Re: Canon 5D Mark II - first DSLR to film a prime time TV episode

The problem however is most of what comes from Hollywood wont be improved regardless of the equipment that shoots it. In the last 2 years I've watched 5 or 6 really good French/Spainish films from all genres and maybe one half decent Hollywood flick. It seems that the equipment, the SFX and the style of the films are far more important then any form of story, plot or depth of character.
