    Buying new Dell XPS 15 for editing - 4K or FHD?

    Hey all. I'm thinking to buy the new Dell XPS 15 to replace my old MBP. Mainly will be editing HD (in resolve and premiere) but also some 4K. The FHD screen is 100% RGB, while the 4K is 100% adobe RGB. FHD is matte (I believe) while the 4K is glossy touchscreen with anti-gloss coating...

    FAQ Laptop for editing - benefits of 4K Screen

    Hey all. Loving my FS5 - 1.5 years and going strong. 2011 MBP 17" getting a bit long in the tooth. Thinking of moving to a Dell XPS 15 (apple's direction with mbp not inspiring). Price / hardware is right for editing most anything in terms of RAM, Processor, Graphics card, etc ... but not...

    DJI Phantom 1 - Outdated?

    I live in Guatemala where camera gear is not cheap ... saw a DJI Phantom 1 for sale with DJI hardcase, extra battery, prop guards and gopro 3 black for around US$600. The guy is negotiable to a point. I don't plan any trips to the US soon or I'd get one there. So question is, how outdated is...

    FS5: PP tweaks to give similar "look" to Wide DR

    I shot a quick news piece yesterday with my new FS5, first time using for work. Normally I'd be using my C100. As others have noted, colors using a slightly tweaked Wide DR profile are much nicer than what i used on the FS5 (PP6). Crash editing to deadline doesn't give me a chance to do...

    FS5: Sony A-Mount 70-300mm G Lens

    I'm looking for a zoom with some reach for my new FS5. I don't have any Canon's aside from 24-105. Looked at Sony 70-200 which is nice but pricey (CAD$1500). Could pick up speedbooster and Canon 70-200L f4 but I loose more than 20% on the long end and AF if ever needed (although f2.8 is...

    FS5: Metabones Speedbooster Ultra Canon EF to Sony E - User Reviews

    Hi wanted to hear from people who have this combo as to its reliability, functionality, and ease of use - before plopping down $1000 CAD on the adaptor. I would use principally with my Canon 24-105 f4 (the 17-55 2.8 is currently my alway on lens for my C100). I'm waiting for stock of the FS5 to...

    FS5: SDXC Cards

    Has anyone used these Sony SDXC Class 10 UHS-1 cards successfully? They're half the price of Sandisk in Canada - so a few hundred dollar savings for 4 of them...

    C100: Canon EF 70-300mm 4-5.6L Lens

    Hey guys. Anyone use this with their C100/C300? I like the reach of the 70-300 (I have the crappy non-L lens and use it regularly). And the price/weight sure beats the 70-200 2.8L ... I sometimes carry all gear in a backpack, which can find itself on my back for an hour or more ... I also...

    C100: Canon C100 Raincover

    Has anyone used one that worked well? I've always jerryrigged something, but with the rainy season back upon us here in Central America I'm thinking of a better solution. Thanks!

    C100: C100 Mk2 - STM Lenses

    I'm thinking about upgrading to the c100 Mk2. Much of the work I do is run and gun, working on my own (news and docs). The AF / face detection on the Mk2 looks very attractive, but appears only to work with STM lenses (of which I have none). Two interesting ones are: 18-135mm EF-S 24-105 EF...

    Shooting with a shoulder mount camera - Silly Question

    I'm 6'2" tall and work largely in Guatemala where many adults are at least a foot shorter than me. I currently shoot with a Canon C100 and tend to cradle it when handheld. If I were to use a shoulder mount camera, how it is possible not to have every handheld shot looking down on people...

    [FS: General] Panasonic Lumix 12-35mm f2.8 Aspherical Lens

    I bought this lens in late August 2012 to use with my GH2. Only used it for about four months before purchasing a Canon C100. The lens is in great condition. No scratches or marks on the lens or body. Comes with bag and hood. Can't seem to find the box but I'll keep looking. Asking 600...

    C100: C100 - Possible to Mark a Clip while Recording?

    Is there any way to "mark" a clip while recording so you can race back to the "marked" point in an interview (opposed to having to write down the timecode by hand. Many thanks.

    C100: C100 Scene Files

    What scene files have you all tried on your cams (aside from C-Log). I'm wondering what's out there that doesn't require much grading, yet still gives good dynamic range, natural colors, etc. It's for news features. Do files designed for the C300 work for the C100 as well? Also, how accurate...

    C100: UV Filter to protect lens?

    Just wondering if anyone uses a UV filter to protect their lenses. I haven't yet, but with purchase of C100 and some new (and some used) glass I'm wondering if it makes sense. But have also read it affects image quality. Thanks!

    Canon EF 70-300 4-5.6 USM IS - Any good for video?

    Some of the reviews I've read are pretty good. Optically it sounds pretty good. IS works well. Variable aperture but that's okay. Build quality isn't a problem as I wouldn't be using it that often (hence spending less than half of the cost of a 70-200 L 4.0 - plus the extra reach). Has anyone...

    C100: Canon 18-135mm STM - Anyone using on C100/C300

    Am going to buy the C100 and need to get a lens. Someone suggested the above Rebel kit lens. I know, $500 lens on a $6500 camera. But the reviews overall seem quite positive. Great range. Pain about the non-fixed aperture. Curious how the "Dymanic IS" works with video. Supposed to be good for...

    Replacing Sony ECM-44 with AT899? Advice please!

    I was thinking of replacing my venerable Sony with the AT899 - more due to size and ease of concealing it. I work as a video-journalist/filmaker and am often recording interviews in the field with little set up time. I'm happy with the sound and build quality of the Sony (and the long cable)...
