I use to shoot weddings and other long events on Super VHS and Betacams and could record hours
shoulder mounted with no fatigue. These were the best designed cameras (the camera fits the operator/ergonomics).Today I’m using shoulder rigs with add ons and external’s everywhere with wires hanging and connecting things that should be all one unit.

Yesterday I shot a 25th wedding anniversary with a long mass before.I shot this with my HVX 200
a 8 inch monitor with a heavy battery (HVX LCD’s are hopeless) a matt box,follow focus,shoulder rig
shot gun mic,led light.What can I say my backs killing me today.

I am a fan of CRT viewfinders you can really judge focus.LCD’s just don’t cut it.Todays technology could produce a HD CRT viewfinder that would be so sweet.

Anyway nice upload Andrew I like seeing happy families I have 3 kid’s.The eldest my daughter Haili
is doing film production/photography at university.(following daddy).
We also work on indie films,music videos etc and have a camera and grip hire business.So I was glad to see a real world shooting situation (scenery,sunlight,out doors,kids playing)
Your example is one of 2 that’s helped me decide to buy this camera.

Fingers crossed that the 4K add on isen’t going to be to costly.

Cheers Rick Idak

I would say it is going to depend on your usage and how much post/grading you need to do. This has the slow motion, which the cannon lacks. Also, this will eventually have uncompressed out and at 4k rez which you would have to go to the C500 to get… and who knows when that will come out (and it will cost 5-10x as much).

My thoughts exactly. Can’t wait
