Canon to Offer Global Shutter for 2.5k Video on an Upcoming DSLR? [CR1]

[mkabi]

Then why use DSLR for video?? Just use a non DSLR video camera.

Have a nice day.

- I like full frame video.

- Best selection of fast and wide lenses for the money. (There are no 24mm f1.4 equivalent in APS-C for less than many, many thousands of dollars)
...
- Size/weight/flexibility in rigging.

- Now raw video in full frame. Impossible on any other camera. (for now)

The Canon Cx00 series can all use EF lenses/ For raw video, Canon has C-Log.

Rigging is much the same once you get truely serious.

Just so you know... Canon Cx00 series all have super 35mm, which is not full frame.
Might as well call it an APS-C equivalent...
And the price? For an APS-C equivalent camcorder is....

Re: FF video

who has full frame video as in I mean full pixel count its all down sampled. Full red I guess would rock...

FF video means that when you stick a 24/1.4 lens on your camera, you get a horizontal AOV of 73.74° and a DOF of f/1.4 at 24mm. That will affect the perspective. If you want practical numbers, if your subject is 2 meters away, your horizontal coverage (how much you see to the sides of your subject) is 3 meters. If you put the same lens on a RED camera, you get a horizontal AOV of 53.89°. This means that you'll only capture 2.03m of the environment horizontally if your subject is 2 meters away. This will look different. The chair on the left of the subject and the hanging tree branch to the right of your subject that were visible in the frame when you used the lens on FF are not visible on your RED camera. The DOF will also be different (deeper) on RED. Also, it's not "down sampled", it's line skipped. The full sensor is used, but only 1080 vertical lines are read out of all the vertical lines to get 1080 resolution video, likewise for horizontal (1920).

so 5d 3 is a 4k camera?

Not with factory settings...
You can come pretty close to 4K with Magic Lantern.
