[Avid-L2] Re: Mac Smoke Official now new Sheriff in town now DSLR/DSMC?

"In other words, by the time you spend the buck and effort to make a
7D as ideal for reality TV as any of the HD video cameras out there,
what have you gained?"

I think you are following a mis-direction from folks talking about
"reality" shooting with these cameras.

The very essence of these cameras is "non-reality" -- that is a film
look. The goal is the "look" that comes from shooting with a
relatively large single chip (minimal DOF) that has tens of megapixels
(allows high luma and chroma rez after de-bayering) through a lens of
your choice -- designed for resolutions much higher than HD resolutions.

The "rig" is only necessary for shooting film style (follow-focus)
where a rig would be used no matter the camera. However, the rig for
these cameras is smaller which has its advantages. Rolling-shutter can
be controlled in film shoots. (I'm using a Canon that shoots 720p30
and uses a 12MP CCD. So not all have rolling shutter artifacts.)

Bottom-line, these are not intended for reality shoots so I'm not sure
how this issue even got going. When folks talk about B roll they are
thinking of the A camera being film or cine-HD.

Mixing film looking video (B roll) with the HD video reality shows are
now shooting would not be done unless for a creative effect. For
example, shots from "back home" or a preview of the luxury hotel they
get to overnight in if the win a challenge. In other words, a non-
reality look.

PS: Low light shoots might be another use of the large chip camcorders.
