Cameras

ARRI have just released SUP 4.1 for their ALEXA Mini and AMIRA cameras. Unlike the previous SUP 4.0, the new SUP 4.1 is a maintenance firmware update, which includes bug fixes and improvements on the frame delay of the SDI outputs and the viewfinder in ARRIRAW, 4K UHD, 3.2K or Super 16 recording modes.

Panasonic just released the latest firmware update for the Varicam LT, which adds significant improvements to the audio user interface and control as well as 24p for Proxy G6 recording and a few more features that will come in very handy on set.

Chinese drone and stabiliser manufacturer DJI just announced their brand new Zenmuse Z3 - the first ever drone camera with optical zoom and built-in stabilisation.

North Carolina-based 26 Inch Productions recently took out the Panasonic Varicam LT for a spin and shot some truly mesmerising Infrared footage with the latest Panasonic 4K camera.

The mirrorless camera market has been booming in the last couple of years, and it has been a market largely dominated by 4K video enabled cameras from the likes of Sony and Panasonic with their GH4, GX80, and Sony A7rII or A7sII. Fuji has been a long time favourite amongst photographers, but their cameras have been lacking exciting video features; that is until now - the new X-T2 has just been announced and it brings a lot of exciting video features.
