smon222 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Its a damn shame we have to do this to our $3500 cameras to get proper resolution. Canon should offer to do the service for us. Canon -> SHAME SHAME on you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameraboy Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 wow ... much better ... what kind of ir filter did u use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted April 22, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted April 22, 2012 No IR-cut filter used on this clip. Still deciding which ones to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlev23 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 i dont know, maybe you should of shot a nicely lit interior. what you showed looks like overly sharp news footage, like how the GH2 reacts to exteriors. i much prefer a slight softness and cinematic gradation from highlights, like the quality the alexa and the 5DMK3 both have. almost looks like you shot it at 30fps with a 1/60 of a shutter or something. i just did a shoot with the alexa, 5DMK3 and a GH2. the GH2 stuck out like a sore thumb, the alexa and 5D were almost a match without any post being done. i guess it all depends what you are using the camera for, but id sure hate to have to shoot through IR filters all the time!

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted April 22, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted April 22, 2012 Geeez some people are never happy. $600 camera sticks out vs $50,000 one? Wow what great detective work you've done there, please email me as I have an assignment for you to find the mythical pyramids of Egypt. Do they exist?

cameraboy Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 http://www.amazon.com/58mm-Cut-Multi-Resistant-Coating-486M/dp/B0012LYHUK goes little to the red but not in IR ... what i see from photo forums its good with custom WB... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene_can_sing Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Thanks for risking your camera for the community. You got balls! I was wondering if you could just replace the removed OLP filter with an IR-cut filter INTERNALLY. Just swap between the two, that way you won't need an additional external filter on the lens. This is a great work around. Thanks for taking this risk. But at this point, I think I'm just going to go the Sony route. Too many work around to make the 5D3 worth while, and that's also hoping that Magic Lantern will work :( Yes, Canon SUCKS big time. On the plus side, the D-800 have received much better overall reviews that the 5D3 and is selling a lot better because of it. Sony video is about to destroy Canon's over-priced, under spec'd video offerings. So maybe Canon will finally get the much needed wake up call.

[/quote] sorry that you misunderstand, i was saying that in relation to the footage you are posting, its looking and feeling more like gh2 now, so being worried that if i do that to my 5DMK3 it would also stick out like a sore thumb. and yes the pyramids do exist, ive seen them on a history channel documentary :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameraboy Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 CANON is testing brand loyalty to the max .... they use all that free marketing delivered by DSLR users to sell their products for crazy high prices... and of course they fail same as SONY did..... but thats good ,after that they gives as what we want for reasonable price....

smon222 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 BTW... Thanks Andrew for the nice gratuitous butt shot walking through the frame. Enjoyed it! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastFisher Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 That looks awesome Andrew !!! I am so glad you are going to do a side by side comparison. When you do your AA VS NoAA test, please tell us how it changes on the still photography side as well. More details? more dynamic range? etc... I can't wait. :) Thanks again Andrew.

rommex Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 [quote][size=14pt]This video cannot be downloaded anymore today.[/size] [/quote] :P Anyway, Andrew thanks for this experimaent. BTW, did you notice any effective increase in ISO without the filter? It should have been in place, I believe. Since I also don't believe Canon will release any firmware upgrade to enhance output quality of video, I guess my best move would be selling my 7D right away, picking up a second-hand 550D and smashing it with Magic Lantern to the fullest, meanwhile waiting for the BMD camera. BMD cinema camera seems overwhelming in terms of specs / cost ratio. Though I'm worried by some skin rendering artifacts shown here: http://johnbrawley.wordpress.com/2012/04/19/another-blackmagic-clip/ (look at neck and shoulder of the lady). I guess 'a mere capturing device' might take some more than a sensor and a lens mount. Hope they will handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giovanni Bertani Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Something from CNET written quiet exactly on the culture behind Canon 5D Mk3 Sony's slow but sure descent is also about Japan's obsession with doing things the Japanese way, even if it's the wrong way, says CNET's Brooke Crothers.

jcs Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Bill DePalma removed both OLPFs and had the glass replaced and dust system replicated (via Maxmax.com): https://vimeo.com/40789276 Andrew- you removed only one OLPF and did not add replacement glass (nor re-attached the dust system)? Still curious if the software changes behavior with the dust system connector removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But assuming "the seeds of Japan's technological-industrial undoing" he believe he witnessed at the time are the only cause for Japan tech-companies misfortune is pretentious and outdated. Like there couldn't be any other factor involved during the last 20 years ?! Anyway, this is the type of "cliché" i see countless time on cheap documentaries and poor analysis about the so called "Japanese society". People like to hang to those packaged theories about Japan as a static traditional society, it reassure them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
