                Thanks, It’s the affect of many yard sale signs. The community that happens around telephone poles is fascinating. It’s an entire unofficial economy.

                  Our Nikon D3 has 230K shutter actuations.  The mean time between failure on a D3 is 300K.  So I just found a back up on a local auction site Nikon D750 with 239 shutter actuations.  It will be hand delivered shortly…..Think I'll take it to Thailand to try and learn how to use it.....

                    I am waiting for Canon to step up their game with their next big action/high frame per second camera. The EOS 1-DX isn't a big enough jump forward from my EOS 1D Mk IV. I did get to play with a DX at a convention and it does have a beautiful shutter performance compared to my Mk IV, but I am guessing I have WELL over a million photos taken with that one camera alone. I should see if I can find the counter…ha.

                    My studio camera is the EOS 5D-MarkIII. Beautiful camera, battery lasts well enough, love having full frame compared to X1.2 or so I had before with studio work years ago. Haven't really messed with a lot of filming with her, only a little.

                    Cameras are much more "equal" nowadays compared to even 5 years ago. The DSLR is supposed to be dead in so many years time, as well as all wet chemical processed photos. All dry in the future.

                        I've been trawling around some of the news sites this morning as NAB is happening right now. I'm a bit late to the party, but have just seen the announcement of the Canon XC10.

                        It's a fixed lens camera that can shoot 4K video, with a 305 Mbps broadcast quality codec, and 12 MP stills. It's got a 27-576 mm equivalent zoom lens, and possibly professional grade (i.e. metal body) build quality.

                        Downsides are that it can't shoot RAW images, and there aren't XLR connectors for microphones.

                        The amateur videographer community has already slated it, because they think it's expensive for the functionality on offer. But, as usual, I think that they're missing the point.

                          But if you wanted XLR connections you could bolt an Atomos Shogun onto it. 🙂

                              I think that all the wannabe indie film makers are complaining that Canon have made a camera that offers similar functionality to existing models by Sony or Panasonic at a higher price. As usual they're looking at the spec sheets, rather than use cases.

                              For a start the Canon can record at over 300 Mbps internally. None of its rivals can, as they top out around 100 Mbps. Broadcast quality for 1080P is 50 Mbps, so I'm guessing the Canon could be used for TV production at 4K without an external recorder.

                              Given the price and weight of the XC10 it's likely to have a metal body, and be more durable than some of the cheaper cameras.

                              The other criticism is about the small sensor size. If you're wanting to do shallow depth of field you want bigger, but a lot of indie film makers overuse it, and end up with everything being out of focus.

                              Besides, Orson Welles used Deep Focus on a certain film, and it worked out well for him. 😉

                              I think that the issue is too many armchair experts on the Net are spec sheet warriors. If you need a bigger sensor, interchangeable lenses, or can't afford the pricetag then it's not for you. There's no need to rant about Canon not having a clue about the products they're producing. There were similar rants about the Canon C300 being overpriced, but it found an market in the professional sector…

                              But as a portable solution then it sounds really neat. It's not perfect, I'd like to see XLR connectors and RAW output for stills (though that might come in a firmware update), but I'm interested.

                                Appreciate the details and detailed reply Graeme. It's an area I know nothing about, so short of researching it all myself was/is meaningless.

                                  Ah, in that case it's like saying a Leica M is overpriced because you can get a cheaper camera from a different brand cheaper with a higher MP count and autofocus. That misses the point that the glass is fantastic, and it's beautifully made.

                                  OK, Leicas are probably overpriced, but they're lovely! 😘
