This is lunacy. We still only have about 5 HD channels in the UK unless you pay for Sky HD.

GF1/GF2's are found pretty damn cheaply these days, still produce a good still image and you can hack manual video on them with ptool.

Price dropped to 160 for a quick sale. Bargain!

Hi

I have for sale a Panasonic Lumix 20mm F1.7 (pictured below). In great condition. Comes with front and rear caps as well as the panasonic branded lens pouch.

Great lens but due to the ever...

ISO160 is noisy as hell, as is 320, 640 and 1250. It's a 'quirk' of the camera. Shoot non multiples of 160. You can avoid the problem when selecting 160/320/640 by first selecting a very high ISO...

That is very strange. I thought it was a 60th in the the US?

Actually I believe that a lot of hollywood has gone, or is leaning towards digital. I recently saw an interview where Tarentino said he was fighting a losing battle to continue using film and several...

It's the light from the building interior. The flickering light is 'orange', from the inside. All the exterior 'blue' light is flicker free. To avoid this you need to shoot a 50th ( here in PAL land)...

Well that really all depends on how many times you have wanted a bit more reach/compression than your 24 but not quite as much as your 50.

I'd say next on your list is a 135.

Sounds about right.

I think that's exactly what they have done. Very clever indeed.

It has a tiny sensor and I can record 240fps 480p on my phone. Am I missing something here?

Great choice. I have made exactly the same decision.

Old (but high quality/top of the range) FD or Nikon AI/AIS glass is your best bet. As technology has progressed I believe lenses have become...

Oh come off it. Big screen material doesn't always mean a feature length film shot on Alexa with a multi-million dollar budget. I recently shot an ad that is being screened in cinemas and we ended up...

Hold on a second. Are you saying they are implementing an electronic focus system that moves the sensor instead of the lens? That sounds cool.

This already exists in the Ricoh GXR

Any idea on how they are bypassing the auto exposure?

Everything else about this mod is very straight forward and I'm half tempted to build one myself.

Truth. If it's progressive shot in an interlaced wrapper (GH2 25p) that does not mean you need to deinterlace it. It means you need to interpret the footage as progressive in your NLE.

I'm not one to beat around the bush, that wouldn't solve your problem. If you could post a file direct off the camera that exhibits the problems for me to download (not youtube streaming I need the...

Sorry guys I forgot how sever the crop factor is; when it comes to wide angles every mm counts.

I agree that a 35mm zoom lens isn't an ideal solution, but then neither is a 3-set of F4 fixed...

I don't want this to be taken personally, but that is the worst footage I have ever seen filmed with a GH2. In fact I'm finding it hard to believe that was shot with a GH2 at all. My mobile phone...

Wicked video dude. The 720/60 holds up well; much better than the previous canon 60p offerings and on full frame to-boot. Looks like a fun shoot <;O)

If I were you I'd buy a dolly. But really I have no idea because I'm not you, you are.

As other have suggested; go out and shoot whatever it is you want to shoot. If you need something, you will...

You either have a faulty GH2, or you are a faulty cinematographer. If you are consistently getting good footage with an XA10 and poor footage with a GH2, I'd guess at the latter.

I'd suggest...

You need to generate content before people have necessity to view it. You think people will buy a 4k TV for no reason? The PS4, for the same reason, is being released before we have mainstream 4k...
