Test Footage: Blackmagic Cinema Camera vs. Canon EOS 5D Mark III

Test Footage: Blackmagic Cinema Camera vs. Canon EOS 5D Mark III The 15-minute video found below, from One River Media, compares side-by-side footage from the Blackmagic Cinema Camera and Canon 5D Mark III. Says Gizmodo, "It is clear from the comparison video...that when viewed against the ubiquitous Canon 5D Mark III, the Cinema Camera gushes resolution and dynamic range that the Canon DSLR can only dream of. It's actually quite stunning to see the difference."

iPhone 5 Camera and Imaging Improvements

For the first time, Apple changed the display on the iPhone – going from the 3.5″ display on previous models to a 4″ display on the iPhone 5.

Somehow, Sony managed to stuff a full frame image sensor inside a compact body and bolt a 35mm f/2 Zeiss lens on the front with a 9-blade aperture for circular bokeh. And, you know what? It looks amazing.

Sony RX1 The label “game changer” gets thrown around a little too much with cameras, so I won’t call it that, but the RX1 certainly steps up the game and adds another level of complexity to the current mirrorless landscape for Sony’s competitors. It will also garner more than a few mentions alongside more expensive cameras like the Leica M9. The RX1 gets the same 24.3MP full frame sensor as found in the A99 and will capture 14-bit RAW files, as well as 1080p video at 24p or 60p frame rates. Additional features include a sensitivity range of ISO 50-25600 (up to 102400 w/ Multi Frame Noise Reduction), Auto HDR mode and
