Hi all,
Totally new here and looking forward to jumping in on the conversation. I'm a student of media and communication in Rochester, NY. I have experience in stills, but I am just delving into video.
I currently shoot with a Nikon D7000 and an ever-changing assortment of lenses. The D7000 is very limiting as far as video goes, so I'm looking to add a camera to my bag that will open up some new avenues as far as frame rates and bit rates go. I'm interested in learning more about color grading, so naturally RAW video is attractive to me, but that comes at a price -- both monetary and in terms of other gear to support the file sizes.
With that being said, I'm interested in picking up a body that will let me explore some more video options. Particularly I've been looking at Canon cameras, paired with Magic Lantern (i.e. EOS-M, T2i, 50D, 7D) or possibly a Panasonic camera (G6, GH2).
I'm looking for something that I can shoot compressed video which can be color graded, as well as something that opens up more options in the realm of RAW capabilities and higher frame rates. Just looking to hear what you all have found works well! (As an example of where this question comes from, I've been exploring Magic Lantern's "Raw capabilities chart" but have yet to find significant information regarding the Magic Lantern possibilities for compressed video.) My only requirement is the ability to shoot 1080p (obviously, lower in RAW).
Thanks,
Nick
