Re: Are we becoming obsessed with quality?
I think it's an interesting question, but I think you are oversimplifying the answer. From my
experience there are many reasons brides ignore the wedding video. Price is the reason for
some and...

Re: Are we becoming obsessed with quality?
So, in the interest of full disclosure. As you said, I WAS going to be shooting the wedding anyways.
So guess what? I had an HD Hero cam on a slider (mounted on a tripod) to do a couple 'artsy'...

Re: Are we becoming obsessed with quality?
A lot of interesting discussion here. For what it's worth, I do weddings, but I certainly don't
make my total living doing them. I do corporate video, interviews, freelance news, pick up editing,...

Re: GH3 vs D800 vs FS100 which to get?

Possibly...

Paul,
Problem is, the IS version is very big and heavy, whereas the non-IS version (now discontinued and
a bit hard to find) is nice and light. So having the IS version almost seems to cancel...

Re: Unreliable iris while using Metabones adapter
Yeah, it's not really a problem once you know about it. I just didn't know about it and
wrongly assumed that the firmware update had 'killed' the ability to have focus distance and
zoom position...

Re: VG-20.....new to me
Thanks. It won't be perfect, but short of another fs100 my guess was this was as good a
match as I could get. And lots of stuff I shoot could use 2 cams. Even on a simple interview,
it's nice...

Re: FS100 wide angle lens
There's tons of good wide angle lenses. Tokina 11-16 is popular. I've got a Sigma 10-20
