I've spent several days reading through the ML forums and a few other sites but still ended up with questions, mostly on the post end of things so I decided it was time to see what was in the guide. It's helped get me further faster on all levels. Yes you may still have to search for further answers but this guide helped me find them and the answers so much faster. I'm about to do a three day commercial shoot with the Mark III and trying to cram in as much learning as I can between other comittments. This helped bring things together and confirm my impressions and simply cut through a lot of the noise.   Price, let's look at this with a proper perspective. If a friend of mine helps me out, lends me gear whatever, I might buy them lunch. Cost $20. This blog has been one I visit constantly, you may not agree with everything on it but it would be dull if you did ; ). One thing I can't argue with is that Andrew and his posts have kept me informed and inspired. I have personally benefited from the hard work he has done here and generously shared. The post on CF cards got me to avoid Transcend cards and that savings alone is worth it. Support the man, you know it will go straight back into his passion ; ).   I found the sections on mb/s with various ratios a big help in my planning for the upcoming job and the LUT section brought a few things to my attention that I'd missed.    Thanks Andrew.

Thanks Andrew   Some questions on the workflow and the CineForm raw.   1. Take the raw canon file, convert to Cineform raw ( saving a large amount of storage space)   2. Colour balance the Cineform in Cineform Studio or Cineform premium   3. Bring the Cineform raw files ( now with metadata for colour) into Premiere to edit.   Can you can then go back to Studio/Premium and tweak the CC as you like and have that change reflected in Premiere?   Right now I going through LR as I like the VSCO presets I have then ripping tiffs. But if I do want to change things around I have to go through LR then rip another set of tiffs if I want to make larger CC moves.   Thanks,   Christopher

I just received mine today and having only used a Hero2 on occasion before I am working my way through this. Andrew does yours kick a large amount of heat when operating, especially when using the wifi? I also found the wifi drained the battery very quickly. As it's so new I'm still figuring out it's quirks ; )
