Zacuto's first look at the new, documentary-style camera!

Zacuto's first look at the new, documentary-style camera!

A few weeks back we wrote about the ARRI AMIRA for the first time. The Amira is a documentary-style camera that combines exceptional image quality with an ergonomic design optimized for single-operator use and extended shoulder-mounted operation. Its big advantage is the fact that it is ready to pick up and shoot straight out of the bag, and it features the same sensor as the renowned ARRI ALEXA.

New Sony A7 and A7R have focus magnification and adjustable controls while filming

New Sony A7 and A7R have focus magnification and adjustable controls while filming

When you shoot on DSLRs and CSCs, you give up many of the basic camera features professional shooters require – internal ND's, manual audio, focus & aperture controls, etc. In this News Shooter article, Sony has made their new A7 and A7r mirrorless cameras harder for pros to resist. Putting the question of image quality aside, a lot of those pro gotta-haves are there – including the much-appreciated ability to magnify while shooting to get those tack-sharp HD images we've all grown to love.

Canon EOS 70D

Canon EOS 70D

The Canon EOS 70D ($1,199 direct, body only) is the first traditional D-SLR we've seen with an on-chip phase detect autofocus system that doesn't have to hand off to contrast detection in order to confirm focus. That gives it the ability to deliver quick, smooth autofocus when recording video, but there's still some room for improvement in dim lighting. The 20-megapixel camera is a solid option for Canon shooters looking to move up from a Rebel body, but don't want to go full-frame. Despite its video prowess, it doesn't manage to oust our Editors' Choice for midrange D-SLRs, the Nikon D7100. The Nikon may not focus as quickly in Live View mode as the Canon, but we liked it slightly better overall.
