I always liked Canon more, I don't know exactly why, but I just like having a Canon in my hands and I've never had this feeling with Nikon. So I guess I'd go for a canon rather than a Nikon. I haven't been able to check out the rest of the cameras everyone has shown me, I think I have some...

Only just starting out as a filmmaker but I know this: - The only times I'm truly happy is when I'm working on a film or photograph, because I know I'm making something worth watching. - I just want to tell stories as beautifully as possible, that's what I liked to do when I was five and that's...

Haha okay, now I have to take a real good look at the EOS-M. I didn't really look into it since it's a compact camera and I have this idea in my head that they aren't as good as DSLRs or comparable camera's. You say you used them side by side, what camera do you prefer? What are the pro's and...

You mean they want to use your footage for promotional use? Nice job! I've begun to realize how important the lenses are, that's why I'm starting to lean towards the 600D. It'll save me about €500,- on the body alone... That's a lot of money I can invest in gear and/or lenses. Now my cousin...

I saw a lot of Moire examples and every time I thought "why would I be swinging my camera from the left to the right...". It looked fine as long as the camera was still. As I said earlier, I'm going to test the 600D somewhere in the coming weeks. Then I can see for myself if the moire is so bad...

It turns out my cousin has a Canon 600D (T3i), so I'll be testing it in the next few weeks. However, I don't think I'll be buying this one as it's beneath my budget and if I van afford a "better" one I'm definitely going to buy a better one! I've been looking at the Canon 60D and 70D. As the...

Thanks, Sage Pictures! I just came back from a small film/production company in my neighbourhood and I saw a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera there. That thing is amazing, I asked the guy a ton of questions and he gave me this advice: If you only want to make films you should buy a Blackmagic...

The Blackmagic is looking better and better... I wanted to ask how an adapter can cause a smaller aperture, but I figured it out (thanks physics!). I'm impressed by this video: http://vimeo.com/49875510 However, they tested the bigger Blackmagic Cinema Camera instead of the Pocket Cinema. Does...

:D I have a tripod and I learnt a lot of simple tricks with it, like making a stabalizer out of it, so I'm good there. About the lenses and storage, that was one of my concerns as well. The BMPCC costs €995 new and then I'd need at least one, but probably two lenses and, again, at least one...

I have to say the blackmagic camera looks amazing... Is colour grading hard to learn and is it very different from adjusting the colours that come from a DSLR? I do know that if I'm going to buy a DSLR it won't be a low-end one, I'd rather spend around €800,- on a camera that I'll gladly use...

First off, thank you for the quick reply! At least now I have a starting point and I can start to learn what to look for. @Yodaman: Unfortunately I don't quite have the budget to buy a Blackmagic camera with lenses and other gear, but I'm sure that some (bright, sunny) day I do.. I've taken a...

Didn't see a general choosing a camera topic. Maybe it's a good idea to have one where everyone can ask a question about what camera they should use for a project or what camera they should buy themselves. Please tell me if there already is a topic like this and I'll ask my question there...
