Why the Nikon D4 excites me…please don’t let me down!
Read more in my full ethics statement here. I have been using Nikon DSLRs longer than I have Canon ones. I shot my first DSLR video with the rather poor video function of the Nikon D90. I have bought the D3s for it’s (still not beaten) low light video function, the D7000 and D5100 and...

EDIT: PART 1 is now live! I decided to break it down into two parts as it’s too damn long! I will start editing part 2 tomorrow, it will be up within the week hopefully. I would like to have included the Scarlet but as I didn’t know anyone in the UK with...

Booths and Bodies: Short documentary shot on Sony NEX 5N
Right off the back of shooting an Epic (forgive the pun) corporate doco for Kessler Crane with the Epic, F3, AF100, on my way back home I stopped off at a friend of Sarah’s from when she lived in the US, Anthony Vizzari. Anthony has an amazing story to tell, and you can read about...
FINALLY the full frame Canon 1DX DSLR featuring “improved video”.
We have all been waiting for the replacement for the 1Ds mkIII for some time. Initial rumours had it coming out September last year. Well it looks like that is not coming out, instead we have the renamed Canon 1Dx. The first full frame DSLR to shoot full HD video since the 3...
November 3rd…are the planets converging?! Canon S35 camcorders! Red Scarlet goes on sale! Also Nikon bring out mirror-less cameras!
EDIT: Lots of buzz, lots of speculation but some is more credible than others…This is what I have collated from unnamed sources. Seems pretty solid though, but we shall see…I rarely comment on rumours but this has a very strong ring of truth about it…Of course if it isn’t any of the below you will...
“Bad is Bad” full length feature film on Vimeo for FREE Shot on 7D

Sony enters the video DSLR revolution FINALLY…a bit late but not too late!
What took you so long, Sony? It’s been almost 3 years since Nikon came out with the (admittedly, a bit poo) video function on the Nikon D90, and then Canon with their sexy as hell 5DmkII that just got better with updates (when they gave it manual control and 24p) There have been attempts at...

A patent published recently shows that the company is looking into building biological detectors into its cameras, allowing the camera to automatically change settings and trigger the shutter based on things like heart rate and blood pressure. For example, at a sporting...
