Jim Jannard says pro HDSLR users should be “embarrassed” on REDUSER.net
Jim makes it clear that he doesn’t consider HDSLR cameras as competition to the RED platform – and in their current incarnation he’s 100% right. He doesn’t seem too concerned about the financial resources available to Canon (et. al) and apparently thinks that they won’t be setting their sites on creating a studio quality movie camera in the near future. I think he’s probably wrong about that!
I fully expect the DSLR mfgs to get it right at some point. Make a non-line-skipping 4K camera. At that point, the difference will be RAW 5K and 6K vs. whatever they make. Until then, a line-skipping 1080P camera is just not in the running for a pro camera. Can you make OK images with a line-skipping 1080P camera? Sure. Should you be embarrassed? Yes. We are not in that business.
I saw the Canon commercial about shooting “motion stills”. They should be ashamed. Just try to take a still from their motion 1080P capture…
