Bleh. New Camera - SNOOZE. I am posting this because I know that a lot of camera/gear enthusiasts peruse my blog. To be completely honest, as soon as I got a job working with brand new cameras and making shows about them, my peaking interest in new cameras has plummeted. The only camera I still have gaga eyes for is the ARRI Alexa. Don’t get me wrong, these new cameras may have a lot of fantastic new features…with the release of new cameras comes a new bulk of rich people who can afford them, who are now suddenly “filmmakers”. Find a good story, actors, production designer, director, editor, sound designer, etc, and you can make a good film regardless of what new camera you shoot with. A new camera can only help the quality of your images get better, it doesn’t make or break it. 

Besides, there’s going to be a new camera every couple months…oh my stars, how ever will you be able to keep up with these things?
