I added: Buttons and features and resolution charts just had their ass handed to them by sex appeal.īut can we have both? Panasonic says yes. Still, it seems to be obvious that what I predicted two years ago is true: It’s no longer OK for video camera manufacturers, whether they be Sony or Canon or RED, to make a video camera that doesn’t excite us emotionally. The result is that we’re making sexy-looking video (just don’t look too close) with cameras that costs only a grand or two - and most of that cost is due to features we’re not even using. We can complain all we want, but we’re the beneficiaries of a glorious happy accident of “good enough” coupled with Canon’s years of experience hacking OK-looking movies off point-and-shoot sensors.

To pull a full 5616x3160 image off the 5D Mark II’s sensor every 24th of a second would likely require a much more expensive sensor and a method of dealing with the resultant heat.

The line-skipping or binning issue is not simply a question of will or understanding - it’s an actual limitation of how fast data can be streamed off the back of the sensor itself. I’ve been a part of this complaining, but I don’t share the opinion of some that the challenge is easy, if only Canon or Nikon or whomever cared to rise to it. Won’t someone come along and make a camera with a huge sensor, interchangeable lenses, and proper video features? We’ve been having a lot of fun shooting with DSLRs, complaining the entire time about all the obstacles they present. You can buy a fancy slider (I did, I love my Glidetrack HD), or you can feel so much more clever and agile turning any tripod into a jib arm. It’s kinda fun doing things the wrong way.
