Wow these are expensive. Why not look into the voyagers or quasar tubes? I understand these are more portable but damn thats pricey.
Wow how useless is this? I wish my equipment lists were that simple. It would have been awesome to have some kind of interactive app. Maybe a drop down menu where we could place specific items under each category.
Here is a full video that should be added to the article.
Im more than happy with the specs listed here. I did shoot strictly on DSLR's for years but that time has passed. They created a great image for a great price and the footage was good enough to land itself on broadcast and even the big screen. But in all honesty when it comes down to shooting a production it just makes since to get into a "real" production camera. You end up spending so much money on getting your DSLR production ready it just makes more sense to purchase a C100, FS5, BM Ursa, or something else comparable.
I will be purchasing the 5D because its my all time favorite camera. No not because the video is the best thing on the planet but because the pictures and reliability of the camera are amazing. Plus my 5D mark ii has seen better days...
You can beat the living hell out of a 5D and never have any issues!
If it finds itself next to my C300 MKii for interviews so be it. Treat this camera as a B or C cam for video production houses, and an amazing stills camera for professional and novice photographers alike.
If you plan on shooting an indie film pick up a Sony they're cheap and barely need any light. Don't beat up on Canon when you have so many options from other manufacturers.
At the end of the day get out and shoot the damn thing!
I dont understand. Is the HDR slider on their devices actually changing the recorded exposure on the image? Or is it just for viewing purposes to nail exposure?
This would be killer on the ursa mini pro.
