With the NX500, not sure if it's the same with the NX1, there is a setting for "auto wb + tungsten" and I found that to always be pretty spot on, regardless of the scenario.

I work in the trade show industry and everything Tupp said is correct. Also, don't be afraid to record people in your client's booth without their permission. Your client is renting that space and during that time, it is their property. You have every right to record people who enter their property... Just don't overthink it. Or worry too much about it Even though it seems to be a camera friendly show, during set up, you may want to refrain from recording other exhibitor's booths. A lot of these people are exhibiting products for the first time and they can be leery about unknown people standing in front of their booth, during set up and recording their material. As far as equipment... What you have is fine. The majority of hired videographers that show up at a trade shows have either a monopod or a small steady cam with a shiny Canon camera attached. So good 1080p is more than enough. And most have either a rode video Mic attached and plugged into their camera, or no mic at all. If you plan on doing floor interviews, just get a decent lav and plug it directly into the camera, or a recorder, your Shure will be perfect for this. Pick up one of those cheap Audio Technica or Azden lavs and you should be good to go. Just remember not to get in the salesman's way. You should be a fly on the wall and most of the time, not even in the booth and filming from the aisle with a small footprint. Don't bring too much gear because there will be nowhere in the booth for you to store it and you don't want to have to lug around a bunch of gear you don't need. Also, remember it will be warm in there, so dress accordingly. Show management and the convention center look for any way they can save money, which usually means turning the AC off every night and putting it back on a half hour before the show starts. With all of the lights and people, it can get pretty toasty. Good Luck!!!

So, in the 2.5k mode, this is just a bigger crop?

Did you use a LUT for the Quick Grade 1 of Gunpowder? I really like that look!!!

Does the mjpeg have a thicker look? What lenses are you using with the 1DC?

Great price... How do you like it? How would you compare the 4K from the 1DC to the 4K of the XC-10? Do you still have that camera?

The ungraded footage looks amazing, and then quick grade 1 just adds that nice, little extra POP. Good job. Color Finale?

Ha. 20 pages in and all I find are references to native lenses and that you can change ISO. I assume since the G7 shares its sensor with the GX8, I can search for the GX8's native ISO as well. Either way, I always try and stay below ISO 800 anyway.

Sorry, a little OT, but how do you find out a camera's native ISO... Specifically the G7? Obviously, I have googled it but couldn't find anything.

Did you do b&w in camera or in post? If in post, can you explain the workflow, because it really looks great. Also, what kinda lighting did you use?

According to the rumor, the specs for the camera changed a year or so ago, based on something video related, so I wouldn't be surprised if they implemented some of the ML tricks into their official firmware. It would make the most sense, since a lot of it is already there. If they did come out with official Canon Raw, that would a genius move.

Effing gorgeous... The lenses look okay too...haha. I assume this is with the NX1?

I have some Minolta MD lenses. Some Pentax M, Some Sigma in FD mount. Some Canon FL, a couple Takumar, some vivitar M42, a couple Pentacon m42, Chinon m42, a Contax Zeiss Planar 50mm 1.7, an Olympus om 28mm f2 and 50mm 1.8, a Tokina 24-40 in OM mount and a Tokina RMC 25-50 in PK mount, etc, etc, etc...

Am looking to sell my NX500, so I thought someone on here might be interested in a lightly used NX500 to use toward the hack. I could sell just the body, or for a little more I'll throw in some vintage lenses and adapters... I have a bunch, so if you're interested in the body plus lenses let me know and I will give you a list of the lenses I have. Pictures available upon request.

Hey Jonesy, no worries. Weird though... I was wondering about this earlier today... I have a bunch of questions but not enough time right now, so I just wanted to quickly say congratulations!!! I hope you rake in the bucks. You can guarantee at least 3 bucks from me within the next couple of weeks.

It would be cool if they let you keep it. And then you would probably have enough cameras to start EOSHD Rentals.

He had 3x crop enabled in ML... So 105mm is 315mm.

Quite frankly, Canon runs their camera division much smarter than Sony. Sure it isn't exciting to us, but it's smart business. A small investment in R&D yields years and years of profit. Sony, for instance, must spend butt loads of money on R&D, and updating their production, making their profit margins much smaller. But this is just my assumption.

I would love it if they put out an interchangeable lens xc10 with the EF-M mount. C-mount lenses with 4K log... Sure they have, you are correct, but they have made small, incremental steps toward building a mirrorless system. With Sony's success in that market, it would be stupid of Canon not to try and get some of that market share.

Actually, they are fairly certain the prosumer mirrorless camera will have 4K, yet other tumors state that one of the 3 mirrorless cameras Canon intends to release will be a full frame. http://www.canonrumors.com/prosumer-level-canon-mirrorless-camera-to-have-4k-cr2/

Canon rumors has stated multiple times with fairly high certainty that Canon is releasing a professional full frame mirrorless camera by year's end.

Nope. Not silly at all. What gives you the right to decide what is silly for another person to do? But the real point is/was, for whatever reasons, it is not ridiculous for a person to get a little angry, for waiting almost a year for a product with promised specs and then that camera is not delivered as promised.

I need a stronger codec.

I don't think that's fair. A lot of people have been waiting for a promised product, perhaps even started planning projects based on these promised specs, or decided against other equipment because of BM's promised specs. Why should they be told how to feel when disappointment is forced upon them?

Yeah right, I just picked up a Sigma, and although it's not as sharp as your Zeiss... I never realized how ugly I was until I saw my self through that lens. Lol. And yes, that kid had major game... I'm wondering if I should go out and buy some Huggies... It might work if I can find 'em in my size.
