This is a job for greenscreen and after effects. I've been shooting gs and then compositing people into virtual sets for the last two weeks. While a bit labor intensive, the results are worth it....

Yeah...tech specs only tell part of the story. The 300/305 are fantastic cameras even with the 1/3" chips. Only camera close for around the same money is the sony ex1r. I have cut tons of footage...

Ahh! That would explain why I haven't seen the issue you had. I use the scopes/waveform as a setup and quick check then turn them off when recording. As for the focus issue, I have it too so it must...

The 300 and 5D/7D/T2i cut together beautifully. Catch is you will want to dial down the color in the 5D to match the 300 better.

As for usefulness, depends on what you are shooting. The 300 gets...

I would never buy equipment without having cash in hand. Too many things can go wrong and you're screwed credit-wise and can owe a ton of money very quickly.

I like the z- finder but it got a LOT more comfy to use with the eyepiece chamois they sell for $5
I do wear glasses and it really helps.

Lots of threads on this but in a nutshell, ProRes 422 1920x1080 and whatever frame rate you shoot.
How you get there is the real debate.
I use mpeg streamclip (free app) which does batch...

XF is a killer camera. Depending on the types of shots, might want to look at the AF100 paired with a Nanoflash since it gives you the DOF and interchangeable lens option.
If those aren't a concern,...

Don't bother with the panny 170. Lots of time on that and it's siblings, the 200, 150, and 40. The Sony EX's and Canon XF blow them all away but are quite a bit more money. The expense of P2 really...

Hey Andy!
The xf300 goes out to a 527mm equivalent which is near double the xf100. If youre happy with the 300mm, sounds like you've talked yourself into the swap. I have a 100-400mm for my 7d...
