New Blackmagic Cinema Camera footage reveals some things

Well here’s another teaser for the Blackmagic Cinema Camera. Again from John Brawley. It’s an edit of rushes, no sound.

This was shot with the lenses stopped down to around f4.0, some shots show some fringing though and others reveal something that looks like lens softness to me and I would think more open apertures were used at times. I think this suggests that the small sensor will probably bring out the worse parts in your large lenses. It would make sense as a much smaller portion of the glass is used on the Blackmagic Cinema Camera’s small sensor, but is blown up to HD resolution as we’re used to.

Only today: Canon EOS 7D -$200 at B&H

B&H offers a very interesting deal on the Canon EOS 7D body that expires today.

Regardless of the meaning of this huge sale here’s a chance to get a new 7D at a very affordable price.

Why this deal is interesting even though the new & cheaper EOS T4i/650D (Review here: LINK) offers some better features and the identical feature:
Because Canon announced a significant firmware update for the 7D that will bring manual audio during recording. Scheduled for August: LINK
And because Mosaic Engineering released their anti aliasing filter that impressed us and shows that the 7D still has balls. Review here: LINK
