DSLR filmmakers - any thoughts on which camera to invest in for near enough cinema quality filmmaking?

Oh, and about the DSLRs vs BMPCC, I think it's hard to compare, for the reason dslrs are 35mm, BMPCC is 16mm. And depends if you use CINE lenses on each one as well, as opposed to…

Hi Shooters,

Anyone know where I can obtain, free/buy, information about book sales/readership/statistics? Fiction only.

Have you tried Publisher's Weekly. They're the publication that lists books and reviews. If they don't actually list the figures I'm sure they can tell you where to get them.

I think this would mainly go to the Film Directors/Producers with this, but where do you normally go to look for stills photographers for your films if you ever do?

I have done …
