Call me a purist but I believe you coin a new word when it is actually need one. "Episode" is just as good for a series of shows on web or TV.

Yes me too. I used to shoot a lot of photographs on an SLR when I was an undergraduate at art school. Using shallow DOF as a means to make the everyday more abstract and dramatic was my thing back...

Yes I thought this might be the case. Hand-holding a 100mm lens is a bit of stretch. I would love a macro for stills and was wondering whether the IS on the L was worth the extra dollars from a video...

From what I've read Don is right. 1/60 second shutter speeds should cancel flicker in the US, (1/50 here in Australia and in the UK). I would love to know the technical explanation behind this, but...

I've had no problems converting 25p files with neoscene. Matthias, why are you converting 25p as 24.975 fps? You do realise that 25 fps is a PAL standard that, unlike the NTSC frame rates, it is dead...
