The dilemma is, there are not many full frame 4K cameras with both great AF and great color. The Sigma Fp is great for the price though and really a company I can support. Engineering led Not bullshit led The Sony A9 used is worth a look, funnily enough I find it has the most mojo of the Sony cameras and the 4K image is incredibly detailed, and great AF. I prefer it to A7 III even though the latter is cheaper and has S-LOG. Panasonic also worth a look, but AF is still a bit of a handicap. Looking at G9 improvements though with firmware 2.4 that'll soon be a thing of the past?

Premiere Pro - it's hot garbage at the moment!
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
It also depends what problem you're referring to. If it's the crushed blacks and clipped highlights then that can also be a hardware acceleration issue in Premiere. If it is Canon LOG 10bit 422 from the R5 and R6 (and 1D X Mark III) not playing-back smoothly in Premiere then that's a separate issue and means the decoding of H.265 is being done the slow way. -

Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
It doesn't apply to ProRes. This is a H.264/H.265 thing -
It's absolutely superb glass and with build quality like that for 998 you should take not one but two 🙂

I take a look at what's been going on in cameras this week, with some thoughts on the GFX 100, EOS R6, Panasonic S1H and other "goings-on". Caution: some strong(ish) language. For more on my Hasselblad adventures see my review of the H3D II with HUGE Kodak CCD sensor here (past article): https://www.eoshd.com/review/guide-buying-cheap-hasselblad-medium-format-camera/

I like the way they took "designed" out. So it is not designed by Canon? I like the way they took "manufactured" out. So it is not manufactured by Canon? Developed could mean anything. I don't like the Petapixel article, it seemed to get hooked up on the fact I am "salacious" and stating stuff as fact which everybody knows is lawyer speak. So you have to wonder what the writer's real intention is with this piece, and whether he got in touch with Canon purely to drag my name through the muck with their legal department.

Why Gerald Undone is wrong about the Sigma Fp-L
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Yeah, the image quality is better than A7S III too. OK, there's no 4K/120p (or 100fps for us in PAL land) but you can do a lot of creative stuff with 60p in 4K and 180fps in HD. 60p can easily be Twixtor'd. I'd prefer if it looked a little more cinema camera and less Lumix but the ergonomics are superb. Colour is better than Sony too. For manual focus, tripod and handheld cinematic shooting there is nothing better for the price and size, I'd take it over Blackmagic's shit any day. -

Yes in some versions I believe it does. -

Why Gerald Undone is wrong about the Sigma Fp-L
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Yeah the S5 is there really to compete with the Sony A7 III, offering better video quality for same price or lower. The S1H is where the real interest is for me -
Here you can clearly see the reason I got the H3D-II 39 megapixel Kodak beast. Brightened it up a bit so you can see the sensor size vs GFX 100... It is "only 39 megapixel" but that is enough for me. I have found my affair with the GFX 100 a bit financially draining and exhausting to be honest! Who the fuck buys a 10 grand camera 1 month before a global pandemic?

Woman finds out man having affair with 7 medium format cameras. "As if one wasn't bad enough!" The self confessed gear slut started dating a Pentax 645D and his fascination grew from there. "He was away in the evenings pointing his zoom at birds, I knew something was up!" If you read the quotes in the monty python faux-lady voice it works better...

Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
I find Panasonic are leading the entire field when it comes to actually seeing the image you are shooting. The brightest and best screens. The biggest EVFs. (Well, apart from the S5) -
If you want to continue to eat, consider the Pentax 645D and stick to CCD stills! https://www.mpb.com/en-uk/used-equipment/used-photo-and-video/used-digital-medium-format-cameras/pentax-645d/sku-1129519/

MPB have it cheaper! https://www.mpb.com/en-uk/used-equipment/used-photo-and-video/used-digital-medium-format-cameras/used-hasselblad-medium-format-cameras/hasselblad-h6d-100c/sku-1213921/ Put the wallet away and stand back from the screen 🙂

I wouldn't be surprised if C70 and Komodo had a very similar Canon sensor.

I'm waiting 10 years for it to come down to £2k like my Hassy H3D II with Kodak CCD sensor larger than GFX 100 🙂
