  1. Why is it so? Could you tell me, has there been any serious work shot on DSLRs? By serious work I mean movies that's been released commercially.
  2. Yes, Mr. Jensen, but I said from a filmmaker's perspective. I don't intend to go on a photo safari when I'm shooting a story.
  3. Hello, Some time ago all I could read was how important a development DSLRs were, how great an image you could get with them, etc. So naturally I got interested and have been considering buying a GH2 which I can't seem to find anywhere. But now I'm hearing quite a lot of people say, well in fact they're unusable for video, they're not full-HD, their sharpness is only apparent but not real as it's caused by aliasing, image control is poor, and so on. So my question is, what can you actually do with them? From a movie maker's perspective, that is. I've read an article where someone compared the 7D to Panasonic's HMC40 stating that the latter by far outperforms the Canon, so I wonder why isn't everyone using that HMC40. What's the truth regarding DSLRs? Can you use them for a feature film or can you not? And more importantly, is there a future in DSLRs? Are they going to get better and better or should the idea be dropped altogether?
  4. I would love that Arriflex but I don't have the means. Intelligent, in my case, means getting the best quality for as little money as possible. So I guess it's going to be a 60D or an AF100... We'll see. Thanks for your help anyway
  5. Thanks, Andrew. I guess it is, especially in my case as I like low angle shots. I found out about other cameras, namely Sony's FS100 and another model of theirs, the NEX VG10. There really is too much, and you get the impression the manufactors carefully study what drawbacks they could implement in their otherwise quasi perfect new cameras. What's the EX3 worth next to an FS100 or a Scarlet?
  6. Hello Steve, and thank you for your reply. I don't know what can be said from a Youtube video but the quality of the trailer does look very good. So in the end it comes down to a DSLR or Sony's EX3 or F3. What do you think of the Panasonic AF100 as compared to the Sony models? The F3 looks wonderful but for that kind of price, wouldn't RED be a more intelligent choice? Anyway I think I'll wait some more for that kind of hardware and buy a cheap DSLR instead. Here are a couple more questions: -Is a 7D superior in any way to a 60D? -Are there any predictions how the market is going to evolve? Should I wait and buy an EX3 or F3 in a couple years? Would they be cheaper then? -Are these cameras we're talking about going to hold up? I mean will a 7D be outdated in the next few years? Will an EX3?
  7. Hello, First of all, let me apologize for asking a question I know to be tiresome as everyone asks it, but there's so many models on the market and so much technical aspects I don't have a clue about that I have to turn to you. I'm looking for a good and (of course!) relatively cheap video camera. I've been reading about several models: -Sony's EX1 and EX3 -Panasonic's AF100 and, among the DSLR ones: -Canon's 7D, 550D and 60D From what I read, DSLRs seem to be a great thing. What I'm thinking of is a rather small and versatile camera to shoot good quality, however modest, feature films. But I worry about the rolling shutter and more importantly the overheating issues. Also, I don't care all that much for shallow DOF (and in case I bought a DSLR, I'd be looking for a way to deepen it). So what are the advantages that the Sony EX's and the AF100 would have over the cheaper DSLR cameras? Between the three DSLRs I mentioned, which one would be better and why (how do they compare)? What image control (white balance, zebra etc.) do you have on DSLRs? Thank you, David
