PL and CY can mount to EF, I don't think EF can mount to PL due to flange distance... the EF mount camera will be more adaptable/flexable

Enny, there are pl to ef adapters, cost a bit though... plenty of cy to ef adapters about cheap - all Yashi ml lenses cover full frame 35mm

One lens I'm curious in for Canon APS-C is the good old 17-55mm F2.8

I know it's sharp for a zoom and convenient, but is it cinematic? How's the rendering? Any samples?

My issue with this lens is that like many stills zooms, it starts pinching at about 24mm - for me a big part of the cinematic look is mild to wild barrel distortion

Just to chime in, I have found the 22 on my eos m1 to be an awesome little lens, and the 18-55 is pretty good too I reckon  

#2 the cheap camera?

Nice thread, very informative! Cheers

Was just looking at these two the other day, the Canon is recommended as having great iq and much better built... the sample images I saw looked good, I'm not a big fan of most modern canon lenses, liked what I saw of this one though. The speed of the Sigma is tempting .. what camera are you using? The Sigma definitely seems to have a mojo on some sensors, a not oversharp but mega detailed look.. 

I've heard good things about Ikea shower curtains!

Dedo's are my favourite lights ever - 100w isn't much, but for anything - especially involving products - get the dedo's! If you get the redheads too, I reckon 2 dedo's and redheads could do almost anything you need! 

I'd also suggest looking at the new eos m5 as a b cam

I found it to be a total waste of money, but hey that's just my opinion.

You tried the feelworld/seetec evf?

Get it even cheaper here http://www.dx.com/p/feelworld-e350-3-5-evf-electronic-viewfinder-w-hdmi-input-output-black-414998#.V-3pXMncibg

I remember reading a review of this once, they found it quite useable..

Here it is https://***URL removed***/forums/post/51646963

yup - horrible post stabilization effects for me too - really nauseating! Yuk! I think to stabilize effectively in post, you need to shoot at a higher shutter, and or framerate - add blur in post.. tweak the settings.. overshoot the frame for crop room - anything to stop it looking like this! 

Interested in this myself, one inexpensive solution I am looking at might be something like this https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1265749-REG/ikan_vl35_3_5_4k_support.html with a cheap loupe..

The $8 loupe I got for my eos-m is alot better than any evf I have used so far..  hopefully we will see even cheaper, hi quality 3.5 & 4 inch monitors, the 5 and ups just seem way too big if you want a really compact rig.

I would love to see a really nice, small monitor for about us $125... or there is always the Frankenstein option 

It ships in 3 years

Ah ok, that makes sense.

Sony only license other lens makers.  They will never allow another camera manufacturer to make an E mount camera.

Is this a Sony thing? Canon have done it, so why would Sony never do this.. do they have some tradition of not licensing anything?

Hey thanks Dahlfors, it took literally 1 minute to get Keynote to do exactly what I wanted! Cheers!

With no notable benefit over the existing MFT, that *is* open and available (unlike E mount, which is *NOT*).

It really is that simple. Is stupendous you keep on hammering on about E mount.

Well, E mount does seem the best supported for aftermarket active adapters, nice short flange distance - who says E mount is not available? EF was, so why not E.. do you know that Sony won't license the mount?

Getting there with ms word - thanks for the suggestions! I bet after messing around for hours on the pc with word, it will take about 5 minutes on the mac

Thanks Kaylee - I might pages - have a pc desktop and a mac laptop.. I will keep trying! Cheers

Hi everyone, does anybody know of a good/easy to use software for making music video pitches like these ones?

http://djbooth.net/news/entry/how-a-music-video-made-treatment-rapsody

http://www.slideshare.net/Maah246/music-video-treatment-15425578

Something where its easy to resize and place photos etc, and simple enough to use without having to feel like a pro graphic designer? Drag and drop, or easy to use templates?

Regards,

Michael

You use the Cinema cams as your A & B cams and the original eos-m as your C cam?

probably means c100, c300 etc

This camera ticks alot of boxes - 60p, stabilization, better screen, speedboosters, Canon colours, DPAF. Lets hope some efm mount active speedboosters start appearing. Cons for me - 8 bit, low bitrate, no 4k..

You would think it has the 80d image quality - we will see.

The two cameras have the same sensor.

Well, a pocket with the 60p then

I suppose a pocket 2 with the micro cinema sensor would be quite nice
