Way back when I was in college, a young director came to speak to my class and share his experiences with making, for the time, a moderately budgeted film. Nearly 30 years later, I can still remember him saying that a location day costs $150 a minute.

As tempting as it is to create fanfare about getting my hands on a pre-release version of Sony's 4K professional camcorder, the reality was very much like the camera itself: quiet, and to all appearances, unassuming. There is quite a bit that I liked about the PXW-Z150, things that most people who shoot for a living are going to find both exciting and, yet, very familiar. But first, a brief look at the tech aspects, before I get to the really

When the Canon XC10 camera was presented at NAB 2015, I immediately became curious about it—joining many others who record their opinions on the great and all-powerful Internet, I couldn’t place my finger on the targeted end-users of this camera.
