    Digital Bolex - 2K Raw at $2500

    =] Give it two weeks or so and you'll see. Edit: Also, when I started thinking about it... I'm not gaga for raw or 2K. RAW I work with already, so no big deal. 2K isn't that much more than 1080 anyway, so no big deal either. And the sensor size leaves something to be desired. I like shooting...

    Digital Bolex - 2K Raw at $2500

    Number 36 I think. Or at least I'm pretty sure I'm number 36. But probably gonna cancel my pledge, though.

    I'd be willing to wager a decent amount of money that it's above 80 percent, if you're talking professional. Confusing professional with consumer is a common mistake, though. And even then, filmmakers are a measly meager fraction of the number of average non-cinema-centric consumers that...

    Your posts never cease to amaze me, and confound me at the same time. 50 percent drop? I guess you were going for dramatic effect... ...sigh..

    Question for those who know cameras.

    Most of that information is clobbered in the compression process. It's pretty obvious when you own both and use both that the only advantage the 5D has is a larger sensor (real estate), which is great for tight rooms and spaces. The 7D outperforms 5D by a hair in every other area of usable...

    Question for those who know cameras.

    I sold my 5D with 3 16gb cards, 2 batteries, a kit lens and an extra 80-200/4 for like 2700 Body only right now, especially with an impending MKIII announcement on Friday, is probably 1500 or so. Sell fast.

    Question for those who know cameras.

    It's a good idea, if you can get a good price for your 5D and find a used 7D at a good (low) price. The most you'll notice is the difference in DOF at any given focal length, and how wide you deal with it.

    GH2 & an Economical Wide lens?

    Haha. Actually it sounds like much more of a headache than it is. There are only two points where I need the exposure adjustment, it's either wide open or down to 2.8~4 split The rest of the exposure's done with NDs. So, basically, I adjust the lens once in broad daylight (2.8~4) then us the...

    GH2 & an Economical Wide lens?

    Agreed on this. It probably wouldn't be my main choice for stills, but video? Consider the high frequency moire aliasing produced by video from DSLRS, and how CA (chromatic abberation) and diffraction reduces the appearance of it. Wide open, it actually should be decent for DSLR video, and a...

    GH2 & an Economical Wide lens?

    GH2 hackz , C300, and Epic with EF mount. Future cameras hopefully, like I said if MKIII is sick I'll get one. 20/1.8 covers Full Frame.

    GH2 & an Economical Wide lens?

    After all that yappin' about wides, I decided to order the Sigma 20/1.8 in EF (Canon) mount. It'll be here thursday, gonna shoot part of this broadcast spot on it over the weekend for sure. Thoughts and info soon. We got rid of our 5D luckily. Maybe if the MKIII can actually match GH2 then...

    GH2 & an Economical Wide lens?

    It was measured forever ago. Canons shoot around 540 lines of actual resolution. At best, they're 720P cameras. =[ Canon DSLR footage's usable DR is around 8 stops because of the noise floor and low resolution. GH2's usable DR is about 7.5. What difference? lol Don't mistake the valid...

    xD I'll tell ya what name recognition gets you with Canons in my hood "Please god no". Name recognition is for craigslist DPs. That's what they all say. lol Literally So, yeah, every camera in general has its own set of quirks. We had to sit and figure out Epic as well, no big deal. At the...

    Box office has no bearing on how good a movie is or is not.

    GH2 & an Economical Wide lens?

    Not in video modes. 28mm on 5D in video, to match that you need a 17~19mm. Still, the characteristics are different. This is exactly why I do like Full Frame, because my widest is going to be a 28 and it's gonna look damned good.

    GH2 & an Economical Wide lens?

    As a fanboy of great images (doesn't matter which camera they come from) I agree. If it's my hacked it's not worth it. It's only as good as canons without the hack, and surpasses everything sub Fs100 with the hack. About 14mm - that lens distorts too much for my tastes. Even the tokin- 11-16's...

    GH2 & an Economical Wide lens?

    That'n. Gotta either get Nikon or Canon version then an adapter for it. 20/1.7 is cheaper for sure, especially not having to deal with an adapter. And you should DEFINITELY patch your GH2. I wouldn't use this camera if it wasn't patched. xD

    GH2 & an Economical Wide lens?

    I think the Lumix 20mm will be sharper wide open, but I also dunno how it'll play with the crazy hacks. I've gotten record errors with panasonic lenses. Currently, my personal debate is whether or not to buy the 20/1.8 sigma, that would be the last lens I own for this camera. And, it'll port...
