Re: Native ISO 5D3
My first thought was to wonder what options the mkIII has as far as noise reduction - it's clear it kicks in at 1250 as all the fine noise disappears at that point. Makes sense as I've noticed in...

Re: So, is the 5D3 soft?
I've never been bothered by the low level of detail in the mkII as long as the overall image looks good. I've never been able to use the in-camera sharpening at all though - even at it's lowest level...

Re: Canon EOS 5D Mk. II cameras shoot Act Of Valor
There is one short scene where it looks incredibly bad - just two people walking at night. It was clearly shot at 30p and retimed to 24p in post, and very high ISO with heavy noise reduction - things...

Re: Canon USA Introduces Three New EF Lenses
Don't forget that Canon's largest market for lenses is still photographers, not videographers, probably by a pretty wide margin. I don't find it all surprising that they'd cater to that market with...

Re: Super 35 Movie Maker
Chance is always present in the creative process - I don't think that's exclusive to using a camera like this. But those examples just further affirm my feelings about this camera. Imagine the exact...

Re: What kind of lenses are you planing to use
I've been editing a bunch of handheld stuff for a doc lately, much of which was shot on the 24-105, some on the 24-70 - and I have to say I'm on the fence about the IS. On the one hand it definitely...

Re: Sustained Transfer Speed for Editing 5D files
Native files run about 6 megabytes/second, so... any raid is likely overkill. Even with a several layers of video you're still well within the capabilities of a single drive, and you're more likely...

Re: Shooting for B&W with the 5D Mark II
You'll get better control over the tonality of the final image using either the channel mixer filter or RGB balance followed by a cc filter set to desaturate. Either of these let you control the...

I suspect this is exactly what is planned for the 4k DSLR prototype they've been talking about - take the same sensor and add an option to debayer to a full 4k image. The fact that they've described...

Maybe I'm confused about what you're suggesting, but it sounds like you're describing a standard bayer filter, which would of course require debayering. Plus, taking four adjacent samples and...

Re: sync drift: which FCP setup for 23.98?
My guess is you've still got the timebase in the FCP easy setup somehow at 30 instead of 29.97 from using the old easy setup - I had this problem as well. The problem is once it's screwed up for a...

Re: Uncompressed Video vs H.264 ?
No. The camera does not put out a clean, full HD signal via HDMI, so it's not really compatible with any of the external recorders that have hit the market recently.
