Just 2 papers which question the wisdom of blindly applying animal models to a human context. UG stuff. Totally irrelevant to these fora but you did ask.
The fact that you "studied" something is irrelevant. I have studied the spec sheet of a Red epic. Does that make me an "expert" in the art of  cinematography? On your logic, yes. I wish! 
Your approach to the scientific method is flawed. A good scientist presents evidence FOR his or her proposition. They do not demand that someone produces evidence to the contrary. (Unicorns exist. If you don't accept that prove that they don't. Reductio ad absurdum).  And evidence in this respect isn't a collection of random copy'n'paste from a variety of sources (rarely peer reviewed).  
You mention refraining from alcohol. Generally good advice (as witnessed elsewhere by Kaylee's story). But remember

Always a counter-example!
But this is impinging on my day job and it's dull. I apologise for treating your posts like one of my student essays! 
On a not totally unrelated note - you don't by any chance have direct experience of comparing high ISO footage on the C200 compared to your C300ii do you? (I think you have the latter?) I'd be interested to learn more about that as I'm thinking of a C200.

The term "Guardian Reader" is often used to describe a "champagne socialist". The sort of person who happily debates social inequality over a glass or two whilst warming in front of an Aga in their £500,000 kitchen renovation.
The sort of person who might make a mini doc about the homeless on their personal Red in the hope of changing social attitudes.
Not something to be taken too seriously...

I'm joking guys.

That's what it says on the box (apparently - not seen one) so that's good enough! Please, no more Nyquist...

There is, I hope, more to being a Mod than having the ability to delete or lock or otherwise censor threads. It might be useful if one of the criteria for being a mod was a demonstrable interest in answering questions posed by interested (and often interesting) beginners and/or more experienced filmmakers - to have made a positive contribution and helped people. Not my place to determine whether Ed fits that.

It'll be released on the 29th of September.
Pricing for the hardware will be around £50 depending on where you get it and what you may already have.
Price for the software will be £0.00/€0.00/$9.99
 

Does this board even have moderators?

If smartphone film making does take over, I wonder how long it will be before people start posting about the iPhone 12S or whatever it'll be being a bit too clinical and adapting the lenses from iPhone 5s because its got more mojo 
Or hipsters going all Lomo with old Soviet mobile phones 
 

Bastards.

I'd be careful when going too "budget". I have bought three cheap sliders. They wobble and stick and are just generally unpleasant to use. If I'd been more sensible I think I'd have bought a (cheapest) Kessler in the first place...

I have no problem with anyone believing this speculative metaphysics if that is what they need to do. But it is "belief". It isn't "physics" or science - there is no "evidence" or reproducible fact or experimental hypothesis. In the strict use of the term it is non-sense. Appealing to "quantum-this" or "quantum-that"  might look good but really just exhibits an ignorance of quantum mechanics (which by definition operates at a quantum scale). The Higgs field is not, as far as I am aware, something one can opt out of.  Of course, much like any religious belief system, the absence of verification also implies the absence of empirical falsification hence the comparative ease with which adherents can fabricate arguments which prima facie support their views: "of course you can't see aliens, they wear invisibility cloaks".
Personally I'm happy to live within the boundaries of what is real and watch what is not on the big screen.

Antigravity? Quantum mechanics?
No. Its just the Red Hydrogen phone...

Yes - I guessed that!

Slight correction I just noticed : 
Either way, you shouldn't pay more than 200€ for that anamorphic adapter.

Thanks for the wise words!
I think I'll opt for the Isco ultra star and see where I end up...

Why not just be happy to keep the A7S rather than waste emotional energy "wanting" a sports-journalists still camera? The A7Siii might offer more of what you require for a video upgrade but until then you have a camera you "love" so it's a good place.

The very first prototype I did was not too dissimilar actually !

I've often thought the Sony Vita (the handheld PlayStation) would be perfect for this sort of thing... but I'm sure there must be a reason why it's not!

I don't know what caused the person who filmed that to fall on his head and damage his brain so much that he thought filming that was a good idea. Maybe the same insanity that Kathy Griffin had? Utterly insensitive and stupid. 

This looks amazing. Really gets that super16 feel.
I've been shooting a series of docs with bmmcc and zeiss 12-120. Here's one. It comes out a bit sharper than the Angeniuex but still love the whole combo with old s16 glass
 

Nobody complains when we compare the FS5 to an A7R II. People need to know what extra they are getting for their money.
Sure the market is a bit different and form factor different but there's overlap... You can't tell me not a single pro is using an A7R II or GH5, can you?
By that same token, not every pro videography or wedding guy is using the SDI on their C200, whose biggest selling point to many people is the lack of need to rig extras onto it like external recorders and monitors via SDI. Not every pro is using timecode to sync footage between 5 other cameras on a shoot and not every C200 user will even be using the XLRs, some will strip it down to the bare bones and put it on a gimbal, with sound done like it has always been done in the film days - a separate job for another man.
So shut up.
