Re: Not sure if UHD is going to be like 720p was.
In one of my posts earlier on in this thread I mentioned that if a company shoots in 4K then it could certainly help them to mention "We shoot in 4K" and then explain the benefits to the bride and...

Re: Sony a7s for weddings
James, apparently this issue also occurred with the FS100 and FS700 according to this article:

Re: Canon 70-200mm F/4 vs. F/2.8 for Ceremony
Robert, that's definitely good information to know that some of the less expensive USM lenses don't play well with the continuous AF. Do you remember which lenses those were? Right now if I'm going...

Re: Not sure if UHD is going to be like 720p was.
I still have some clients that have trouble playing back 720p videos on Vimeo so I would be hesitant to send a video to a client as 4K unless I also sent them another link at a lower resolution. ...

Re: Canon 70-200mm F/4 vs. F/2.8 for Ceremony

Re: Canon 70-200mm F/4 vs. F/2.8 for Ceremony
A friend of mine has the Canon 70-200mm F/2.8 and it's an amazing lens. I would suggest using the IS version as I've found out with my 70-200 F/4 IS, the IS can be invaluable even if you're on a...

Re: Canon 70-200mm F/4 vs. F/2.8 for Ceremony
Paul, if you want to get a variety of shots during the ceremony with the 600D then you'll probably want a fast zoom lens that will be sharp wide open. Unfortunately, I've found (like you've seen...
