2 cool  Gatoraide commercials with tons of cool shots requiring awsome planning
and co-ordination including crazy steady cam shots.

Link of The Day - Make yourlenses Wider faster& Sharper

Doesn't seem possible, but but apearantly that's what it does.
Even if there are a few catches, if you have the right equipment, they say it does wonders.

Link of The Day - 600fps <$1000

JVC is releasing a consumer cam corder for less than $1000 that will have

29.5mm (pretty wide) F1.2 lens.  (F1.2!!!)
12mp stills @ 9fps
Wifi w/ android app
touch screen on the camera
video upto 600fps - no word of what resolution for 600fps but will do  1080@60 fps (which is alreadyahead of most DSLRs)

They are marketing it to coaches and sports groups not film makers.
Probable not great as an A-cam for paid work, but couldl be B/C-cam or used for specific shots or applications.

.
Definately worth keeping an eye on.

Someone at work was on this site and thought the pics might be mine.
They aren't, but there was one or two I had to click on to be sure they weren't.
