DSLR News Shooter | Nathan Mauger explains his unorthodox way of shooting with the C300 for his new documentary The People’s Republic of Love (Part two)

DSLR News Shooter | Nathan Mauger explains his unorthodox way of shooting with the C300 for his new documentary The People’s Republic of Love (Part two) | VideoDrome | Scoop.it

The Canon 5D mkII changed my life. Before that I’d been a news and documentary shooter shooting on a full-sized ENG camera. When I first started shooting with DSLRs it was hard for me to quickly get a lot of shots when using a tripod. The depth of field is really shallow, there was no way to monitor the image properly because of the silly 480p stretched HDMI output on the 5D mkII, and it lacks focus peaking.

diglloyd blog - Why an Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) is Not Really Optional

diglloyd blog - Why an Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) is Not Really Optional | VideoDrome | Scoop.it

With the trend to high quality compact cameras, there is a glaring flaw in many designs: the lack of a viewfinder, namely an electronic viewfinder variant (EVF).

There are optical viewfinders slotting into the hot shoe on some cameras, but they are costly for good optics, crude for composing, make it guesswork to place the AF sensor precisely, and are without parallax correction or diopter correction or any display of settings. An EVF is a vastly better solution and the discussion below continues with EVF as the goal.

The lack of an EVF degrades versatility significantly for image making.
