Reviews are out on the Sony Burano, and we dig into some of the surprising results. Also, we try to give a brief highlight on the Blackmagic NAB announcements, but end up talking about it for much longer than expected (and don’t worry, there’s more coming from us). Also, Sigma releases a new lens, and Lucas thinks Daniel should fully embrace a new photo backup workflow.
