figure out how to make videography an even more efficient function on […]

Zacuto’s DSLR Shootout
Zacuto, which rents HD cameras and DSLR camera accessories, gathered professional DPs and colorists for a “DSRL Shootout.” They compared the Canon 7D, 5D Mark 2, ID, the Panasonic GH1 and Nikon D3s and compared them to footage shot on Kodak and Fuji stock. The results were evaluated by a range of DPs, including indie cinematographers and ASC members, at AFI and Skywalker Ranch. The results are pretty astonishing. The first episode, a 35-minute piece in which all of these camera’s latitude are examined, is up but it’s not embeddable. See it at the link above. The trailer, however, is […]
