[quote name='Fergutor' timestamp='1348191415' post='18780'] Hello. For the ones that missed this: (All by [url="https://vimeo.com/user2551722"]Dieter Knüttel[/url]) [b] [size=3]GH3 - 1080 25p 72 Mbps 1600 ISO MOV: [url="https://vimeo.com/49850143"]https://vimeo.com/49850143[/url][/size][/b] [/quote] Whether the initial part or the final - most likely the final - shot has the correct exposure, the details that the camera can retain in the wronng exposure is pretty impressive. If you would say that the final exposure was the correct one, the way the beginning looked well illuminated and with decent details for the amount of darkness it really was, I think the camera can hold pretty well and it shows the DR it has.

I've been really struggling with this choice over the last month. I'm going travelling for a year and want a small but high quality camera to take with me. I take a lot of video, it's literally a function I use every day. I know I will be filming and editing a lot while I'm traveling. I'm hoping that those experienced in video will be able to make my choice easier by recommending one over the other. So, for someone who uses video a lot and does want high quality, the OM-D or a NEX camera?

I use Schneiders alot and this is the best one you can get [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230854348748?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230854348748?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649[/url] stunning super sharp glass (like Canon L series glass) Very smooth ' like butter' focusing ring...... very easy to use This lens is as good as any Panavision 35mm cine lens optically its is less than 3 years old and superb modern ultra sharp glass here is the Schneider on my Tecnoir Cinema Rig [img]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e307/blackmore1/IMG_0011.jpg[/img]

[quote name='MaxAperture Films' timestamp='1348313715' post='18893'] Looks like the greenish cast is just as bad if not worse on the Genesis BTS video (shot on GH2) [media]http://vimeo.com/49500954[/media] between 1:06 and 1:09. Has to be either the ambient light or a similar white balance issue. [/quote] I'm seeing a LOT of that icky yellow/green cast in other GH3 foootage around. I think there will be an intresting opportunity for anyone that wants to do a side by side comparo of the GH2/GH3/and another camera, so as to ferret out which modes are spitting out that horrid cast. With the 4:2:0 constraint, I'd hate to deal with pulling that particular cast out of all my footage in post.

I posted these images to a topic in the anamorphic forum, since it's an additional example of adding grain in post to enhance DSLR video but perhaps even more important is I did not apply any form of traditional sharpening kernal to achieve the improvements in clarity you see here for this Canon 7D footage. Here are some examples from my most recent project, showing 7D before and after (de-moire, mild tone-mapping for sharpening, simulated high-speed grain from AE, MagicBullet grading)...

Anyway, as I said, I used a tone-mapping technique on the luminance channel only.  You'll see that I wasn't pushing the technique so far as to go for its pseudo-HDR look.  This method not only provides sharpening with a much higher threshold for false-edging than traditional sharpening but by processing the chroma separately and then re-combining it with the luminance channel I'm able to also do chroma-smoothing/de-moire.

Does anyone have any experience incorporating a 15mm rod system into the Velbon SPT-1 without getting too bulky or too expensive?

[quote name='TC' timestamp='1348190972' post='18779'] One last thing. Blackmagic have stated in interviews that after they announced their camera, they were contacted by other sensor manufacturers who wanted to sell sensors. You can bet the sales reps at those companies weren't just picking up the phone to Blackmagic. All you need now to produce a video camera is a sensor, processing chip, screen and lens mount. All pretty commoditised these days. Blackmagic will be the first of many companies that have never made a camera who enter this market. [/quote] In theory, this may be true, but in practice it hasn't proved so easy. Blackmagic Design already had a proven track record with much of the technology used in its camera, but even BMD's been experiencing issues, particularly in the supply chain. And as we've learned from the history of the Red Scarlet, timing is everything. The apparent excitement over the BMC has affirmed the viability of Red's original, nonmodular design, which, if Red had released it in 2009 as planned, would now be three years old. It would have undoubtedly gone through at least one update. And there would have been no reason for BMD to develop the BMC as currently specced. If BMD falls six or eight months behind, who knows, some other company may release a better-specced camera and preempt the BMC.

Guess I'm keeping my two highly beloved GH2's and stay content :P
