Shane Hurlbut, ASC, on Why the Canon C500 Is His Go-to Camera | Studio Daily
Canon is trying to create one frame, 24 times. Everyone else is trying to create 24fps [footage]. It's a completely different methodology. I have gravitated toward the Canon platform more than any other camera system. It emulates film exactly how I know it and how it lives and breathes in my soul.
