An optional Camera HoldFast Accessory Clip lets you attach the leash to the tripod mount of your camera. ![]() ![]() Although strong enough to support a DSLR, we think it’s the perfect (and handsome) accessory for smaller models. Instead of using synthetic material, which is so common nowadays, HoldFast fashions its leashes from real leather. But if you’re shooting with one of the many advanced compact cameras on the market, you may be interested in a smaller carrying solution like HoldFast’s Camera Leash. Shoulder and neck straps-including those for dressing yourself with multiple cameras-are great.

And that’s just a quick look at some of the features this handsome and capable camera has to offer. Above and beyond the basic manual and semi-manual features one expects from an advanced compact camera, you’ll find Fuji’s unique film simulation modes, motion panorama, multiple exposures, virtual level, histogram, split-image focusing and focus peaking as well as RAW shooting. Solidly built, the X100S weighs almost a pound fully loaded, and measures a manageable 5.0 x 2.9 x 2.1 inches. Alternatively, users can disable the sensor and set the camera to either viewfinder or LCD. Automatic switching between the camera’s 2.8-inch, 460K-dot LCD and viewfinder is possible via an eye sensor. With a flick of a switch, it changes from an optical viewfinder to an electronic viewfinder and back again. Despite its retro look, the X100S actually sports a hybrid viewfinder. This 16-megapixel camera is equipped with a new X-Trans CMOS II APS-C-size sensor, fixed 35mm (35mm-equivalent) f/2 to f/16 lens, and has all the visual markings of a rangefinder with its black-and-silver design.

The D16’s bundle includes the camera body, pistol grip, USB 3.0 cable, internal battery, 4 pin XLR battery cable, video cable and transcoder/RAW conversion software. The D16 comes standard with a C-mount but will eventually offer PL, EF, B4, M and Micro four-thirds mounts as options. The D16 also features dual CF card slots multiple ports including headphone, USB 3.0, Audio XLR and mini-HDMI and a trio of ISO settings at 100, 200 and 400. This five-pound, magnesium alloy and hard-plastic camera measures about 5 x 4 x 8 inches (without the detachable pistol grip). In addition to its 16mm-size sensor and 2K, RAW capabilities, the D16 offers a myriad of resolutions including 2336 x 1752, 2048 x 1152, 1920 x 1080, 1280 x 720 and 720 x 480. ![]() You’re in good company, too: Many notable filmmakers such as Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, David Lynch and Andy Warhol used Bolex cameras to shoot their first films.īolex still manufactures its film cameras and although it doesn’t physically produce the D16, the decades-old company oversees quality control for the new digital camera. If you were (or are) a film student, it’s a safe bet that you’re familiar with the Bolex name. Built around a Kodak CCD 16mm-size sensor, the D16, in some ways, reinvents the 8mm and 16mm motion picture cameras developed by Jacques Bogopolsky more than 90 years ago. One of the most exciting crowd-funding projects we’ve seen in the past year is the Digital Bolex D16-a cinema camera that shoots 2K, RAW (Adobe Cinema DNG) footage. Here’s a look at a handful products that may appear to be retro but are, for the most part, built to get today’s job done.ĭigital Bolex D16 video cameraDigital Bolex D16 The same goes for accessories-from camera straps to individual camera cases to larger bags that can accommodate the latest DSLRs and lenses. But just because a camera is built around the latest technological advances doesn’t mean that it can’t have a retro look and feel. Right now, we’re in an age of retro and vintage gear that call to mind the days when rangefinders ruled and film was very much alive and well. Camera styles, like those of clothing, are cyclical. ![]()
