Hasta La Gadget!

We had heard of Canon’s UHD-DIGISUPER 122 which was announced recently, but we got an opportunity to see one in action at Inter Bee 2018 in Tokyo, and it was indeed very impressive.

Technically, the optical range of this lens is nutty: it can go from 8.2mm to 1000mm. 1000 divided by 8.2 is a factor of 121.05, hence the 122X optical zoom number. It has a f/1.7 to f/5.0 aperture. Oh, and it weighs 26Kg!

The bulk and weight of broadcasting cameras are one of the reasons why such zoom capabilities are needed. Because the equipment remains fixed at one location during an event, the formidable zoom reach allows the director to focus on small details such as a ball, or small details that would fit in one’s hand from half a football field away.

Seeing this lens in action is awe-inspiring and fun to play with. Canon had a couple of cameras equipped with the lens, and we could zoom in and out at will to check on the superb image quality.

The DIGISUPER 122 is the latest evolution of the product line that included the UHD DIGISUPER III (8.3-925mm), DIGISUPER 86 (9.3-800mm) and DIGISUPER 90 (9.3-810mm).

The DIGISUPER 122 will start shipping in “Late April 2019” according to Canon, and there’s also a DIGISUPER 111 that will come out in Feb 2019. We’re not sure about the pricing, but they sure cost a pretty penny, and it’s not something that you’ll get on Amazon. You can watch the official Canon video below:

If you’re a person even remotely annoyed by the pervasive presence of ads in virtually every digital space, it’s probably safe to assume you definitely don’t want them in your email. Microsoft appears to have only just realized this.

Last month, the producer behind Netflix’s Castlevania animated series Adi Shankar posted on Instagram that he would be working with an “iconic Japanese gaming company” to adapt an “iconic video game series” into an animated series. This led to speculation that Shankar could be working on a Legend of Zelda animated series.

However as it turns out, that is not the case as a report from IGN basically confirms that Shankar will be working on a “Devil May Cry” animated series, where according to the producer, it “will join Castlevania in what we’re now calling the bootleg multiverse.” For those unfamiliar, Shankar kind of built a name for himself by creating his own series of short films based around Marvel’s Venom and The Punisher, all of which exist in his “bootleg universe”.

In an interview with IGN’s Jacki Jing, Shankar revealed that he had acquired the rights to Devil May Cry himself in an attempt to prevent the “jabronis in Hollywood” from screwing it up. However there is no word on when the series is expected to be launched, and which platform it will be available on.

It is odd that Castlevania and Devil May Cry will exist in a multiverse given that they are both made by different companies, but then again games like Super Smash Bros. have shown how different franchises by different developers can still play nicely together in the same game. In any case we’ll have to wait for more details for the series, but in the meantime fans of Devil May Cry can probably rejoice at this news.
