am not a canon man, but I think the XL H1 is HD and goes for 9K as the XL1 and the new XL2 is just SD and goes for 4K
and 24p and full manual is a most for anything

 

nothing wrong with being old school i guess. Kubrick was pretty much old school in terms of camera works.... "Barry Lyndon" for example.
in "full metal jacket" there were tons of steadycam camera works.

 

I believe Kubrick never really cared for steadicams, but he was smart enough to realize you have to use it for a film like full metal and he pulled it off perfect.

I like the scene where he follows the kid on a bike though the hall, in "the shining", that was a badass scene

Scenes like the opening shot in "Barry Lydon" where 4 guys(?) on a hill about to dual. The camera is still and allows you to get the entire image , every move the actors make is to benefit the composition.

To me that how movies should be shot, like they were in the 50s-70s versus today where the camera doing tricks and the actors walk around with free will

 

well, i guess you must be a big fan of the late great film director sergio leone who shot his film with his trademark longest takes, very wide steady cover shots and extremely steady closeups.

 

yeah, like "the good the bad and the ugly" where he does the trademark, extreme wide of a man in a distance, to a extreme close up to the mans face. That is very stylized without breaking the rules. Plus it simply kicks ***

To me directors like to break the rules, just to do it. There nothing wrong with breaking rules, but only if you understand them fully and deem it necessary to, and even then you should try to avoid it
