I wish olympus would just fix the video mode on the OMD. It could be such a perfect camera for me

one is from the original and the other one is the MarkII

those look almost exactly identical to me

Very nice photography Andrew. Thanks for sharing. 

Since there is a strong code of omerta among those who've handled a 70D, stopping them all from even mentioning "video moire," I would presume it's still using line skipping garbage.

 

I imagine Canon has a term sheet as to what can and cannot be discussed about pre-production cameras and that would be in boldface on the list. This is among the many reasons one shouldn't pre-order anything other than out of charity, which Canon certainly doesn't need. We'll know the skinny within days of shipment date.

 

Yeah...seems similar to the 6D release. I'm hoping its fixed. If its not, I won't buy it

As a photographer and 5d3 user this camera really does excite me. I shot a wedding today and using the t2i as a B-cam really is becoming a burden. As long as moire is fixed and we see the same high ISO improvements I think I'll definitely be picking this up. Paired with the new Sigma 1.8 zoom or comparable fast zoom, and it could be a great documentary solution as Andrew mentioned

wireless speetlite transmitter is a cool feature. Video autofocus seems much improved which is great for wedding shooters like me

there you have it

I normally don't get upset over these kinds of things but the lack of 24p in my RX100 really peeves me. I feel like it should easily be offered as a free firmware update. Certainly shouldn't have to pay $100 difference for it. 

 

I feel better now having complained to you all :) 

Wonderfully weird work BUT I'd like to just say that this is in no way the first short film to use 5D3 RAW.  Electric Igloo shot a feature over memorial day weekend that is now in post and we wrapped this short on June 16th which is also now in post.

won't be a huge step up in image quality I bet. 10 bucks say it still has moire aliasing. (i hope i'm wrong though)

I wish there was one that did it to a card!  I don't want raw or big bitrates, but more colour information than 8bit would be really nice on a dslr

Seems like a no brainer, and yet, it doesn't exist! As a documentary shooter the idea of raw is just awful to me, but more color information in h.264 would be so welcome

looks like they've fixed just about everything with the RX100! Think i'll be listing mine on ebay and picking this up as soon as it comes out

Hey folks. I am a huge fan of the saying "limitations breed creativity" so I shot a 45 second short on my iPhone. 

Nothing serious here, but a good exercize in planning shots and editing. Hope you enjoy

and he says now the Pocket Cam will do RAW - thats good news

I think this is a reaction to Canon Magic Lantern RAW

The pocket cam has been advertised with raw since the day it was announced. 

This looks terrible....Aston Kutcher? really?

Could you post a few examples of your footage? We really have no idea of what you're talking about or how to help you unless we can see the footage. 

You can knock a lot of junk out of the image by getting closer to your subject and using a wider aperture so that less in focus. At that distance at 5.6 everything is going to be in focus, which the 600d doesn't do well. I think better composition is a huge part of what you're missing. 

 

You only posted 2 very short clips so its hard to judge by that, but thats really what comes to mind when watching them.

My intention with those clips is to make an edit at the end of the year, most of the clips will not be in slo-mo, but I don't know which clip will be in slo-mo and which not. I will decide it at the end of the year when i will be doing the edit. OK then, I will try some tests with lower shutter speed and I will see if it is better... but I still think that the quality, the amount of details is not very good. And I think it is not as sharp as it might be, do you think it will not be sharper than it is now?

 

It will be sharper if you film it in 1080

This is just plain cool. I've used the RX100 for similar tasks (YouTube celebrities generally) and they always ask "is that good enough" in some manner.

Good stuff

Make sure to turn down in camera sharpening on the picture profile you use if you haven't already. That will help a lot with moire

Wonder where they are located, one of the Ford plants is closing down in my city.

Port Melbourne, says the ad. A bit far from me

Yes, it has an hdr mode

Now THAT is cool. I'd love to try this thing out

I would also say that a steadicam is probably not necessary off the bat, I find myself never wanting to deal with it. If you have 2 shooters it can be a nice 2nd option. I use a slider a lot throughout the day and find that it is more useful for capturing the details and setting of a wedding. Just my personal preference though!

I think the 5D2 is a good choice, but would really advise a 2 camera setup if you can manage that.

I use the 5D3 and a t2i. Having the 5D3 is helpful as it gets passed the pesky 12 minute time limit, so during the ceremony I usually have it set up on a tripod while I capture close ups and details on my t2i. I occasionally use the RX100 as the camcorder instead though it can have problems with heat.

I would absolutely suggest zoom lenses. A 24-70 and 70-200 would cover everything, though that's a hefty investment. I have been renting the telephoto for most weddings. Additionally a fast 50/85 and maybe a macro lens for small details are something I would suggest.

For audio, I would strongly suggest buying 2-3 cheap portable recorders. A couple zoom H1s or smaller tascams. Some are small enough to fit into a shirt pocket which is great for recording vows. If the vows and pastor are micd, I always just stick a recorder in front of the house speakers. Having a shotgun mic straight into the camera is nice for interviews but not a great option for everything you'll need to get at the wedding
