The end of 35mm adapers and hv20s....

As long as the subject isn't moving, YES, you can take a still picture. HAHA Just kidding... i don't even know what that argument is about. But I'm sure it is easy to take a picture of Sarah Palins' autistic son. haha

Sorry that was in poor taste. Love the photo... your color correction is off.

I must be the only one here who thinks the clip didn't look so good, there seemed to be little clarity, as I have said about the other clips (on Vimeo) it is as if someone has run a median filter over it.

This 'effect' extends to out of focus areas, they too take on the appearance of something that is out of focus but having been run through a median (or even facet) filter !

It is almost as if it has been shot at a lower resolution and scaled up (I am not suggesting this is the case, but that is what the output looks like).

The rolling shutter skew looks to be as bad or even worse than my HV10/HV30 but concerns me less than the odd resolution/focus.

Will have to see more clips to pass any kind of judgement.
 
That doesn't seem any worse than a camera with a focal adapter on it. In fact, this image almost looks like with was shot on a camera with a focal adapter. Which means... well nothing.
 
I also noticed that on the "famous" bike footage, you can see the focus roll right on past the biker and to the marina across the river, thats why I think that clips is soft. This clip looks like its a little far focused- but I think the image quality looks great and it does have a film-like feel.
 
if you stuck an old manual Nikon AIS lens on this thing, there would be no electronics to affect exposure, thus "locking it" right?
 
I think the fact that it is shot indoors helps to give it a "film like" feel because there are no over exposed highlights.
 
ahh, yeah, i didn't think of iso being exposure. well we know it can be locked by that button. now the these 35mm adapter companies need to come out with a AE-L adapter
 
I think you have to hold down the ae-L button (so they say). I have a hard time believing thats the only way, but if it is, I may just have to make a little clamp for it.

By the way- from the footage I have seen of the d90 recording in movie mode- only the shutter and iris shift- not the Iso.
 
alright, well hopefully you can put it in M mode and have everything in manual and still be able to engage D-Movie Mode so its all locked. holding down the button will f*ck me up trying to follow focus or something, i know it. i don't see D-Movie on the mode ring around the shutter button so... maybe.

the iris is on the lens and the shutter is in camera?

Yes, but there isn't just the shutter to factor in... you also have to think in terms of the camera's iso speed. Like changing the speed of the film you're using in the camera.
 
i was playing with the footage in premiere and it doesn't do too bad when slowing it down. my dvx handles slow motion a hell of a lot worse than this did. that's cool.
 
im thinking the exposure changes were seeing in some of the videos may have to with the sensor itself. I have mentioned it before, but I find that if I overload the sensor with still the exposure varies slightly from shot to shot. Even though I am shooting in a controlled space with none of my settings changing, again, we will have to wait and see. Hurray.
 
I dont the Iso will ever jump- you set that manually. I hope M mode works like it should, if not there are plenty of small easy ways to clamp down that button.
