[quote name='EOSHD' timestamp='1346532084' post='17116'] Why? [/quote] I'm using (mostly) L series Canon lenses, so then my 24 becomes a 55 (or so) and my 11-16 starts at 26 (or so) on the short end and every other lens I have pretty much becomes telephoto. S16 cine zoom lenses generally start at around 10mm and I'm in no mood to start having to shop around for more lenses. The lens I use the most, the 24-70, works well with a follow focus and mattebox so why screw it all up with an 11-16 that has maybe half the focus throw. This kind of issue is a major gripe I have with certain camera companies. When the 5DMKII was essentially the defacto camera of choice for 4 years (or so) running, why put (for example) an SD slot in a new camera when everyone has been using CF cards? Why release a new camera with a tiny sensor, even smaller than S35, when S35 is essentially the sensor size of choice and a great balance between too large and large enough (for cinema style footage)? I suppose you could slap a .6 lens on the fronts of whatever lenses you used on this thing, but then you're degrading the image. I wouldn't compare this thing to a full frame sensor camera, but when the norm is S35, this is an oddity, regardless of the great value of having the RAW capability. RAW isn't everything and it won't make anyone a better shooter or give anyone better footage.

The crop factor makes it unusable in my world, raw or not.

$3,000. + SSD = ?

Where'd the highlights go?

I suppose this means we'll see 10,000 more "anamorphic test" videos on Vimeo after this thing gets released?

Sure needs a lot of improvements for a camera that supposedly better than the 5D  :P

It'd be interesting to see how footage from the MKIII with OLPF removed compares to the MKII footage.

What a dramatic demonstration of just how soft the MKIII image is. I feel so much better about sticking with the MKII.

Depending on what external recorder you buy, you might end up being really close to the same cost to buy a used Red One. That's what I'm saying for what it's worth.
