There seems to be a thread on each type of camera, so I thought I would add one :-)

That thing takes some nice video for being that cheap! The question is, why would you shoot with this if you have a 5D and 7D :-)

You wouldn't, unless it was given to you to write an article about using if for stock. :-)

I dream of the day when I'm given products to test and write articles about...

I was hoping for one of these.

Didn't make the cut and got the flip HD.

Haha, nice.

Actually, I'm currently working on my senior film project at Cal State University Northridge, and ARRI awarded our group the "ARRI PROJECT", which is a rental of a free ARRI 35mm film camera (and a prime/zoom lens set), 10,000ft of film, processing, the DI, and more... They had offered us to use the D-21 (or another one of their new Digital cams) but our Director of Photography and Director wanted to go with film cam since some shots in the film required rolling the camera at 120fps, (which turned out beautifully). I'm so lucky, since I am in charge of Sound Design on this film!

!!! Thats really cool, I briefly used an arri 16mm and an old konvas camera. When working with other people. Except I think something was broken inside because it was pretty loud when the electric motor was turning..??? Fortunately it had a hand crank option (it was old.) I think I prefer digital.

I like putting the mic on a stand right next to someone in a scene, and digitally removing the mic in AE :)

WOW, you get the cool points here.
I would love to have the opportunity to do something like that.
