I do love the 5N, but this improves on almost all the aspects of it. Couple that with wifi built-in and editing apps, plus upload to social networking, and this could become the coolest way to instantly post photos to these places. Great quality, way better than phones&#8230;still an extra thing to carry around though and with the dispassionately zero update to the iPhone 5 camera I am damn tempted by this&#8230;although I would prefer Android OS in it&#8230;there are some compacts popping up with this in it. Exciting times, and it might start making people use &#8220;proper&#8221; cameras more. I myself am guilty of taking a photo of something with my iPhone first so I can upload it then taking the 5Dmk3 version, despite it being around my neck.

Should you buy any of them? Well if you have a camera and are happy with it then no&#8230;but this is GREAT for competition and will mean Canon will have to respond with a budget full frame camera, and we should start seeing full frame pro video cameras soon. There never has been a better time to be filmmaker. We are being offered amazing tools at affordable prices, like the BlackMagic Camera and even the Canon C100&#8230;initially disappointed by it, but after holding it and playing with it at IBC I&#8217;m pretty impressed. It feels so small and ergonomically lovely. I saw Sebastien Devaud&#8217;s promo film there, and the image is great! Still bloody wished it had 60p!!<\/p>\n<p>Always use the best tool you can afford and never overstretch yourself. You can make great films with almost any camera as long as you have the content &#8211; a better camera will simply make your images look better (if skill is behind the camera) with a better tool.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"360\" data-src=\"http:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/49083326?portrait=0&amp;color=ffffff\" width=\"640\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/49083326\">JUST C IT !
