October 2011
Over the past 3 years I have had the opportunity to shoot with a lot of cameras. Of them, I have found my favorite to be the old 7D. Sure it was my first video DSLR, sure 4 other Canon HDSLRs have been released since the 7D was birthed into the world. Sure, its not full frame, doesn’t have a flip out screen, yet it still takes 1st in my mind.
Allow me to expound.

I wish I could have made it out for the Master Cinema Launch that took place recently. But thanks to Matt Jeppson of FreshDV we can all get a peak at what was announced and released. One thing that interested me was the seemingly obnoxious EVF tilt mechanism that Shane shows off. While it is huge, I can see how useful it could be in certain enviornments. Clever stuff. Take a peak via the video below.

Well kids, its arrived. Canon has announced the 1D X. This news is bittersweet. And here is why:
- Full Frame Sensor = SWEET
- Longer Record Time = Sweet
- Timecode = Pretty Cool
- More Audio Control Features = Sweet
- Price Tag of $7000 = Bitter
For that price I would not buy one. I want one but I would not buy it. For that money I could almost buy a Sony FS100 AND a 5D…
So I am left with an even stronger desire to see a new 5D. Looks like we might get a few spec updates at least similar to this new 1D. Heres hoping.

Those who know me well know I can easily get choked up during movies. I can’t watch Dear Frankie without losing it. Watching this time-lapse I kinda had a double rainbow moment.
Do yourself a favor and check this video out:

Just the other day on twitter Sam Fack shared some pictures of a track he built for his Cinemover. I’ve been looking for something like this myself and was quite impressed with it. It looks like something that could easily be used with a couple light stands or tripods. Great job Sam!
Check out his tutorial below and a some footage he shot using it.
