Film shot on the Canon 1D-C

[Gene Sung]

The film shot on the 1D-C looks great, even if the story is utterly predictable.

Not sure why Canon can't just make a 2K version of this camera (I don't really need 4K that much), put it in a 5D3 body with maybe a flip screen and price it around $6K or so. Basically a 5D3 with a firmware upgrade. I would buy it in a second. But Canon is just pricing themselves out of consideration.

Looks nice, however the vimeo 1280 doesn't look any sharper than the 5D3 with post sharpening (why not provide a 1920 version?). I'll see if I can screen the 4K version somewhere in town (I know RED has a 4K projector at the old RenMar studio in Hollywood ).

Once we see the results of the full maxmax OLPF mod, it might bring the 5D3 closer to 1000+ lines (full 1920x1080) with minimal artifacts for video (that's what we're hoping). 850 lines with post sharpening is still pretty good, though (especially when aliasing and moire are well controlled).

First off, I don't think to be predictable is bad in this case, quite the contrary granted the handling. Take the example of Citizen Kane.

Secondly, HD is nearly 2K. Above 5DIII, you already have for such price the 1D X.
4K is 4x 2K. It means a lot and is future proof. It means twice a lot.
