"Panasonic A100 hmm? That sounds like some poverty-spec mobile phone circa 2004. Seems odd they are recycling model names." More »

The Black Magic Cinema Camera, if you remember from its surprise announcement this spring, is a £2,000 video camera that shoots 12-bit RAW 2.5k video files. No other camera on the market offers this capability at such a low price. Read More >>

Zacuto USA goes to great lengths to compare nine HD video cameras in The Revenge Of The Great Camera Shootout 2012. With all the footage shot and judged, the camera most favoured by many accomplished filmmakers—including Francis Ford Coppola—was a huge surprise. Read More >>

It's weird that topnotch DSLRs like the Canon 5D Mark III or the Nikon D800 can only shoot 30 minutes of video at a time. It's hugely frustrating that it's not a tech-based bottleneck at all. But the limit might be lifted soon—no thanks to camera companies, though. Read More >>
