  1. I have a hacked GH2 but am planning on selling it, i'm not quite happy with the image and the usability of the camera. Had a lot of shit during pro shoots where I got in trouble with the production because fast SD cards werent fast enough for the hack etc... If someone's looking for a cheap GH2, i'm selling mine for 350€. I'm from Belgium so postage will be "something".
  2. Thanks for the first responses. Audio is no issue for me, as I am usually the DP for projects and there is a seperate person on set for audio. I actually forgot about the Moire and aliasing, this was also a big plus for the 5Dmk3. I've used the BMCC before on professional shoots and have had mixed results, i don't have experience with the 5D in RAW mode though. I'm just slightly, slightly worried about the future proofing of the 5Dmk3. Datastreams are capped at about 100mb/s i believe, on the fastest CF cards, so i don't see 2.5K or even 4K shooting coming soon to the 5D, so the BMCC does have that going for itself. I'm leaning towards the 5D, but am still very interested in other opinions.
  3. Hi, i'm about to make a (for me) big investment of getting my own camera rig. Doing commercial work I'm surprised at how high the demand is for a simple but qualitative shooting setup without going to rental companies etc... And i also need something to hone my skills on. I've worked with Alexa, Red Epic, Ikonoskop, 5D pre-raw days, Black Magic, ... a lot basically, but for my own investment, i'm looking at the 5D with RAW and the BMCC. Which will give me the best bang for my buck? In my eyes: PRO 5D - Full Frame - 14-bit raw - Magic Lantern is actually more user-friendly than the current BMCC firmware CONTRA 5D - Price - "Only" FullHD PRO BMCC - 2.5K - Price - Free Resolve CONTRA BMCC - Crop sensor - 12-bit RAW When i see videos of the 5D with RAW i'm always amazed on the quality of the image, while on the BMCC, i'm sometimes stuck with this "video" feel. I think this mostly has to do with the actual DP/operator, so that's why i was wondering if you guys would way in. I will be shooting anamorphic in the future, as soon as i can afford the new Letus adaptor or find an Isco 36 somewhere here in Belgium. I've shot with the Elite anamorphics on an Alexa and with Hawk C-series on an Epic and am absolutely in love with the anamorphic look. The right question to ask is what my shooting style is, and it is not run and gun, but very prepared. I mostly do shorts and advertisements. My showreels are on my website: www.bearwithme.be What do you guys think?
