Nikon D4 – Capable of 2,464 × 1,384 at 24fps?

The new Nikon D4 has a 2.5 Megapixel burst mode at 24fps. The question now is, what is the
“Max Continuous Burst” on this camera. Most Nikons seem to be limited to 100. But if this were increased 100 fold, you could have bursts of individual still frames lasting for several minutes at a quality that would completely obliterate any other competing video modes. IF you’ve tested this mode and know its limits, let someone know. With all the sites getting these cameras for testing, no one has tried out this mode yet.

Official Capabilities from D4 Brochure:
• FX-format photographs taken in movie live view (16:9): 4,928 × 2,768 (L), 3,696 × 2,072

• DX-format photographs taken in movie live view (16:9): 3,200 × 1,792 (L), 2,400 × 1,344

Hacked GH1 at 100mb vs Panasonic GH2

In this video we have an absolute direct comparison to the latest lpowell patch for the GH1 vs the Gh2 at 1080p 24.

Quick notes: GH2 still has the upper hand in color reproduction and absolute resolution, but this is as close as a hacked GH1 can get to a GH2.

iPhone 4 Commercial ft. Morgan Freeman

Following the success of the original iPhone commercial released in August 2009, we created a new spot based on all of the features that are available with jailbreaking the new iPhone 4. This includes using “Display Out” and the variable functionality of BT Stack to use Bluetooth devices like Wiimotes and keyboards to extend features that are not implemented well with just a touch screen. Another objective of the spot was to give light to the iPhodroid project witch allows android to run on the 3G, and can currently be used to hack PS3’s with version 3.41 firmware. Akira created a hilarious “iPhone” song for the commercial and impersonated the voice of Morgan Freeman to lend a familiar tone to the spec commercial.

Vengeance Rides a Train – Dude where’s my new Episode?

In early 2009 Akira and I posted Vengeance Rides a Train on youtube. It was embedded in a few sites, and generally received good attention and reviews from the people that watched it. Generally the biggest complaint was the “jello cam” effect which is going to be so retro in 10 years. After posting this, we started getting asked when the next episode was coming. Months went by, scripts were written, (we have next 3 episodes written and ready to be filmed). The problem? Budget. Without at least 1.5 million views on the first episode, it makes it financially un-viable to launch a second episode. The hits are needed in order to at least put a down payment on financing of a second and third episode. We did however create a couple of mini teasers for a second episode, which also have received a fair amount of hits. So if comes down to our fans. If you want to see a second episode, help us help you. (Yes, imagine Tom Cruise in your mind saying that) Post the original around to various websites, help us get it to at least a million views and we will deliver a second episode that will blow you away. Literally. You monitor will explode from the sheer incredibility of what is happening on screen.
