High Speed 10 bit RAW 2.5K camera with a 1 inch sensor, $1600

The FPS1000 looks promising, at least the Gold and Platinum models. There are 8 days left of the Kickstarter. The 290fps 720p sprinkler video from the "Gold" model looks nice. The 200 fps 1080p video from the "Platinum" model looks like something may have gone wrong when uploading to the web. There is a weird banding thing going on in the footage. I'm personally waiting for better 1080p footage before I buy. Anyway many stretch goal were reached and there is now going to be an internal battery, better case, 3D option, and a high speed expansion port for a future high speed media module or to connect to a PC for longer takes.

5.6" 1280x800 on camera monitor with peaking, aka H056

I bought this monitor because it has 1280x800 resolution which is rare to see at a low price point (got it for $220 USD). The other monitor I was considering was the Liliput 7" but figured the smaller size of 5.6" would be more manageable, not to mention monitor peepers on set! For the canon range, I've used it with 5D, 7D, 60D and 600D. All of them give basic monitoring @ 1080i (with pillar boxes) but drops to 480p mush during recording except for the 7D. This is annoying as the monitor cannot reproduce the real sharpness of the actual video.

The colours aren't as accurate as cameras built-in LCD's (anyone have a monitor calibration method, pls?) Next, I paired the monitor with the Panasonic AF-100 on a studio shoot. The piece was lit high contrast with many, many shadows shot @ 400 ISO. The monitor showed pixelated 'noise' in the image but when I looked at the studio monitor it was clean, clean. So the monitor has trouble reproducing blacks.

Really I would only recommend this monitor for framing and focus. Of course pair this with the Panasonic cameras as they put out 1080i during recording which is crucial for focus pulling. Or.. wait till Canon gets their act together. The monitor came with a case with divided foam, sunhood, HDMI-HDMI mini cable, Sony battery plate (you'll have to buy a battery, d/w they are cheap). For the cheap price it's a good start :)

FS: Three awesome Nikkor lenses with FF gear!

Hey guys,

2012 is drawing to a close. I'm right now trying to optimize my workflow and sell a few pieces of equipment I don't necessarily need anymore.

All three lenses were bought at the beginning of this year and were only used a couple of times on pretty small projects.

They are built like tanks and offer absolutely lovely bokeh. Focus is really, really smooth. I seriously recommend them.

Perfectly fitting Half Inch Rails gears included. (Best lens gear in my opinion, nice and simple)

Nikkor AI 24mm f/2.0

Asking price: 260 Euro (345 Dollar)

Nikkor AI-s 35mm f/2.0

Asking price: 225 Euro (295 Dollar)

Nikkor AI 85mm f/2.0

Asking price: 240 Euro (315 Dollar)

I'm pretty sure there'll be more offerings in the near future. Keep an eye out.
