@jessemillerman do any of the canon XF-series have removable lenses? what about panasonic AVCCam series (excluding AF100, cuz i know that particular cam has removable lenses)?

Can someone explain color spaces to me? Please?...please...

[jessemillerman]

@AgentJuly19903

color space is a ratio of information.

in a "4:2:2" color space, you have 4 units of information in the green colorspace, 2 units in red, and 2 units in blue.

4:4:4 color space has quadruple the amount of information, because there is double the red info and double the blue info.

i am not certain the nature of 4:2:0 colorspace, which is EXTREMELY prevalent (in the XDCAM EX, NXCAM, AVCHD, and AVCCAM)

i know there is blue data, so i don't get the zero, but i'm working on it.

Hmm, some people say there is an annoying delay from the zoomring to the actual zooming due to its not mechanically changing the focal length but instead its telling the zoom motor where to zoom, why is that? That makes fast zooming really hard.

@JesperA86 you can always put it in manual and rack the zoom at your desired speed
