Re: OT: End of Prosumer Camcorders???

[Dave LaRonde] "And finally, the geniuses at Canon set up those cameras to shoot at 30fps. Not Film's 24, not NTSC's 23.976, not PAL's 25, not NTSC's 29.97, but 30. It isn't a natural frame rate for ANYTHING.

So: it makes drop-dead gorgeous pictures, but the camera's hard to operate, it shoots at the wrong frame rate, and you can't easily edit the video. "

I'm going to have to disagree, based on my experience. I haven't switched, but I have worked with it. First, the 5D came out first, so it's strictly 30.00. The 7D which just came out doesn't have any of the issues you're describing. The 30P is 29.97. The 24p is 23.98, and it has 25p (haven't used it). Given that, it isn't a big stretch that either the 5D mkIII or the firmware update will have exactly the same thing.

Second, the raw clips will play in FCP without any rendering or re-encoding, which makes them a lot less trouble than my P2 or somebody's EX-1. You can also us Pro-Res, which is no more trouble than P2, SxS, or AVC.

So, I guess I'll have to ask why you feel this way?
