Hey everyone. So today I bought the T3i! And 75-300 mm lens! Im excited! Just one thing though. How do I get the best picture out of this camera? What should the shutter speed be for 24 fps and 30 fps? What about Magic Lantern? Thanks
Sorry I meant should I get Magic Lantern?

This was the most helpful tutorial to me.
His voice is annoying lol
Personally I like the look of 24p at 1/100 shutter speed
What NLE are you using, and where are the soon-to-come videos going to be seen?
If on youtube know that computers display at 29.97FPS, so... you might as well start shooting at the closest approximation = 30FPS, and adjust your shutter speed accordingly: 2X FPS = 1/60.

Furthermore, your NLE will probably limit a project's output, which again will be constrained by its final output source, most often being a computer or digital equivalent.
You may shoot in 24FPS + 1/50 shutter speed and edit @ 24FPS in the NLE, but odds are most people are going to see whatever it is on a computer which will delay frames to that 29.97 NTSC standard, thus, once again - shoot and edit @ 30FPS + 1/60SS (unless, of course, you're going to do some slo-mo, in which case you'll shoot @ 60FPS + 1/125SS.
Love it.... I have Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12.0. But I have only used it once and I didn't like it. (editing is hard)
75-300mm lens is not very ideal for movie purposes, I could not manage using that kind of lens.
I have 17-70mm lens myself and most of the time I do not use 70mm at all, but of course this depends of your style.
DSLR cameras are great and they are not so hard to learn after all so good luck
Magic Lantern is great. It's only as complicated as you want to make it. The simple operations are easy to find and figure out.
As for shooting flat - install the Technicolor Cinestyle profile.... It works like a charm!
