It's actually not new technology. a 7-10k handheld camera. some dude is walking around with it in End Zones filming the shots. but it does add something cool.

But it is new to a lot of people and it is new for live action NFL games.

Supposedly the Cannon lens is not a $30k+ lens and is in the "affordable" range for many. For lens geeks that could easily be $10k-$20k.

Because it was an extreme close up of one player with the entire background out of focus.

I would fire whoever thought that was a good idea. You actually saw less of the celebrations.

That's how reality looks. Your eyes focus on what you're looking at and everything else just blurs. That's probably why it looks like you're there.

I want to see them advance the camera to a point where you can get better challenges angles out of the camera. Can you imagine that level of clarity on a review play? They already experimenting with the focus but they could change the game of sports broadcasting if applying that style for a functional purpose.

thats fine but I personally thought the effect was incrediblely cool and unique as I’m sure others did as well.

regardless of the background component which you didn’t like, the definition was unreal

strongly disagree. The way the foregrounds looked crystal clear and everything behind them was blurry was incredibly annoying and ugly. The camera person apparently had the ability to switch because then the foreground was blurry and the background was clear which was even worse. At times it was all clear and that looked good, but I hated those shots.

It was decent...when it was in focus. Often times, that was not the case.

Now, if only they could actually show replays of some more plays with questionable spots instead of stupid sideline shots and other useless filler.

Imagine the clarity of the butt fumble if we had this technology then?

Seriously, I thought it was cool wish they try more of it for in game stuff too.
