Hi Mike! There will be footage from HDSLR Bootcamp released in the near future. As we get dates set in stone on this updates will be posted on HDSLRBootcamp.com. Thank you!

Awesome. thanks Shane!

If you change the extension of the .thm file to .jpg (every .mov file has also a .thm - thumbnail - file in the folder), you can see that you have all the EXIF data already there.

That's really cool info!

Thanks a lot for the tip, much appreciated.

I second that! I didn't know that either. However, when I tried that, it seems that an original still, shot as a jpg, shows more EXIF data, like ISO, than when you change the extension in the .thm file. So, it might be worth it to shoot a still to get all the exposure data for that scene. I used the Preview app and >Tools >ShowInspector on my Mac to show the EXIF data. Thanks everyone for sharing all the info here.

I feel that the majority of the heat is coming from the sensor area rather than LCD. You'll still run into overheating with prolonged use.

Certainly the majority of heat does come from the sensor. My point was that by removing the LCD screen, which also generates heat, from the close proximity of the sensor will HELP to remove additional heat buildup from the sensor. The sensor might still over heat over time, but not having the LCD screen adding to the heating, should give the sensor a longer run time before this occurs.

That would be a nice feature with several benefits. I hope Canon would work that in later models, as long as they also make it so that it could be locked solid in the closed position also.

hey man, here's a comparison chart I found that could be useful.

The 5D doesn't quite make it to flagship/pro level. But it couldn't be any closer.

and another one, just in case. XD

It is Pro to me. The others are hack cameras.

Thank you, Marcel! We hope that we will see you at one of our HDSLR Bootcamps.

We are trying to direct technical commentary and questions to our blog so that followers can learn from the interaction there, and so we do not get too scattered. If you would not mind asking your question on the blog so that Shane may answer there, we would really appreciate it. Thank you again!

Hi Jack, thank you so much for your kind words. I am glad that you like the little tutorial. We are trying to give back as much as all of you give to me. Thanks for your continued support in keeping this revolution alive.

Hi TR!

Thank you for your question. We are trying to direct technical commentary and questions to our blog so that followers can learn from the interaction there, and so we do not get too scattered.

Would you mind asking your question on the blog so that Shane may answer there? We would really appreciate this. Thank you!

Juan, Thank you so much for helping me out in Portland. I had such a great time. The food and the wine were insane. Just like film stock having a specific ISO or back when I started ASA rating 50, 100, 200, 250, 500, 640. This camera has the same. Let’s call them native ISO’s and this camera’s ISO’s that show the least amount of noise are 160, 320, 640, 1250, and 1600. Now when you push film a stop it adds grain, same thing with pushing the sensor. When you go to 200 ISO, you are effectively pushing the sensor and adding noise. 250 ISO will have more noise than 200 because you are now effectively pushing it two stops. When you reach 320 which is a native ISO, it is like we have started with 320 ISO film stock. If we push it to 400 ISO we are once again pushing the sensor and adding noise. When you push the sensor a 1/3 of a stop it is equal to pushing film one stop. When you push the sensor 2/3 of a stop it is like you are pushing film 2 stops. Very organic with this sensor compared to other video cameras. If you sign up for the inside track on my website you can access all the old newsletters. There is one that shows you all the different cameras and their noise levels based on different ISO’s.

Thank you so much Shane!

To reiterate, I heard that if you shot at 200 ISO but your camera's closest native ISO is 160, the sensor will actually bump the exposure up and that is what's creating your noise. Any correction like this might as well be done in post, with grainless but (slightly) underexposed shots, rather than filming grainy shots and trying to correct it later. In reality, if there is any grain or underexposure, you need to talk to your lighting crew (which in a lot of cases is just you) and get that fixed.

Thank you, Robert! It's an awesome medium, enjoy!!

Hi Jason! Thank you so much for your commentary. We are working on providing a transcript of these videos and future ones. Would you be able to send us a message with your email so that we can let you know once we have them ready? Thank you again and keep in touch.

Thank you for your question, Matthew!! Would you mind asking your question on the blog - we are trying to direct technical questions there so that we don't get too scattered, and so that the other blog readers can learn from commentary there as well. Thank you and hope to see you there!

Thank you so much for your feedback, Rena! Very exciting re: your feature film, and we look forward to seeing more about it.

Thank you so much for your feedback, Brett. I would be happy to answer some questions for you - however, would you be able to ask them on the blog? I am trying to direct technical/equipment related questions there so that others may participate, as well. Thanks.

You are very welcome. I have done so many tests on this and have found this to be the perfect group of ISO's.
Shane

Hi Shane, the fact that you've done the tests saves us all the trouble. Thanks for that.

I've been shooting with the Native ISOs for my current project and found that these limited 'stops' takes some getting used to. For example ISO 160 and next is ISO 320... it's a big jump but I'm trying to get used to it.

Thanks again!
Baron

Baron, thank you so much for all of these kind words. I will continue to show people the power of this platform. Peace S

No DVDs planned but will be offering an advanced lighting series this year.

That is great. I have had huge overheating problems with the 7D. Looking forward to see how the C300 holds up in the big screen.

c300 very expencive. 20.000US$
And last month I but panasonic hpx-171. I never satisfied.7D, the recording quality is much better.
