Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Canon DSLR Metadata?

Thanks Oliver
I would never spend that kind of money on a shooting rig and that is not my bread and butter. I know they are getting cheaper and maybe an inexpensive rig would be fun to work with. Its a fun camera to try the pro bono stuff on and to experiment with. But for the real jobs, I will continue to hire shooters who are willing to pay the big bucks for this stuff while I put my money into post and my kids college fund.
