Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Space Jam! It's your chance, do your dance. Today's movie is...

That's funny, I'm a huge baseball guy and this movie isn't really appealing to me.

I don't know every bit of technical jargon but I understand it well enough, so I hope I can explain it well enough too.

If you get a camera with a different mount (e.g. Canon EF Mount) in the future, you won't be able to adapt M4/3 lenses to it. For one thing, the sensor will probably be larger than a M4/3 sensor and those lenses wouldn't cover the whole thing, and you'd get some serious vignetting.

The main reason though is the flange distance (distance between mount and sensor) of the M4/3 system. I don't know what cameras this diagram depicts but let's call the top one a 7D and the bottom one a GH2. That's basically how the distances compare, because M4/3 cameras don't have a mirror taking up so much space between the lens and the sensor.

A lens made for a certain mount is designed for the particular flange distance of that mount. If the lens is set at the wrong distance from the sensor, the focal distance will be out of whack. If you hold a M4/3 lens up to a Canon 7D, since the lens is positioned too far out you probably won't be able to focus further than a few inches. It's like using a macro extension tube.

So, if you're planning on holding on to your lenses after switching to a camera with a different mount, don't buy M4/3 lenses. The thing is though, if you're gonna invest in a different lens system, you're gonna have to know which mount your future camera will have. That's the tricky part of this mess.

In my opinion, Canon hasn't shown a lot of promise lately in terms of consumer/prosumer video quality, but their EF Mount is also the most widely used in the video world. So since everybody already has EF lenses, companies that want to make a camera but don't have their own lens systems are likely to use EF if their sensor is bigger than M4/3 (case in point, Blackmagic). Plus you can also adapt EF lenses to Sony E Mount cameras. So that's why Canon is a solid choice. But hey, Nikon also seem to be stepping up their game too, though they still don't even make a dedicated video camera (yet). Sony are trying with their Alpha mount, but I think they know E-Mount is their future, which is out of the question for a M4/3 camera owner since that flange distance is even shorter, and there aren't a lot of E-mount lenses out there yet anyway.

But hey, you could always just sell your lenses when you want to upgrade... Or just commit to using M4/3 cameras forever because you light like a champ and shallow DoF is for hipsters!

Wow. I am sorry if you read all that nonsense. Quite the ramble.

TL;DR - No. Sure.

Is it solid at room temp?

The new Freefly "MōVI." Vincent Laforet calls it a game changer.

I'm sorry guys. I just don't get why everyone's so crazy about Jennifer Lawrence...

Teague, you just had to mention the Sandlot 4th of July scene! Now I can't stop humming the Ray Charles version of America the Beautiful.

I'm slightly embarrassed at this, I worked at an Under Armour store for a few years.

I've got 20 minutes left. Home stretch.

The first score I really ever noticed wast The Rock (Zimmer). I was in 6th grade and we had it on VHS. I watched that movie so many times. I remember playing viola in my school orchestra and was wishing we could play that theme.

Awesome, can't wait to see this.
