My temporary rig...

Oh Cannon... Revenge of the Ninja... Gotta love Sho Kosugi. Also loved Chuck Norris in The Octagon.

Was that shot with IBIS? If so... Damn. If not... Damn that's a nice image for such at tiny camera.

So, I received my Micro today and only had about a half hour to rig it up and hit record a few times. I shot the footage in ProRes XQ and then brought it directly into the standalone version of FilmConvert to have a look. Well, the footage looks great. But when I hit the zoom function, at the bottom of the frame, there are dancing, vertical lines, but I can only see it while in zoom function, and it does not show when I am playing the footage full screen on my monitor in FCPX? Any ideas?

@kidzrevil Here's a grab from the G7 with Voigtlander. I think I shot that natural with -2 contrast, -5 sharpness, -5 nr, -3 saturation. Graded with FilmConvert

I don't know... Am not really sure why people expect so much from Canon? How many times do you have to get rained on before you bring an umbrella? I mean... They have outright said they are delineating their camera lines. They have outright said their issue with 4K was solving the overheating issues. But one thing is for sure, when they do have all the bells and whistles that Sony cameras have... They will work.

Yeah, a wide angle lens, set to infinity will probably give the best results. I would imagine pans would be best with you feet planted and your elbows glued to your side... Then just twist your waist as opposed to moving your arms.

How about the D500? That Nikon Flat profile is awesome. I love my G7 but I also need 60p for an upcoming project I am working on, so that's why I ordered the BMMCC today. I am very excited to shoot natively in ProRes or Raw without any picture profiles to worry about or convoluted menus to navigate.

Okay, gotcha. That seemed like too sweet of a deal for it to come with the full version. You got a nice price for it though... Good on you!

Does it come with a Resolve 12 dongle? The specs on the site says it does, but it isn't mentioned on B&H's site.

I, for one, cannot wait to not have to worry about picture profiles. I look forward to the lack of a cluttered menu.

Thanks @Zak Forsman. That makes perfect sense.

I just picked up a "new" without the box Ikan VL5e for $100. It came in the mail yesterday and everything was perfect with it. I think they may have another one.

Thanks Axel. Interesting. Honestly, I will probably start with ProRes LT, to get a feel of the camera and the workflow, and then I'll work my way up.

Is that a Raw photo or a screengrab? Either way, it's wicked!!!

@Zak Forsman was that the 18-35mm? Also, excuse my ignorance, but I noticed you wrote this was shot with 59.97 fps, but the Micro has straight 60 fps, is it better to shoot with the 59.97 fps for a specific reason... Same goes for 23.97 as opposed to 24 fps? Also, when shooting 60p(59.97) for slow motion, would you still leave the shutter at 180?

So you can't just double tap the screen again, while recording, for magnification to reappear?

Man, that looks amazing. The DR is just incredible. This IQ and slow motion is the exact reason why I am selling almost every lens and camera I own to get one.

That's pretty impressive. Thanks for the heads up... It's in my cart.

@John Emery nice finds! Those little USB chargers look excellent. How many batteries can you charge with portable charger fully charged?

Thanks @Zak Forsman good to hear the Wasabi's work well. My goal with the BMMCC is to create the smallest, cheapest footprint possible, so your tips are priceless.

So, I'm slowly collecting the peripherals needed to shoot with the BMMCC. So far, I have lenses, a cage coming in the mail, a 5" monitor, a theory for a good way to mount it, and SD cards. My monitor takes the same batteries as the camera, but I'd rather not shell out the 60 bucks for the official Canon batteries. So I was wondering what aftermarket batteries everyone is using with the Micro? I saw a decent deal on Amazon for the Wasabi batteries but I have read some mixed reviews over the years about their quality control.

I liked the feel of the video and the romantic way you captured the subject, but I think it could have been nice to see the band playing in the background, as street performers, as you followed your subjects. With that being said... It still is quite beautiful and successful as is.

Didn't know you had a Pocket. Very cool combo. Looking forward to some footage.

What lenses did you use in this video? It was nice to see your use of available light and how well the camera handled the low light. Good job.
