NAB is always full of exciting gear announcements and reveals, and this year was no different. Our specialists posted lots of great coverage from the show floor, which you can check out in our dedicated NAB 2014 category. Even if you didn't get a chance to attend, you can still get a feel for some of the show's highlights by checking out the videos below.

Canon has just announced the newest addition to its Cinema Lens lineup, the Cine-Servo CN7x17 KAS S, and we were lucky enough to spend some time it. While sharing the naming convention of a traditional ENG lens, this new 4K Super35 lens shares the same heritage as the popular Cinema Zooms with a versatile 17mm - 120mm (T2.95-3.9) range.

Canon has had great C300 and C500 simulators available on their site for a while now, allowing users to explore the full menus and function buttons on the camera.

Over the last several months Canon has been announcing updates to their EOS Cinema line of cameras. Canon has definitely shown a firm commitment to upgrading their cameras in response to user feedback. With so many recent updates, and more on the way, we wanted to put together a quick timeline for each of their cameras.

Have you ever found yourself wondering about the image a particular camera and lens would produce? Well, if you have your phone on you, there's now an easy way to find out. DIRE Studio has released an app called Mark II Artist's Viewfinder, which has the ability to preview and capture hundreds of camera and lens combinations.

Today, Canon announced an optional update for the C300 that will add support for the Dual Pixel Autofocus function. This update was also introduced for the C100 in November.

Now that the Blackmagic Production Camera 4K is shipping, we thought it would be a good time to follow up with our lens and accessory guide for the newest member of the Blackmagic family. With a Super 35 sensor capable of recording a QFHD (3840x2160) or HD Cinema DNG raw or ProRes files and a global shutter, the Production Camera 4K should prove to be an invaluable tool to have in your camera arsenal.

In one of my previous posts, I discussed using the Canon C100 with the Atomos Ninja 2 recorder, but what I didn't touch on was how to rig up this combo for real-world shooting. Kitting cameras is always challenging because every camera operator shoots a bit differently. When building a camera rig, it is essential to get the ergonomics right to ensure operator comfort and ease-of-use.

Canon has Look Up Tables (LUTs) on their website for their Cinema EOS line of cameras – the C100, C300 and C500. These LUTs are designed to convert from Canon Log to Rec709 or Cineon. Originally, they were published with only the C300 in mind, but they were later updated to work for the C100 and C500 as well.
