Erik Naso from Newsshooter visited the Blackmagic Design booth to hear more about the new Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K camera.

NAB 2018 is officially underway! Before the start of the show yesterday, the guys from Newsshooter, Matt Allard and Erik Naso, stopped by to discuss what they are most excited to see at this year’s show.

Join Matt from Newsshooter as he gets the low-down from Sony Senior Sales Support Engineer, Shahpour Nosrati-Fard on the brand new Sony FS5 II.

The new EPIC-W GEMINI 5K S35 from RED utilizes a new sensor that has dual sensitivity modes for maximum flexibility. With the dual modes, users can select Gemini's Standard Mode for normal shooting environments or take advantage of the Low Light mode for those difficult darker scenes. In the Low Light mode, the camera's native ISO switches to 3200 as compared to the Standard Mode's 800 ISO.

One of the big topics at NAB this year will no doubt be the introduction of full format cinema cameras, and lenses to accompany them. In this blog, I give a practical guide to these cameras and their many advantages.

Today, Canon announced the new C700 FF, an update to their flagship C700, which sports a brand new 5.9K (38.1 x 20.1mm) sensor for cinematic, full format imagery. A new Canon CN-E 20mm T1.5 L F Cinema Prime covers the camera's full sensor and fits beautifully with other lenses in the family.

AbelCine’s NAB 2018 presence is all about full format. “Full format” is the term we use to describe the tools, techniques and hardware emerging around the creation of motion content using cameras with sensors of approximately 36mm x 24mm or larger, but smaller than the traditional large format sizes of 65mm film and beyond. In this post, I give our perspective on this emerging, yet also familiar and classic, capture medium.
