Then the Sony 35mm f1.8 has optical stabilisation in a fairly small lightweight package. I'd prefer that over the Canon pancake

I've read that too, many times! Crazy What they don't realise is: good video = sells more cameras. More cameras sold = more cameras to spread fixed costs over. Lower fixed costs = lower priced cameras for everyone! (including "pure" photographers)

Did the canon t6i and newer DSLRs with their new 24MP sensor do any better with video? How did they compare to the competition? As we know Canon 18MP APS-C DSLRs were quite awful.

If I cared about aerodynamics I'd have shaved my beard!

You can see however they're filming with a big bulky cinema camera. So certainly nothing video related.

Am disappointed that Sony never updated the a5100 :-( I liked that little guy, I had one myself. However there is indeed such a lens for it! The Sony 20mm f/2.8 pancake lens, which is close enough.

Quoting this for no other reason than how awesome this article is. Read it. Laugh. Read it again. Laugh some more! The Panasonic GH1 came out long before the C300mk1

Thought 3D (for anything that is not VR) was dead?? RED wants to dig up 3D again?!

Yes even Arri Alexa Mini shoots going for a "polished look" will shoot with an easyrig.

The most important thing. I was kinda a little bummed when I realised the other night that my BMPCC only had 1080, and nothing else! As I only had a teeny card with me and I know my interview subject would ramble on and on and on and on and on and on..... thus I wouldn't have minded considering 720 for this particular shoot, as it was only going to FB anyway (plus I was doing it for free! While getting drunk with friends on a saturday night...) Nofilmschool went downhill years ago. I don't even bother checking their website now. They only have useless writers now it seems who don't have a clue. If there was a class action lawsuit against Canon for being misleading then I'd singlehandedly buy up enough popcorn to cause a countrywide shortage of popcorn. I bet Panasonic's next sub $1K G series camera will have 4K without a crop.

Any one remember the Nokia N97? I really wanted this back when it came out. Has a full qwerty keyboard that slides out from underneath. Nokia E70 was even more trippy with its fold out keyboard: And of course us video geeks would get a real kick out their Nokia N92:

Better advice would be to find another career.... ? While this camera is certainly not for me, I love how quickly Fuji has moved forward over the last couple of years and it makes me excited for Fuji as to what the next couple of years will bring! Sad but true, there is still a significant segment on hardcore photography forums who are under the crazy belief that putting video in a camera MAKES IT WORSE!! ?? :-/ wtf My guess is the C100mk3 will be like the C200 but without raw.

I started that thread ;-) Wanted to convert a few redusers over! :-P

Cash! Always cash. Credit is scary, easy to slip too far down that slippery slope.... So I never have. A Colorchecker Xrite Passport is a good idea too. Very true. I've seen this used on sets on such cameras.

Shot in Rec709 and ProResLT! ha Quick BTS on my YT channel: The final edited result is already up: And this is how a clip looked straight out of camera (you can even hear how I recorded the right track at a lower level than the left track! Intentionally so as a safety measure):

One motorbike. Rest were/are bicycles. (only still own a handful, but at one point I owned a dozen all at once!) Yup, never owning a car helps have more money spare for this expensive business of filmmaking! But I feel within a couple of years or so then simply for my career I'll need to buy a stationwagon or a transit van.

Movies become a lot less fun if they need to cover several software development teams wrangling tens of thousands of lines of code, instead of focusing on one central character as the lead.

Have multiple friends who purchased an EVA1, can't think of anyone at the moment who got a C200 who I personally know here in Auckland. But I'm sure they exist. A Ninja Star 4K so you could have a super small device automatically giving you ProRes 4K files out of the C200 would be a game changer for many folks. Or heck even if they just made a small monitor recorder with a 5" screen that does 4K, as no one else does that aside from Video Devices I'm very surprised that with a purchase of that magnitude a person didn't even consider the EVA1 for a moment.

Good grief! I've owned ZERO cars in my lifetime. But then again I've owned probably nearing on two dozen bikes over my life.

That was intentional, as a talking head alone can be quite borrowing. Plus his topic is about computers / visual media, thus I thought it would be nice to layer in those into the scene into the background and then another layer into the deep background. Would I do it the same all over again if I did this say tomorrow while sober? (I wasn't then!) Yup, probably. Although what I would change is I would tone down the brightness of the monitors, by how much.... hmm, maybe even by as much as 50%? (plus a number of other tweaks, such as I wish I didn't have to use a softbox as a hair light, and I wish I could have had more time to play around with how I was splashing bits of light onto the background) But we were very quickly running out of time. Remember, I'd already had a full day of filming beforehand, working on this feature: Thus we didn't have too much spare time available, because we really wanted to get into town before all the clubs closed up for the night. (as it was errr... we kinda missed that! Oops. Well, we got into one bar we spent the rest of the night in, but it wasn't our 1st or even 3rd choice, but nowhere else was letting us in because it was already too late in the night!)

Nothing else on the market can match its specs

If only it was 502! Would be rather tempting

The Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 is a very affordable lens for what it is. Of course there are YouTubers who can afford it. And you can use it on almost ANYTHING! (that isn't FF35) I have my Sigma in NIkon F mount and I've used it on: BMPCC, D5200, D90, G6, F3, GH1, etc... and those are just my cameras! Also taken it out and had it used on shoots on other cameras too such as a Panasonic EVA1 and many others.

You're going to be waiting a very looooooooooooong time before Canon puts IBIS into a cheap camera! The G80 is already very cheap, and the likes of a Panasonic 25mm f1.7 lens on sale is only US$99 Skip IBIS and you can get a secondhand Panasonic G7 for dirt dirt cheap! (skip 4K and you can get a G6 for a song!)
