Third Party Manufacturers / nikon d800 video recording sensor size is smaller than 5D???

« on: May 02, 2012, 07:32:35 AM »

according to kenrockwell D800 '' Video only uses a central 32.8 x 18.4mm section of the sensor, at most.''
but 5D utilizes 36X20.3mm.

why haven't nikon tell this before....?

EOS Bodies / C 300 is not an alternative to 35mm motion picture film.

« on: January 02, 2012, 04:23:24 PM »

72DB gain in image process is an advancement. but it only shoots 8 bit MPEG-2 422 and 50 Mbps!!!!!?
canon advertise it as a viable alternative to 35mm motion film. Dream it canon.

we expect RAW on board with 10bit 444 recording for the price range 16,000$.
not silly marketing tricks..

EOS Bodies / Why is the c 300 sensor is not Full Frame (24 x 36 mm)?

« on: December 07, 2011, 02:17:34 AM »

''The EOS C300 conforms to the industry standard Super 35mm Motion Picture Film frame size. Almost all PL Mount motion picture lenses are designed to cover Super 35-size film or digital sensors, and tend to vignette heavily on Full Frame sensors since they are not designed to cover that frame size. The EOS C300 PL is compatible with all PL mount cinema lenses that were manufactured with Super 35mm in mind, allowing the cinematographer to match the same angle-of-view as when working with a motion picture film camera.''

So the canon should have made two versions EF with full frame, PL with the conventional format. then we would have an option about the people who invested in canon pro lenses and used to the full frame depth of field.

Lenses / canon is not for poor film makers anymore! 47,000$??!!!

« on: November 04, 2011, 02:50:34 PM »

CN-E14.5-60mm T2.6 L S (EF mount) lens for 45,000 to 47,000$ each?
what did happened to you, canon?, I waited for an year to see better cam than 5d, in an affordable range!
but finally what we have is FULL HD cam for estimated 20,000$ price range!!

I laugh at myself for being poor.

Canon General / Shooting video at 48fps

« on: September 25, 2011, 12:08:45 AM »

Hello everyone,

Soon, we r shooting with redMX for a short film which has lengthy dialogues.
our major concern is with a new idea of shooting in 48fps..
few questions raise on the way, are 1)how to sync audio(speaking slowly or fix it in post)?
                                                                 2) does the projection out put has to be on same frames count(48fps out put)?
alos we have a chance to transfer on to 35fillm to project the finale.

thanks indeed.

(sorry its not about canon, but will be using canon glass)
