Sony's enormously flexible PXW-FS7 has been shipping for about eight months now and is very well received at many different levels of the market. With its two shooting modes -- Custom and CINE-EI -- this camera is well suited to a wide variety of productions and applications.
Now that the Sony a7S is out in the field and shooting, we thought it would be a good time to put together a lens and accessory guide for this powerful new addition to the line of Sony mirrorless cameras.
Deciding on the perfect zoom lens isn't always easy, but we've created this chart to make the job a little easier. You can compare lenses based on weight, image coverage, maximum aperture, budget and more. Download the latest version of the chart.
Zeiss announced last week that they would be showing off a prototype of their servo unit for compact zooms at IBC this year and during the show I was able to stop by their booth and take a look.
At this year's IBC show, Zeiss will be showing off a prototype servo unit that is compatible with all three Compact Zoom lenses. Designed specifically for the CZ.2 15-30 T2.9, 28-80 T2.9, and 70-200 T2.9, the servo features a pressure-sensitive rocker for smooth zoom control and an integrated aperture motor for auto-iris (if supported by camera).
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.
