  RE: Is Canon C100 MKII a good choice?
  Indeed Martin, From the looks of it it's quite an high-end scratchable thing not designed for rough ENG use. Which most Sony's and Canon's are. I probably would only use this for high-end feature stuff. Are you sure about the XLR input being one?

  RE: problematic green screen with XAVC-S
  Give Fusion from Blackmagic Design a try. It has a learning curve but the chroma keyer in it is far better than the one in Vegas. Did I mention that it's free :) p.s. an unaltered image (i.e. sitting in front of the green screen) would be best for

  RE: SOT - How to stream live from a camera?
