I was planning on getting the full frame red for a feature I am planning in the spring, but it doesn't look like that camera will be out until late next year. I currently own a 5d Mk ii , are there any reasons why I can't do this with the 5d, can anyone lend me some advice.
would you shoot a feature 5d

Too many artifacts like aliasing, moire and rolling shutter for my taste. Blowing things up on a big screen, you will see it all. Also, we don't know yet what the new framerates will be with the firmware update. There is also no Pl to Eos Mounts yet if you want to shoot with real cinema lenses and have a good throw for pulling focus... the list goes on. Also the cost of post production to go to print, makes it wiser to simply think of shooting film to begin with.
However, people have shot long films on just about everything imaginable. The only real limit is your imagination.

I didn't see where he's going to do a film out. That aside someone did a film out over at cinema5d as a test and it looked great by all accounts. Since when is it necessary to only shoot with PL glass? Bourne Ult was shot rehoused Nikon still lenses. And LOL at you and your never ending stream of "throw" comments. Here's the real deal Skywalks...can you shoot a feature with a Canon HF11 for major distribution? Yes you can its called Crank High Voltage. Hell you can make a 100 million with a Sony FX. My 5d's footage look better than both of those cams...so do you think you can shoot a feature with that camera? Oh I almost forgot the $75 zombie movie (Collin) that took Cannes by storm on mini dv.
Don't "throw" the baby out with the bathwater, cinebuddy.
Lol I won't!

The aliasing is far from being in every shot, these cameras are great tools. However, it is the general consensus that once it is there, it is VERY difficult to deal with it in post and a lot of people just throw it in the dustbin. I am hoping to test a filter (Caprock) which softens the image to just the right amount to get rid of it, but no guarantees. Softening isn't probably what a lot of folks want to do if they ever blow that image up. Also people complain that they are spending a lot of time now scanning for these artifacts instead of composing.
Personally, I think it's important to have the tools you need to begin working on the content. I don't think for instance that at this price point you are going to find much out there with as much going for it. The 7D is even cheaper. You can always use these as B-cameras as you graduate up.
