Hope there's 25/50P for us in PAL countries.

Why is everyone acting so surprised if this is true? I've already said that this is a business decision. Why sell you 4K for $3000 when they can do so for $15000? 

There are so many who only know Canon that they'll lap it up.

Gah, all the Imperial units. Luckily B&H offers metric.

This list seems to be geared towards bigger productions though. I'll admit to using fairly small LED lights myself...

​Nope, the 40mm is different. As a STM lens it's actually focus-by-wire.

Yes, this is why you cannot compete on mere technical ability alone now. Unfortunate when you're at production level and the managers are not fighting for you.

Uh, yea, just like you do HDR on a tripod. Or focus stacking.

Also, I believe outsourcing is common these days, no?

It sucks, and not just in VFX. Whatever industry you're in, it doesn't matter the amount of work you do; the further you are away from the "front office", the more "disposable" you are. Reading sunyata's post triggers memories of a bunch of anecdotes that's starting to rile me up even now. >.<

Swivel LCD and video improvements are great. No PDAF though...

Your phone!

But yea, FZ1000 or LX100.

Given that

​Coupled with the rise of online streaming the differences in that area might not even mean that much. It's kinda a bit like MP3s in the audio world. It's good enough for most and the convenience won out.

12 and 16 is fairly big at wide angles, try it and you'll see. However I rarely like to use such ultra-wides for video work. Stills definitely, but not video. Maybe for an establishing shot of the scene but to date for actual paid stuff (corporate videos) the widest I go is 24 equivalent.

It's still there?

Edit: Definitely still there.

Gah, another double post. >.<

On the topic of the various VFs: Even with a battery in the OVF of a D5300 with its pentamirror can't match a properly done EVF. Problem is I don't know if the A6000's EVF is going to be like the A7 (terrible live feed with aliasing) or like say, the XT-1 (incredibly sharp with great optics).

OT: ​I've got a couple of double posts too. Think the forum software is lagging a bit.

The moment you use anything non-Samsung you will not have AF and IS. Both lenses you mentioned have no IS anyway. So if you want AF and IS you must use Samsung lenses.

To add to the above, the skill in directing, editing and grading makes a huge difference too.

Both lenses are a bit hard to use manually, as they have very thin focus rings. Plus the 50/1.8 has so much mechanical slop in it.

You know what I liked? Her. That was one beautiful movie.

​I don't think the gorillas will appreciate that! But a few big ones might scare the police for a while.

Wouldn't take the GO, as it's not self-powered.

One of the things many people don't mention is that with cheap DSLRs you get a pentamirror, not a pentaprism, for the OVF. The view is also smaller.

No one should use Ken Rockwell as a source.

I'm pretty happy with my GH3 but the new Nikon lenses are so nice.
