Re: Does 5D + Magic lantern + Juicedlink pre-amp = audio capture success?

I have to tell you that I do appreciate the passion with which you explain the fluke that is the Canon series of DSLRs. As a wedding photographer for almost two decades, I expressed similar disdain when the digital world started to encroach upon the testosterone of my Bronica SQA. No one could tell me that anything digital could compare to the warmth and realism of my mediaum format film negative. As a teacher I would tell my students things that were eerily similar in tone to your thread comment. I find myself wondering how embarrassed I would be today were I to meet those same students.

Things changed Biill.

Let me know if I have this right. Based on your thoughtful analysis of my predicament, I am stuck with a camera that provides me Vista-Vision equivalent quality, and can purchase/own it all for what it would currently cost me to rent a PanaFlex Panavision camera for just one weekend. And worst case scenario, I can capture the sound separately similar to how the purists have done it for 80 or so years.

Biill, no apology necessary. I think I am in just the place I'd like to be. Here's to lightening striking in the same place twice. Cheers.
