  1. ​My view too. I bought the 1DC when it first came out - I chomped down and bit the bullet and paid the premium. Even though the price has gone down, I have had a few years using it. With exchange rates, the difference will not be as steep. It takes time to understand how powerful this camera is. It is a lot better than most people realize. Like I have said in the past, when used properly, it is very close to matching film. Cheers.
  2. White Collar on the USA network and shown on Netflix is shot with the Sony CineAlta F35 with Zeiss Master Prime and Angenieux Optimo Lenses. Lot's of show shot with this baby. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_television_programs_shot_in_digital
  3. Glad you're enjoying your new toy. Lot's of fun lies ahead. I went through a lot of growing pains too. I'm still haven't hit puberty with the 1DC yet. Interesting discovery that you made with Premiere and the footage. Cheers.
  4. Welcome to the dark side. I'm still enjoying mine. It is a beast and the image quality still ranks. The 1DC does look like film especially if properly shot. Enjoy. Cheers.
  5. Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year. Cheers.

  10. Canon Cinema EOS Captures Space In 4K For New IMAX® 3D Film MELVILLE, N.Y., September 22, 2014 – Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is proud to announce that Canon Cinema EOS digital cameras and lenses have been selected by IMAX Corporation for an exciting mission to capture 4K footage in space. The cameras and lenses left Earth Saturday on a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft launched from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The equipment will arrive at the International Space Station, where astronauts will capture stunning 4K content for the upcoming new 3D film, tentatively titled A Perfect Planet, a presentation of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures and IMAX Entertainment. The IMAX production team selected Canon EOS C500 EF digital cinema cameras, Canon EOS 1D-C digital SLR cameras, and a selection of Canon Cinema Zoom and Prime lenses for the project. The EOS C500s will be paired with Codex recorders to capture 4K images.Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Toni Myers, the IMAX 3D space project will offer breathtaking, illuminating views of Earth from space, exploring mankind’s future on and off the planet. Renowned large format cinematographer James Neihouse serves as the film’s director of photography and trained the astronauts who will man the cameras while in orbit. “Of the digital cameras we tested for spaceflight, the Canon EOS C500’s image quality was more film-like than the other systems,†said Neihouse. “The sharpness is superior to some of the larger sensors. And it is more user-friendly for the astronauts. We have a good track record with Canon cameras in space.†“I am thrilled that the Canon Cinema EOS cameras we have selected launched to the International Space Station and our astronaut crews can now begin filming spectacular scenes for our new project,†said Toni Myers, who will produce, direct, write and edit the documentary film. “The lightweight, flexible Canon cameras produce remarkable imagery and are ideal for capturing scenes of our beautiful Planet Earth. “When we launched the Cinema EOS product line, Canon hoped to inspire filmmakers to take their craft to new heights. We are honored that IMAX, Toni Myers, James Neihouse, and the astronauts took our challenge so literally. To have our cameras and lenses travel to space is an incredible cause for celebration. We look forward to this awe-inspiring film and pledge to continue to engineer products worthy of the next frontier-whether here on Earth or among the stars,†said Yuichi Ishizuka, president and COO, Canon U.S.A., Inc. IMAX’s 3D film will be shot over the course of the next year with multiple crews of astronauts conducting principal photography. The film is tentatively set for release in early 2016.
