For those of you who were wondering when Nikon was planning to bounce back to all of the recent Canon buzz, here’s your answer!
The Nikon D3s
An update to the beloved Nik0n D3, this guy has some pretty sweet rumored specs and finally a jump into the Full HD world.
Most notably:
-12.1 MP FX sensor (at a 1.3x crop)
-14 fps in still mode (whoa!)
-1080p HD video at 24fps
-ISO 200 to 12800
-Brand New HI-3 ISO range at an expandable 102400 (WTF?!)
No real word yet on whether Nikon is gonna tackle the various frame rates that the Canon 7D is doing, but there is still time. Word on the street it will be announced October 15th.

One very hot topic in the DSLR film world is the coveted PV to EOS lens mount (or Panavision to Canon). We’ve blogged about this before, but now we have a lot more information! In turn, now you will have more information!
As we have mentioned before, the fore runner of the PV to EOS mount is “24″ cinematographer Rodney Charters. Rodney and his crew have been working on a “unknown” promo shoot that I came to find out is called “Indian Gangster.” Check it out on Twitter! They have been busy mounting all kinds of lenses on a 5D.
Oh, but there’s more!!
