I want it in black!

'an incredible focal length from macro to 500mm'

Hmm. And the focal length of macro would be...?

A lot seem to be around 100mm...but 100-500mm lenses are already available



Cheers.

Hmm.

What next? A Depth of Field tool or action in PSWonder?

Can it show me what the alloys on my car would look like in black?

What colour are they now?

Interesting how it says you can take a still from any frame in the video - but can't Red do that already? Thought Red was running 24fps at 10M.

I use this at work for depth of field on 3D stuff, can give alright results with photographs as well.

Always liked the look of dofpro, not sure how i'd feel about painting depth masks for my shots though

Always easier to render out a quick z-depth pass, once SLRs manage that I'm completely sold I'd even swap to Nikon

Indeed, I would maybe even swap for a Canon






...probably not though.

That there is what I think would doom this.

In the article, they're talking about frame rates of 240-600 fps. Personally, I'd rather accept that I got what I got when I took the shots rather than spend hours wading through just a few seconds of footage to find the best stills.

The way I read the 240-600 fps was an opportunity to start running HDR on the fly both in still frames and in a camcorder mode. So if you are running 240 fps, you simply pull 3-5 frames together with differing exposures, and you still have a video camera capable of 80fps with HDR frames.

Even at 24fps, would you want to run through 120 stills just to find the best one out of 5 seconds of filming?

Why not? Guys on this forum will spend hours on a single frame in photoshop getting it just right.
