Them sitting there in that empty room knee to knee discussing something to the viewers to themselves was so fucking akward.

This is excellent! Thankyou very much for doing this. I wonder if you could tell us what picture style's you used for the Canon DSLR's? I haven't seen 2011's shootout yet but i'm hoping that Technicolour's Cinistyle picture style is mentioned as it holds ALOT more latitude then the other pictures styles!
