Makes me want to get one. My buddy who is an owner of a Sony camcorder says Sony stuff can be an expensive proposition. I looked at some of those accessories and lenses and agreed.

UK's debts 'biggest in the world' [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-15820601]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-15820601[/url] Mind you, our debt is equal to our GDP, but you guys (like us) are not in good shape by a long shot. I'm not going to get into an argument on capitalism versus socialist models of film funding. Our system is obviously financially healthier - I mean different than yours. Good filmmakers can still make movies here without government funding.

That 4K camera is probably out of my price range +4k. I love that Gh2 image, but I really don't want to invest a lot of money in mirco four thirds, when what I really want is that new full frame Mark III. Still on the fence.

I hope it starts a trend. If only to see all those Scarlet owners squirm.

I think most important thing is to first figure out what kind of filmmaker you are before you figure out which camera you like best. [/quote] Michael Bay! I kidd.

Is there anything you people don't give government money to? This is not to stand judgement over you (because my country spends like no tomorrow as well), but your country is in pretty bad financial shape. The little I know of Cameron comes from the media here decrying European austerity, but he seems to be looking at the British film industry much like Hollywood does. I know everyone decries Hollywood's lack of taking chances, but due to "pay or play" contracts, people would rather take a chance with something safe, rather than something untried. Sequels and remakes still seem to make money. The King's speech was a pretty good film.

[quote author=Glenn Thomas link=topic=173.msg1279#msg1279 date=1326650965] The gear is clearly not that important anymore, and judging by a lot of videos I see, a lot of people using expensive gear still don't look as if they know what they're doing. I think people just need to get away from all the camera blogs and focus on shooting and editing video. For those who already own a half decent camera or even something really cheap, my advice would be to stick with that and master it before even thinking about upgrading. Be creative, and instead of wasting time on camera blogs comparing specs, use that time to practice up on shooting, colour grading and editing. Or even script writing. For over a year now I've been shooting all my videos on a Canon S95, and I'm still using it. Having shot roughly 18 music videos on it, one of which has had over 150k plays on YouTube. Every now and then I'll think about upgrading to something better, but instead I always end up just shooting more videos on the S95. None of my clients even question the camera anymore. [/quote] Holy shit! Nice stuff mate.

I see technically astute tech demos all the time. You wonder what kind of stuff these people could produce if they bothered to invest in a writer.

I thought you could max the 2011s at 16 gb ram. My MacbookPro is starting to make some clinking sounds when I put pressure on the area below the keyboard. Any idea what i causing this?

Shame. Strong competition is good for the consumer.

Let's hope someone comes out with a tutorial.

People are sure in a hurry to dump on this camera.

[quote author=Andrew Reid - EOSHD link=topic=112.msg983#msg983 date=1325290268] 4K for the masses is coming, it won't be such a niche in future years. Manufacturers need a way to sell new TVs and cameras. 3D worked in doing this to a degree. 4K is the next logical step. When there is a DSLR doing 4K for $3k, suddenly dropping $20k on a large sensor camcorder doesn't really appeal does it? [/quote] I was referring to camcorders in the range of the Af100 and Fs100. 4K isn't must have for me at the moment unless they can get it close to Mark III price.

4K for the masses? 3k+, you might as well buy a large sensor camcorder ( unless form factor is a must) in my opinion. Maybe the RED people with poor credit will flock to it - I kid.

I guess it would be worth it if you needed an extra body. I'll be making  purchase next year. I don't see the point in buying now, when superior tech is already out, or just around the corner.

They will likely save the ND filter for the AF100 replacement. I'm assuming they won't repeat having their DSLR show up their camcorder in terms of video quality.
