Re: NEX-5N review

Not even close. The Canon xf300 50mbps 4:2:2 mpeg2 codec blows the Sony XDCam mpeg2 codecs at 35mbit away. And also the AVCHD on the FS100 is no match for the canon codec.

Music video - Shot with Canon 7d & 5d - Jessica Wolff

Hi all fellow dv-people.

We recently completed a music video that we shot for our friend. Utilised two canon 7d's as our main cameras and one 5d for some singing shots. Comments always...

Re: XA 10: Wide Angle adaptor vs STD lens

Lower the contrast? But it isn't that good? People have been trying to increase dynamic range and lower the contrast but you can just pluck on a wide angle lens that does it for you! Yay!

I don't...

Re: XF300 vs. 7d

Yes, these 1/3 inch cameras are great for event work. But where the DSLR's shine is narrative work. You do double audio anyway and everything is controlled. The positives outweight the negatives.

Re: XF300 vs. 7d

It will look even worse on a deep dof camera such as the XF-series. I've seen a lot of poorly shot documentary footage where the focus is on the backwall instead of the speaker. Never seen anything...

Re: XF300 - very bad Moire pattern

FCP7 is also pretty weird in the way it downscales.

My workflow is to do a quicktime conversion export from the HD timeline (progressive sequence) to an SD prores at 720x576 (pal). This prores...

Re: XF300 - very bad Moire pattern

Your output to dvd was probably screwed. Like if you just put the HD version onto DVD Studio Pro it will convert to SD with very, very bad quality. This will introduce all kinds off artifacts.

Re: XF105 and ND Filter

Re: FS100 or F3?

Where are these "comparable" clips? The only real (not vimeo compressed) clips I've seen show that the F3 is slightly sharper. That's it.

Re: Canon Vixia HF G10 Sample videos

Re: Canon Vixia HF G10 Sample videos

It's called bob-deinterlacing. It effectively creates two progressive images from one interlaced. It's not rocket science.



And it would be way more horrible than having a 60i image. Try it out...

Re: Canon Vixia HF G10 Sample videos

Maybe you should learn the difference between 60 and 30? Yes, 60 is interlaced, but that is still 2x more temporal information. Eric has it right.

Re: Warp Stabilizer = future steadicam

You can get rid of those by diselecting the "warp" mode and using traditional transform stabilising within warp stabiliser.

Re: Interline Twitter and sharpness

FCP scaling is only bad when you mix up your interlace settings. Trying to scale material that FCP deems as "interlaced" will look horrible. Scaling material that is properly set as progressive will...

Re: Canon XA10 and HFG10 pics and impressions - CES 2011

With what lens? The 7d is horrible in low light with the f3.5 kit lens but pretty damn good with an f1.4 lens.

Is the XA10 as good as the 7d with a f1.4 lens? Or as bad with the f3.5?

Re: Sony to expand 35mm large format NXCAM lineup

Or it may have the same rolling shutter as RED in 2k mode. Which means about half, but also only 1/4 of the pixels is used.

Or it may have a "slightly" better rolling shutter when shooting high...

Re: Sony to expand 35mm large format NXCAM lineup

Why do you say that? All the other 2/3 or 1/3 cmos sensors exhibit the same amount of rolling shutter, why would scarlet be any different?
