I do think people get used to the Canon "look" - like someones taste in ketchup - everything else seems bad, but in reality it isnt, just different.

My post wasn't meant to be entirely serious dude. Chillax

Fury is my favourite film in the cinema at the moment. Intsteller? Quite bad.
 
I was certainly slightly underwhelmed by it all. I thought the focus on Dad-Daughter relationship was misguided and took the edge of the thrills and also "sci-fi" aspects. If you're going to focus on human relationships in those sort of "strange" environments, much better to focus on the interactions between the crew (which is what makes Band of Brothers so good). Also, bringing "love" into the cod-science was slightly embarassing. If I were making the film I would have focused on the dystopian elements a lot more in the beginning (rather than the previously mentioned Dad-daughter trype) and, at the end, would also have abandoned all that tosh. Fundamentally, if you're going to pose "big questions" you either need to go b*t sh*t crazy in answering them (a la 2001: A Space Odyssey) or provide some big answers (although that is neigh on impossible to do - look at the second and third Matrix films). They could have come up with some crazy world beyond the wormhole, or simply implied it was up to Ann Hathaway to save the human race (and I would have bene happy to ignore the huge issues with that). It was also strangely predictable. As soon as they landed on the first planet I thought "that's a giant wave in the background", as soon as they found Mann and the robot was broken up I thought "he's gone crazy" but it wasn't done in a good enough way to ratchet up the tension, I sort of knew Matt Damon would try to kill Cooper. Also not annoucning Matt Damon in the cast etc is a big mistake. As soon as he woke up I spent 15 seconds going "is that Matt Damon"? If you're going to have a "star" uncredited, it pulls people out of the film. It only works when they are cast hugely against type and have a suitable entrance (think Once Upon a Time in the West although, of course, Henry Fonda was credited) or, perhaps, when it is revealed that Arnie is the good guy in Terminator 2 (perhaps lost on us who weren't exposed to the advertising and potentially "knew" about the T1000 anyway).

Ok so the Messiah will not come again.

I honestly believe the 5dmk4 is going to be mega. That is all.

No that's a thing called an iPhone. You may have already heard of it.
 
Failing that you could look into what are known as 'camcorders' - they are sometimes quite well designed for shooting video with. And you're much less likely to phone somebody by accident with one of those.
 
 
But if you're wanting to replicate Shoah your best bet is probably to strap a GoPro to your head and stick it up your own backside for several hours. 

First the Messiah and now the Holocaust. And I thought cameras were a bit boring ...

I've realised I have no beef with larger cameras - and my plan is to just use the replacement of the Fuji x100s for everything when I want smaller size. Dont need a small video cam. Full frame for intercheangle lenses, fixed for smallness.

There is a lot of choice nowadays, but actually isnt the 5dmk3 still the ultimate allrounder? For the price I'd like more dynamic range in stills, sure, but thats really this cameras only downside...I have wasted about 18 months (as I am new to this stuff) wasting time and money on other things and have now realised this is it...

Fuzzy - how did you manage to sell the zoom lens? Isnt it only usable on the gm1? The stabilisation on it is absolutely incredible!

I am absolutely blown away that the images how come out like they did, they just don't look like they're from a digital sensor.

Is there anything I can get away with in a Nikon mount? I want to avoid investing in M4/3 glass...
 
If I have no choice, is the 14mm Panasonic good enough for documentary work?
 
Thanks!
