  1. http://suggestionofmotion.com/about/ Definitely an A for effort though
  2. Nice to know about the 0-255 issue. Switched to 16-235 in-camera and the problem has gone. Makes grading that bit more straight forward. Loving EditReady. It's a beast.
  3. ​Get the 1D C instead. I love it and can't even think of a way to improve the image it gives, aside from in the future global shutter. Practical side, yeah smaller file sizes and tilting screen with peaking would have been nice as would an EVF but it's lovely to use as a stills camera and easy to rig for video while keeping the weight down, still much smaller and lighter than an FS7 or C300!
  4.   Magic Lantern just turned your 5D Mark III into a desktop computer. The cameras (running ARM processor and up to 512MB of RAM) are seen in this video booting into the Linux kernel, version 3.19. The development paves the way for third party apps to run on the camera and to control all functions of the device.

  5. Canon C300 EF now $6499 at B&H Canon C100 (Mark I) now $2999Many people aren’t ready for 4K yet. These people just got the bargain of the century with a massive Canon price reduction on the old Canon C300. Read the full article
  6. ​Detail comparison would be a non contest, 1080p vs 4K. But internal 1080p (if you don't want to shoot 4K) is better on the D750. It's almost at the A7S level, but the codec is easier to grade from the Flat picture setting. You are not an idiot for considering the D750 but make sure you have some nice Nikon lenses. 24-70mm F2.8 AF-D is a bargain.
  7. It's better than the GH2 in low light. The lens is very fast at the wide end and the sensor is newer. ISO 1600 perfectly usable.
  8. Take it by rec.709 you are using a standard Canon profile like Portrait or something on your 60D. Well S-LOG is LOG so a different league. It flattens the full dynamic range of the sensor and packs it into the codec. It grades WAY better than the 60D or indeed any of the Canon or Sony rec.709 profiles because simply put, there's more to work with in the image. Nothing is burnt or crushed or baked into the image.
  9. A short summary yeah, no footage. It's a big "no" from me for this camera, just get the NX1 instead.
  10. ​No ProRes codecs installed? Do you have Final Cut Pro X?
  11. Popular pro transcoding software EditReady now supports the Samsung NX1. This is my favourite transcoding solution, so great to see H.265 support. Read the full article
  12. The only bad thing about the A7S's colour is people's limited grading skills
  13. Would have to be a 2nd line rather than a replacement. Too soon to replace it. Low megapixel / high sensitivity version would be lovely! Can't see this being true though.
  14. Canon have revealed a little of their broad future objectives in the company's latest annual report. Read the full article
  15. Yes it is a bad decision. My NX500 went back to the shop because of that 4K crop. It's horrible.
  16. Be careful guys. Looks like the firmware has an error, where they forgot the lock. The reason it isn't meant to work with the GH4 is because it can get physically stuck on the mount as happened with mine. The images are lovely, I shot this with the BMCC speed booster glass in the EF adapter... But there's another problem... often the focus is slanted so one half of your frame could be blurry, so bear that in mind at wide angle shooting a large flat subject frame-to-frame or landscape at infinity especially at wide angle like with the Tokina 11-16mm F2.8... that lens is a good way to test for the issue. If the adapter gets stuck on your GH4 mount you're looking at breaking the GH4 just to remove the adapter and it can damage the pins for AF. But if you're a brave one, enjoy!
  17. Nice film. Kodak special sauce I am sure will turn up again in something They made a mistake to offload the sensor division though.
  18. Some may wonder why I locked the FM and Rectilux threads set up by Cosimo and John. Cosimo is publicising a product and John is publicising his solution. From now on I want to hear from the users only. If you are an FM owner or a Rectilux owner feel free to post your own threads. I am not going to allow Anamorphic Shop themselves or John to set up their own threads as EOSHD is not an advertising platform and I cannot vouch for the quality of either solution. In fact I have heavy doubts about both of them. The Rectilux is unproven. The FM, I tried and didn't like the image. I also feel these two threads divert a lot of attention away from actual anamorphic lenses and better solutions. These threads were being bumped by the people behind the products on a weekly, sometimes even daily basis. Furthermore some of the behaviour of the people behind these products has been very sour for the atmosphere of the forum and in personal emails to me, which is unacceptable. Just to be clear, the subject isn't taboo and I certainly don't want to censor actual users. Just the salesmen. John and Cosimo, I wish you all the best for the future with your solutions. Now it's over to the users.
  19. Yes Henry he obviously believes that whilst drunk, hungry and mad. But what is he like 99.999% of the rest of the time at work? He's put in countless years at the BBC without any of these kinds of moments of madness.
  20. ​Clarkson island looks hellish I generally agree with your post. It's spot on really. And yes Clarkson is to blame for being sacked. I am sure there was a better solution though which they couldn't take for political reasons. Lengthy suspension and a fine possibly.
  21. Cosimo - no trolling of this thread. John - no blatant advertising and hype. This is the final warning for the pair of you. It's dragging the atmosphere on the forum into the gutter. If you carry on, either of you, then I will just wash my hands of you both in the control panel and delete everything.
  22. SleepyWill is spot on. Clarkson has been in a fragile state for some time. Last year his mother had just died, his marriage had broken down, he had various health issues and was smoking & drinking too much. Add to that the pressure of keeping up such a high level of TV for over a decade almost non-stop and the tabloid pressure and the vicious public shaming match in the press that follows many of his jokes.... and you have a very fragile mental state.
