Thanks! I've posted in the BMD forums and see if I get lucky!

HurtinMinorKey got a reaction from Dave Maze in 1.74x - A Crop Odyssey - Canon 5D Mark IV officially announced
Checked back into EOSHD for the first time in a while to see if Andrew would flame Canon for the 5D mk IV. Was not disappointed.
Cheers!

HurtinMinorKey got a reaction from MrTony in Tempted? Should you get a $6499 Canon C300 or wait until after NAB?
It's resolution may not be on par with the GH4, but the image seems much nicer. But the the $6500 doesn't really seem like a bargain as much as it just seems like closer to a sensible price.

HurtinMinorKey got a reaction from Goose in Canon 5DS takes a backwards step for video - severe rolling shutter, moire and lack of uncompressed HDMI
No improvement in DR after 7 years in unforgivable...for a stills camera.

I'm surprised they made no improvement to the DR (for stills or video). That's 7 years of no DR improvements in this line. Pretty disappointing. Are people really going to pay that much more just for more MPs?

HurtinMinorKey got a reaction from Julian in Last chance to order your early 4K raw AXIOM Beta - a Linux based open source camera
How so?
1.) The retail price on these things is well above what BM is charging for their current cameras.
2.) Then there is that whole development process thing. I'd be surprised if we see a retail unit on the market in 2015.
3.) For the Super 35, DR is listed as 10 (15 in HDR mode, which i assume means a loss of resolution). Let's see how that works in practice.
Don't get me wrong. I hope the Axiom is awesome. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

HurtinMinorKey got a reaction from JazzBox in "Cinematic": your point of view on this word
I've gone back and forth about this over the years. But i really think the most important things are aspect ratio and lighting. I used to think DOF, but not so much anymore.

HurtinMinorKey reacted to Gregormannschaft in Short horror film shot entirely by ONE GUY getting lots of praised.
Haha, for someone uncomfortable socialising with other people you sure do a great job of marketing your stuff.
Anyway, that aside, commendable stuff! It's a hell of a lot of work doing this kind of stuff alone so well done. How long did the whole process take you?

HurtinMinorKey reacted to Bruno in Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera for $495
The cameras they're selling for $495 are the same ones the stores were selling for $995 last week, they didn't ship new cameras specifically for this deal, so that doesn't make much sense.
It's likely they won't restock before the sale ends though, which will make the promotion limited to while stocks last, as they stated.
No idea if the price will ever go up, but at this price it's worth getting and keeping!

HurtinMinorKey reacted to Wulf in Why crop sensors are better than full frame
Reasonable arguments.
In practice, however, there is a simple reason why I would like to stay fullframe for ever - I'm socialized with 24x36 since decades and as a wideangle prime lover, a 20 mm is not only a focal length nor an angle of view, but a special look of exactly that old glas. Allthough I like to keep my gear simple and small, I regulary found use for three totally different 20 mm lenses, for example a modern rectalinear zoom for straight lines (architecture, some landscapes), an old prime with a lot of moustache distorsion that IS GREAT for shooting people and sometimes a 16 mm fish with an 1.4 extender and an extension ring for some special closeups...
Of course the same could achieved with a speedbooster and Super35 might be the future as bigger sensors are disproportionally expensive. But 4/3 is obviously a nogo.
Regarding shallow DOF, I would agree on using it sparingly - more like an effect. It could be a great tool for portraits in special moments; IIRC both in 'Private Ryan' and in 'Gladiator' for example the DOP chooses to isolate the protagonist for a single short shot in the opening sequence(s). But all this shots are mostly done by at least f=4 and by having a greater distance to the now blurry background, so in short it's for me mostly a question of composition - remove all non-essential stuff out of the frame with an ultra shallow DOF as last resort... :-)

HurtinMinorKey reacted to Andrew Reid in New OK Go music video shot on Panasonic GH4
There is some dodgy stabilisation going on (presumably all part of the charm) but it isn't rolling shutter you're seeing.
Creatively I think the video succeeds. Give the pixel peeping a rest on this one guys.

HurtinMinorKey got a reaction from Shane Essary in Kendy Ty has a new camera!
Better camera i guess, but it doesn't look as good to me.
