 We just received our first production version of the Sony PMW-F3 and after a few preliminary client demonstrations we had a few hours with the camera to run some preliminary tests to evaluate the low light performance and examine the chroma noise and its characteristics. Our first camera was leaving the next day to go to Panavison in Burbank for some various lens test (including the new Sony primes which arrived after this first test) so we had a very tight schedule. It will be back in one week and we will be able to run more tests Since Sony has stated a signal to noise ratio of 63dB which is unheard of in the HD world we were anxious to see if indeed this high specification could be seen in the real world by the unaided eye. We were also interested to see if the high gain of 18dB was indeed usable for actual production footage.

Panasonic is making a huge announcement at NAB 2009 with the showcasing of 3D production systems. Along with a full HD plasma home theater display, Panasonic has also presented a conceptual model of a high definition 3D camcorder. Previous 3D productions, including those highlighted in Panasonic's home theater display, were shot by rigging multiple 2D camcorders together to create the 3D environment. In an attempt to simplify 3D production, Panasonic's concept model features a twin-lens system for capturing 3D footage using only one camcorder.

I have always been fascinated by this concept, being able to repurpose your still photography equipment to capture great looking high definition video. I believe this will spark yet another shift in digital cinematography. The changes in video aquisition and workflow are going on all around us. The tapeless workflow will entirely overpower the old tape-based sysem. With Digital SLR cinematography adding to the mix of changes, this will bring with it great opportunities for those who see change as vehicle, and not as a roadblock.
