DSLR video is rubbish compared to this cinema camera!
If it were a Nikon mount I'd be purchasing one.
Thanks for sharing.

Saying that, I'd have one

I just don't understand why anyone should want to shoot video with a DSLR. A £50, 20yr old VHS video camera of ebay has a better auto focus system.I just don't get it at all.:bang::bonk:
Very little if any professional video is shot with autofocus.

this.remember that just 3 years ago they were running comparison videos between the 5d2 and the ex-1 and going crazy over the IQ of the 5d2, all of a sudden it is completely unacceptable IQ and looks like total ass
By no means impossible. Just takes practice. Camera operators at football games have very long lenses and still manually focus...
Considering my about to upgrade to a D800 for film, I think I might look into the BMCC. Could be a better option.

All cameramen I know run manual everything on a video camera.

image quality if you compare footage taken with a DSLR to camcorder you will see
Yeah, your camcorder will look like video and your DSLR will be aliasing like mad and adding moire patterns.
