Please do not post about expensive gear any more .. That's a proper divorce-reason :) "oh ... that one ... yeah, I have it for a loong time ... didn't I mention?" :)

Video killed the photography star?

To be able to pull those micro expressions from video - WHOA.

Would it be easier to add markers while filming as reference points to where you believe you got the shot? I'm sure there is a button somewhere on that 80k beast to add functionality such as that.

My gut feeling is it's a no-brainer. Right now the new Canon and Nikon DSLR's are most all shooting video, except for maybe the really, really cheap ones? What's left to think about? In the film days, and it's not far off now… the high-end bodies shot almost half the speed the Red is shooting now from just pure snaps of the shutter or fps. Now with "video" and stills meeting in the middle on these high-end DSLR's it is all but done. The only thing remaining is Lightroom, Photoshop and the rest to tweak what it does for video, and Lightroom already imports video. And, of course the memory. I know we don't want to edit 7000 frames or watch hours of video to "pull-out" the great shots, but I think fast scanning will get you close then you can click frame by frame. Moreover, when taking the shots, you don't have to sit and hold the button for a solid ten minutes, I would suspect it would be like a body with a wicked fast motor-drive, you just hold her down for 5 or 10 seconds, stop, give some direction and start again. Yup, I think it's right around the corner… then it's going to be the bank account that separates the men from the boys (and the iPhone photographers, I guess...) ~ like it used to be. : )

Wow cool. i don't mind wich is better. As you say the workflow is for sure to big actual. but we will see whats happen in the next three Years. but it will definitly not kill us, because the coaching is harder on video (as you see "don't look at me :)") so it will be no longer 90percent coaching. it will be going up to 95% or something.

Cool video

I can see how everyone can get a little discombobulated during a photo shoot. I guess it's all new and with time it could be an amazing tool. Great Video and comparison.

This makes me sad. I will always be behind the curve here. I am planning to buy a medium format in 2 - 3 years. When that happen I will still be behind the rest, because people will start jumping into this new technology.

Hi Fidel,
It is no such things as behind the curve, you do what you do, just enjoy the moment and moment, be in the action the rest it is B S . All of us as a human being making up the stuff in our head and it is not really out there in the real world. Enjoy the day and take some shots

This was just a little fun test we did. Started the conversation anyway. I think it's a long way off until this gets to the average pro photographer. Way too much work to try to run an efficient business. It's funny how fired up people are getting though.
