Third Party Manufacturers / Re: Sigma Announces Three New Lenses: 35 f/1.4, 17-70 f/2.8-4.0 OS & 120-300 f/2.8 OS

I've been eyeing the 120-300 for quite some time, but have been nervous about focus performance compared to the Canon 300 2.8. Anyone used the previous Sigma 120-300? How does it perform? This new version could be very tempting for football season...

EOS Bodies - For Video / Re: First Canon EOS C100 Short Hits the Web

I really wanted to like this video, but you have to have some story in mind first, not just a random sequence of clips with shallow DOF and people screaming "whoo-hoo" in different locations. What happened to story telling? Video has become all about showcasing steadicams, underwater casings, and suction cups. Yes, footage looks great, but I lost brain cells watching this (Maybe Neuro can help me get them back? :-))

They should just give all these promo projects to Vincent Laforet. Or at least the guy who shot Rebecca Black's "Friday" :-)

It's intended to be a product demo, not a creative masterpiece.

I have to say, I really don't understand the mirrorless DSLR concept. Who buys these things?

Also - is there a reason why Canon does not offer 720 at 30p video on any of their cameras? I don't need 1080, but I don't want 60p for some shots. Plus I would think you can shoot more on a card at 720/30.
