  1. I wish olympus would just fix the video mode on the OMD. It could be such a perfect camera for me
  2. Very nice photography Andrew. Thanks for sharing. 
  3.   Yeah...seems similar to the 6D release. I'm hoping its fixed. If its not, I won't buy it
  4. As a photographer and 5d3 user this camera really does excite me. I shot a wedding today and using the t2i as a B-cam really is becoming a burden. As long as moire is fixed and we see the same high ISO improvements I think I'll definitely be picking this up. Paired with the new Sigma 1.8 zoom or comparable fast zoom, and it could be a great documentary solution as Andrew mentioned

    Canon 70D coming...

    wireless speetlite transmitter is a cool feature. Video autofocus seems much improved which is great for wedding shooters like me

    there you have it    http://fstoppers.com/canon-announces-the-new-eos-70d-equipped-with-a-dual-pixel-sensor
  7. I normally don't get upset over these kinds of things but the lack of 24p in my RX100 really peeves me. I feel like it should easily be offered as a free firmware update. Certainly shouldn't have to pay $100 difference for it.    I feel better now having complained to you all :) 
  8.     I found this trailer much more enjoyable than the short film in the original topic.    Also, why does everyone keep capitalizing raw?

    won't be a huge step up in image quality I bet. 10 bucks say it still has moire aliasing. (i hope i'm wrong though)
  10. Seems like a no brainer, and yet, it doesn't exist! As a documentary shooter the idea of raw is just awful to me, but more color information in h.264 would be so welcome
  11. looks like they've fixed just about everything with the RX100! Think i'll be listing mine on ebay and picking this up as soon as it comes out
  12. Hey folks. I am a huge fan of the saying "limitations breed creativity" so I shot a 45 second short on my iPhone.  Nothing serious here, but a good exercize in planning shots and editing. Hope you enjoy    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9U6AtMPsmw  
  13. The pocket cam has been advertised with raw since the day it was announced. 
  14. This looks terrible....Aston Kutcher? really?
  15. Could you post a few examples of your footage? We really have no idea of what you're talking about or how to help you unless we can see the footage. 
  16. You can knock a lot of junk out of the image by getting closer to your subject and using a wider aperture so that less in focus. At that distance at 5.6 everything is going to be in focus, which the 600d doesn't do well. I think better composition is a huge part of what you're missing.    You only posted 2 very short clips so its hard to judge by that, but thats really what comes to mind when watching them.
  17.   It will be sharper if you film it in 1080
  18. This is just plain cool. I've used the RX100 for similar tasks (YouTube celebrities generally) and they always ask "is that good enough" in some manner. Good stuff
  19. Make sure to turn down in camera sharpening on the picture profile you use if you haven't already. That will help a lot with moire
  20. Port Melbourne, says the ad. A bit far from me
  21. Now THAT is cool. I'd love to try this thing out
  22. I would also say that a steadicam is probably not necessary off the bat, I find myself never wanting to deal with it. If you have 2 shooters it can be a nice 2nd option. I use a slider a lot throughout the day and find that it is more useful for capturing the details and setting of a wedding. Just my personal preference though!
  23. I think the 5D2 is a good choice, but would really advise a 2 camera setup if you can manage that. I use the 5D3 and a t2i. Having the 5D3 is helpful as it gets passed the pesky 12 minute time limit, so during the ceremony I usually have it set up on a tripod while I capture close ups and details on my t2i. I occasionally use the RX100 as the camcorder instead though it can have problems with heat. I would absolutely suggest zoom lenses. A 24-70 and 70-200 would cover everything, though that's a hefty investment. I have been renting the telephoto for most weddings. Additionally a fast 50/85 and maybe a macro lens for small details are something I would suggest. For audio, I would strongly suggest buying 2-3 cheap portable recorders. A couple zoom H1s or smaller tascams. Some are small enough to fit into a shirt pocket which is great for recording vows. If the vows and pastor are micd, I always just stick a recorder in front of the house speakers. Having a shotgun mic straight into the camera is nice for interviews but not a great option for everything you'll need to get at the wedding
