Alan, yes, I noticed a big difference when lowering gain.

Todd, if you’re not busy that would be great! Thanks

Thanks again T2

Your advice is so helpful.

You’re right, it feels kind of barbaric to have the camera, adapter and then lens. I am hesitant to slightly move my camera in fear of it all coming apart. It’s just not practical.

I’m gonna stick with my gut and your advice and skip on the DSLR.

If you wouldn’t mind, could you give me some specific examples of big-sensor video cameras that you find worthy of purchasing?

Again I really appreciate your insight

Thank you so much for the detailed response, I really appreciate it.

I had one person tell me on another site that I should ditch my 2 Canon XH-A1’s and try a DSLR.

I think OVERALL (when I bought the adapter) I was trying to achieve Shallow DoF without having to zoom in like crazy and also to get a richer “film look” in what I was filming. I am not a pro, but I know what I like and I’ve tried to do the research to figure out how to get there.

I might end up just selling everything and going for a whole new set of camera and lenses but there are so many mixed reviews.. I’m lost on what to do!

OR should I just stick with the cameras and adapters that I have and get a nicer lenses? Really not sure.

Do you have any lenses in mind that you think would do the trick?
What are your thoughts on DSLR’s for video?

Thanks man!

Collin
