Hi!
I'm a 600D user (with ML) for 2 years now.
I'm into making films,
I'm quite satisfied with the codec, it's almost enough for me when I use a flat profile..
But I can't afford lighting mostly and I mostly shoot indoors,
so I was basically always looking for faster glass all the time.
I know it might irritate people but this is the only place I can think of sharing this and discussing thoroughly..
The lenses I currently own:
SMC Takumar 50mm/1.4 (RADS RADS EVERYWHERE!!! XD) - Which is my fastest, but too short for indoors.
Sigma 17-50mm 2.8 VC - My all around lens because it's my only fast wide-angle one, with time this feels very limited
Canon 55-250mm IS II - Usable only in sunlight... (got with the camera, too)
Canon 18-55mm IS (non USM) - kit... too dark, too. (too many "too"s)
Glass gets expensive (for me 100$ is A LOT of money...) with my need of low light performance,
as I already invested in canon-compatible glass.
I see the GH4 and just jealous; I can't afford it, nor the Metabones, nor its little brother the G7...
I know getting performance means getting the money out of my pocket,
but I start thinking that investing hundreds of dollars in glass, just to compensate 600D's sensor,
is a waste.
Should I have upgraded the body prior to buying the 17-50? (which is why I don't have spare money for a year now..)
I'm tired of chasing fast used lenses at bargain prices... (f2.8 is the minimum for me atm)
Currently 3 projects I tried making, got to the point where I sit in front of the editing program and curse the hellish noise in the videos
Please prove me wrong... What solutions do you think are available with no budget?
-I just want to discuss this topic of $$$-vs-Low Light and Video Quality
-I'll probably stay with my 600D until times get better, and I'll keep using ML, maybe wiser if you'll suggest things
