Back by popular demand - Blackmagic Design brings back the world’s best SD and HD broadcast quality converters available now for only £129!

Canon is adding more glass to its already impressive line-up of broadcast lenses by announcing earlier today the CJ12ex4.3B, a new 2/3” portable 4K zoom lens with the world’s widest focal length – an incredible 4.3mm, designed for professionals shooting interviews or live broadcast, including sport and news.

The Panasonic VariCam is once again in use at the BBC Natural History Unit, which has ordered both the 4K and high speed (HS) versions of the flagship Panasonic camera. The decision was made following a three month test shoot, supported directly by Panasonic.

SmallHD have some great news for shooters who are new to the world of 3D LUTs. The innovative US-based manufacturer just announced that they are giving away a free set of colour grades that recreate the unique look of seven different iconic films, and are also publishing multiple video tutorials explaining how to get the most out of these looks during both production and post production—all 100% free of charge.

One of the major announcements by Canon at this year's NAB Show in Las Vegas was of course the highly-anticipated successor the Canon EOS C300, named appropriately in Canon style to the EOS C300 Mark II, this time with 4K on board recording, 4K Raw output and a ton of new features. However, the other big announcement was the smaller, but very capable XC10 hybrid 4K camera.
