oooh! i really coveted that canon 5d and this is presumably the next thing. ended up getting a dmc-lx3 tho. just not into lugging a big dslr around. for me that is one of the really risible sights, people and their gigantic cameras, up there with people fiddling with their iPhones.
i mean, not to say it's not cool in a "pro" context - or if you're a serious photographer but for the crap that i imagine most of these people shoot with them. squirrels in the park etc then its strictly jokes.
i had to shoot in HD recently and i ended up hiring a "proper" video camera - a canon HD one, and it was a dream. actually sloane, if you just plan out what you want to shoot, then hire a really proper camera (£100/day) you're quids in
I tend to film stuff on the fly and then heavily process so it would be really handy for me to have around, plus been going to alot of deserts recently and unfortunately my video cameras just won't take the intensity of light, so it'd be really good to have something where I could change lenses and use filters instead of (two weeks ago) standing in the most beautiful desert in the world and my video camera going "uh uh, no way am I doing that".
Ah cool about audio compression, I've been trying to understand video compression (again) recently and it just does my head in. In a good way. I like it. But I know alot of people who just go spare about it, mainly audiophiles.
Is there a fake tan/orange people correlation, do you think? "I wanna look like the people on telly!"
