  Anyone who spends their hard-earned based on a rumour is truly a twit.

I think you should not look not only about your needs but the needs of other photographers to critisize the DSLR form factor Andrew. You do mostly street photography and the small light form factor is really suited to that like the leica's. But if you look at the main criticism from Nikon users on forums is that it does not follow the D700 lineage (It is more like a D600+) of a full pro body, which means a ........... bigger body. If ever tomorrow you shoot a long event or a 12 hour wedding then you will understand why photographers want those bigger body, even adding a battery grip making it even heavier. Try holding those small for factor cameras for hours and you will see why. I also not prepared to let go of the 100% OVF for something like an EVF until the latter surpasses it, which is not the case until now for my pro photography. The second thing is about the good enough philosophy about video. If you think that this quality is not good enought for 99% of work . Then I would like to see tens or hundred of videos done on panasonic/sony and even blackmagic camera that are miles ahead of this video. The D810 has been measured at more than 800 lines, which would compare favourably to cameras like Canon C300/gh2 etc. Which are known to produce very good imagery in Cinema screen size projection. Since the D5200 Nikon has been producing cameras that are Moire/aliasing free. They must have been sampling much more pixel and binning them and they have even done the feat of doing it with the 36 megapixel D810 . You can also add the 12 stop of DR and low light that are very close to the 5dmark 3 in low end $ 700 D5200/5300 in low light. When you add all those thing you are getting with no added cost to a typical photography dslr, I don't see why I should fork more money as a hybrid user and buy some other video camera. You can also add a $ 300 atomos recorder to get high quality propres bitrate out of it. I am not saying that I would not like more video functionality or for example a 10 bit codec but I think 4k and some of those thing will come in the next iteration of the D800 and D4 in 1.5 years. Since then, I think that we are getting a lot of video quality which we would have dreamt for only 2 years ago for free.

well it can mean just about anything that doenst look like video shot at f16

Coming soon: 128, 256, 512 GB Pro SD cards. http://www.sandisk.com/about-sandisk/press-room/press-releases/2014/sandisk-premieres-worlds-highest-capacity-sd-card-for-high-performance-video-and-photo-capture/

all of these are variations of an isco theme. unless one notices a patent pending logo that is. nothing new under the sun. this isco jacket sure looks nice very nice. john the recipe i gave you was from one of my destroyed iscoramas i cannot see why you mentioned me here mentioning a private email. not good no sir. anyway you are a mod staff here so i am sure you know and understand the ethics and rules better than me. whoever this guy is he looks like he done a sweet job yes sir and i bet it will be a good price yes sir. i am not an engineer but i sure likes pretty looking metal

  Indeed.   And Mr Troll above says he is doing me a favour to visit the site. I should be so grateful to him! ;)

BTW there is no paid for advertising on EOSHD - Andrew does this for the love of filmmaking .....not $$$ off advertisers ....look no banner ads here!

Shot entirely on a G6. Edit and grade in FCPX. Nikkor manual lenses and tilt transformer. See Vimeo description for details.

In a way it is just the same as it has always been - you do a shoot and until you get the data off the card it is at risk of failure. Whether it takes up 1mb or 1gb it is still either backed up or it isn't.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kodak-Telek-Lens-Series-6-VI-2-/121433118812?pt=Camera_Filters&hash=item1c45fa585c Give that a go. Teleks are no longer made but have varying negative powers.

I'm gonna go with a more general statement because I think once you define something too clearly, you start to lose your creativity, but in general, I think a viewer's state of mind is what defines "cinematic": If you know you're being told a story and your mental state is that of understanding you are watching a facsimile of reality, then I think it could be considered cinematic.

I've gone back and forth about this over the years. But i really think the most important things are aspect ratio and lighting. I used to think DOF, but not so much anymore.

I live in extreme south of Tuscany, where Caravaggio died! I've to study him a lot!!! :)

looking forward to mount it on my sankor 16D I only hope is not too expensive!!!

Beautiful if you want your accessories to look geeky, maybe. This is beauty (for a smartwatch):

Beter body, better AF, fraster framerates. Thats not marketing bullshit, but very welcomed by photographers. I agree that it probably won't be appealing for the video crowd, but that doesn't mean it's just 'bullshit'. I think this actually will be a nice balanced camera (speed - resolution) for photography. It should do 8 fps though (even if only with a grip), if it sticks to 6.5 fps like the D610 that'd be a shame. The Df, that is a D610 with extra marketing bullshit applied.

How the heck is he doing this? I can't wait to learn more.
