Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
I caught up with Matt Bennion at PhotoPlus 2011 and talked to him about some of the recent products from Western Digital.
I’m very excited about the My Book Live, which I talked about when the WD 2go App was announced a couple months ago.

Following Canon’s announcement of the new EOS C300 cinema camera, RED announced details that the long-awaited Scarlet will be getting a 5K sensor, but will only capture 4K motion up to 25fps. The price is $9750.

Full details and specifications of the Canon EOS C300 cinema camera are now available. Check out specifications, product images and the official press release below. [Read more…]

Some setups used a hard light, instead of the scrim. And then some use an extra light for fill or – in a couple of cases – no fill at all.
