Sony NEX C3 vs Oly E-P3 vs Panny GF3 - Manual Focus Face-Off!
| DigitalRevTv | YouTube
While this video seems to set out to show which of these three mirror-less cameras has the quickest focus capabilities, it really ends up spending much of it's time on the Sony NEX-C3 [$649.99], and it's peaking feature for helping to get focus. Verdict; it works really well.
Note that DigitalRevTV did an earlier review of the NEX-C3 that wasn't quite as enthusiastic.
I think there are 45 art directors on this shoot. 2 hours in and we're probably a week behind schedule.

The Hidden Cost of RED Epic and Digital Cinema | Evan Luzi | The Black & Blue
As data rates go up, the amount of data that needs to be copied, backed up and manipulated, keeps going up:
What many are underestimating, or don’t realize, is that Epic is going to balloon the amount of data productions will move by double, possibly even more.
This is directly the effect of an increase in resolution and the lowering of compression.
Estimates are showing that, “At 5k 2:1 and REDcode 5:1 (which will likely be what most features shoot with), a 64GB SSD will be about 12-13 minutes,” said Deanan Dasilva from RED.
