Trade Review

"A huge thank you to Kurt Lancaster for giving a voice to DSLRs in this new trail-blazing book."

—Shane Hurlbut, ASC, DP of Terminator Salvation

"This book should be in every camera bag. A rich, comprehensive, and poetic examination of how filmmakers and cinematographers are creating stunning moving imagery."

—Rodney Charters, ASC, DP of the TV series 24

"Kurt has written a masterpiece in DSLR books—something that everyone starting to make a movie should read."

—planetMitch (planet5D.com)

"Out of nowhere, two DSLR cameras came out, and over a period of 18 months, they have been embraced by everyone from Lucasfilm to keen enthusiasts. This is easily the most exciting time I have experienced in my 20 or so years in the business."

—Philip Bloom, DP, director, filmmaker (philipbloom.net)
