There are plenty of shots that show zero aliasing. But when it sneaks in, you have to be ready to deal with it - often instantaneously. The quick fix is to defocus the shot slightly. This is a...

Well, the dof is so shallow because you are wide open. Try cranking the ISO on the 7D and see if you can get the lens stopped down a stop or two. It's worth a try anyway.

This type of lens never has autofocus. Most pros who use this kind of camera actually started with other broadcast/industrial lenses of similar design, and I'm in that camp. You will need to get...

It's a good price for that camera, I think. The lens is certainly nothing to write home about. It suffers from some serious color aberration issues (purple fringing around edges of subjects,...

Can you even buy the 100 model anymore? They updated that to 110 a couple of years ago. Although I own the GY-HD100, and still use it, there's just no way I'd be buying one these days. There are...

If you have the money, the Sound Devices 442 is a nice mixer, and you get one more input. But, it's $1k more than the FP-33. I sort of like the Analog VU meters. Maybe I'm just old fashioned.

Honestly, the codec isn't the biggest problem with the camera. I've done perfect keys with the 5D, after converting the H.264 to ProRes. And the bitrate is not low for H.264. As a matter of fact,...

Nice and smooth for me every time.

I use the DR-HD100 to record M2T streams, and that's what I import to the FCP system. Works like a charm!
