Camera Giveaway! Panasonic Lumix G7

Camera Giveaway! Panasonic Lumix G7

How’d you like to win a Panasonic Lumix G7? The Lumix G7 features a micro four thirds 16-megapixel MOS sensor powered by the Venus Engine 9 processor built into an interchangeable lens camera package that fits nicely in your hands. The design is a bit retro, sporting large mode dials on the top but with direct access to many programmable function buttons, control dials, cursors and high-resolution live viewfinder and articulating monitor, there is nothing old-fashioned about the Lumix G7.
Panasonic Lumix GH5 - Hands-On Review - vs. GH4

Panasonic Lumix GH5 - Hands-On Review - vs. GH4

Panasonic teased us for months after first announcing the GH5 at Photokina 2016. Out of the few details they released within the announcement, they would only confirm that this camera would shoot 10-bit 4:2:2 internally in both 24 and 30 frames per second. That’s all they said! Come on Panasonic, we want more!
 
We were ripe with anticipation, salivating for the rest of the details. Finally at CES 2017, Panasonic gave us all of the details for the GH5. We were so blown-away by the specs that we gave it our Best Camera of CES 2017 award.

Tascam DR-10X, DR-10SG, DR-10L - Hands On Review

Tascam DR-10X, DR-10SG, DR-10L - Hands On Review

Interchangeable lens cameras seem to be the norm these days — a wonderful innovation for the video world, allowing for an easier path to shallow depth of field. However, audio captured with these cameras is weak to say the least. Entry level cameras also might not offer both a mic input and a headphone output, often combining the two into one port. On top of that, the mics built into these cameras are small and the mic preamps are typically poor.
