Re: Shooting into sun lit background for ceremony
Yeah, in the past, I probably would have just rolled with whatever was going on.
But this past year, I really was more "assertive" in my attempts to fix things that I knew would improve the video,...

Re: New compact Canon 4K video camera?
Very interesting. 4K is definitely getting more and more affordable as the days move forward. Probably by Dec 2015 I may be ready to upgrade all HD gear to 4K.

The 17-55 F2.8 is my workhorse lens.
Then 70-200 VR2 F2.8 I use second most.
Third is the Tokina 11-16 F2.8 for UWA.

Re: Canon Vixia Mini
Yeah, I got one. We'll see how it works out.
I didn't figure there was enough difference between the 2 to make any difference for how I'm using it.

Anyone using these little guys?
It's almost like a GoPro replacement (wide angle mainly).
These are on sale today at BH for $129 ($170 off) and I'm thinking that I may get a couple.

Re: Sony a7s for weddings
I'm editing one right now where one of the cameras was an a7s with 24-70 F4 lens.
I haven't noticed that. But, we shot outside on a very cloudy day at dusk.
I'll watch more closely and see....

Re: Canon Legria Creative mini X
These are on sale at BH today for $129 ($170 off).
I figure at that price I can get two for the price of one.
If I don't like them, I can sell them and not lose anything later at that price.

In a situation like that, with a small venue, we would definitely not use a full crew on that. 2 people max.
I could make the case for single person doing both photo and video as there is no...

Anything new on this? Did you get the comparison done and posted?
I just saw this on B&H, and for $339, it looks like an amazing alternative to the GoPro for wedding work.

Re: What are you using for a safety camera?
In the back, I use a Canon XA20 for my "wide shot", which runs beside my NX5U normally.
Then for the wedding party entrance, I usually try and stick a Canon HV40 up front pointed down the aisle.
