Canon have announced their new flagship cinema camera, and it’s quite a beast. It’s a much larger camera than the previous EOS C offerings, aimed at serious production. It’s also a far more modular design offering a lot of customisation. With the optional Codex recorder, it captures 4.5K RAW video at up to 120fps. Internally, it captures 2K ProRes at up to 240fps, and 4K ProRes at up to 60FPS. It is the first Cinema EOS camera to support anamorphic shooting with a built in “de-sequeeze” function for external monitoring....

Have you seen Ad Astra? Do you remember it being one of the most colourful movies you’ve ever seen? No? Why not? Many modern space films have been guilty of looking a little drab and desaturated, but can we blame them? Space, as far as many of us see it, is pretty colourless. It’s just a vast black void punctuated only by blindingly bright light. We don’t immediately associate that limitless void with bold, striking colours that exist between those two extremes....

Many of us know that it’s not good for them, but more and more tourists in Costa Rica ignore this and pick up animals to take selfies. Due to an increased number of selfies that people take with wild animals, the Costa Rican Tourism Institute started a campaign to stop people from doing it....

The Dark Energy camera has captured a detailed and beautiful 570-megapixel photograph of the distant Lobster nebula. The Dark Energy Camera (DECam) is mounted on the 13-foot (4 meters) Víctor M. Blanco Telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. It forms part of the Dark Energy Survey project that searches for evidence of dark energy, the invisible force that astronomers think accelerates the expansion of the universe. As a happy by-product, the camera also captures some incredible images of the universe while it searches for dark matter....

Equivalency is one of those topics that not only confuses a lot of people but also turns into some pretty heated arguments. It’s why people think that a lens of one focal length “turns” into another when you put it on a camera with a differently sized sensor. It’s why your depth of field both does and doesn’t change at the same time. The video above was made as a follow-up to a video recently published by The Slanted Lens to ask does size really matter?...
