Hey all, I'm pretty close to squeezing the trigger on a Sigma FP - what are some things I should be looking for when inspecting a used Sigma FP for potential purchase? Like obvious things for me would be signs of irreparable damage to the ports, dead pixels, ensuring the SD slot is in working order, any scratches on the sensor. Anything else though? Particularly things that might be unique to the FP. Thanks in advance! -

Version 8. Changes are: Added CA Added film dirt and damage Added diffusion Less blur I've also added a bunch of fresh images into the reel, so there's a wider range of situations, including more real-world examples. The ones I grabbed from previous trips are exposed with SS so the motion might be off on some of them, so excuse that aspect of it (although having a slightly blurrier image does make this less visible). I also backed off the stabilisation on the shots from the previous reel as I think it hides the gate weave a little and is more how the rig actually shoots. Here are a few before/after images, to get a sense of what it's working with as input and how far it's taking the image. This is the setup used for (most) of the images in the reel.. It's tiny, actually pocketable, fits in the palm of the hand, and the ergonomics are just right. -
To me the zoom is the most significant function here. This is meant to be a walk-around film-the-surroundings camera and my experience is that everyone who rigs a camera for this purpose uses a zoom with pretty significant zoom lens. The biggest con of this is the fact it's a gimbal, and therefore stabilises rotation but not position, leading to the dreaded bobbing movement and foreground parallax errors. These might be my candidate for the least cinematic image attribute of all time (linked to timestamp): This is why gimbals need the fourth axis for walking, and why people don't shoot gimbal shots with any foreground in them. By applying less stabilisation you end up with a more stable looking shot because the stabilisation doesn't call so much attention to itself.

I've never been tempted by one of these smaller pocket gimbals, but the image quality actually looks really nice. It doesn't look over-sharpened or GoPro-like at all. Of course, it's Brandon Li, who can make anything look good. The detachable remote is also really clever. I want my next short to be captured guerilla-style in the city. I was originally considering the hacked EOS-M, but this has me re-thinking my strategy. I just really wish it had a mic input so that I could capture timecode.
