The Canon Rebel line have always been excellent entry level cameras, so Chris and I were eager to check out the specs on the latest camera. We discovered quickly that the T5i is essentially a Rebel T4i with a new kit lens. We felt that the shortest TCSTV review ever was the appropriate response, and here you have it.

Canon U.S.A. has launched a new educational resource that may be of interest to your readers – the Cinema EOS C500 4K Digital Cinema Camera Menu Simulator. Developed by the Canon Digital Learning Center (CDLC), the EOS C500 Menu Simulator is a fully interactive platform that allows users to familiarize themselves with the camera’s Main Menu and Custom Picture Menu. With this innovative training tool, prospective users of the EOS C500 can navigate the simulated menu system with a mouse, keyboard arrow keys or their fingers (when using a touch screen device). Ideal for cinematographers, camera operators, camera assistants, producers, and directors, the Menu Simulator provides a platform to research camera behavior and features. For added convenience, the EOS C500 Menu Simulator has been optimized for use on personal computers and tablet devices so it can be used at home, on set, or on-the-go.

Are expensive cameras needed to take great video? NO!
You can take a video with your iphone. Also, there are many devices which can help the iphone to take better video. Here are videos of taking videos with iphone and introduction of those helpful devices.
If you don't have iphone, don't worry! You can still take the video with your galaxy, too! Delete the scoop?

All video professionals and indie filmmakers put a great deal of effort into their final product. Many of them wish to go a step beyond and achieve that pinnacle of video nirvana known as - "The Film Look." In this segment we will discuss what "The Film Look" means, why film and video look so different in the first place and how you too can achieve "The Film Look" in your next project.
planetMitch's insight:
A good basic introduction to what makes up the "film look" and why larger sensors like in DSLRs get you closer to the film look than traditional small sensor video cameras Delete the scoop?

The Teradek VidiU is the latest consumer level HDMI H.264 encoder that streams 1080p video at up to 5Mbps over dual band 802.11 a/b/g/n MIMO WiFi, Ethernet, or a 3G/4G USB cellular modem. VidiU is certified by Ustream and the new Livestream platforms, but also includes a generic RTMP interface that enables streaming to any other platform on the Web. Despite the device's compact, light weight chassis, VidiU packs a number of great features including an intuitive OLED display, built-in Li-Ion battery, mic/line input, and iOS monitoring & control via the free VidiU application. 10Delete the scoop?
