One of my favourite Tracking Shots to date is the ‘High-Speed Human Dolly’ piece from the guys at Loaded Boards. Happily, they’re back again with another killer video, this time featuring pro longboarder, Amanda Powell. Adam Colton, who’s been putting our Atlas 10 slider to good use, had the following concept for the video;
“Amanda and I had fun and tried out an abstract video idea we hope you enjoy. Amanda Powell gets into her Ferrari and drives offs. A tragic misfortune brings her to a world she does not fully understand. The interpretation is entirely left up to you.”

Canon 1D X announced, the canon 1D X features A newly-developed full-frame 18.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor offers exceptional flexibility, ISO range of 100-51200, expandable up to 204800, new 61-point wide-area autofocus system , 41 cross-type points, including five dual cross-type points, The EOS-1D X also features a newly-designed RGB metering system, providing incredible levels of accuracy. A 100,000 pixel RGB metering sensor is linked to the AF system and powered by its own dedicated DIGIC 4 processor, detecting faces and colour to ensure correct exposure levels and improved AF tracking.
EOS-1D X is the first-ever camera to feature dual “DIGIC 5+” processors. Offering performance up to three times faster than standard DIGIC 5. The 1D X also offers 12fps continuous shooting at14fps in Super High speed shooting with continuous bursts of up to 120 large JPEG images (36 RAW).
The camera records Full HD at 1920 x 1080 in selectable frame rates of 24p (23.976), 25p, or 30p (29.97); and 720p HD or SD video recording at either 50p or 60p (59.94). SD video can be recorded in either NTSC or PAL standards.
This camera also features Dual Card Slots, a new shutter design with even greater durability and precision. Rated to 400,000 cycles.
WFT-E6 – a new, compact WiFi transmitter designed for transferring images when a wired connection isn’t available. Supporting the 802.11n WiFi standard and offering Bluetooth support for connectivity to external GPS devices, the WFT-E6 offers secure transfer of images and video to an FTP server, or the ability to display content on a compatible screen over a DLNA[4] connection.
The EOS-1D X will also be compatible with a new GPS receiver – the GP-E1. Enabling users to add location information to EXIF data and geographically track the progress of travelling shoot, the GP-E1 is particularly useful for wildlife or location-based photographers who may need to record the location of a scene for future reference.
Things to be noted:
The 1DS + 1D = 1D X
1Ds series, which delivers exceptionally high image quality, and the 1D series, which achieves superlative high-speed performance. Integrating the strengths of these two series, Canon’s new professional flagship model, the EOS-1D X, brings together the highest levels of image quality and speed performance.
Dual DIGIC 5+
The 1D X features Dual DIGIC 5+ image processors, The two new high-performance DIGIC 5+ image processors—each realizing approximately 17 times the processing power of DIGIC 4.
Canon 1D X ISO Performance Compared with the EOS-1D Mark IV’s
EOS-1D Mark IV’s sensitivity range of ISO100–12800, the EOS-1D X offers a range that has been expanded by two steps, to 100–51200
High-speed continuous shooting of up to approximately 12 frames per second with high-precision AE and AF performance.
The newly developed AF system incorporates an AF sensor with a total of 61 autofocus points for improved high-precision subject capture. The sensor includes 21 f/5.6 cross-type sensors, 20 f/4.0 cross-type sensors, and 5 f/2.8 dual cross-type sensors. Equipped with 20 f/4.0 AF points, the new camera offers the same level of precision as the EOS-1D Mark IV at f/2.8. Additionally, working in tandem with the new AE system, the camera’s EOS iTR AF (Intelligent Tracking and Recognition Auto Focus) function is capable of tracking a subject’s face or target color to maintain focus on a moving subject.
The new EOS-1D X comes equipped with a Gigabit-Ethernet connection that, when shooting in locations equipped with a wired LAN connection such as large sporting arenas, enables data to be transferred to editing desks quickly and reliably.
Pricing and Availability
The Canon EOS-1D X Digital SLR camera is scheduled for March 2012 availability and will be sold in a body-only configuration at an estimated retail price of $6,800.00. The compact, lightweight WFT-E6A Wireless File Transmitter is scheduled to be available in March 2012 and have an estimated retail price of $600. Availability for the GP-E1 GPS receiver is expected in April 2012 with an estimated retail price of $300.

Fingernail vs Full Frame sensor – iPhone 4S vs Canon 5D Mark II, The video quality of iPhone 4S is really amazing..see the comparison video (below) and share your thoughts
***You can download the full 1080p version of this video for a more accurate representation.
Here’s a “fair” test between the iPhone 4S and the Canon 5D MK II. I made a little rig that allowed me to shoot both cameras at the same time side by side. All scenes are perfectly synced together so you can pause and scrutinize the frames! See photo of the makeshift rig in the photo area.
Exposure, shutter speed, frame rate and picture style were matched as close as possible between the two cameras.
This test shows that the tiny F2.4 lens and sensor on the iPhone are pretty nice. It even got a little depth of field!
I did not note accurate 5D settings per shot because it’s pretty useless in the end for an iPhone comparison… I tried to matched the iPhone so no “Cinestyle” / 24p here.
Here are the settings:
iPhone 4S
– AE.AF locked. That’s all you have!
Canon 5D MKII
– Canon 50mm 1.4
– ISO 160 ~ 640 (varied per shot to match the iPhone)
– F 7~22 (varied per shot to match the iPhone)
– Shutter 1/60th
– Auto WB
