its not that i cant settle below an amazing blonde , i dont mind a decent looking brunette , but this is big fat mom !! .
If the sensor can't do standard 1080/60p, I'm not sure how it can do 1080/24p @ 60 fps VFR, unless it's some sort of burst mode that it can't keep up for long.

Sorry, didn't necessarily see every question. All those responses were typed out at 2:00 a.m.-ish.
Well, not really -- the motion picture standard has traditionally been Academy 35mm, not S35. S35 is bigger than normal. Normal 35mm cinema film is a 22mm wide frame, and S35 is a 24mm wide frame.
There is no difference. A 50mm lens is a 50mm lens. If you put a 50mm stills camera lens on a movie camera, and then replaced it with a 50mm cinema lens, they will look exactly the same.
Yes, when both are used on the same camera, they will deliver identical FOV and DOF results.
Which is why I call the crop factor a "crap factor". It just causes confusion. I say ignore it and instead think in terms of a cinema prime lens set, which would include a 25mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm. Those are the most common focal lengths used in cinema shooting. Who cares what the lens looks like on a still camera? You're not using a still camera, you're using a cinema camera, so use cinema focal lengths. An extended cinema set would add 18mm, maybe 21mm, and 100mm. With those 7, you've got a pretty complete set.
Correct, but almost irrelevant. The cinema crop factor is so minor that you can just about ignore it. I mean, if you put a 20mm lens on a cinema camera and shoot from 10 feet, you could get the same results on an AF100 by either a) using a 23mm lens, or b) use the same 20mm lens, and shoot from 11.8 feet back instead. Really it's no big deal. It's very slightly different, but it's not some big scary thing you have to worry about. You just use either a very slightly wider lens or set the camera very slightly further back.
Yes, exactly. Or just back the camera up 18%.
No information was given. But, let's be clear -- no actual information has ever been given on how DSLR sensors work either. No engineer or chip designer who is "in the know" has ever confirmed that DSLRs "line skip." We THINK they do, it seems a reasonable guess based on the end results, but we don't KNOW it to be so.
Oh, you don't know the half of it. During the press conference they had one there on a display so I went over and grabbed it and I was wildly waving it around and then I got to the point about discussing monitoring options and I wanted to show the HD-SDI so I pried open the cover and ... yanked a chunk of the camera off. Because it wasn't a camera at all -- it was a mockup! So I broke the mockup, in front of the entire broadcast industry press. A little embarrassing...
And as I was waving it around I could feel the lens getting a little wobbly, and I thought any minute now that was gonna fall off. So, yeah, lesson learned -- find out whether you're demonstrating a functional version, or just an expertly-crafted mockup!
sorry for your embarrassment, but i laughed at this story.:embarasseOh, you don't know the half of it.
