Why I Chose to Invest in a C300 over a RED MX(or a SCARLET) - Blog - Alex Wagner
After lots and lots of deliberation, I finally made the decision to invest in a new camera. To be exact, I bought a Canon C300 with EF mount. I have been agonizing for almost 2 months now over getting a C300, a used RED MX, or putting together a DIT cart. I've owned a 7D for a couple of years now and my hope was that purchasing a higher end camera would help me get better work/less run 'n' gun videography-type gigs, or at the very least, provide me with another stream of income through rentals. I considered many options but one of my main criteria is "what do people want to rent?". Through research and recent experience working at a rental house, I narrowed it down to two cameras: the RED MX and the Canon C300. You may disagree that the RED MX is still a popular camera to rent but, I have to say, I know some local owner/operators of RED Camera packages and they stay pretty busy in the Dallas/Ft. Some other notes: I did not consider the Scarlet because I do not like it's design.
Release notes
What are nightly builds? - Nightly builds are binaries compiled daily from the latest source code, by an automatic program - BuildBot. Who should use nightly builds? - Anyone who likes to live on the bleeding edge, wants to help ML development, and doesn't care about some features being broken. Why should I use a nightly build? - To try the latest features (e.g. you have requested a feature and it was implemented). - To check if a bug was fixed. - To help us with testing (please report any bugs you find). What are the disadvantages of nightly builds? - You are running untested code. - No documentation - the only help for new features is a small line of text, and ML source code. - No guarantees - if it breaks, you get to keep both pieces. What's new? - See the ChangeLog. - Browse the changeset log on Bitbucket. - Look for feature requests marked as "DONE". - The list of changes is huge - if you want a nice summary, you need to wait for the next stable release. Will it work on my camera?

Canon HDSLR USB Follow Focus [UPDATE] | NextWaveDV
View Factor was the first to announce a USB follow focus for Canon HDSLR cameras. Overcoming the challenges of Canon’s USB focus control has proven to be a huge undertaking. Their original projection was late summer 2010, but that seems to have been pushed back. It looks like another person has taken on the endeavor of building a USB follow focus. Read more on Cinema5D’s forums. [UPDATE] Curt from View Factor contacted us via email with an update to their USB follow focus: We have been working diligently on our solution and will be announcing more information shortly.
Low light test of 5D Mark III raw vs H.264
The 5D Mark III is already a very capable low light camera. In its factory guise whilst not quite as clean as the Canon C300 or Sony FS100, it is the best DSLR for low light shooting (though the Nikon D5200 puts up a good fight). But that was before the latest developments with ML Raw. Has low light improved even further? The answer is a resounding yes. The image is cleaner in low light with raw, with even exposures I rated ISO 12,800 coming out perfectly usable. The power of raw is that you can fully exploit the dynamic range of the image, and in low light that means going into the shadows and giving them a lift, or crushing them back for more contrast and less noise. First an important note – don’t judge noise from the Vimeo streaming embedded clip. RAW (click it to enlarge) Download the DNG and grade it yourself in Photoshop Note on warm cast – that is on purpose, creative choice to match look of scene how my eyes saw it. Also look at the poster – half of it is gone. Latitude Raw Exposure
