The number one resource for information about HDR technology, workflows, tutorials, news and opinion.
After installing Big Sur (at last, Safari 4K HDR!), the dreaded spinning beachball of doom appeared anytime I tried doing anything at all in Final Cut Pro 10.5. Unplugging my UltraStudio 4K Mini, things returned to normal, so I was certain the device was the culprit. I'd already updated to the latest 12.0 beta firmware,... Continue Reading →
This colorful French colonial-era apartment tucked away at 14 Ton That Dam street in Saigon's district 1 is home to some chic cafes and boutiques and happens to be a great spot for shooting video and grabbing a bite to eat.

Jared Polin tested out the new firmware update and finds increases of anywhere from 50-100% indoors. Times given are after reformatting the card for 8K when it filled up and after restarting camera after shooting 4K HQ for longer than 29:59. Apparently, shooting outdoors in the heat showed no improvement, but there are significant gains... Continue Reading →
These fellas are real working professionals who shoot every conceivable type of video - real estate, product photography, fitness, travel, corporate, weddings, interviews - you know, the kind of stuff we do to put food on the table when we're not shooting the next Netflix series. In the video, Parker Walbeck says "I wouldn't recommend... Continue Reading →

Most in the online community raving about 8K do not have the storage space, computer power, or even the dedicated hardware decoder required to edit it. Apart from YouTube, there is no 8K content. Many have complained of the difficulty playing 8K YouTube, either because of their computer or slow internet. I tried watching this 8K... Continue Reading →
This whole discussion of 4K vs 8K isn't grounded in reality. At all. I've watched dozens of clips shot in 8K and 4K HQ and they look no better in terms of sharpness or color than plain Jane 4K. In fact, many are actually quite soft. To show that I'm not partisan, I also downloaded... Continue Reading →
Slashcam just published their rolling shutter test results for the R5 and they're pretty remarkable. Here's the skinny if you don't have time to pore over the whole text: the rolling shutter is kind of sensational, much better than they would have expected from the very first 8K mirrorless camera, and uncommon for any full frame hybrid video...

It’s nearly impossible to tell the difference between 8K and oversampled 4K HQ. Save some hard drive space and shoot 4K HQ 170Mbps rather than 8K 680Mbps. https://twitter.com/mondobytes/status/1285816694984765440?s=20 "The future of TV is in better pixels, not just more of them," Neil Hunt, Netflix's Chief Product Officer, said speaking with Digital Spy. On this front, and with... Continue Reading →
Now that it’s certain that I’ll be sticking with Sony, time to pick up the glass I’ve been holding off purchasing. The next one will be either the Samyang 85mm f/1.4 or the new Sigma FE 85mm f/1.4 to replace my FE 85mm f/1.8.
Forum member LuxShots over at DPReview explains why he passed on the R5. I, up until recently had a three camera kit: The GH4The GH5SThe latest addition is the S1H. I was considering another S1H for obvious reasons, but I was intrigued by the superior autofocus in video mode from Canon and Sony. With that... Continue Reading →
In an earlier post, we copy and pasted a statement by DPR technical editor Richard Butler in which he denies that Canon had designed the R5 and R6 to be professional video tools and explicitly denying that Canon was marketing them as such. But looking at the article again today, we were startled to discover... Continue Reading →
DPReview just published a mind-blowing article in which technical editor Richard Butler defends Canon's demonstrably deceptive marketing tactics, asserting that both the R5 and R6 perform as intended and that Canon never claimed the R5 was for professional use: It should be noted that Canon did not design either the EOS R5 or R6 to...
