A shoulder mount, viewfinder, and some way of pulling focus will help you get better shots. Since you have to manually focus, which is what most pro videographers do anyways, if you're going to move around it's very helpful to make it more like a video camera. That's where the extra equipment comes in. Here's a link for a review of Zacuto's rig for doing all the above:<a href="http://digalogue.com/2009/03/06/bling-for-your-canon-5d-mark-ii/" rel="nofollow"> http://digalogue.com/2009/03/06/bling-for-your-canon-5d-mark-ii/</a> Zacuto also has a great video putting DSLRs up against a feature film camera. It's pretty amazing.<a href="http://www.zacuto.com/shootout" rel="nofollow"> http://www.zacuto.com/shootout</a> cheers, Jim It’s fine for that, but it helps to buy some additional equipment.
