[quote name='tomekk' timestamp='1351388350' post='20462'] Side note: I also hate that 5dMK3 is not true 1080p. I think canon should put BMCC quality into 5dmk3 body + great low light with FF sensor so I could get the perfect product (price wise: I'd eat current price of the 5dmk3. Although, if it was for 10$ then that would be awesome ;)). Yeah, it's a shame canon hasn't improved resolution since 5dmk2 and I absolutely hate it. I need FF for wide angles (dark, club shots, ppl dancing, not much space - any ideas ?) (I'm a newbie and was waiting for 5dmk3 and then they didn't deliver :((. I don't whine on a public forum, though, cause it's a waste of everyones time. [/quote] You started a "no whining thread" but whine yourself? So if I got my Freud right, your basically projecting your own shortcoming onto others. Dude, seriously get some help. And puberty is only the beginning, it gets worse, so fast my friend, dial that number...

Perhaps we need a "Beginners" forum?

Just seen the new Bond film Skyfall in 4k Sony Projection . It looks stunning image quality is amazing . Arri Alexa and Roger Deakin's Cinematography are a stunning combination! the film is very good too! great ending! It's worth seeing in 4k Projection [url="http://www.dcinematoday.com/dc/PR.aspx?newsID=3000"]http://www.dcinemato...spx?newsID=3000[/url] [b] ARRI hosts Roger Deakins, ASC, BSC, at IBC[/b] This year has seen an increased take-up of ARRIRAW recording for big-screen movies. Being unencrypted and uncompressed, ARRIRAW helps ARRI's software and postproduction partners to create the best possible 4K or IMAX deliverables; post houses such as ILM are praising the ARRIRAW workflow and the most respected cinematographers in the industry are testifying that ALEXA images look incredible on even the largest IMAX cinema screens. [img]http://i.ytimg.com/vi/24mTIE4D9JM/mqdefault.jpg[/img] [color=#606060]SKYFALL trailer[/color] ALEXA was the camera system chosen for the biggest film of 2012 so far - indeed the third highest grossing film of all time and the fastest ever to reach $500m in the U.S. - Marvel's THE AVENGERS. Cinematographer Seamus McGarvey, ASC, BSC, was so impressed by the functionality of the camera and the image performance of ARRIRAW on AVENGERS - his first digital movie - that he bought his own ALEXA. "The AVENGERS was my first feature film with the ALEXA," he notes. "I was really happy with our images. What was particularly impressive was how well it held up in IMAX theaters; this was a revelation to me." Roger Deakins, ASC, BSC Another ALEXA film to get the IMAX treatment, as well as a 4K DCP, is the next James Bond film, SKYFALL, directed by Sam Mendes and scheduled for release in November this year. Cinematographer Roger Deakins, ASC, BSC, comments, "On SKYFALL we are producing a 4K DCP from the ALEXA using ARRIRAW. It was only after I had chosen the ALEXA that IMAX projection became a consideration. Not to worry! The images I have seen in the IMAX theater are simply superb. The quality of the 4K image makes the usual IMAX 'enhancement' process totally unnecessary."

Very good. One thing I find distracting: He looks as if he not really sings. Either a bit out of synch, or, more probable, he didn't playback aloud. Looks fake. Loved the racing car shots.

Bait & Swtich. Oldest trick in the book.

it looks very sharp and crisp the image - its very well shot - Roger Deakins is very very good - he shot it all with spherical lenses Arri Master Primes [u]have a read of this [/u] [url="http://www.creativeplanetnetwork.com/dv/feature/skyfall-double-agents-data-recording-roger-deakins/60751"][u]http://www.creativeplanetnetwork.com/dv/feature/skyfall-double-agents-data-recording-roger-deakins/60751[/u][/url] [i]''A widescreen 2.40:1 aspect ratio frames the images, which were shot “flat” and extracted from the Alexa’s 16:9 sensor.

Lol You are taking life wayyyy to serious. How do you know that I don't already have money and the fact that I am content doing something I love to do more so than try and pinch every penny I can get out of somebody. Did you skip over the part where I mentioned "independent"? If I was hired by a company to do their video/editing task, they would be in charge of the greedy side of things. I can make my own price and my own hours, and by choice, I try to undercut the competition. I may get paid less, but more gigs, so compound that mr. Economics. You are trying to put me in the same category as a major corporation that is selling products by the millions, and is by far the dumbest post you have made yet. Does it really bother you THAT much that you can't control people's freedom of speech over the Internet? Do you not have anything better to do than pretend to sound smart and troll forums all day?

looks like it comes with free moire too ! please have a read of all the tests on it ......Im sticking with gh2

By the way. It's a forum.. Not everything posted here is supposed to be "constructive"... Sometimes people just like to talk shop, or talk shit about camera manufacturers. whether that progresses into a lucritive picture deal with Paramount is irrelevant.. So your point of view is just that... Your point of view. The buck doesn't stop there man.

Its not whining, just expressing disappointment! Most people are working on a tight budget & want the best bang for their buck, which is understandable. Having gone through the transition from Film, to SD digital & then HD, and having worked for small production companies to a massive giant like the BBC - there are a few things that became v.clear. These companies don't go out & buy the next new thing - they take the side of caution. In fact in most cases they hire out the equipment or the cameraman with the equipment. When TV went from SD to HD, none of the cameramen who were hired for the BBC went out & bought a new HD camera. The reason was that they needed to test stuff out first before investing (of course, their investment was for £30k & upwards). Again they were looking for the best bank for their buck - they moaned & moaned & moaned. Some of them took a year to decide which camera to buy & took the hit in camera rentals first. With DSLRs, a fluke revolution seemed in the offing for low budget filmmakers. It was a fluke & all these companies make high end cameras, so of course they want you to buy them. People have been banging on about the Black Magic & it looks great, but you know v.3 or v.4 will be the killer & not v.1! So why keep jumping ship for the next best thing? Its a false economy, unless you have cash burning a hole in your pocket & if you do, rent & test out your options (a few £100 vs. a few £1000). When i went from Film to SD, i couldn't believe the moire & aliasing - it really bugged me. You learn how to avoid it & if you really can't, no audience really cares or notices. The best advice (when i was starting out) i ever got from professionals was invest in good glass, as that will serve you for life! I shoot with a 60D & love it! Best of both worlds for the price - photos & video. Its also got the best hack in Magic Lantern, which will only get better & better. Soon i want to use a better camera, but i'm not buying one thats for sure, i'll rent one. I love the whining or should that be practical criticism! Its natural, healthy & lots of fun! It also shows there's a lot of passion out there from the low budget community & a need for more affordable/better cameras.

Hello everyone not sure this has been released yet so I took a couple of snapshots of the interesting parts of the gh3 user guide: [url="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/9argv"][img]http://www.freeimagehosting.net/t/9argv.jpg[/img][/url] [url="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/e3i28"][img]http://www.freeimagehosting.net/t/e3i28.jpg[/img][/url] [url="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/flybu"][img]http://www.freeimagehosting.net/t/flybu.jpg[/img][/url] [url="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/l1v1r"][img]http://www.freeimagehosting.net/t/l1v1r.jpg[/img][/url] [url="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/ipsgx"][img]http://www.freeimagehosting.net/t/ipsgx.jpg[/img][/url] [url="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/kb1wh"][img]http://www.freeimagehosting.net/t/kb1wh.jpg[/img][/url] [url="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/nul2e"][img]http://www.freeimagehosting.net/t/nul2e.jpg[/img][/url] [url="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/hb77w"][img]http://www.freeimagehosting.net/t/hb77w.jpg[/img][/url]

Yeah, I think they just wanted traffic into their site and channel. The final video has no value whatsoever as a test or comparison. Next please!

To tell you the truth, I don't see how this could be a "Game changer." if it did all that's it's claimed to do and sold for $3000 (hell, even %5000-$10,000) then yes, that would be a game changer. Will it be better then a Scarlet or C300? I'm sure it will but at $20,000 it had better be. And really, I think this just underscores the great challenge that the BMCC has cast out there into the industry. In my mind, a game changer would be one that offers high-end features at a lower price point, bringing pro features to people who would not normally be able to afford them. If you're going to call it a game changer and charge $20,000 for it, it had better have features that blow away the competition. To me, the only "Game changer" I've seen is the BMCC. Even with all it's flaws, lens mount, sensor size, internal battery, etc., it's still so much more compelling to me then any other camera out there right now because it does what no other camera can do at $3000 by a long shot.
