NXCAM HD camcorder under development

Sony to expand 35mm large format sensor camcorder lineup “NXCAM” HD camcorder under development, featuring E-mount lens system

Sony Corporation announced today that it is developing a new type of E-mount interchangeable lens camcorder for professional use that is equipped with a Super-35mm equivalent large format CMOS sensor. This new addition to Sony’s professional “NXCAM” line will be available in the middle of 2011.

Already a key player in the 35mm digital cinematography business with the highly acclaimed “CineAlta” F35 and SRW-9000PL for high-end digital cinema production, Sony has just strengthened its lineup in this category with the recent PMW-F3 announcement. In addition to this, with this new “NXCAM” HD camcorder now (still under development), Sony looks to further strengthen its position in the entry-level segment by providing an affordable yet highly capable professional solution for many applications including independent film, music video and corporate communications all looking for the cinematic look.

This “NXCAM” HD camcorder under development will be equipped with a Super-35mm equivalent sensor, a widely used film stock size in the film industry that is perfectly designed for capturing motion picture. This new sensor will have extraordinary performance in terms of picture quality and sensitivity, and is able to create rich “Bokeh” effect (beautifully defocused image) that is perfect for artistic story-telling in motion picture.

Thanks to the adoption of the E-mount interchangeable lens system that is identical to the “α” series NEX-5, 3 and “Handycam” NEX-VG10, the E-mount lenses will be compatible with this new professional camcorder. In addition, a very short flange back distance (the distance between lens mount surface and sensor surface) let various “α” A-mount lenses be mounted via a mount adaptor (LA-EA1). Furthermore, it is also possible to attach many other lenses using third-party mount adaptors*1. With such flexibility, users will be able to experiment with various creative expressions by exploiting the characteristics of different optics.

*1: Not all types of adaptors and lenses are guaranteed.

The recording format for this new HD camcorder will be AVCHD, a widely supported format by many non liner editing software vendors and the same format as HXR-NX5 “NXCAM” camcorder.
There is also a plan to implement 1080p (60p / 30p / 24p*2 or 50p / 25p) recording modes.
(MPEG4-AVC/H.264 compression will be used for these modes.)

Panasonic AF101 Video

Hirano San was the lovely driver who took us around Kyoto, Japan. This is a film I made of the day in a very rushed, episodic day of going to place to place.

I was there with 5 other shooters (which makes it much harder to shoot as you are tripping over each other!) as guests of Pansonic to test out their 95% finished Panasonic. AF100/101. We were there to give them honest feedback and thoughts on their new camera, not just wow, great camera! Really great idea to do this.

Read more about the trip and my thoughts on shooting with the camera on my blog, including the lenses I used and why.

Also there is a detailed audio commentary there. Worth a listen!!

D7000 vs 60D Low Light Test

I did test again (earlier one here: http://vimeo.com/16196365) to address two complaints about the earlier test, the white balance and the focus. The white balance was set to Auto before, leading to two different color temperatures. This time I set the white balance on both to 3300k (3330k on the Nikon, because it doesn’t have 3300k). Also, some people thought that the Canon looked improbably soft in comparison to the Nikon, so I made sure to triple check the focus this time. Both lenses are set to infinity and looked focused through the viewfinder and when zoomed in on the LCD.

The lenses are the same Zeiss Distagon 35mm f/2 on each camera. The tripods are also the same.

Thanks to Marco for taking the time to provide his technical expertise.

I posted more thoughts about the test on Adorama’s blog (http://bit.ly/9OEOzu) and my own Tumblr (nathanleebush.tumblr.com).

New Atlas 10 LTS - DSLR Slider

Since introducing the extremely popular Atlas 30 and Atlas 200 LTS systems, folks have been asking for a center mount version that is just as smooth (well almost) as the Atlas 30 and 200 systems but lighter, faster to setup and less expensive. Introducing Atlas 10. As far as price, we’re hoping to satisfy a lot of folks by launching the system with a starting tag under $500.

We’re very proud to introduce Atlas 10, a full ball bearing linear tracking system that features the uber-cool all terrain foot system, no less than 7 tripod mount plate locations, micro-adjust non-marking feet, vertical operation and yes, even vertical counter-balanced operation. With a non-reflective, black satin anodized finish, full CNC aluminum/steel construction, and stainless steel fasteners, you can expect a lifetime of reliable operation.

Pre-orders now available at http://www.cinevate.com/atlas10
