The people behind Magic Lantern have successfully coaxed the 5D Mark III into shooting 24 fps RAW  video at resolutions up to 1,920 x 820 pixels using 1000x speed cards.  If you're not familiar with Magic Lantern, it's an open source firmware add-on  that brings additional functionality to Canon EOS cameras. The ability  to capture RAW video at 24 fps improves dynamic range and resolution --  it also provides extra flexibility during post-production. According to  the team at Magic Lantern, more work is required before the feature is  ready to be deployed. So until then, you're invited to follow the via  link below and watch the RAW vs. H.264 videos after the break, or if  you're feeling brave, check the source for download locations.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><b>Update:</b> We just received news from Magic Lantern  that Canon's Mark II is now also a go for 24 fps with the new firmware.  Nic from the development team said "After some further testing it is  clear the older, cheaper Mark II should be able to record at least  resolutions of 1880x840 in full-frame mode (with line skipping)."</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wHcZwMB5gKs?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/7CANqYdhx_U?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><hr dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" />                                     <div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Sony shipping NEX3N and Alpha A58 to the US in April " data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/sony-nex-3n-white.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> Sony may have teased American photographers by launching the NEX-3N and Alpha A58  in Europe, but it's not cruel: both interchangeable lens cameras are  coming to the US this April. The NEX-3N will cost a relatively frugal  $500 when bundled with the camera's signature motorized, 16-50mm  f/3.5-5.6 lens. Venturing into DSLR territory with the Alpha A58 will  cost an only somewhat dearer $600 when paired with a refreshed 18-55mm,  f/3.5-5.6 kit lens that's quieter and less error-prone than its  ancestor.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> Both A- and E-mount cameras will also be getting a  similar raft of accessories for the US unveiling. An RM-VPR1 remote  commander comes in April for $65, while a compact HVL-F20M flash is due  in May for $150. A-series photographers will have no shortage of lenses  to choose from -- they'll get cracks at both a stand-alone version of  the 18-55mm lens and a new 50mm f/1.4 prime in May for respective prices  of $220 and $1,500, while a 70-400mm f/4-5.6 telephoto zoom is coming  in July for an eye-watering $2,200.</div><div class="open" dir="ltr" id="pr_box" style="text-align: left;"> <div id="pr_box_button">Hide Press Release</div><div id="pr_text">     <em><strong>Sony Introduces the α NEX-3N: The World's Smallest and Lightest Interchangeable Lens Camera with an APS-C Size Sensor</strong></em><br />     <em>Stylish New Camera Features Advanced 16.1 MP APS-C Sensor, Fingertip Zoom Control, New Auto Object Framing and more</em><br />     <em>SAN  DIEGO, Feb. 25, 2013 – Sony's new α NEX-3N digital camera delivers  professional quality photos and Full HD videos in an ultra-compact body  weighing in at just under 7.5 ounces, making it the world's smallest and  lightest interchangeable lens camera with an APS-C size sensor*.</em><br />     <em>The  new NEX-3N camera will be offered as a kit with the sharp, compact  SELP1650 motorized zoom lens, offering the ultimate package of  portability and performance in a compact system camera. The camera  features a newly added zoom lever on top of the body, allowing for  smooth fingertip control of lens focal length. The lever can also adjust  digital zoom on the camera if a powered zoom lens (SELP1650 or  SELP18200) is not being used.<br />   <br />   The powerful, 16.1 effective  megapixel APS HD CMOS sensor in the new NEX-3N camera is identical in  size to those found in traditional DSLR cameras. Its large surface area  takes in more light during image capture, allowing the camera to produce  flawless, low-noise photographs with blurred backgrounds and highly  detailed full HD videos (60i/24p). It also boosts maximum camera  sensitivity to ISO16000, resulting in exceptional low-light shooting  performance.<br />   <br />   "The new NEX-3N is the ideal camera to  introduce consumers to the creative world of interchangeable lens  photography, offering new levels of performance and convenience never  before realized in a mirrorless model," said Mike Kahn, director of the  Alpha business at Sony. "By pairing the camera with our retractable  SELP1650 lens, loading it up with a host of our newest, most advanced  technologies and offering it at a great price point, we've created a  palm-sized powerhouse that promises outstanding value for our  customers."</em><br />     <em>The NEX-3N camera debuts new Auto Object  Framing technology, which allows shooters to create professionally  framed photos with each composition. This innovative feature identifies  the main object of the framed scene – whether it's one person, two  people or even macro and moving subjects – and then automatically trims  the scene around the object to create a professionally-styled  composition. The cropped photo is then boosted to full resolution using  Sony's unique By Pixel Super Resolution technology, which uses pattern  matching to maintain superb image detail, tones and textures. Both the  original and cropped image files are saved for review.<br />   <br />    Additionally, the NEX-3N model is built with an evolved BIONZ processor  that utilizes the same area-specific noise reduction technology featured  on Sony's acclaimed full-frame α99 camera. The high-power processor  individually adjusts level of noise reduction and sharpness in different  imaging areas, assuring crisp, ultra-low noise handheld shots in all  types of lighting situations without loss of detail.</em><br />     <em>The  NEX-3N is also the first E-mount interchangeable lens camera from Sony  that offers support for new "TRILUMINOS Color". This allows consumers to  experience a dramatically expanded palette of vivid, ultra-realistic  colors when videos and still images from the camera are played back on  any BRAVIA TV with support for "TRILUMINOS Display".</em><br />     <em>Other  convenient essentials include a crisp, bright, 7.5cm (3.0-type) LCD  screen that flips 180 degrees for hassle-free self-portraits, as well as  a new, easy-to-hold textured grip.</em><br />     <em>Shooters can now  choose from a range of 13 high-quality E-mount lenses available for use  with the NEX-3N camera to realize its full creative potential. The  line-up includes a variety of telephoto, zoom, wide angle, and macro  lenses manufactured by both Sony and Carl Zeiss® to suit any shooting  situation. Each model blends superb optical performance with elegant  styling to complement the E-mount camera line.</em><br />     <em>Pricing and Availability</em><br />     <em>The  new NEX-3N compact digital camera will be available this April in black  and white in a kit with the motorized 16-50mm zoom lens (model  SELP1650) for about $500.</em><br />     <em>The camera kit and a range  of compatible E-mount lenses and accessories including the LCS-SB1  sling bag will be available at Sony retail stores (www.store.sony.com)  and other authorized dealers nationwide.</em><br />     <strong><em>Sony Introduces Speedy α58 Digital SLT Camera Featuring New 20.1 MP APS-C Sensor Powered by Translucent Mirror Technology</em></strong><br />     <em>Exciting New DSLT Model Features OLED Viewfinder, up to 8 fps shooting, Auto Object Framing and more</em><br />     <em>SAN  DIEGO, Feb. 25, 2013 – Lightweight, easy to use and packed with a  variety of powerful imaging capabilities, the new Sony SLT-A58 camera is  an ideal choice for consumers eager to explore the world of DSLR-style  interchangeable lens photography.</em><br />     <em>The new α58 camera  is the latest to feature Sony's acclaimed Translucent Mirror  Technology, which delivers a potent combination of fast shooting,  non-stop phase detection autofocus and continuous live image preview  during still and full HD video (60i/24p) shooting. This innovative  technology also allows the camera to shoot sharply focused images at up  to eight frames per second (in Tele-Zoom High Speed Shooting Mode),  ensuring that every important detail of any precious moment is fully  captured.</em><br />     <em>At the heart of the new α58 camera is a  brand new, highly advanced 20.1 (approx.) effective megapixel Exmor APS  HD CMOS sensor teamed with an improved BIONZ image processing engine,  which individually adjusts levels of noise reduction and sharpness in  different imaging areas. This powerful combination of sensor and  processor gives the camera an extra-wide sensitivity range of ISO 100 to  16000, and ensures that it can produce exceptionally detailed,  low-noise still images and full HD videos in all types of lighting  conditions.</em><br />     <em>"With the new α58 model, we are bringing  unparalleled levels of performance, speed and design to the world of  affordable-class DSLR cameras," said Mike Kahn, director of the Alpha  business at Sony. "Featuring our innovative Translucent Mirror  Technology, a brand new, high-resolution image sensor and a variety of  new, convenient technologies all packaged at a great price, it is  perfect for consumers looking to upgrade from the world of  point-and-shoot cameras or replace an older DSLR."</em><br />     <em>To  improve the framing, focusing and image playback experience, the α58  camera features a bright new OLED Tru-Finder electronic viewfinder.  Using the EVF, shooters can instantly see the result of adjusting  exposure compensation, aperture, ISO, white balance, Picture Effect and  other parameters while they are composing - not afterwards. It's a great  teaching and learning tool, and a huge help for framing and creating  that "perfect shot" with full confidence.<br />   <br />   To complement its  high-speed shooting capabilities, the α58 camera has a high-performance  15-point AF system that features new Lock-on Autofocus technology for  speedier, more accurate subject tracking. This makes it easier for  shooters to focus on and capture fast moving subjects like birds in  flight, kids playing sports and virtually everything in between.</em><br />     <em>The  new α58 also introduces new Auto Object Framing technology, an  evolution of the innovative Auto Portrait Framing feature introduced  last year in Sony's lineup of interchangeable lens cameras. With Auto  Object Framing, the α58 camera judges what's in the scene – one person,  two people, even moving objects or macro subjects – tracking, framing  and cropping the shot to create powerful, professionally-framed  compositions. Cropped photos are boosted back to full resolution using  Sony's unique By Pixel Super Resolution technology, and both the  original and re-composed image files are saved for review.</em><br />     <em>Additionally,  the new camera features a total of 15 artistic 'in-camera' Picture  Effect treatments including Toy Camera, Mono and Partial Color and much  more, all of which can be accessed instantly from the mode dial.</em><br />     <em>The  α58 model is Sony's first A-mount interchangeable lens camera that  offers support for new TRILUMINOS Color, which allows consumers to  experience an expanded palette of colors when content from the camera is  played back on any BRAVIA TV that supports TRILUMINOS Display.<br />   <br />   The Sony A-mount camera system now features a total of 35  interchangeable lenses - including several Carl Zeiss® and G-series  optics - that offer the ultimate in performance, sharpness and clarity.</em><br />     <em>Pricing and Availability</em><br />     <em>The  α58 digital camera will be available as a kit with a brand new 18-55mm  zoom lens (model SEL18552) this April for about $600 at Sony retail  stores (www.store.sony.com) and other authorized dealers nationwide.</em><br />     <strong><em>Sony Adds Three New-Generation A-Mount Lenses to α Interchangeable Lens Camera System</em></strong><br />     <em>Sharp  New Lenses include Full Frame 70-400mm G Telephoto Zoom, Full Frame  50mm F1.4 Carl Zeiss Prime and DT 18-55mm Standard Zoom</em><br />     <em>SAN  DIEGO, Jan. 22, 2013 – Sony is extending the range of its α A-mount  interchangeable lens camera system with the introduction of three new  lenses designed to fit the needs of the most demanding photo enthusiasts  and professionals.</em><br />     <em>New models include the 70-400mm  F4-5.6 G SSM II and Carl Zeiss Planar T* 50mm F1.4 ZA SSM lenses,  designed to complement the impressive imaging capabilities of Sony's  full-frame α99 SLT (Translucent Mirror) camera. Additionally, the DT  18-55mm F3.5-5.6 SAM II lens is a light, compact 3x zoom that's an ideal  partner for all A-mount cameras with APS-C size sensors.</em><br />     <em>New 70-400mm F4-5.6 G SSM II telephoto zoom (model SAL70400G2)</em><br />     <em>Ideal  for capturing wildlife and action-packed sports, the new, upgraded  70-400mm F4-5.6 G SSM II super-telephoto zoom lens builds on the premium  performance of its predecessor with enhanced optics and faster, more  responsive autofocus. The lens features a new LSI drive circuit and  faster AF responsiveness, making the ultimate choice for capturing  crisp, sharply focused still images and Full HD videos of fast moving  subjects.</em><br />     <em>The new-generation SAL70400G2 lens also  features Sony's proprietary Nano AR Coating on its optical surface.  Offering around five times the efficiency of conventional  anti-reflection coatings, it reduces flare and ghosting for  exceptionally high-contrast images.</em><br />     <em>New Carl Zeiss Planar T* 50mm F1.4 ZA SSM (model SALF0F14Z)</em><br />     <em>The  new Planar T* 50mm F1.4 ZA SSM prime lens joins the existing Distagon  24mm, Planar 85mm and Sonnar 135mm in Sony's A-mount range of prime  length optics by Carl Zeiss. With a fixed 50mm focal length and  extra-bright F1.4 aperture, the premium lens is an ideal choice for  professional-quality portraiture and low-light shooting.</em><br />     <em>Featuring  eight lens elements in five groups with two aspherical elements, the  brand new optical design on the SAL50F14Z lens is optimized for use with  Sony's full-frame α99 camera. The lens maintains exceptional resolving  power and contrast at all apertures, and utilizes a rear-focus system to  focus smoothly, quietly and effectively. It is also dust- and  moisture-resistant, extending the appeal to a wide range of outdoor  shooting applications.</em><br />     <em>New DT 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 SAM II zoom lens (model SAL18552)</em><br />     <em>With  second-generation styling, the new SEL18552 lens succeeds the popular  DT 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 SAM that was introduced in 2011. The light, compact  3x zoom lens maintains the same smooth AF motor (SAM) as its predecessor  with a quieter AF drive, ideal for continuous AF during video capture.  It also features newly-designed rear lens elements that reduce flare and  ghosting, and upgraded mechanical elements for more comfortable  operation.<br />   <br />   New Accessories for Sony Cameras and Camcorders</em><br />     <em>Sony  has also introduced two new accessories compatible with a growing range  of α A-mount and E-mount, Cyber-shot™ and Handycam® models.</em><br />     <em>The  new HVL-F20M external flash, a new space-saving on-camera flash  compatible with all Multi Interface Shoe mounted cameras (includes  relevant A-mount, E-mount and Cyber-shot models) is ideal for  brightening up portraits, interiors and dimly-lit scenes. Despite its  compact size, the new flash is packed with several pro-style features  including wireless control, simple bounce operation and Auto White  Balance compensation for more accurate, natural-looking white balance.  The flash can also be turned on and off easily either by raising or  lowering the flash head.</em><br />     <em>The new RM-VPR1 wired  remote commander features convenient controls for zoom (with relevant  models) and video recording start/stop, and includes a shutter lock  function that's ideal for long-exposure 'bulb' shooting with α cameras.</em><br />     <em>Pricing and Availability</em><br />     <em>The  new SAL70400G2 telephoto zoom lens will be available this July for  about $2200. The SAL50F14Z prime lens and SAL18552 zoom lens will be  available this May for about $1500 and $220 respectively.</em><br />     <em>The  HVL-F20M compact flash will be available this May for about $150, and  the RM-VPR1 wired remote commander will be available this April for  about $65.</em><br />     <em>The Sony α family of cameras, camcorders,  lenses and accessories can be purchased at Sony retail stores, online  at www.store.sony.com and at all other authorized retailers throughout  the Sony dealer network.</em><br /> </div></div></div>
