Why We Are Thoroughly Embarrassed to Be Shooting Video with DSLRs

Someone on the internet made fun of the author, and the author rebuts this by saying that he gets paid to do it.

Who cares?

It looks like the disruptor doesn't like being disrupted. While Jannard is taking years to get Scarlet right, his "worse is better" competitors Canon, Nikon, and Panasonic are eating his market out from under him.

Here's Jannard's original rant: http://reduser.net/forum/showpost.php?p=615431&postcount...

Take a look at the 54-59 second mark on this video:

Look at the chest area of the guy wearing a striped shirt to the right of girl in shorts. You'll notice the stripes look weird and are morphing. It's referred to as aliasing as well.

No...someone with a very good product which they have been promising will become the New Industry Standard did not make fun of, but rather trashed the professionalism of everyone who is getting stuff done with alternative products that are technically somewhat inferior but also much cheaper and more accessible.

It's a seismic shift in the video industry, comparable to the shift away from mainframes to COTS.

For an alternative take on why DSLR video is fine for large Hollywood productions but not for amateur use:
