    What type of lenses do you guys use? What lens would you recommend for keeping things in focus for as long as possible ? I currently have a 18-105mm Nikon and my camera is a D7000. I notice very often that my video ends up being very softly out of focus when moving away from my area of focus even at 18mm, obviously DSLR’s do not have auto focus but for example, when you guys had the camera on the jib and were moving how did you maintain a clear focus on your subjects? follow focus? certain lens?

    about the transcoding part : you say that transcoding from H264 to another format can ‘fix’ some of the detail that was lost during the encoding to H264.
    i dont beleive that’s correct. what’s lost is lost.
    (when using ProRes you keep more detail, but it’s also a lossy compression method, so even there you lose detail)

    If only the director of let me in had heard this guys opinion on depth of film… wouldve helped that movie a bit.

    Stop moving the camera back and forth, Mr. Camerman! Leave it still on that tripod!

    Hey tony, what do you think about the panasonic af100? It seem to be a good compromise between video and DSLR.

    Shouldn’t these videos be entitled HD DSLR and not just H DSLR? Then it would be High Definition Digital Single Lens Reflex…

    I don’t know if this is true but heard that the 29 Minute limit (e.g. when shooting 720p) was due to import restrictions. If the SDLR allowed to record longer than that (just like a regular video camera) then they would be classified as video cameras and thus have additional import duties imposed upon them. I wouldn’t put it past our legislatures to have written this into our import laws.
