SleepyWill Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Yeah I think Philip Bloom beat you too it with that joke a while ago ... Unfortunately user Wibblewobbles on the Rockpapershotgun blog beat you to pointing out that I had said something that had been said before on the internet by some years. FYI, bluetack works. Maybe PB spied me using it successfully, as I have been for years ;) I do spend a lot of time filming in Brighton and London Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I've been using blutack for years too man. I was using it in the 80's when I was a kid. Don't tell me about blutak man. There ain't nothing I don't know about that stuff. I'm the f'ing blutack king. I've even blutacked your mother ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelaxstudio Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 It seems we'll know soon enough is Canon is ready to respond. http://www.canonrumors.com/2014/07/canon-to-make-a-big-splash-at-photokina-cr2/ Depending on whether or not the announcements are a disappointment and if that new sensor tech is really "revolutionary" we may see Canon repeating the cycle again... or not. DSLRs are already out of date for videography,and canon cameras always have overheat issues which make 4K video and high framerate became impossible，check out the C500，then you will understand Do you actually think that canon will deliver a dslr under the price of 3000$ that can do 4K video which the cinema cam C300 doesn't provide? Come on ~The manufacturers are not playing their game in this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandro Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 I really don't understand why there is a lot of people still moaning about canon not releasing new cameras. There are so many other brands that did just that and are great, why do people always use canon cameras as a comparison. Or why are people always asking " Oh why canon, why? Why aren't you listening to me?". Get over it. My biggest problem is lenses. With Canon I can get a 10-18mm for €250 , 50mm 1.8m for €80. Now say how much would it cost to get the same FOV and light on m43 sensor? Or on a Sony-E mount? The sony version of the 50mm 1.8 costs €250 alone and I don't know about the quality, secondly the 10-18mm variant costs €800! So I would need to pay like 10 times for what I have now but with a good 1080p. Thus a good quality 1080p with cheap DSRL form Canon would fix my problems. Am I the only one?

On those two lenses you have a point and I also think the Canon lens range is the best overall for full frame, but the EF-S APS-C lenses... Hmmm. Not as much choice really. Good job there's a lot of third party manufacturers like Tokina and Sigma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex T Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I don't think Canon would release anything beyond the capabilities of the new Sony A7s. But this doesn't matter because we have the Sony A7s :) I'm sure there will be even better options in the near future too. Just keep your eyes peeled!

Bruno Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Do you actually think that canon will deliver a dslr under the price of 3000$ that can do 4K video which the cinema cam C300 doesn't provide? People/companies who shoot with the C300 don't do it just because of the added image quality, they do it because of the form factor, XLR inputs, decent preamps, etc, etc. Having 4K on a DSLR is not what would make them ditch the C300.

Please do not forget that 6 years ago,people did think that 5D mark II can't compete with DV cams ,because of its lack of many video-needed features (like what you mentioned as c300's advantages) But nowaday 5D series are being used in filming many different videography works,including cinema projects. The most important point is Image quality, always come the first to one's mind Canon know that well ,and that is why they only provide advance sampling for the C series ,while none of their DSLR or Mirrorless cameras get better sampling except line-skipping On the other hand, Sony and Panasonic do provide super advance sampling for their cheap DCs, like the RX10 GM1 G6 I think that Canon have to update their C series first,then comes a dslr using better sampling <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ebrahim Saadawi Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 It's not at all true that if Canon produced a DSLR with a good video image it would destroy the C line. The DSLR line in not in competition with the high-end camcorder line, and if Canon believes otherwise that's utterly stupid. I can assure you all that the C300 owners will not be trading their cameras for a 750D if they fixed moire, gave a little more detail, and better lowlight performance compared to a 700D, I am guessing Canon will give the next 7D a great 1080p image, and hope all APS-C users upgrade to that, then a year or more after, that image will trickle down to 750D/80D, and by that time C300/100 with 4K and/or 10bit will be existing. So I don't expect a sub-1000$ Canon APS-C to have a good image anytime soon. Get the A6000 with an EF adapter or a D5300 if you want a 600-700$ video camera.

Come on ~The manufacturers are not playing their game in this way. DSLRs are far from dead in videography. A7S and GH4 are two clear examples -though technically they are not DSLRs- of photo cameras designed with the videographer in mind. Having said that, I do not expect the 7DMkII to have 4K video, and I don't think anyone is. It MAY have a better codec (h.265), improved detail/moire/aliasing, some video features such as zebras and focus peaking, maybe even a headphone jack. But mostly it will have improved specs for stills. Keep in mind that the 7D is still Canon's flagship APS-C camera. That is the top of the line for professional sports and nature shooters, and it is almost 5 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelaxstudio Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 DSLRs are far from dead in videography. A7S and GH4 are two clear examples -though technically they are not DSLRs- of photo cameras designed with the videographer in mind. Most of the current cinema cameras and video camcorders are actually mirrorless cameras,they don't need OVF,they metering light on sensor. While Dslrs need a light metering sensor on top of the mirror to do so,and no matter how great their phase detection AF is ,it only works for stills Light metering sensorã€phase detection AF unitã€OVFã€mirror ，those parts of a dslr actuallly useless when shooting a video,but they take up 30-40% of a dslr's value, which meams 30-40% of your investments in dslr will be wasted if you are not using it for photography. And without those useless parts,they become mirrorless cameras , that is why GH4 and A7s make full use of their design,so they are better for videography not only because they provide great image quality but also there are not waste of videographers' money.

mtheory Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 All I want is 5D3 RAW with an S35 sensor. If MagicLantern brigade manages this with 7D2 by December it will be one hell of a Christmas this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
