Again depends on the filmmaker and their intentions. It's a valid form of filmmaking in my book and if we went by what your post implies Rudolf we wouldn't have masterpieces like this... Koyaanisqatsi (trailer): http://youtu.be/PirH8PADDgQ

“Maestro 4K” cinema camera powered by Nvidia with H.265 codec
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
They *HAVE* been making the processing, pipeline, encoding, CFA you idiot!! Can anyone in the class room of dummies put their hand up and tell me what AJA do aside from cameras!? Clue, it's the same type of thing as Blackmagic before they ended up in the camera business!! -
As long as it's from a respectful distance with respectful intentions there's nothing moral about it, no issues. The French are pretty relaxed about this kind of thing and in a city like Paris they are used to tourists with small cameras. Berlin where I shoot couldn't be any more different, it's hell. Full of self righteous idiots who think they have the right to privacy in the streets like it is their fucking bedroom. I have had countless nasty incidents and harsh stares from people who weren't even in the shot! It's like trying to capture atmosphere in a lion cage. I enjoyed the good old days of EOSHD taking my camera around Taipei as in Asia they are perfectly friendly towards you.

It's a well known fact This is the sensor - http://www.cmosis.com/products/standard_products/cmv12000 Now... in the words of Charlie Brooker - go away. -
What I meant was that innovation was dying. It's clear they're bringing nothing interesting that's innovative or eye catching enough for a reader poll on the largest stills photographic sites on the entire internet.

All legacy 3+ year old products. I'm talking about new sales.

What features?

Jimmy you have 94 posts worth of self expression to your record on this site, and I have 5 years of experience and thousands of blog posts. So if you're going to criticise me for lacking research, at least do so from a position of strength, otherwise you just look like another Canon fan boy. Very few Canon users I know are satisfied with how little they have brought to the plate in DSLR video or for stills in the last 2 years.

Sony FS7 Review – Shooting 150fps in the dead of night
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
My job is my filmmaking and EOSHD. Much as I want improved products, I don't see my role as unpaid consultant to a major manufacturer. I could compromise my editorial pretty badly here in an effort to nurture that relationship. What for? I might get the occasional chance at a workshop (Samsung have already asked), but I'd rather be out shooting so would turn it down any way. There's very little in it for me. I just don't see myself in that role. They are welcome to continue reading EOSHD for my feedback though! I deeply respect and like most of the people working at these companies to put such amazing cameras out there for us. If there's a fault with the product it isn't personal, but it has to be pointed out for what it is. Not a single FS7 user has praised the menus yet. -
Sony FS7 Review – Shooting 150fps in the dead of night
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Here for the first time on EOSHD we have seen the potential of a top management consultant for Apple! You should be paid millions! You're a genius! So you suggest to any future Steve Jobs that by being more vague and sweetening feedback to employees, you will get better decisions out of them and a better conceived product? You are living in cloud cuckoo land. The point is, if you have such flawed menus, management needs to be tough enough to prevent it going into the final camera. It's not hard to read the blog post especially the bit about giving vague feedback like it's some kind of popularity contest with the manufacturers. It actually harms the product. If something is shitty you have to call a spade a spade. In engineering, if there is a design problem you don't sweet talk it until it goes away or make the designer feel good about his terrible mistake. All this watered down vague feedback is essentially to lubricate people like Johnnie Behiri's path into Sony's inner sanctum. They don't give a shit about honest feedback or improving the product. -

7D Mark II?

Actually the Arri Mini will lose the C300 quite a few customers on Alexa shoots where it was standing in as a smaller b-cam. The FS7 will erode the C300's lead on the rental market as well, because it adapts to PL lenses out of the box with a simple adapter AND to EF with another simple adapter. It's more flexible. The FS7's 10bit and high frame rates are also a factor, as is dynamic range. It is incredible in that respect, I am seeing at least 13-14 stops in S-LOG 3. There's a good chance none of the rumours will come true and the C300 Mark II ends up being a 1080p cam, if so it's toast. Total toast. Burnt toast at that. Hate to be pessimistic but they may reserve internal 4K and the new codec for the C500 successor instead and charge same as the Alexa Mini! The C300 Mark II might just get a better EVF and screen along with 60p, a precedence Canon have already set with the C100 Mk II. Soon we will find out.

SLR Magic Anamorphic 2x on the Panasonic GH4 (4:3) http://www.eoshd.com/2015/02/slr-magic-2x-anamorphic-anamorphot-on-the-panasonic-gh4-43/

Due to feedback from filmmakers in favour of smaller cameras Arri has introduced the Mini – but the timing is very interesting. We are just over 1 month away from NAB in early April. The Alexa Mini is still a prototype and it isn’t due to ship until May. Clearly in the long term development process of this camera Arri aimed for NAB 2015 – so why rush out an announcement and a rough looking prototype at BVE in February? This is the clearest signal yet that new Cinema EOS cameras are coming at NAB and Arri wanted to avoid having their announcement drowned out by a glut of other cameras. So let’s look ahead just 1 month and predict what the C300 Mark II will look like…And whether a new 4K DSLR is coming from Canon too. Read the full article

Sorry to hear you just wasted your money! Send it back and wait for the NX500. The earlier NX models were total trash for video... abject trash. GH2 is MILES better!

There is one coming. that's all I can say!!!!

Yes. It's quite interesting vs the NX1 given yet another price gulf. Shootout is shot but not yet edited.
