Kodak is again displaying their soon to come new PixPro1 Micro Four Thirds camera. Photographyblog (Click here) posted 60 hands-on pictures of the camera with the new 12-45mm, 42.5-160mm and 400mm fieldscope lenses.

Dpreview (Click here) also had the chance to see the camera and writes:

This is the Pixpro S-1, an entry-level Micro Four Thirds mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. It will come with a 12-45mm F3.5-6.3 kit zoom that retracts when not in use for improved portability. There’s also a 42.5-160mm F3.5-5.9 telezoom and a slightly eccentric 400mm Fieldscope lens, which is manual focus and has a fixed aperture of F6.7. JK Imaging says that while these were originally designed for the Asian market, it plans to sell them in Europe too.

P.S.. Full camera specs at ePhotozine.

Blackmagic makes some great MFT and EF mount Cinema cameras but this one from Forest Gibson just got…exploded! Watch the video if you don’t believe this can happen :)

Petapixel reports:

It’s worth noting that this seems to be a one-time deal. No other Blackmagic cameras have done this that we or planet5D can find and BM has responded to the situation quickly and professionally to make sure that it isn’t a more widespread problem.

As you know it’s all about 4K this year! Panasonic has been the first but soon also Sony and Canon and maybe Olympus too will announce their 4K cameras. Do you believe 4K is just the next hype or the real big deal?

Trustedreviews talked with Panasonic Product manager Craig Cunningham. He said 4K will not “fail” like 3D did:

“When you see the different in picture quality between even Full HD and 4K, you see that it’s the future”. “At Panasonic we are doing what we can to address 4K content so our Lumix cameras for example all can film 4K so you can still create some 4K content you just need the movies now and the broadcasters to get on board. Netflix is going to be a great start to that.”

I can tell you from my small experience that unlike 3D…4K is very seriously considered for some present and many future documentary productions! And once you watch 4K video on a 4K TV you will not like it to go back to 1080 resolution :)
