Today I stopped by the Atomos booth to speak with Jeromy Young about their recently-announced Shogun and Ninja Flame recorders. As we mentioned in our previous TechByte, both these models feature the AtomHDR engine, but the Shogun Flame will accept SDI, RAW and HDMI signals, while the Ninja Flame will accept HDMI signals.

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.

With the capability of the Canon C100 and the newly updated 5D Mark III to output uncompressed video with 422 color, the two cameras can both be set up with the Ninja 2 recorder from Atomos.

The Canon EOS 5D Mark II undoubtedly kicked off the large-sensor-in-a-small-body movement, so it's no surprise that Canon would carry this momentum forward with the EOS-1D C. While the Mark II started as a still camera that conveniently shot video, it's apparent that the 1D C was built with filmmakers in mind. As the first HDSLR with 4K and LOG recording capabilities, the 1D C introduces new possibilities for productions of any size.

Sony's new NEX-FS700 camera builds upon the success of the NEX-FS100, but adds some much-requested features and a few surprises as well.The feature set is very similar to the FS100, so most lenses and accessories will be fully compatible between the two. In this article, we present the various accessories and lens options that can be used with the camera.
