when you say 'true HD', what do you mean?

Andrew, what was the lens you had on your NEX7?

[quote author=Sara link=topic=350.msg2155#msg2155 date=1330738850] While I agree with you that nearly every 5DMK2 movie I have seen are not to our liking - Andrew was implying that they are more than enough of a "tool" to get a decent movie made.  All up to the artist behind the lens...  ...Also almost all the movies you mentioned use the 5DMK2 for SMALL portions of the movie - not the entire production. [/quote] I agree on the point about the artist behind the lens. Realisticly every filmmaker should be aware of that. My point in the end was that a film shouldn't feature the camera/s that were used in its production as marketing material, no matter what percentage of it is seen in the final cut.

Great article, however when you mention that DSLR are Oscar acceptable; I believe Cinema and Broadcast acceptable would have been a more reasonable point as the Oscar (or any other major awards) have a large degree of being incredibly biased.  Thou the only issue to me saying that DSLRs are cinema/broadcast acceptable is that; majority of movies which publicly declared it was shot on SLR have been terrible as reviews alone would state. I.e see Red Tails, Act of Valour, Newlyweds. However those which never publicly mentioned SLRs were used are generally good to great. see Black Swan, 127 hours, Drive, I don't want to talk about Kevin etc

@ed... Was your 5N connected to your Mac when you log and transferred your footage onto FCP7?

I have a simular issue getting footage from my 5N to work in final cut pro 7

[quote author=sandro link=topic=309.msg1944#msg1944 date=1329953498] It's time! Will Canon be unique and give a gh2-like video or follow Sony and Nikon with crappy video? [/quote] Video from the NEX 5n is far from crap. In fair honesty, the footage from that camera surpasses footage from Canon SLRs

I wonder if the GF3 would ever get hacked. Thou I'd like to see MagicLantern (or someone else) try and hack the NEX 5N

I rather see more lens made available, thou having said that, I only use Nikon and m42 lens on my 5n due to the amazing focus peaking mode. On a different note, I am planning to shoot my first feature film on my 5n at around April

You mentioned that slr footage could not be pushed in post like the RED can. Is it possible for you to do a video/article showing the very limits the native footage from the 5n/gh2/7d etc. could be pushed to in post.

I'm properly wrong here but here is my guess 1 Sony HX9 2 GH2 3 5DmII 4 Nikon J1 5 Sony A65 Off topic, what is your opinion on M42 lens
