5D mark II is still better for stock and a third of the price.

As an exclusive the sales from XXXL files are pretty nice, it's like an EL at SS (although probably just as rare).  As a nonexclusive I would imagine the benefits are a little less since DT upsize all their images don't they and SS sells any size the same price.

Been with Nikon since the beginning. But...I agree. if I want more..I'll go back to med format. way to much Money for what it is.

Interesting I haven't heard that before.

Are you comparing $100,000 systems to $500 dollar cameras though?

Just found a screen shot of a press release posted on Peta Pixel:

Flagship??? Not for my dollars. And i agree about DSLR video. Good for B-roll and some applications. to many good Dedicated Video cameras now as compared to the big DSLR video rush a few years ago with a good pricepoint, A lot more versatility and ergonomics. I just did the still work on a new comedy film. The cinematographer used the  Sony P3. I want That camera. or the new canon EOS 300C. I saw some footage from the canon at Paramount a month ago....OMG!!!!!!!!!

If your gonna do 15 sec stock clips a $1000 Panasonic Hs900 is Just fine.

I'm aware of the House season finale, etc...  Here's my big point. To get those  cameras to perform well, you end up doing a ton of stuff you wouldn't normally need to do and you also loose a ton of flexibility in post because of the compressed formats used... Just because someone pulled a great image out of the camera does not mean it's a good camera.

Visit my website and look at my demo reel. A lot of those clips were shot using a DVX100A standard def camera.... yet I pulled 10bit uncompressed 720P footage out of it. It was modified, and quite frankly, a PITA to operate since it had to be tethered to a Mac Mini in a pelican case, all files needed to be rendered before I could view them, sound had to be synced in post, and the sensitivity of that system was practically 100 ISO, not very filmmaking friendly.

That system has issues galore - but I still pulled great images from it. Doesn't mean it's a great camera. I'm just a good DP

I've learned over the years to not base my opinion of a camera on footage anymore - any camera can produce a great - or lousy - image in the right hands. I'm way more focused on the actual tech specs because those represent the real tools I have to work with.

PS: There is a sensor filter on the market specifically designed to reduce artifacts produced by HDSLR cameras. In my opinion, you shouldn't need to buy an accessory like that.

That is correct. You get major filmaking talent behind anything and a 100K worth of equip and there ya go. Everything Is just another tool in the box and like everything Visual. it is subject specific.

Hi this is torrestheresa.
 Actually all the information are above share that are huge.  

Thankyou

from the top 5 agencies there is only IS and FT, of course the buyer can look into a size and go there because of that

Oh you exclusives and the subs . I just got this at DT for instance and it's only a medium sized DL 12 credits (2010)    $4.07    medium . It would have to be a P+ XL for me to get as much at IS. Well If you can get over 2$ for S sized DLs, then you, as an exclusive, could match that. And since you like to talk so much about SS, many contributors earn more with ODs over there than with subs (I'm not amongst them unfortunately, but the ratio is moving in that direction), then there are SODs and EL of course. Of course I'm not saying the grass is greener at our side, it's user dependant and yes, there are still to many sub sales on every site. But at least no site pays me as low for subs as IS. Or credit sales for that matter (got a 7c/credit sale and dozens of 10c/credit sales, they're usually XS subs)
