That's like saying if the Audi A4 cost the same as a Ferrari, looked like a Ferrari and drove as quick as a Ferrari, I'd take the Audi.

Though, like an Audi, the one benefit the F3 has is ease of...

I must say, the primes look fairly underwhelming, I can't imagine any ACs looking forward to working with them and if you're self-shooting you may as well slap a Zeiss ZF on there. Also, I'm not sure...

Ummm no...

You can use lenses designed for cameras with 3 CCDs on cameras with a single CMOS.

The reason why you'll get out-of-focus shots shooting with a small aperture and nice crisp images...

I found it odd that it wasn't in the tech specs. 4:4:4 is a big deal, you'd think they'd flag that up! Maybe they just assumed we'd know it would be 4:4:4 due to the dual link - since that's what...

Then why did YOU call it RAW, when clearly it's not?



Also, I must be as blind as Dean, since I can only see 10bit 4:2:2 mentioned - not 4:4:4.

Anyway, that aside, does anyone know what the...

Giuseppe,

Yes, I saw that S-Log was mentioned. My understanding of S-log is it's a flat gamma curve, good for retaining as much dynamic range as possible, but it's not RAW - or am I...

It would have been a couple of years ago, but the economics have changed and so has technology. Sony are too late to the party with the F3, it looks out-dated and will certainly look outmoded...

Don't worry Steve, I look at this stuff on grade 1 monitors all the time. Also, I contributed a lot of DSLR footage to a prime time documentary broadcast here in the UK on SKY1 and Sky HD last week....

I use the 28mm f/1.8 all the time, usually as a medium shot on interviews, but also as a medium wide for interiors.

It's a good value lens and you can get good bokeh if you are close to your...

The only real question is, can they cut?

I've worked with (sacked) lots of editors with a good technical knowledge, but for whom the art of editing is a mystery.

I've never viewed a film and wondered if the editor knew the close gap commands or how to copy and paste attributes. Pointless and irrelevant.

It depends what you shoot. If it's portraits/fashion or similar I'd want the full frame. For sports/wildlife the 7D wins for me.

In a word, no.

It's a 1/2 inch lens designed for ENG cameras.

I've got two matteboxes - both vignette with a 14mm lens on a 5D. So, if you know of one that will work let me know:)

Simon, If I'm using threaded ND filters I use Tiffen. I usually whack on a 1.2 or 0.9. My variable NDs generally stay in the bag.

Usually I shoot with:
Sharpness 1
Contrast 0
Saturation -1

The 28mm f/2.8 is a poor lens and even at $315 I'd say it's over priced. A much better low cost affordable wide is the Canon 28mm f/1.8.

The Canon 14mm is a special lens, though I'd categorize it...

Sorry Jeremy, that's poor advice. Particularly poor in regards to this camera which shoots very bad 720p and should be avoided at all costs - that is if quality is important to you.
