    So Zune comes out with a new hardware product and the subsequent posts just push the article further and further down the page, but if Apple we're to so much as sigh, then the article for it would remain glued as the first article on Giz for days to come. Man I don't get you guys.

    @geiko: Wait, wait. Did Apple sigh? I missed it. Is there a story here somewhere about it? Could someone please direct me, I can't find the story about Apple sighing.

    Spielberg Shmielberg.

    This kind of rig is starting to make sense of the notion of using DSLRs as HD filmmaking tools. And, as long as you're comfortable shooting double system (i.e., sound recorded on a separate audio recorder, synced up later during editing*), you could actually do proper HD filmmaking on the cheap.


    Still, I'd have questions about "missing features", things that are taken for granted with true HD filmmaking gear but could be compromised or even missing altogether in this kind of setup.


    *Filmmaking trivia: Double system has been the standard for filmmaking for 75+ years. One purpose of the slate used at the start of every take is to help sync sound and image during postproduction: the sharp "clap" sound is lined up with the visual of the slate snapping shut. Now you know.

    @bosskev: I would wonder about shutter speed and its digital equivalent. And frame rate. And exactly what format/compression the video is.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but movies aren't shot at higher resolutions than HD?


    Oh, I read the last sentence of the article, indie filmmakers, that make sense.

    @DeLarge: Really depends on what you mean by resolution.


    HD only means 1080p, 1080i, or 720p, which are resolutions which all HD cameras shoot at. That said, most studios use the Viper, Genesis, or whatever Sony has now. Those are far better than HD. (Viper is 2K, Genesis is 4k)


    However, I've no idea what the specs on these SLRs are, but it's likely that their video is highly compressed. That said, some compressions are, in fact, better than others.

    But can Spielberg slowly zoom in on the face just to get a brief flash of the light source behind him, adding that cosmically emotional moment when the character is looking at something to the sound of John Williams' brooding set pieces?

    Good. Competition is better for the consumer.


    That said, if you like nikon, shoot nikon. If you like canon, shoot canon. If you like sony, shoot sony.


    Who fucking cares who has the best techincal sensor? Just get your ass out there and take photos.

    @the_sidewinder:


    how many people who own one, or will ever own one do you know ? Few ? thought so.


    Honestly : Those tests are most interesting for the consumer/prosumer range.

    They're obviously not going after serious photographers by making this hot-shoe mountable. I take a lot of photos with an off camera flash, but I'd have to take this thing off if I wanted to do some walk-around photos with my SB-600 or SB-800.


    That's a deal-breaker in my book.


    Too bad Nikon doesn't offer Bluetooth connectivity in their newer cameras. Now THAT would be killer.

    @Ripley29: My reply/comment above probably hadn't posted yet as you were writing yours. Nikon says, "Attaches to camera's accessory shoe or a camera strap via strap adapter GP1-CL1"

    Hotshoe mounted? WTF?


    So I guess users are relegated to using the on camera flash or using the IR trigger on an off camera flash. Frankly this wasn't very well thought out.
