Re: DSLR to C100 mark2
I agree with Gary that trying to make footage from a Canon DSLR match footage from a C100 is very difficult and frustrating. Last year we shot around 30 weddings with a C100 Mk I and a 70D. When...

Re: Cheap monopod
I own both the Manfrotto 561BHDV-1and the Benro A48TBS4. The bottom section of the Benro fell off during a wedding only a few months after purchase. It made the rest of that shoot very difficult...

Inexpensive glass on a nice camera?
A few years ago, a friend told me that he would rather have a very nice lens on a cheap camera body than an inexpensive lens on a high end camera. However, since switching to interchangeable lens...

Re: 24p vs 60p for Wedding Films
I don't think it's fair to say that either 24p or 30p looks better. I think they each have advantages disadvantages. I prefer the look of 24p for weddings while I prefer the look of 30p for most...

Re: 24p vs 60p for Wedding Films
I tend to prefer to look of 24p to 30p but it's one of those things where I don't think many clients are going to be able to tell a difference.

Re: Beach Wedding, advice needed.
Todd, do you place lavs on the groom and/or officiant? If so, what do you use to reduce wind noise? I've got a beach wedding coming up in a month and I'm a little concerned that my tiny Rycote wind...

Re: Sony rx10ii fz1000 6d 70d
This is a really subjective issue because you'll find people on every side who are 100% convinced their camera is the best. I own 2 Canon C100 Mark 1s and I absolutely swear by them as they continue...

24p vs 60p for Wedding Films
For the past few years I've been shooting all wedding films in 24p which has worked out quite well. I shoot with two Canon C100 Mark I's which can only shoot 1080p30 or 1080p24 but one of my...

Don, thanks for the suggestion. The G20 has AE Lock (touch) which allows you to select from "Normal" or "Highlights" but unfortunately when this is used then the camera reverts to manual exposure...

Canon G20 auto exposure too bright
I use a Canon G20 as my backup/safety camera during weddings alongside two Canon C100s and my 70D. I set it up as a wide, static, unmanned camera so that I know that I always have that camera to cut...

Re: Trouble getting a good audio feed from DJs
