It might be one of the biggest, and most concerning, questions camera buyers have been asking themselves this year. Do I need 4K? More specifically, I've been shooting on the amazing Canon EOS 70D DSLR since it was released in 2013, and get the question all the time (most recently in...

RED Raven digital cinema camera. The fastest $1,000 I've ever spent. Had I been lured, like so many before me, by the Cult of RED?

"Take a deep breath." Who knew?! Breathing is critical to proper camera operation -- at least for the Hollywood pros. Amazing what you can learn on the Internet, and how many talented people are willing to share their knowledge and expertise. Such is the case with award-winning cinematographer Sean Bobbitt (Shame,...

When it comes to shooting video with a compact, relatively affordable DSLR camera they don't come much better than the Canon EOS 70D. I've been shooting professionally with the 70D since its launch. Before that I used the (decent) 60D, and earlier the (milestone) Rebel T2i, still highly capable after all these years. The...

Sony has the mirrorless world abuzz these days. It seems when it comes to camera innovation in recent years, and especially in 2015, all roads point to Sony. I've been testing Sony's latest version of its compact point-and-shoot camera, the RX100 IV. Per the name it's in its fourth incarnation....

A Great Big World. And Gavin James. Organizers today announced these performers were added to the November line-up...

Sony is on a roll. Canon? Nikon? When it comes to innovation in cameras -- stills, videos, full frame sensors... you name it -- Sony seems to be leading the pack. Case in point: this new compact Sony RX100 IV shooter. Looks can be deceiving. This is not a simple point-and-shoot camera....

I've had a chance to shoot a few more videos this month with the Canon EOS 70D DSLR. It's a workhorse of a camera. And below I've included some video samples. Particularly useful, especially for us run-n-gun types, is the sweet dual-pixel auto-focus. With that feature, you can touch the LCD...

We're out and about today, once again, on the streets of San Francisco. "Team Stark" is shooting more video segments for Stark Insider including one about an interesting new film, a Broadway legend, and possibly even some magic. Soon we'll be making the move to Super 35 -- Sony FS7 or...
