With all of the new cameras coming out right now, I just don’t feel it’s the right time for a major investment. I would like to see how things shake out .. So I decided to buy an Atomos Ninja 2 to extend the life of some of my older cameras and still give me broadcast quality. And like brandon, I got a Sony Rx100.. Great little camera and super cheap! When I have the budget, I rent better cameras, but I really prefer to work with gear I am comfortable with .. It’s always stressful learning a new rig on set with a client.

I’ve been using the Sony compact camera RX100 for a lot of my C camera work. It fills in the gaps nicely if I need a wide shot, macro shot, or a stealth angle in guerilla shooting environments. The video quality is up to par with any mid-range DSLR; it just doesn’t have quite as shallow DOF. I’ve done a lot of blogging about it on my site rungunshoot.com.
