PL...? As in PL mount? I don't see any problem with paying for the 7D PL mount. You're still coming in under $5k.
Dual SDI? Big deal. That just adds to the cost factor if you want higher color resolution. Still doesn't change the fact that it can only record on-board 4:2:0 color space... Which don't get me wrong, I think that's fine, but not when $800 cameras are doing it. I'd like to see you rig up your sony with dual SDI recorders and mount it on a steady cam rig. Some things in the film-making process are more important that image quality.

Originally posted by bwhitz View PostF35 is just Sony's term for 35mm sized sensor area. The Rebel has an APC-sensor, same as the 7D, which is basically super-35 size. 5D still trumps all of them with FF35... Are you familiar with that term?

Originally posted by bwhitz View PostWow that's an expensive piece of garbage for 20K. It can only do 60p in 720p? Really? And no over-cranking like the AF-100? How is this better than a $800 T2i... which is fully progressive and not wrapped in that BS 60i crap. The only thing it's got going is that fact that there will probably be less aliasing... which is not work and extra $19k.. and 4:2:2 10-bit output.

Originally posted by PerroneFord View PostIt is? That's interesting. I thought the F35 was a Sony Digital Cinema camera. I could have SWORN I'd seen pictures of it on numerous movies. Oh look, here's a photo of it:

Less noise and aliasing is a real big deal. 4.2.2 and 10 bit output is also a big deal for many people. An no, 60i is not the only way it records.

Originally posted by bwhitz View PostHaha... The only reason that there are so many stupid skate videos is because the freakin camera is only $800 dollars. It's doesn't change the fact that this $20k Sony cam and a $800 DSLR you can get at Best Buy are both capable of the same resolutions and frame-rates.

Here I'll spell it out again for people who are slow (i.e. everyone in this thread but me):
$800 - Canon T2i Rebel: S35mm 1080p (24p/30p) 720p (60p) H.264 45mps... slightly worse codec, but higher bit-rate
$20,000 - Sony F3 "crap machine": S35mm 1080p (24p/30p) 720p (60p) Xdcam 25mps... better codec, but lower bit-rate, both are long-GOP. On-board audio (which you aren't using if you're a professional, right?) and external capture options.
$28,000 - Red Epic: S35mm 5k RAW 120fps, HDRx imaging, Small form factor, touch and track focus ect...
Are you "Pros" not seeing the errors in this pricing hierarchy? Or are you just subconsciously compulsive to expensive cameras that say "professional" on them even if the technology doesn't warrant it?Last edited by bwhitz; 11-08-2010, 10:49 PM.

Guys, he's clearly very young or just trying to get a laugh. Some of the things he said would only be able to be said by someone with no experience whatsoever in the film industry or a child
"that 10k and vest arm crap" That really made me lol
You realize the type of people in the market for the sony will most definitely be using "that vest and arm crap"
All the still cameras you listed are absolutely not even to be considered here, I wouldn't even risk using one for a freelance wedding shoot, the aliasing and moire are not acceptable outside of youtube. they have the same resolution and framerates, just like a canon dslr has the same resolution and framerates as an alexa. Cameras must be exactly the same! We're discussing professional equipment here, I think you're in the wrong forum
