5D MKIII specs

[Emanuel]

Anthony (Squig) and Kholi will be shooting in Arizona desert soon, I believe.

My tease! : D With no fun I would be out of dvxuser. And I think even RED would not exist! ;-) Where are you, Jarred? We miss you!

I agree .... its scary that they released the 24-70 without IS

Yes stabilization. Its amazing what happens when its missing

I must have missed the smiley face. Whether it was or still is there or not, I would encourage you to bring your comments up a level. You offer great insight to those of us (like me) who don't know much about cameras. Keep your comments focused on that and you'll continue to maintain the great respect we have for you. You don't have to set a "serious" tone but you don't have to deride someone else's perspective that story matters. It may not matter to you. It may not matter to Hollywood. It may not matter to the masses. Even if you are right, there is a more productive, fact-based way to present your perspective.

Boy xD I'll tell ya, you didn't really leave me any high roads to respond to this. Between being told (encouraged) how to live and where to focus my comments, well, what can I say that won't make me look like a meanie head!??!?

If by commenting in a way that you deem unfit means losing your respect, then I'm SOL. xDDDD Having yellow text under my name doesn't mean I turn into an oath-reciting law enforcement officer. It means I make sure that the boards it'nt littered with credit card scam spam and tidying up.

It will definitely make you not want to shoot anything else, well... if you're susceptible to pixel-envy.

What great times we live in. Content is dead. Long live the resolution experience.

It clearly doesn't mean that I'm impervious to being [passively] derided for being a dreaded pixel-peeper, either.

Squig and I have been at each other's throats since he came around, there's never any harm done and we've PM'd in our day on various topics (mostly cameras). I even sent him a thank you! For showing me that you could shoot wide open on a 5D, if your'e planning to crop 2.35:1.

If you took offense to that, then perhaps I should find a way to reinforce the "just kidding" in my posts so it doesn't happen in the future?

And as for story, never said it doesn't matter to me. =D Never said that it didn't matter at all. If you ever see me write that please quote me so I can apologize for misrepresenting myself.

Hey! I just saw on the end of the Mario&Nette where they show scenes with lenses used they Posted EF 24-70mm f2.8L IS II USM ! Not just once but twice, Does that mena that the New 24-70 NOW has IS ?! whooohoo!

View attachment 48945

the last picture says they used an 16-35 with IS. maybe its a prototype for a new version of the 16-35 lens

I was JUST looking for this cycle post by Barry Green. LoL

Still accurate

Haha! I just made this one up, It would be funny to see how similar mine is to Barry's.

It's possible that I read too much into your comment. If so...sorry. It just seemed to me that you called out someone earlier in this thread (dustylense perhaps?) about a post with a similar tone toward someone else, either directly or indirectly. That's all. I still respect you a lot and am not trying to tell you how to live your life. Sorry if that's how it came across.

New camera announcements:

1) Excitement and anticipation
2) Disappointment and confusion
3) Justification and dismissal
4) Pixel peeping and soap box preaching
5) Market share exclamations
6) Camera ships and the truths are revealed
7) New camera announced, return to step 1

Awesome!

I went back to that post, didn't realize that OC was responding to someone because there weren't brackets around his quote. Thought he just italicized it on accident and DL jumped on him.

I'll make sure I brand all of my joking posts from now on, because they seem to always get taken the wrong way. Tsk!

Don't become gray! This forum won't survive in the same way : ) Dave already explained his point. And he has one. It is not your attitude, but some interpretation you posted over someone else. Quite probably as much out of context as he was now : ))

Something I will write anyhow. Some people change their tone when become mods. When they get something to add-on to their curricula : D I am not even speaking about dvxuser. In any case, it is not the case of this nice young fellow who once left Atlanta to come to LA

Don't worry! I will re-post it. Let me only to wait for the last post of this page!

Post counting counts!

Yes, you are quite right. My apologies.

pixels, pixels, pixels.....

 

[squig]

I can't figure out if the pixels are important or not. xD Which one is it?

Well you're using pixels to tell a story. If the pixels have some aliasing is your story not told?

I'm with you on this. If the 5DIII quality is as clean as it's seeming to be, and measures up to a full 1000 lines... .. there's really nothing else the C300 is offering. Heck, I'd even take the 5DIII's 4:2:0 all-I codec over the C300's 4:2:2 long-GOP one.

Oh.....aha. 1000lines? and then that´s it? That´s all a camera needs to be? You don´t need audio? you don´t need to check your focus somewhere? What if you want to shoot 32 frames per second? or 22? or 37? Or need a concert i one take....there is a lot the C300 offers if you want to be prepared for any circumstances the client/script comes up with. If you shoot narrative scripts with controlled light and 15 LEDs to light up the shadows all the time...then the C300 offers not much to you maybe....but as a device it is just a grown up camcorder and not a stills-cam with video features.

And the ALL-I codec is exactly what? never had it in my NLE....so why does it need 91Mbps...seems quite a lot for a 420 codec...there might be something fishy there and we don´t know it yet.

 

[squig]

I'm with you on this. If the 5DIII quality is as clean as it's seeming to be, and measures up to a full 1000 lines... then even with price being no issue... I think I'd still take the 5DIII over the C300. I like the FF35 look better, and then besides the 4:2:2 codec... there's really nothing else the C300 is offering. Heck, I'd even take the 5DIII's 4:2:0 all-I codec over the C300's 4:2:2 long-GOP one. Intraframe motion looks SO much better than the mushy long-GOP motion rendering. After working with the Intra-codec GH2 for some time now, I went back and looked at some of the first long-GOP GH2 stuff I shot and it looked like 60i interlaced footage. Gross.

Edit: Wait a sec... the Nikon D800 has uncompressed 4:2:2 output with three different sensor modes for $2999? Why am I even looking at the 5DIII? I thought this was only going to be in the $7000 D4? Great news!!!

The D800 only has 2 sensor modes. No 2.7x crop like the D4. And some of us suspect it still line skips but the jury is still out until we see some files out of the camera.

The C300 does have a $12,000 fan built in.
