So I always buy those padded or bubble wrapped DVD mailers. At Staples they're now over $10 for a sixpack. Why do I need padding if I'm sending a DVD in soft plastic case? Plain paper envelopes are way cheaper. What was I thinking all this time?

Funny that people rent GH2's. Is it worth it? A clever buyer can get a new body for under 500 bucks if they sell off the big kit lens. It's almost like renting a lens cap! Just buy the damn thing and when you're done with it, give it to the dog for a chew toy! And here in Cali, we're refer to...

That's the knock on the 14-140. It's dog-a$s slow. It's a great lens for outdoor sports or nature I guess. But I don't own it and can't see paying coin like that for such a slow lens. About Canon 50mm and controls. I use Canon FD glass, the old stuff, the aperture is mechanical and obviously...

I like it. It's funny.

I've a similar version of this assessment from a lot people. Dunno why is tanking so.

It looks really promising, and the D4 too. But there just isn't enough info out there yet. A few early reports have been dismissive, but I think they're premature, and a lot of people want to see how it handles HDMI out.

I've burned a lot of Taiyo and they've never let me down. The glossy surface ones are better if you plan to print on it.

Wheat, where you'll notice the hack most obviously is the 1) the motion signature 2) noise doesn't go away but everyone says once annoying noise become more like film grain 3) color grading headroom. Not sure why everyone has reservation about the crop factor, it's barely distinguishable from...

The main reason more films are shot on Canons is that they got there first. GH2 is a relative newbie and even after the camera was released, they were nearly impossible to get for months and months. Black marketers were selling them on ebay for 3x retail. It's only in the last 6 months or so...

For slomo 60p at 720 res is what most use. You'd think there'd be something on the menu that says 60fps at 720p wouldn't you? Well you'd be wrong. You need the secret decoder ring to figure it out. GH2 has the world's worst manual and menus.

What's the argument in favor of Hgf10? GH2 is the best video camera under 5 grand. You shop around you can get one for less than $500.

Nice shots.

The fact that the founder of Invisible Children was running through the streets of San Diego high as a kite, half naked and jerking off proves one thing for certain: The guy is definitely a filmmaker.

And look how much the people of Uganda love Invisible Children... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU_1jnrj5VI&feature=player_embedded The final few seconds of the vid is epic.

Yes, it's the most prestigious SP writing comp around. 1/4 finalists do get some attention, the odds are tough however. 6,000 scripts (approx) every year. But stay positive, a lot of the scripts suck. If you don't make the cut, don't fret, I know people with multiple rejections that got agents...

After watching the Scarlet Saga and the A-Camera marathon, I'd be reluctant to sign on to this. I sure hope they pull it off though. I'm rootin' for 'em tho.

Supercool. Wonder if it's wind-up...

NOt really true. The softening is incidental. lots of tests done on it. Results of mosaic on available for anyone interested. The moire and aliasing is really ugly without the mosaic filter. The ML does cause some risk, but it seem to be nominal and adds a lot of power to the 5d.

The 7d's DOF isn't as shallow as the 5d, but still, the 7d will give you more than enough shallow focus. The 5d's advantages are that it goes a lot wider, a little cleaner, a little more light sensitve, and the two biggies IMO are: 1) Magic Lantern Hacks 2) Mosaic anti aliasing filter which...

What improvements are there over the MK2? For video mode.
