    the video is now up at his blog. pretty superior quality, but realize dude was shooting with an array of gear that costs 500x the camera, along with a professional film crew. the most impressive thing to me is the lack of grain at 1600 and 3200 iso.

    i don't know, i think video on SLRs is a pretty stupid thing overall. let's keep people great at certain things instead of meddling in mediocrity with a different field because it can sell better. doesn't make much sense but i'm sure the people that get rich off it don't care.

    • "This camera will sell for approx. $2,700 - and perform better than many $100K plus video cameras out there"sikma
    • how will this promote mediocrity?sikma
    • it's not better than 100k cameras, though. you still need a shit ton of equipment, and the camera can't attach to a mic or a steadycam rig.colin_s
    • steadycam. it's mainly that i think experts in video should be videographers, photographers do their thing. etc.colin_s
    • those sound like minor hurdles. fact of the matter is this camera can capture what a 100k camera cansikma
    • it's mediocre for sure.robotron3k
    • its still a shit hot camera, the video is a bonus!slappy
    • why can't you mount it to a steadycam? has the same thread as a tripodlambsy
