apparantly the tamron VC lens is a lot worse than the non-VC version (which is actually also cheaper!)

this photography review website doesn't seem to think much of the canon, and gives a better score to the tamron- i dont know what to think! http://***URL removed***/products/tamron/lenses/tamron_17-50_2p8_di-ii

[indent]ok so i'm going to buy either the 600d or 5d mark ii.[/indent] [indent]if i buy the 600d/t3i- i need to decide between[/indent] [indent] Tamron SP AF 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical [IF] Lens (£300) or Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM (£650!!) I also want to buy the Sigma 30mm F/1.4 EX DC HSM. Is it stupid buying lenses for apc-s sensors? [/indent] [indent]should i just invest in full frame? if so...what's the best all round lens to get for the 5D Mark II??[/indent]

Ok- yes its only going to be a very basic green screen shoot- presenter links with a teleprompter device and a basic static background. Medium shot of presenter in studio. Has anyone ever connected a telepromptet device to their dslr for a shoot? Last question- im trying to decide on t3i or t4i. Obviously i can get magic lantern on t3i and not t4i- is this enough reason to go for t3i...

can anyone explain the issue in the t3i/600d of only being able to record clips upto 12 minutes...? is this a big problem? does the 650d/t4i resolve this issue?

do you what a good canon lens would be for doing green screen? im thinking about just getting a t3i

this guy claims GH2 is a nightmare to key, apparantly the 7D is very good... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Unb7aUOH4UM

[quote name='cameraboy' timestamp='1346346150' post='16988'] new Apocalypse Now 444 patch looks great.... [/quote] sorry can you explain what this means, im a bit of a novice...

was it easier/harder to key the green with 550d footage or 5dmk ii or was it the same for both? im guessing 5d was easier?

Im looking for something more around the 1000 dollars mark

would a 5d mark ii be the best dslr then, or would a 600d/t3i do a similarly good job on green screen? i want a camera i can use on shoots and for green screen- and id love to get a dslr!

to be honest, i still really like your t2i footage more than the gh2. out of interest, what lens did you use on the t2i?

I thought people use DSLRs for green screen shoots all the time??

I do a lot of green screen presenter links for work and usually use a Sony EX1/3 however i want to get a DSLR and hopefully start using that! can anyone recommend the best DSLR for green screen work Thanks!

do you mind sending me a link to some of your GH2 work? thanks for your help by the way!

I have a few questions- do i need to buy an adaptor for a canon 650d in order to use other manual 35mm lens? can anyone recommend one? When is the GH3 out? is it worth me waiting for that? and is this gh2 hack similar to magic lantern on the 600d? the GH2 is considerably more expensive than the 600d so im still not sure what to go with. Also- i know what you mean by the canon look is different to the GH2 look- but i actually quite like the almost softer look of the canon cameras- i think the panasonic looks too crisp and a bit wooden...but maybe i haven't watched enough.. im going to do a lot more research and am open to any more advice. thanks!

sorry i forgot to mention that i live in the UK- it doesn't look like the juiced link preamp sells over here. Have you watched the digital rev review for GH2 v 60D- it doesn't seem to be that complementary... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6bzQfZ8OCQ So are lens' cheaper for the GH2?? can you recommend any in particular for starting out shooting nice video??

can you recommend anywhere to buy the T3i cheap?? Im intrigued by the GH2 but question as to why its so less popular than the canon DLSRs- there just seems to be a lot more advice and support and knowledge for the canon video community- like magic lantern- or maybe i just dont know enough about the GH2... also- what about recording audio with the GH2?

Hi, i am about to make my first DSLR purchase. I want to start shooting video and become skilled in this. I was thinking of getting the 650d (t4i) however i am aware it is not that much better than the 600d, and it woudl not have magic lantern (how vital is magic lantern). I keep hearing about the GH2- but from videos i have seen on vimeo i still prefer the canon look. can someone please give me some guidance. thanks
