a little bit of everything…(with Cosyspeed bag and video battle).

Thomas: “long time reader of your great blog and CEO of COSYSPEDD GmbH, a startup from Germany with a unique bag for mirrorless cameras. See our first video: http://youtu.be/-UFOpSG3g48 (Posted on top of this post at 43rumors). In short:
Wear your mirrorless camera like a western hero wears his gun. Cosyspeed CAMSLINGER bags give you fast, one handed access to your cam, comfortable wearing the whole day long and a new, cool feeling when shooting photos. It’s a unique bag system that really brings out the benefits of mirrorless cameras.
Our website is www.cosyspeed.com and I think you’ll find more info there. Go to the media page to find some videos that’ll show the functions of the CAMSLINGERs.”

Rey: “I posted some thoughts on my blog regarding my testing of the Fujifilm X-T1, Sony A7 and Olympus E-M1. Bottom line, I chose the E-M1. Here’s the rationale: http://2guysphoto.wordpress.com/2014/04/02/fujifilm-x-t1-vs-olympus-om-d-e-m1-vs-sony-a7/“

Cody: “I had a chance to shoot with the Panasonic Leica 42.5mm & GX7 this weekend and have complied my best photos out of a couple hundred. I can say 100% without a doubt the positive reviews online about this lens are an understatement. This lens literally is a steal @ its price of $1599 US. I have nicknamed it writefully “Bokeh Master” and to prove this nickname here is my photo set https://www.flickr.com/photos/princecody/sets/72157643127358715/”

New GH4 video tests by Nick Driftwood and EosHD.

Share

Panasonic GH4 24p C4K ‘Cine-D Profile’ Skintone Quickie test from Nick Driftwood on Vimeo.

We are seeing more and more GH4 tests! Nick Driftwood just uploaded this GH4 video on vimeo. It’s a first in a long series of tests. Nick recommends: “Please download the 4K file version for 4K representation as Vimeos transcoding and downsampling is pretty $%^&!” Follow the discussion at Personal View (It’s where Nick comments the GH4).

Panasonic GH1 4K vs 1080p and EOSHD shootout with other cameras from Andrew Reid on Vimeo.

And Andrew from EosHD posted the shootout video and the Gh4 simply delivers impressive video quality:

The 4K video output from the GH4 is easily a match for the 16MP stills. So we can say with certainty that this camera produces video ‘like moving stills’. That it does so for $1699 compared to $12,000 gives you an idea of how much Canon’s stronger brand is worth.

Quite amazing!

P.S.: The Gh4 preorders at Amazon are still good and the camera holds the position around place 22th (Click here to see full ranking).
