In 2008, I bought one of the first Sony EX1 released, but none of my clients wanted to use it.
So I build a website explaining it's advantages.
Within a month, it was the camera I used the most.


Now when my clients call for a 5D or 2/3 inch HD camera, I offer them the FS700 and point them here:

fs700user.com/FS700user.com/Digital_Cinematoghy.html


The site is under construction, full of errors and spelling mistakes… I'm extremely dyslexic.
All comments are appreciated.

Is there any truth to that or just a joke?

Serious topic drift! I photographed Denis Lawrence who wrote this .. http://www.mcgraw-hill.co.uk/html/0335235948.html

He basically said he believed dyslexics were not stupid but had 'different' visual interpretation leading to poor empathy with words and an extremely good concept of visual and 3d world, he suggested photography as a suitable profession and also enlightened me as to why my non dyslexic clients are so visually retarded .. they waste too much of their brain space on reading and cant see properly.. they tend to imagine not actually see, kind of filtering outstuff that is there, onboard DOF adapter, that is useless when the image hits the edit. He suggested it was a simple ability trade off given a fixed size of 'cpu' you cant do both well. It was an interesting afternoon, the pic was crap

I began to research the subject for a documentary, until I discovered PBS had produced good doc a few years ago.
It effects a large portion of our population... It would be helpful if the public knew more about it.

Personally, my grades were always at the bottom of my class, until I studied photo arts and film in University.

Supposedly Ansel Adams was dyslexic.

And if they asked for a Canon 5D… I'm going to point them here:

Good copy, but if I were doing it, I would organize it as follows:

Digital Cinema

Digital cinema can be summarized by three revolutions:

Revolution 1

[Copy along the lines of]: More and more films are being shot in digital video. The top cameras tend to be quite expensive.

Revolution 2

[Copy along the lines of]: In [date], Canon introduced the 5D Mark II. This DSLR allowed people to shoot video using a relatively inexpensive full-frame camera. People could achieve the kind of shallow depth of field previously found chiefly in 35mm film making. Many similar cameras were launched by the major camera manufacturers. Taken as a whole, these cameras were enormously successful, and started a revolution in digital cinema.
Although these cameras revolutionized a sector of the industry, they all had problems[list of problems].

Revolution 3

[Copy along the lines of]: We have just entered a third revolution with cameras designed to allow for large format film making, but to solve the problems introduced by the DSLRs. These include cameras such as the AF100 by Panasonic, the F3, FS-100, and FS-700 by Sony, the C-300 by Canon, and the [title?] By Blackmagic Designs.
These cameras solve many of the problems associated with DSLRs. [Detail.]

Thank you Jim for your comments…
I'll have another go at rewriting the page on the weekend.


In the meantime… yesterday I had a phone call from a multinational company in New York.
They do all their non broadcast work with the 5D.


He looked at my site as we spoke… and said "let's use the FS700."
