Nikon’s first FX format camera to feature high-definition movie recording offers photographers a whole new level of creative flexibility. The D3S features a highly sensitive 12.1 megapixel FX format CMOS sensor that boasts an ISO range of 200 to 12800. The D-movie function offers superior movie capture in stereo* sound and features a Save Selected frame option to speed up productivity. Nikon’s acclaimed 51-point AF system offers high sensitivity in low-light and superb performance when tracking fast moving subjects. An advanced image sensor cleaning function reduces the impact of dust spots and three alternative crop modes enhance shooting flexibility. The EXPEED image processing engine and expansive buffer enables you to shoot up to 9 fps for extended bursts. Protected by a tough, environmentally-sealed magnesium alloy body, the D3S redraws the boundaries for professional action photography.

Sadly it seems that DVD Studio 4 has had nothing added to it, now this comes as a great surprise as it badly needed an update, personally I think it’s a poor show and Apple are kidding themselves if they think DVD Studio 4 is good enough to take on the likes of Encore CS-4 with full Blu-ray features.

It has been reported by TMZ a reputable entertainment web site in the USA that 50 year old Michael Jackson was found not breathing by paramedics and had suffered a cardiac arrest this afternoon (USA time). I only mention this because Michael for all his differences was a great entertainer and I am sure there are many video production companies around the globe taking their hats off to Mr Jackson for all the business he must have brought them. UPDATE 12.27 GMT “Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We’re told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived. A cardiologist at UCLA tells TMZ Jackson died of cardiac arrest.Once at the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive.” www.tmz.com
