That’s right! Everybody else has done one, why not me!? Unlike all the other blogs you go to, this blogger is by far the best looking, smartest and healthiest around. I even smell good, (ever since I started showering once a day). So listen up, here is MY listing of the top 5 movies ever made. Sure you’ve seen everyone’s top 10, top 5, etc. This is the era of myspacers and twitter, which keep people interconnected through minute to minute updates, not actual one on one human interaction… but it’s time to get to the list, the greatest of which has ever been assembled! And remember, this is one of the most important things that you are going to hear all day-So Focus!

5.) Citizen Kane

4.) The Shawshank Redemption

3.) The Wizard of Oz

2.) City of the Lost Children

1.) Memories of Murder

There is a reason that you haven’t heard of the top 2… you aren’t cool enough

It has been interesting to watch new and innovative cameras explore the world of video. Panasonic announced 3 new cameras today, 2 of which capture full HD!

Reprinted from a Panasonic press release:

Today, Panasonic announced the new LUMIX DMC-FP8 digital camera as part of its new FP-Series, which pursues excellence in both design and function.  The LUMIX FP8, with 12.1 megapixels, features a high-quality 28mm wide-angle, 4.6x Leica DC lens with folding optics* – encased in a futuristic-looking stylish body.

In addition to its unique design, the FP8 also features advanced functions including high-speed Auto Focus (AF) and Panasonic’s Intelligent Auto (iA) suite of technologies.  With a fast AF, combined with a high-speed start-up of only 0.95 seconds, the FP8’s fast response catches even the most fleeting shots.  Panasonic’s iA, a popular feature on LUMIX cameras, now includes POWER Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) which features double the repression power compared to the previous image stabilization system, MEGA O.I.S.  The hand-shake generated when pressing the shutter button, or when shooting at night with a slow shutter speed, is significantly minimized by the improved POWER O.I.S. to help reduce blurry photos.

When we hit NAB, there was this feeling in the air that the new & the future will be 3D. Panasonic actually revealed their take on the issue at NAB, and recently I was thinking about how impressive this technology actually is. So I thought that I’d mention the prototype they announced as the Panasonic “3D Full HD” camcorder.

It’s looks crazy and it shoots crazy but will it work?

According to Panasonic, the camera will operate by placing two cameras side by side into a single chassis. Most 3D movies are generally done by mounting two cameras together, so this would be a slight variation with the same idea. The video from both camcorders are then linked together and exported as 3D video.

So I’m not entirely certain if this is a new technology that I’m interested in seeing get developed. Why to be honest? Why should I? What benefit does 3D have? I feel like there is no point, but who am I really… Just a guy that shoots video every single day.

Tech-On! is reporting that a new resistive touch panel that enables multi-point detection for up to nine points, was put on display by Touchpanel Laboratories. The technology seems very impressive, and seems to also be able to navigate around a curved surface. Touchpanel Laboratories also demonstrated how a potential touch panel-based ordering system would work that restaurants could use. For which the have plans to install into bars in & around the country. Be sure to check out the story, and be sure to let us know what you think!
