Hi everyone,
I went to Photokina 3 days ago, and I saw really interresting things there.
First HDSLR:
Canon 60D. : No real innovations, it's like 550d/rebel t2i 's big brother (or maybe 7d's little sister). But the smart thing for video use was the moving rearscreen that missed on the 7d. That should be really nice to use with a Zacuto Z finder, directly on the left of the camera).
Sony Alpha 33/55 look like pretty (inexpensive) toys. The image on a 30" screen was great by the way. But the amazing thing about it was the autofocus in video mode ! Hyper reactive, more than many amateur small camcorders i've tried. There they made fantastic job.
But the star is certainly the nikon d7000:
It is not set as pro gear, but you'll find (almost) everything a pro camera as to get (well more concerning certain aspects). They just grown well up with this model making my D300S obsolete. This was a surprise ! Nikon d7000 ROCKS (his mother and sister) !
For lenses, I will remember the new nikon AFS 35mm 1.4. A bit too expensive to me (around 2000€) but incredible quality lens to come out soon!
Finally, was happy to see-touch-try to steal but was arrested by the cops- Zeiss cp2 primes set. They are heavy, they are quality built, they are shining-even-in-the-dark and producing wonderful images attached to the 5dmkII . They'll look fine on Epic/Scarlet !:emote_hippie:
I only stayed there less than 3 hours so couldn't see everything I wished, but if others have great news from there, don't hesitate.
