From Sebastian Wiegartner
German filmaker Sebastian Wiegärtner has spent some time with the new Canon C300 and compares its noise performance against the Sony F3. At the end he also throws in the Canon 7D for good measure.
from Wiegartnerfilms
I like the form factor of the C300, wow, what a bummer. But I also like the superb image out of my Sony F3 with S-Log and the ability shooting 4:4:4 1080p with 60 frames per seconds. You can get a Sony F3 with S-Log for € 13,900 in Europe (without external recorder ...

Following on from my last post about focal length being a focal length no matter what camera it is on and it’s the equivalent field of view that matters I have put together a short video showing the same shot on two different cameras. The AF-101 and the Sony F3 at 2 different focal lengths.
The Sony F3 has a native Super 35 chip in it (24.89mm×18.66mm) and the Panasonic AF101 has a micro four thirds chip in it (18×13.5mm but 4:3 size so smaller in 16×9) so the equivalent field of view on the ...

Good news from the camcorder front. Sony today released firmware version 1.1 which fixes a number of F3 niggles. First off you can now output HDMI and SDI simultaneously which is great news. Now you can plug in your Zacuto EVF for monitoring and send out a nice HD-SDI signal to a KiPro mini or something similar. Something that was much needed from the camera.
YPbPr4:2:2 1920×1080 (23.98/ 25/ 29.97PsF) 10-bit outputs are now supported (Dual Link Terminal-A only)

Since I had never attended NAB before, my good friends Khalid Mohtaseb and Jon Bregel saw to it that I joined them on this trip. It’s great that I did. We got ourselves into an adventure that could only be described as a digital ...

Yes I am still in Vegas. NAB did end about 5 days ago but I stayed on to chill out after my epic tour with Canonfilmmakerslive.com and the exhausting NAB. I still have a blog to put up of my highlights but before I do that this is pretty special.
I shot with the Sony F3 back at Christmas for fun with my sister. As a former EX1 owner and still a current EX3 user and also lover of large chips of the DSLR it was a lovely experience. Low light was simply stunning. So clean at 3200 ISO. ...
