PLEASE READ MY ETHICS STATEMENT HERE<\/a><\/div>\n

\"DSC03762\"<\/a><\/div>\n
It doesn’t rain, but it pours! Whilst I haven’t had any new cameras to play around with for ages, not really since the FS7, the past week has made up for it…I do love playing with new cameras, not just because shooting is my job…I just love gadgets!<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
First off, Sony loaned me the RX100 IV and RX10 II until Wednesday. My first blog post is up and it will be updated tomorrow with footage to download! There will be a further update after the cameras have gone back.<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n

Then Canon loaned me the C300 MkII until Wednesday too! I have done a fair amount of shooting with it recently, and it’s looking very nice. I should have my first post on my blog up tomorrow, with one more to follow. This will also include native footage to download!<\/span><\/div>\n

Getting some gorgeous shots in Westminster. The GoPro clamp\/ arm with RX100 IV didn’t live there, just for a few BTS bits of video! (That’s a wide-angle adaptor on it)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

First impressions: <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Nice and small<\/span><\/div>\n
Lovely design. Simple.<\/div>\n
It’s waterproof out of the box!<\/span><\/div>\n
No exposed lens to scratch.<\/span><\/div>\n
Internal, non replaceable battery…hope battery life is better than normal GoPro 4.<\/span><\/div>\n
Very limited control on camera, settings via app\/ remote (remote is sold separately).<\/span><\/div>\n
No 4K.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Frame rates:<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The frame rates for the various modes are quirky. The biggest omission appears to be 24p… 25p is here in PAL mode, but there is no 24p in either NTSC or PAL MODE.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
HD 1440 30p, 25p<\/span><\/div>\n
1080p Superview 48p, 30pp, 25p<\/div>\n
HD 1080p 60p, 50p, 30p, 25p<\/span><\/div>\n
Other resolutions which go lower including 720p\u00a0<\/span>up to 120p, 100p<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Many\u00a0frame rates here are accessible only by switching to NTSC or PAL mode. For example, in PAL mode 1080p is 50p to 25p. In \u00a0NTSC mode its 60p and 30p (yes that lack of 24p stings!) \u00a0Comparing this to my Hero 4 Silver, the camera has 24p in NTSC\/ PAL mode and the multiplications of that in PAL mode like 48p, as well as the normal PAL frame rates.<\/div>\n
