Ive used video light for prewedding shoot before at Cameron. It was my friends gear & idea. We were not using LED lights, back then still dont have yet (maybe), we use actual sony video lights which was warmer color. Had a dial to adjust the intensity. Very directional and very good results, only thing is the halogen heats up real fast and real hot. For a noob like me who didnt know much about flash or gels, it gave fantastic results.

hello..im newbie in dslr..can i know did i should put a silica gel to into my dslr bag to keep it dry or not? =)

it only works if there is a lot and your bag is air tight. invest in a large dry box, dont keep your camera + lens in camera bag. They tend to grow mold.

not trying to sell canon in nikon page, n not a fanboy like u smile.gif

that's what u heard, not what u tried/experienced..that's what we tried/experienced. u meant magic lantern? y not u borrow ur fren's canon n try it. see the noise levels, live view zooming, aperture settings perhaps? just giving out my thoughts as i thought it wud help the guy smile.gif

Im shooting videos w/ 5dmk2 / 7D.. currently testing to see if our new d600 video can fit in our workflow or not. But Canon live view zooming is really way better than Nikons. And the best part for me is ability to load custom picture styles for flat video. Gonna real world test the d600 tonite wink.gif wish me luck!

I'm new to video, kinda interested to know what's the differences in terms of live view zooming between the Canon and say, D600/D800?
*
from my previous experience w/ othere nikon DSLR video , live view zooming, not dat accurate or maybe I was holding in wrong blink.gif but on 5dm2 or 7D, its always dead on accurate MF on zoomed LV mode

QUOTE(Tony Stark @ Nov 16 2012, 11:19 AM)
honestly, i use live view zooming to get precise focusing. on a D800, the live view auto focusing is SUPERB. but when it comes to zoom > manual focusing, even the 60D can win due to screen lagness. and i use alot of zoom > manual focusing when it comes to video sweat.gif

good luck! i've tried to D600's video and it seems good enough. just that one thing i have to complaint..why i cannot set the aperture in live view?? huhu me so sad sad.gif other than that, the video quality is nice. and being able to use FX and DX in video mode also is a nice feature thumbup.gif
*
Canot set aperture in live view mode? sweat.gif I still not yet get my hands on the baby FX, my partner still dun wanna lemme have a go at it yet haha! im more interested in video on d600, photo wise we all know its really sweet with spot on metering and excellent exposure control. I wanna try some DX fisheye video on the d600 lol

nikon does have it, but not as good as canon's. its minor really if one is not doing lots of video works, but if one does, then it can be a bit more than just minor.
nope, i meant the aperture value in live view smile.gif u need to turn off the live view to change the aperture. but from the post above, it seems that nikon is working on a new firmware so that's a good thing.
as we all know, the nikon's WB is a bit warmer than canon's. that's a non issue but if ur aligning the WB precisely, its better off to get an external monitor so that the value n color renders correctly. take note that im using K in any situation for video. as for the full HD output, the D600 is pretty amazing on the blacks and highlights. but i stupidly get flickers on it sometimes (this one due to user problem). low light, D600 wins. but i rarely use it in low light. if we had to, then large aperture lenses will come in play so means no crazy high iso is needed. in terms of sharpness, to my eyes, the canon is abit sharper. its a none issue.

this is just my opinion, and yes the D600 records pretty amazing video. just that i have to say the laggy zoom in live view n the fact that i cant change the aperture in live view turns me off. but hey, that's just me. oh ya, and the oil n dusts leak to the sensor prob as well sad.gif

for those who bought a D600 for video n stills, its one hell of a camera smile.gif

tats a bit DUUUHHH canot adjust aperture in lv mode =_=

So a quick review of the d600 video.. lags when zoomed in to focus in live view mode. Then cant really tell if its focused or not, better not zoomed in. LOVE the record button position... more tests need to be done..
