The Canon XC10 is a remarkable addition to the Canon line. It delivers 4K video in an ultra-lightweight and unobtrusive package, making it an ideal camera for documentary filmmakers and photo journalists.

One of the surprise announcements from this year's NAB show was the Canon XC10, a 4K-capable camera with the ability to capture both stills and video. What is especially striking about this camera is the picture quality, as well as its unbelievable size.

At NAB 2015 I reported on Sennheiser's AVX system, which includes a lavalier mic, transmitter and receiver. What makes this system unique is the fact that it is able to set its own levels.

The Ninja Assassin is the latest addition to the Atomos line of monitors/recorders. The Ninja Assassin is a 4K ProRes recorder with many of the same features as its big brother the Shogun, but with HDMI input and output only, no SDI.

At AbelCine, we often use the term "stills to motion" to describe a still photographer making the transition to cinematography. We've held various events and tours based on this concept, and we've fielded recurring questions around shooting simultaneous stills and video. Many of the shooters we speak to would prefer to focus on either stills or motion, but are often asked by their clients to provide both.
