Does Jag35 adapters provide a full manual control?

I have a close friend who owns Canon 500D. I shall play with it for a day or two to make sure I have no regrets in future :) Thanks for keeping me "opened eye" :)

I see cineform is A MUST these days. So I am glad HFS100 has 24p. Can you tell if this 24p really looks "filmy"? What about 35mm Lens Adapter? Is it better to get a video cam and DOF adapter or get a DSLR camera?

Then with MK-012 i will NOT have that "roomy" because it is NOT a shotgun mic. I mean it will NOT be as hard during recording indoors as with NTG, right?

Ok, I need to make a decision in two or three days as my budget is ready. I need to purchase these tools otherwise money WILL flow somewhere else :) PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE help me choosing a camcorder. 1) I like the manual focus ring of Pana TM700, but I dislike colors 2) I like Native 24P...

"roomy" sound even with a SHOTGUN mic? What if I keep good direction and a distance close to a speaking person? On the other hand I can ask talent to overdub himself during post production.

Is there any other camera within Canon HF S 21 price range that also can shoot 1080 Native 24p?

Yeah, the info-ocean is getting deeper... At least I have made my mind on what camera I what: 1) Fits my budget $1000-$1500 2) Has as many MANUAL controls as possible. (Traditional focus ring is a great thing to have) 3) Has a Native HD 1080 24p

I won't. I am happy with the sound equipment you recommended. The only late buy will be MK-012. Do you think NTG can do me good for indoors for a while?

That makes sense. That makes a perfect sense! However, HFS100 does not have a Native 24p Then the list adapted for me would be: Camera stuff: Canon HFS100 with accessories (longer life battery, SD cards, battery charger, etc) - ~$900 ??? Do It For Me steadycam - ~$40 Jag35Pro 35mm adapter with...

I'm happy with the tripod I have, but will also check the one you recommend. I want a camera that 1) Fits my budget $1000-$1500 2) Has as many MANUAL controls as possible. (Traditional focus ring is a great thing to have) 3) Has a Native HD 1080 24p

I liked the video, although I wasn't watching it in HD. I downloaded 1280x720 size. The beginning played back very smooth, but then there were visible jitters. Maybe it is my Core i5 that cannot coupe up with the file. I also mentioned "uncontrolled" focus shifts. Looks like camera's auto focus...

I'm probably stereotyping, but this is still a PHOTO camera and VIDEO is just a FEATURE. I am going to research 550D. Thanks for a fresh look anyway.

Full manual control DURING the video capture?

I'm lost again, people. So, it is NOT Canon for sure. I struggle between Panasonic HDC-TM700 and Panasonic AG-HMC40. I know these are non-comparable cameras and the question here is how fast will I change TM700 and for how long will HMC40 last technology wise. I just don't want to get back to...

Thanks for letting me know. I will purchase one from here: http://www.oktava-mics.net/shop/p-1/oktava_mk-012.html. Cheaper than on ebay :) I read the below quote from another forum where they compared Canon HF S21 and Panasonic TM700: I really like the traditional focus ring in Panasonic, but...

Which one would you recommend for Canon HF S21? What about filters? Another think that I need to know is the editing. Is the codec Canon HF S21 uses editing-friendly? I have just found Panasonic HDC-TM700 High Definition PAL Camcorder and starting to compare it with Canon.

What add-on lens would you recommend assuming that I am after that "film-look" frames.

No snobbishness, no turning up my nose... The case is that I'm not very handy. It won't be DIY, but Do It For Me and it will cost me. I have ordered a hand-made track dolly and found out that I could have spent LESS money getting one on ebay. I got this. So, here we go (from ebay): CAMERA...

I'll stick with Canon HF S21.
