because they would be antagonising their own products. with all the expertise and quality if they do make another camera in 4k they would be shooting themselves in the leg. i was in MWC2015 last week and went to see the broadcasting media area, they were using Canon Cseries everywhere to broadcast live (example cnn booth,) and other channels, I havent seen more Cseries gathered in one spot. iI mean people were running around to cover this massive congress, and they would bennefit from a smaller camera, but canon cannot price it at 10.000+ so even if they come out with one, it will have some major made up deficiencies to justify the high cost of the other ones. half the attendands in the congress where holding canon dslrs. This was a techie corporate crowd so not the average joes, but i guess these are the people that have the money to buy a bulky mark3 for tourist pictures.

Dog Schidt Optiks Flare Factory 58 (PL Mount) Review
Christina Ava replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
hey guys i have my beautiful DSO and i love the brand, and its unique style lenses. i also love the fact that the lens is made by people that love the art themselves and not by some big corp. i used it in weddings i used it to take pics of my family both for photography and video. very distinct style. if i had money i would buy one of each tint and style. -
Guys this is obviously a camera designed for women, small lightweight....ah EF mount! ah ah ah

Fellow co-forumites, I am one step from getting this book, David Samuelson's "hands-on" Manual for Cinematographers Third Edition Paperback – March 4, 2011 Any owners out there that have benefitted from reading this?Its 400 pages long and superexpensive for me. i found a used one at 170 euros and its not the latest edition, The old editions are cheap but probably outdated. do you recommend? "The "Hands On" Manual for Cinematographers contains a wealth of information, theory, diagrams and tables on all aspects of cinematography. Widely recognised as the "Cinematographer's Bible" the book is organised in a unique manner for easy reference on location, and remains an essential component of the cameraman's box." thank you

Canon blocking Magic Lantern on latest 5D Mark III bodies
Christina Ava replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
if you see any petition to keep ML running i will sign it, we can collectively send mails to canon, dont underestimate the power of nagging i guess my mark3 just got some extra value. -
my favorite pancacke 40mm 2.0 a little jem. few people own it, but you can find it in ebay i got mine for 300 dollars http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/885407-REG/Voigtlander_ba229e_40mm_f_2_0_Ultron_SL.html check the reviews here UNBELIEVABLE FOR VIDEO By davidjewels from Miami, FL About Me Pro Photographer So I wanted a lens that helped me reduce the overall size of the Canon 1Dx and decided to choose a pancake lens: namely the Voightlander 40mm f2.0 Ultron. Normally for video I usually take along at least 5 of my Canon primes and I'm forced to use a backpack. Not with the Voightlander! This lens is so amazing, that after a few test videos, where I stood at varying distances from my subject, I realized that it was able to fill the needs of all my other lenses and there was ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION even when I got real up and close to the subject. The focus ring is pure heaven to use. And the sharpness is TACK SHARP, so sharp that you might cut your eyes after seeing the video you have shot!!! For stills, just like some of the other reviewers have mentioned, after a little practice you get the hang of it. The lens has focus confirmation blips that light up to confirm focus anyways, and if you magnify the image with the camera you can dial in the PRECISE focus and then take the shot. Obviously it's not going to be as fast as an autofocus lens, but you will get the hang of it eventually: I bought it for video. The construction of the lens is SOLID. It's a very beautiful jewel of a lens to look and hold too.

nikon is the photographers camera, i wouldn't find it peculiar to match the 1dx.

also inspiring... "Hands of Bresson" depicts the way robert bresson films peoples hands...pure poetry in motion.

Canon 1D C vs Sony A7S 4K - dynamic range - preview
Christina Ava replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
I love that you have the nikon there, as a lab animal -
sometimes a great director comes up from nowhere, watch this movie shot with anamorphic zeiss lenses killer scenario killer images makes you want to go out and shoot
-
yes its just you. if you owned it and used it you would understand the beauty of this camera. at almost half price, its a bargain, and they are so good, that you rarely find any good used ones. This camera is no mistake. Its top quality photo/video magic all in one, the flagship of 80 years of canon camera tech... yes good things are coming from canon, but this camera is future-proof. love c.

What Lenses Would Match Well With Sigma ART Lenses
Christina Ava replied to miketurner's topic in Cameras
hi everything from canon, the sigma where made to appeal to canon users, so they tried to match the L series the one you have is even better than the 35mm canon equivalent! i have used both. -
that guy is so talented, i cant get over his performance on "brick", the film looks like...very bad coloring, dont like it. 0:22 what is that?terrible 0:36? 1:41 everything burned out..,generaly the blacks and whites don't look good. yellow person at 0:51 generally looks like its was shot with a phone. the story is interesting, but could be better with another camera this does not advertise the image quality of nex, but i think its due to the post processing/grading. someone tampered with the image, and not in a good way my humble opinion

My videography business promotional film: feedback please!
Christina Ava replied to a topic in Cameras
bravo matt! i love the idea and the words and the imagery now for the bashing 1. put your best shots at the first minute of the clip (04:06 for example) 2. make a shorter version 2 minutes 3. i dont like the people talking, i would omit them (or just keep their voices without their faces, to put what goes on and shorten it) 4. music is good at the beginning but then its too melancholic, (for commercial reasons it needs to get more upbeat) 5. i know you are in the UK, put more sunlight in (some golden hour shots in there) its very blue, and cold tones tend to make us pull away again im talking business! <3 christina p.s. dont hate me! i am just saying these with love -
very good! almost feeling like a sci-fi film...great choice in soundtrack

Updated Panasonic CM1 review and gallery (final part and conclusion)
Christina Ava replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
the styling i would say 40%...this is a really ugly design, what were they thinking?it looks like a bulldozer run over a camera.. chunky and uneven the camera pops out too much, and looks sensitive to damage as it protrudes, also the stealth.... i love how i can snap photos with my iphone like James Bond! the quality of the pictures is very good, but too expensive, i d rather the iphone.
