Which one is the better camera? I'm having a bit of an upgrade dilemma(no I can't afford the mkiii). I have a 550d atm and have invested a lot in Canon lenses so I'd need to use an adaptor if I went with the GH3. I also do some photography as well as filmmaking. Obviously the Canon will be...

Im making a promo video for a cafe and would like to show people uploading pictures to facebook. Is this a copyright issue?

Fair enough, ill probably leave it then. Id still like to get a macro lens though as my only one is the old sigma 70 300 apo macro lens which can only do macro at 300mm. I was thinking of killing 2 birds with one stone and get a sigma 28mm 1.8 macro, i could sell my canon 28mm 2.8 to help me...

Reasons?

My friend is offering me his Canon 50mm 2.5 Macro for 30 bucks. The only problem is that the lens was dropped and the aperture doesn't stop down anymore. It's permanently stuck at f2.5. Everything else is fine, even the auto focus. If I'm honest I mostly shoot with my lenses wide open...

I'm aware of general copyright rules,but how come I seem to see a lot of promotional videos for small companies or events that feature commercial songs? I highly doubt some of them have payed for the license for some of these songs. For example, here's one...

I have a canon 28mm 2.8 and 50mm 1.8 at the moment. The 50 is great but the 28 isnt very impressive. Its okay and its good for when I need to go wider, but 2.8 struggles a bit in low light To gove me good looking images and the images can look a bit dull. Im considering selling both and buying...

managed to figure it out, so dont worry :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTDNosVEEyk The intro with the comic book pages seemingly turning really quickly. This affect was also used in the film SHAME towards the ending. I can't seem to find any decent tutorials on how to do this, it all seems to be in spanish or french. Can anyone...

When I say long term investment I don't mean I'm going to stick with it forever. I'm just looking at what is within my budget in this moment in time. There's no way I can afford a $2300 mic and there's no need for something of that price yet anyway. By long term investment I mean I'd rather have...

This is more of a long term investment to be honest, I'm looking to buy something permanently as suppose to renting. In terms of sound recording I was thinking of just using my 550d(with magic lantern). Then just use the audio from the video. Or would it be better to use my laptop to record?

Is the 50mm 1.4 worth it over the 1.8? I don't care about build quality I only care about the quality of the images and to a lesser extent the auto focus speed. Is it worth the upgrade or would I be better off just getting a different lens altogether to add to my arsenal? My equipment is as...

I've already got a Rode Videomic, would it be worth it buying a Blue Snowball Ice Mic to record voice overs? Is the Snowball mic any better than the Videomic when it comes to voice overs? Enoug to warrant a buy?

Apart from those garbage adapter fish eye lenses, is the Samyang 8mm the cheapest fisheye lens around for Canon dslrs? Are there any other cheap ones?

Sorry for the late reply, I have a canon 550d. Yeah I'm thinking of just getting the 55 - 250 second hand on ebay.

I'm looking to buy my first telephoto/zoom lens. At the moment I have the 50mm 1.8, 28mm 2.8 and kit lens. I'm looking at these lenses as they are in my price range SIGMA AF 70 - 300mm...

That's actually really good advice, can't believe I didn't think of that :P thanks

Obviously I've looked at the big places like that. I've got a few decent stuff. But I'd like to see some smaller stories if possible...interesting stuff from around the world... The media only ever seems to report negative things so it's hard to find happy, romantic or inspiring stories. If...

Hi there. I need to get a hold of some interesting news articles/stories(non fiction) that would make a good short film for Uni. I'm open to all kinds of stories. Absolutely anything is welcome. Just nothing too big that would be impossible to cover in a short film like something about the...

Could you give me some advice on the "if your audio settings on camera is set properly" part? I'm relatively new to using a boom mic on this camera as well as magic lantern. I've spent a lot of time playing around with it but just incase there's anything I don't know.
