Came across this interesting comparison from an owner of both an F3 and a RED Scarlet (which would be waaaaaay outside my price range to consider a Scarlet!): http://timurcivan.com/2012/04/an-examination-of-sony-f3-and-red-scarlet-a-direct-comparison/ <<The biggest problem i have is deciding...

Does a Sony F3 still make sense to people in 2015? Because have you seen on eBay lately just how cheap they're going? :-o You can pick up a Sony F3 for similar pricing to a new BMCC. The expensive SxS media puts me off, but this appears to be an easy way to avoid that expense...

Rokinon 16 + 24 + 35 + 50 + 85 + 135 is a sweet setup for an URSA Mini. (plus 10mm if you need UWA and 100mm if you need the macro. Though personally I like my Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 just fine for UWA, and macro is a rather niche use that I've already got covered with numerous other lenses so I'll...

Awesome, Transcend is entering the CFast market. More competition, going to lead to lower prices. "The CFX600 cards are available in 128GB($249), 256GB($499) and 512GB($949) capacities. "...

Tip: don't do it!! They're infamous for being absolute hell for your gear. If you do it anyway, just bring along cheap gear you don't mind losing if it gets trashed.

Why get a 70D in the first place??? Is such a poor choice for shooting films with You can get better cameras for less, for example: Sony A6000, Panasonic G7, Nikon D5200. And no, Rokinon doesn't have optical stabilisation. Primes with OIS is in the minority. And cinema lenses basically almost...

As it is a casual thing just go with whatever your DP owns that is suitable. Simple.

SLR Magic (their good stuff, not their early cheapies) makes nice stuff too. I've got one of their 25mm T0.95

Why F65? F55 usually makes more sense. And heck, unless there is a specific feature from the F55 that you need, I'd suggest instead going with the Sony FS7 instead. If your budget is substantial, which it sounds like it, you should of course also be considering the Arri Alexa. At a cheaper...

Well, as I stated before I'd love to have a FS7. I think it is an awesome camera. (I haven't shot with it yet, but been a DoP with the previous FS700) However the cost to get started with it is very steep. It is not just the body which is $8k. You'll need the media which will run several...

I own the RJ Lens Turbo (Nikon F to m4/3), and been an AC on a music video shoot with Metabones (EF to m4/3). I've read way more than enough about both to see if there are any optical differences between them at all of note, it isn't worth the extra hundreds of dollars. And I've heard of more...

jrusso, why don't you like your BMPCC? It is in my view the best camera made by BMD for general filmmaking (until the URSA Mini 4.6K starts shipping). Edit: on second thoughts.... I think you're referring not to the BMPCC at all, but Wooden Box's product and then your comment makes sense.

A GH4 with a focal reducer is perfecfle capable of the indoor filming you wish to do. They are not challenge low light situations! No deep need to get a A7s here. Even my old GH1 can handle such situations. I'd absolutely keep your Nikon glass,it is waaay more preferable to adapt to others...

Holy cr*p you can afford to drop the kind of dough needed to buy a FS7??? Remember, you'll need to double or even triple+ the price of a FS7 body to fully get it up and working. Also I don't believe even an FS7 (which is my dream camera BTW outside an Arri Alexa) will last a person 10 or...

Exactly, the battery design of the BMCC is a PRO and not a CON.

So so so wrong about deep DoF. Kinda hilarious a person is advocating a FF for DoF, hahaha! Ironic.

Indoors with a few living room lights is not a terribly challenging situation. So a Sony A7s would be total overkill. Even my old Panasonic GH1 with a fast lens could handle this situation with ease. (And you can pick up a used GH1 for US$150ish, is the best bargain buy you can find! Other...

If you want to save a buck get the RJ Lens Turbo instead, is what I use with my m4/3 cameras. And for goodness sake don't buy Canon EF glass, they're the worst for adapting. http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/9086/rj-lens-turbo-m43-adapters/p1

Nikon is a vastly better camera here than the Canon. Even the older D5200 (which is one of the many cameras I own) is already as good as Canon's 5Dmk3 (which is a much better camera than the 60D). http://www.eoshd.com/2013/02/nikon-d5200-vs-canon-5d-mark-iii/...

jsnbasanti, size is I presume why, as when kept small the BMPCC is a truly beautiful thing. Is the only reason I was half considering it over my DR-60D, but cancelling that thought entirely after reading this thread.
