DPs Seeing Red

A company simply called RED is tantalising digital cinematographers with their promise on an otherwise information-scarce website of a 2540p camera based on a full frame 4K CMOS.

That's as much a resolution increase over 1080-line HD as 1080-line HD is over standard definition.

iMac Back Home

I got my iMac back today after three weeks.

I'm happy with the AppleCentre store that did the repairs but still very frustrated that Apple doesn't let them keep spare power supplies in stock (and then takes 2 weeks to ship them).
