NAB 2010 Report – Part 2: DSLR

So I’ve been able to get around and check a few things out and so far I’ve found some pretty cool things in terms of DSLR production.

Probably one of the coolest things is a 3D rig made with Canon DSLRs (seen below). The problem is that, so far, no one has been able to sync images from the DSLRs, a process which is mandatory in 3D production. However, manufacturers of 3D rigs are expecting someone to figure out how to to use a camera such as the Canon DSLR 5D for 3D production.

Another cool thing that I came across was an electronic viewfinder (pictured below) that is able to tap into the DSLR camera’s HDMI output. This allows the camera to be easily focused. The demo was, in fact, extremely informational.

Another amazing thing I came across was Marshall’s new portable, 5 inch HDMI monitor (as pictured below) for mounting on a Canon DSLR 5D or 7D camera. And it’s powered by AA batteries. Not only that but it was incredibly light weight. I can’t wait to put it into action at my Canon DSLR 5D and 7D Boot Camp.

The final thing that I came across that was extremely interesting was the WristShot from Hoodman. I tried it out and it really impressed me and I could feel the relief in both my wrists and hands while shooting. We are going to have Hoodman accessories, such as the WristShot and RAW CF cards at our Canon certification Boot Camps.
