Nice lenses. They should work great with Canon's DPAF. I don't know anything about Gimbals. I would probably go the Steadicam, Glidecam or Movi route... But that's just me. I'd rather my stabilization be mechanical instead of electronic.

I'd still get the C100ii. Since you're coming from a modest Canon background, there's no reason to switch now. With your budget you can get a new c100ii, a good Sennheiser Mic, a good tripod, maybe a Stedicam Solo or a Movi. You can put together a really nice kit that will be a money maker and have itself paid off in no time. Then you can go experiment with a Sony or an Ursa. Btw, what Canon lenses do you have?

Gotcha. Are there any issues stacking a fader nd on top of a low con filter?

Ha, yeah I know, but I thought you said you were in LA. I've gotta try one of them contrast filters. Have you ever tried the Schneider Digicon filters?

Comgratulations!!! When I first started messing around with ML Raw, I say messing because I am no expert, but I found this article very useful. It just helps to get you going, quickly and easily. http://www.cineticstudios.com/blog/2014/08/the-easy-way-to-use-magic-lantern-raw-straight-to-prores.html

I would think the 1080p is closer to the C100 and the 4K is closer to the C300. Btw, the subway shots are my favorite. They look wicked. The diffusion filter works nicely. Black Mist? Btw, is that NY? I'm there now for work. I love this city.

Yeah, holy shit... That looks epic. Nice DR. Which Impulz did you use?

Yup! I've always liked the underexposed Canon look. The 70% zebra trick is what made me really love the camera. When I first got it, I had it set to 100% and for the life of me, I could not get the highlights down in post. I also made the mistake of leaving the built in ND on a couple times and being utterly confused by the settings... And then I had my duh moment. It's actually a shame the built in NDs don't have more power. As I said above, I leave it on manual and ride the exposure wheel. In 1080p with the 5-Axis I can walk around, with almost steadicam level of stability, ride the exposure and use Push AF. It's a ton of fun. With post I have had equally good results with LUTS and just simple saturation and curve adjustments. The Impulz Log to Rec709 LUTS really shine with the C-Log. I've also liked FilmConvert with it as well for a quick turnaround.

The RS wasn't bad in that video, but the DB was off the charts.

Btw, I doubt you're to blame... You're a better photographer than I am and I am liking my results... Maybe I have lower standards. Supposedly, Canon released a very informative white paper about c-log... I haven't read it, but a lot of people reference it.

The lens isn't great... Well it produces nice images, but the manual focus ring sucks and it would be better as a constant zoom. I wish it stayed at 2.8 up to 50mm. Have you been using the 1080p or the 4K?

Really? I find it to be the most pleasurable shooting experience I've encountered with any camera. I reset the custom buttons so Push AF is right on the grip and then the aperture wheel is easily accessible with my index finger. If you treat the focal lengths like 3 different zooms it works great... IMO. You have a 24-50 F/3.7, a 24-70 F/4 and then a full range at 5.6. Or it also works fine if you treat it as a bunch of primes. What don't you like about C-Log? I've found it has some good latitude in post but you have to expose it with the 75% zebras. If you use the 100%, you'll never pull back the highlights.

Yeah, but you have to admit that the NX1 is way better... Ugh. Lol.

I really hope Samsung gets back into the camera game, just so I can see NX2 littered upon every camera announcement thread instead of NX1. Good thing they left the market though, because every other camera manufacturer probably would have went out of business or stopped making cameras because their tech couldn't come close to the NX1 for at least another 5 or 10 years.

I agree on some level. 5 minutes is more than enough time for a a take. My fear would be how much cool down time in between takes is needed? The RX100 has been a unique line of cameras, that could be implemented so well with run and gun guerilla narratives. I will admit that I am intrigued by the 6.5 second raw bursts. A narrative could easily be designed with 6.5 second shots... But the question is... How many consecutive shots can be taken before that overloads their heat sinks?

Looks great. The lowlight holds up well. I just love the 5-Axis 1080 C-Log from this camera. I haven't tested the 60p yet, but it looks good. Was this shot with AF? Any post sharpening?

Yeah, that 25mm Voigtlander is a work of art. I briefly had the lens and it rendered beautifully with the G7 and the best lens I used with the Micro, but the crop factor of the Micro didn't suit my tastes with that lens... The 10mm or the 17mm would have been a better choice, so I ended up selling it to help offset the cost of the Micro. And now I'm selling the Micro and replacing it with the Pocket cam. I just bought the Panny 12-35mm for the Pocket, to use the Pocket as its name suggests. I may try and pick up a used 17mm Voigtlander if the price is right.

It looks pretty good. And since this is a tech site, it was cool to know the equipment used. The GH3 holds up nicely. The slow motion mixed with the sheer opulence of the location and subject matter created some tense visuals that really pushed the scene forward. But most importantly I was engaged with the story and am curious to know what happens next... So... Smart move releasing the first 5 minutes as a teaser. Good luck with it and reply back when and where the film is released.

You know c-log has zero in camera sharpening. I've only used c-log and wide dr. I glanced at cinema eos for a sec, it seemed okay... But I didn't stay on it too long, I just like 1080 c-log with the 5-Axis too much to deviate for too long.

Welcome aboard... I look forward to seeing your results. Have you tested the 1080 and the 4K? Once you get the hang of the slip into f/3.7 and start riding the aperture wheel, the low end... 24-50 really shines.

No, but I am curious how that Yashica Scope Anamorphic would fair with it.

The a5100 may sizzle and crumble to ash in your hands if they were enabled.

Yeah but the 1080 image from the D750 isn't as good as internal 4K downscale to 1080 from the C100ii. IMO.

Yeah, you definitely can, just more difficult composing at a 50mm equivalent focal length. Btw, I think that video was C100ii. But the 1080 image is similar and the 4K image from the XC10 is bonkers.

Is it fairly easy to match the video from the 80d with the c100 clog? I have an XC10 and I love it but it lacks shallow depth of field for close ups, so I was thinking the 80d could fill that gap, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get them to match.
