The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

[Samoan Attorney]

The whole face of video and stills shooting is about to change...........

As with the new video enabled Canons and Nikons this technology will have a huge impact on shooting the sport.......expect a monumental rights battle to ensue.

just back from LA, shooting Time Attack at Buttonwillow and World Drift Challenge at Long Beach............I heard rumours about the next generation 1D Canon Probodies..........full movie capability and stills to be taken from captures........scary stuff.......the end of the road in sight for us stills guys.

I assume you are still in Kent.

If so PM me your details as I may have a project for next year.

Can't help thinking that Bernie, FIFA, Premier League et al will be making sure you don't come in with one of those round your neck!

Did i read somewhere that the new Canon 5 can shoot video but stops at 29 minutes 50 odd seconds purposely so as not to be classed a video camera?

I don't personally think there will be a rights battle, because its simply one that photographers can't win so why get into the scrap. Bizarrely i think we'll end up using "old" technology!

Ps...i believe this could be the first ever 10 10ths thread named after a Gil Scott Heron song...way to go SA!

I'm not sure how relevent these will be to sports photography because of the shutter speeds, I can imagine they will be fine for panning shots, but the shutter speeds tend to be a bit long for freezing motion...
