Regarding the boom and lav - use both. Maybe the lav picks up clothing noise. Maybe the talent moves off axis from the boom. Maybe one of the channels overloads. Maybe one sounds better than the...

I agree that changing the color in post is the cost effective way to achieve the result. As long as the audience believes the effect, it doesn't matter how realistic it is. In fact, realism can often...

Re: 5D4 Wish List
One feature difference between the 80D and the current 5D line is that the 80D has a flip-screen.
Yeah, there are times that this would be more convenient than attaching a monitor. That said, I...

Re: used c100 mk1 - still make sense?
I doubt that any NAB announcement would undermine the used market price of a C100 mkI. Buy used. Make use of it. Sell it when that new NAB cam is actually shipping.
Let's imagine that the C100...

Re: Ducking music or not??
One thing that really helps is complimentary EQ for voice and music. If the two don't compete, there's less need to duck. Here's what I do by band:

In any case, good point about the rugged build of the 1D line. Extended battery life is the other pro feature that most amateurs don't need.

Sept 2008 - 5D2
Sept 2009 - 7D
Oct 2009 - 1D4
Oct 2011 - 1DX

Re: 5D4 Wish List
That's the rub, isn't it?
If the 5D4 does too much, it cannibalizes 1DX2 or EOS-C. If it does too little, the competitors leave it in the dust.
I predict the key difference between the 5D4 and...

Re: What is this Banding caused by?
1/120 or 1/60 are your best options.
Power cycles at 60 times a second, but there is a positive and a negative swing to the sine wave. Lamps generate light regardless of voltage polarity, so the...

Yes, the key to good DSLR video is to turn the gain to the minimum above zero to turn the analog noise in the camera as far down as possible. To make that...

Good point about needing to compete with the a7S ii. Assuming that the specs are in the same ballpark, some might choose Canon for lens compatibility without the need for an adapter.

Re: Official Canon Website Release EOS 1DX2
Well... there's the 14mm f/2.8 prime. That gets you a 19mm equivalent.
The Tokina 11-16 is f/2.8 and I believe that its image circle is a bit larger than ASP-C. In fact, at 16mm, my understanding...

Re: Official Canon Website Release EOS 1DX2
The width of the 4K image is 1/1.34 the width of the full frame image. This is similar to the APS-H size of an older generation of 1D cameras. That makes it a bit tough for ultra-wide angle shots. A...

Re: Official Canon Website Release EOS 1DX2
4K looks to be the ideal solution for DSLR video.
When DSLRs were first released, they skipped pixels to go from the ~20 MP sensors to the ~2 MP of HD. The aliasing was horrible. The 5D3 added...
