Re: Is the F3 for me?
Charles,
S-Log is lost if your final output is TV which must confront with the much more limited HD standard.
Glenn,
For your kind of work, I think the biggest difference is the lack of ND...

Re: Canon USA Announces EOS 5D Mark III
Its very difficult to estimate the number of people who bought Canon for video, because most of them are using it for stills also.
Myself for example, bought it for both, but I would have get a...

Re: F3 Discountinued?
In Abel Cine is still available but also with rebates up to $1200. I think 1 year cycle, for such a high end model is very short. Yet again the competition is in full throttle now, so a new model may...

Re: Canon USA Announces EOS 5D Mark III
For those whose interest on 5DIII is mainly for video, $3,5K is very close to the dedicated competition (AF101 $4.3K, FS100 $4,7K) and more expensive than the main antagonist (D800 $3K).
Spec wise...

Re: Canon USA Announces EOS 5D Mark III
Josh, doing simple maths:16384Mb/1320sec=12.4MB/sec or 100Mbit rate.
For an intraframe codec is not a lot. Space wise the interframe codecs are usually 2.5x more efficient than intraframe, so...

Re: Act of Valor movie shot on 5D
I think the maturity of the DSLR gear with 1Dx, D4, D800 and the upcoming 5Diii (I will be surprised if they'll wait more than a couple of months to announce it), will really change the way, even...

Re: What kind of lenses are you planing to use
Thanks for the correction Alister. You are absolutely right. By using a smaller area of the projected image, we change the perceived view, not the actual ability of the lens to converge light. I had...

In regard with the focal length:
The lens is essentially a light covergence device, that can project and magnify an...

Re: What kind of lenses are you planing to use
Andy,
The NIKON are 1.5X crop while the Canon is slightly smaller at 1.6X* . That means that Nikon DX or other manufacturers (Tokina, Sigma, Sony etc) lenses, cover more than the Canon's EF-S...

Re: What kind of lenses are you planing to use
I have the 17-55 2.8 IS paired with the 7D and I'm very pleased with its visual, weather and IS performance. If it was EF it would have an L designation.

Has anyone tested, if it...

Re: Nikon D800 with video features
Is amazing that even in DX mode the resolution is 15+ megapixels (if I didn't make any calculating errors). On par with D4. In a way is a D4X with D700 price tag. The only thing that remains to be...
