the best camera of 2014 is the one that earnt you some money ......now go and buy some lenses , thats where the 'look' is really created
 
I think some of you are forgetting this is Andrew's list and if he wants a Canon at no1 then so be it , it is his forum after all........

​That's ironic coming from Kodak

I just want to add, the D750 is the best stills camera I have ever used. Shot a wedding with it last week and I am just blown away with the file versatility and high ISO performance. Nikon knocked it out of the park. And the video quality has been a pleasant surprise. I feel like the D750 is everything the 5d3 should've been when it came out.

Yes the D750 is an incredibly impressive stills camera. Really enjoying it with the Sigma 50mm F1.4. Didn't expect the AF to be so good on that lens wide open. Build quality also amazing as is the 'feel' and handling. For video it is definitely 5th though.

Andrew bought a 1DC? No wonder it was so cold in Texas today, hell must've frozen over!  
 
Looking forward to seeing what you shoot with it. I've always enjoyed the image out of it

Happy Christmas Andrew and  Happy holidays to all at EOSHD .....I hope Santa brought you all lots of lenses
 

Merry Christmas all! 

Have a great one, and cheers to my EOSHD friends wherever you are

For the record, I sold my C100 and 5D3 and went with an A7s and A7r. Way happier with the results for stills and video. I'll have a review on my site next week that I'll share here

I actually have on my desk right now - the FS7. I've not even turned it on yet but this thing is incredible. It's built like a rock and the grip is the best thing about it. Shooting a music video with a RAAAR RAAAR band on FS7 + a GH4 on a drone in a mental asylum with no roof tomorrow.
 
What was Shane on about again?  :P

It's news to me that the C100 Mark II's image competes with the full frame A7S 4K output, or the 10bit 4K GH4 output or the NX1's 4K output oversampled from a 6.5K sensor output.
 
"DSLR killer" it isn't.

It's really hard to take him seriously after what he said about 5D Mark II trashing GH4.

Wow I am surprised so many people didn't really like Interstellar, it was really a great movie for me at least, I guess It's for a different generation I don't know...
 
My favorite movies this year where Mommy by Xavier Dolan (he is 25 years old and makes such amazing movies it's insane! that guy is a genius) I also liked Gone Girl, Locke, Under the skin, The Grand Budapest Hotel and Boyhood.

Get an A7s, D750, or D810. Buy some nikkor lenses. Shoot to your hearts content

Any camera is perfect as long as you actually do something with it...besides just take test pictures of leaves and then compare DxO charts the rest of the time.

Or, just wait for the next big/best thing. Have a lot of patience because it never comes.

Perfection is the enemy of good enough. 

Andrew or anyone else shooting with this camera, do your initial impressions hold up? 
 
I'm shooting with the A7s for video and the A7r for stills. Very happy with the A7s, but autofocus on the A7r is abysmal. I've already got a lot of nikkor lenses and was thinking of picking this up as a B-camera 

Thanks Zach. I am pretty happy about it!

Deakins, Libatique, Cronenweth, Beebe... wow, that's alot of damn talent sitting at one table and sharing wisdom.
 
Interesting opinions on 4K and dynamic range.

If you live somewhere with a decent film school which is free, or at least low cost, then sure.... go for it!

But if it is an option of spending several years at uni while you get deeper and deeper in debt vs....  working for even very low pay (but not getting in debt) while gaining several years of experience, then I'm skeptical if uni is the better choice here?

Dear Santa
this is what I really really want just cos looks nice rehoused ! (and its my favourite lens)

I'm sure Channing Tatum is reconsidering his decision after reading this.

Absolutely, raw is still a benchmark for ultimate image quality. Let's be clear, I'm not denying that.
 
For me, now it's all about how close we can get to that beauty....but with more practical solutions like the GH4, A7S and D750.
 
I am over regular raw shooting now, as I ran out of space at the local aircraft hanger where I stored my hard drives.
