This is background, not my primary audio and to my ears, the quality of the audio from the...

Does any one know if there are any 'affordable' (under $300) solar powered battery chargers for Canon DSLR batteries LP E6, LP-E4N ?

Let me rephrase this
When using custom flat profiles, normally you expose as far to the right without clipping.

Should you do the same with Clog?

Does the rule expose to the right still apply?

How does this compare to Canon Log?

Ok then it is my misunderstanding of how Canon Log works in regards to the histogram. 'Expose to the right' has always been my mantra. Will do a few tests in C log exposing to the far right to see...

Its not the 50% tones I'm concerned about. What I'm talking about is easier illustrated in Photoshop. Open a sample Canon Log image, preferably with average contrast, details in shadow and highlight...

Actually there IS one thing I hope Canon fixes.
Apparently when using 'View Assist' it also affects the histogram. I just found this out on watching Phillip Bloom's review a 2nd time. So the...

here's hoping the firmware update will include focus peaking and improved 720P sharpness(I know I'm dreaming)

More importantly, why do you really need OLED and a touchscreen? I have the SmallHD AC7 and it works great with my 1DC.

I also recall reading that OLED's really suck batteries

Thanks. Wasn't aware of Cineform intermediate (10bit 422). I thought Prores422 was 10bit. Do you use MpegStreamClip for the transcode?

Downloaded the demo. Seems very well thought out. Has anyone else had a chance to use it?

Whats the advantage of Cineform 10bit over Prores?
Or is it simple the case that Prores is not available on the PC?
