Experienced video people or still photogs trying to keep an income stream? From what I've seen, most of this stuff is for people that don't want to go to the trouble of buying pro video gear and learning how to use it. But what do I know? The last time I was involved with this stuff, I used a 16mm Bell & Howell spring wound camera. Them were the days.

These are professionals. So I image there are reasons for their choice of gear and technique have root in results from repeated practice. What I don't know about video you could put in a large book. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/ > From: Chris Crawford <chris at chriscrawfordphoto.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 19:27:33 -0500 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Two pro video guys using Canon DSLR to shoot Art > Opening > > Agreed, Sonny.
