Philip,

Thanks for providing great information on DSLRs and all the other cameras you review. Before I found your site I was completely in the dark about what the different camera’s capabilities were. I still haven’t made a decision on what to buy but at least I know what I’m looking for now.

Your critiques are fair and full of useful information and don’t pander to the fanboys of any platform.

I look forward to another year of great reviews, blogs, and film projects you share on your site.

Bob

Hello Phillip.

I just wanted to chime in as well and say how much your blog/reviews have helped me shoot and choose products. I truly believe you are one of the most fair/unbiased reviewers out in the cyber world, and I think that shows with the number of hits you get. Not all the information you write about is for me, but I generally still read it as you write so well. Thanks and please keep up the great work.

Yup, just as I suspected…. Mr. Bloom is in the pocket of Big Zacuto.
Kidding of course. Truth is that without your guidance and insight, my career wouldn’t be possible.

Phil,

I’ve been a follower for nearly two years…I went to your meet up in San Francisco & Santa Monica and also attended your class held this year in Hollywood.

The information on this blog helped me through my first documentary on the EX1/ Letus Ultimate and also through my latest documentary on 5D/7D. Without this guidance, I wouldn’t have insight into the gear I need or the inspiration to go out produce films with little to no crew.

I just re-read your ethics statement and could not believe some of the negative comments that have flooded in. All I can say is this – Keep doing what your doing, keep inspiring people to tell stories. Guys like you, Vincent, Shane, & Chase are positively influencing image-makers across the globe. Don’t stop.

To the trolls…you know who you are and we know what your about. Good luck on your way to the middle. I’ll keep enjoying watching guys like Phil ride to the top.

Recently turned onto your thoughts, skills and sharing of knowledge, I’ve found a resource to get this whole DSLR thing working for me. Coming from a quarter century of conventional video production, it is so refreshing to discover ways to do it with smaller and more affordable gear. There is much resourcefulness in the products now being designed and out-of-the-box techniques which result in enhanced creativity!

Your honesty, experience, skill and integrity are welcome additions to the toolkits of video producers. Thank you Philip Bloom!

Hello Philip,

I am glad of having found your blog and along with a little help from some friends I decided on jumping to the 5D revolution !

Being mostly a photographer turned documentalist and comming from P2 and more formal cameras I have found the 5D a delight to use. I have shot a lot of film with both stills as film cams and it does remind me of the look and feel.

I venture to say hello and offer for the fans of DSLR video to have a look at a formal interview just shot for the Ministry of Culture in celebration of the Santo Domingo 1st Mandela Festival.

It worked great, I use it with Nikon, last shot taken with the 14~24mm at 14mm !

Sound was made with a Fostex RF2L and an Oktava 101 mic with hyper capsule.

Should you ever come to the Dominican Republic it will be an honour to show you some top locations.

Regards and thanks for a fantastic blog.

I am new to your blog. Very clear and direct ethics statements, I like this.

“We don’t choose our professions, we are engulfed by them” – someone famous said that. It was on the board when I was in HS school, (I don’t know what the teacher said, but I’ll never forget the visual I saw of this on the board!

any issue with any Zacuto product has a lifetime warrantly. If you had any issues then you should have returned it for a replacement.

The ethics statement is clear. That is why it is there. You should, like anything, always seek out other opinions before believing one review.
