    What is your favorite film camera to use?

    Hey guys. I'm new to this forum and just thought I'd ask what your preference is for shooting video? For me I'm a big fan of the Canon 5D Mark III and cameras made by Blackmagic Designs. But then theres the RED cameras and it's hard to have anything that compares to it in my opinion.
