Have you ever shot with the 514XLS? Wondered how it compared to the 814 & 1014, aside from obviously being a notch below them.

Awesome, thanks for the confirmation!

Hey all - is it safe to assume that you need to shoot with these same settings with 50D stock? I believe that is a daylight-balanced film as well. Thanks!

Thanks David- definitely seeing what you mean about choosing a scanning house that suits your personal look/taste for how you want the end result to look. Which places have you used perosnally or have you had any issues with any of them? Only reason I ask is that I've seen various comments around the board swearing off using certain places due to prices/quality/etc and wondered if those were the result of just bad experiences or if some places really just don't produce a good scan. Also- do most places scan to HD now by default or is that an upcharge? Can you scan to SD and then scale up in post and still end up with a good image? Thanks again for all your help and info, it's really been valuable!

Gotcha- thanks again for all your help and information David- I look forward with sharing some footage down the road!

Wow Dave, thank you for all the info- really appreciate such a thorough breakdown of those stocks. The examples you posted are really nice and it looks like the 50D should be where I start off at and get a handle for the camera. Am I correct that the process is that you first get the film developed/processed and then transferred to digital? That's what I've read and what makes sense, but never hurts to ask! Thanks again for all the info, it's super helpful.

Awesome, I really appreciate the info! Definitely makes sense. I plan to shoot outdoors mostly, so would you avoid shooting Tri-X in natural daylight altogether or just overly sunny days? And I assume 50D would be optimal for shooting outside (given enough light) over 200T/500T? Are these even good film stocks? Again, sorry for all the questions and thanks so much for your responses!

I've read the board for awhile now, not usually having any reason to post, but recently picked up a Canon 514 XL-S and had a few questions so I thought I'd get some info. I'm familiar with shooting video digitally and I shoot 35mm stills, but was curious about ASA and color balance with Super 8. Are the numbers (50, 200, 500) similar to ISO? I thought I had read somewhere that with newer films you should shoot w your camera set to daylight as well. I was considering getting some Tri-X and the appropriate Vision for some initial shooting. Just curious about that whole aspect. Laslty, does anyone know about this camera, performance-wise? I did some research and it seemed to get favorable feedback but was curious if anyone had any experience or knew how the glass was. I appreciate any info/respones/feedback anyone can provide and apologize if this topic and these questions have been asked frequently already. I look forward to getting into S8 and this board is a great resource!
