OK, I admit it, on Windows I used the complicated but powerful Sony Vegas Pro, but on the Mac, I’ve been living with iMovie for years because it was pretty easy to use and quick to get nice looking output. But now with these fancy cameras (and greater awareness on…

I have an old  Canon camcorder (a *massive* 40GB hard disk, well it was in 2006!) that produces MTS files at 720×480 or 640×480 and it turns out iMovie processes these correctly. Shooting video settings. On my 5D2, I put in a special cinestyle designed just for video. Rungunshoot.com and…

I have an old  Canon camcorder (a *massive* 40GB hard disk, well it was in 2006!) that produces MTS files at 720×480 or 640×480 and it turns out iMovie processes these correctly. However, the new RX100 produces these same strange files. Here are the oddities: When you connect you RX100…

I’ve always thought that IMAX was better in the non 3d world and normally go there then cinerama but with IMAX 3d in regular theaters I’m wondering. Here is what folks say about a 3D comparison. Basically in commercials 3d it sort of depends. Some of the IMAX are absolutely…

Spent the afternoon listening to Asian YouTube artists. Wow I’m impressed. Jwcfree for acoustic guitar Musicneversleeps aka Jason Chen Lilcdawg Kina grannis. Sharon Kwan Claracmusic David choi It’s like Xmas in YouTube land. No auto tune. Real production values. Love it!

We have nearly all these game consoles (xBox, PS3, Wii) and for some reason, I have to say, these new announcements (xBox One, PS4, Wii U) just don’t sound all that interesting. I had not realized it has been *seven years* since the release of the xBox. As Calvin said,…

Well time to lust for bikes too…here is a list from Bicycling.com: Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL4 Red. Won last year. $8K, 12.6 lb if you can believe it! But let’s face it the real lust starts with the $12K (?!!) Tarm SL4 Di2 which has Shimano’s electronic shifting components. You…

Wow, this is the first full frame camera that can produce raw footage. Something the Canon folks are trying to keep to their $30K high end cameras (you could really dislike Canon for crippling its mirrorless EOS-M and locking out video output with their prosumer cameras in favor of their…

I’m one of those outliers who use DxO instead of Adobe Lightroom and one of the reasons has been the way they automatically correct lens imperfections because they test each camera body and each lense. For instance, they say they correct vignetting because they know at every aperture and speed…

This would be a big move on Sony’s part, wish that their lenses were better (thanks to Scott for explaining that lenses are as important as bodies!) Mirrorless Rumors Matrix agent’s would say…It was inevitable MR-Anderson! Panasonic and Samsung dropped the DSLR world, Olympus will do it soon. So, what…
