@ntblowz Nice! Interesting to see the photographer was on a R6. Looks like although its a Canon sponsored event, you were using your own gear? Was the R5/C70 footage shot in standard, log or RAW?

i m on clog 1 ( the only choice on R5) the other guy on c70 use clog2?  Yeah there is a Canon stand which you can borrow gear n lens but i m just using my own 24-105 and 70-300 II on my R5.

I m curious how will it fare vs Samsung's GN2 1/1.12" (0.89") sensor.

Video for the skateboard is out, this one is mixture of C70 and R5 footage.

Stacked sensors means better low light? 

Means faster readout, it is different to BSI tech

Much less rolling shutter I presume?

So DJI is finally jumping on the the fpv wagon, I m definitely tempted as the price is similar to the DIY racing drones here. I thinking buying DJI care is a must with this drone as it is more easier to crash than other dji drones with such high speed. 

How many of you are thinking to get one?

And she is not rich, she also runs into funding problem too like most of us do.

This is actually hilarious.  "Chloe" comes from a rich, well-connected Beijing family; they sent her abroad, to London, for high school.  And the idea that recent film school grads with no credits can raise money as long as they're not Chinese and female, is too ridiculous for words.

Even worse, this guy is bragging that she's doing a Marvel(!) movie.  This, from a director with zero action picture experience.  If not for racism, I guess they would have hired her right out of film school.  Life is so unfair! 

 

I guess the same could be say for Taika Waititi, because he is not white and have no experience in big budget action movie?  Though they both got hired for having the better pitch idea than other directors who applied the job.

Becoming the next Nomadland? 😉

Ran across this article on dp calling out Quentin regarding digital cinema, he and Chole are certainly an interesting pair to look out for.

So you can power the cam a day long with a 20000ma PD Powerbank ?

How do you like the RF 35 on the R5 ?

Gonna be using it tomorrow for a livestreaming samoan/white wedding, there will be lots of performers for the reception from different families. Theoretically 20000mah 3.7v is around 4x more power than 2130mah 7.2v so if 4k last 1.5 hours on battery it should last 6 hours? (could be less due to conversion) 

I like the RF35 for stills, for video I use Sigma 35 1.4 with VND adapter, work really good.

The RF 35 lives on my R6 (as the EF adapter is back-ordered due to the Canon factory fire). I've come to really appreciate this lens as it is quite compact, versatile, sharp, aberration free and has macro & IS. For the price it's killer, I like it so much I'm thinking of adding the RF 85 1.8 Macro IS.

RF 85mm F2 IS is pretty good, I have it and love it! The macro make it a more versatile lens than normal 85mm lens.

Btw if you got powerbank that supply 45W PD it can power the camera without drainig camera battery, but you still need a battery inside the camera.  The R and RP can only be charged (with PD) but not power on.

This will pair up nicely with S5 for sure!

One of my friend is thinking jumping from ursa mini pro/gh5s to fx6/fx3 combo, but prores raw is the biggest downside since he use da vinci exclusively.

Sony NPF-570 is normally around 2200-2600mah, Blackmagic managed to squeeze 3500mah on that form factor! That is 50% more capacity

My business is weddings. Destinations weddings as in I live in France and they come to France for their wedding.

 

Man I hope you will get through this, I m pretty sure 2022 will be a massive rebound for the world.

Corporate event videos is down a lot vs the year prior

Normal corp/promo video is slightly down but within margins, got some jobs from Oz cause they couldn't come here to shoot.

Some other event videos (like concert) get caught up by the sudden lockdown (lost one last week cause of that).

Though I got a lot of livestreaming video jobs on my side, atm 50% of my side job is livestreaming, we got some livestreaming for the company but was ok, but yeah I am busy from jan til april this year.. booked almost every weekend, much more busier than last year which is a surprise to me lol

The only thing that is keeping me from switching to Sony is their awful noise reduction/sharpening. 

Yeah, I wonder if FX3 will have control on that.

I m defintely in the market for FX3 and C50, a small portable cine camera with build in screen and af, dont really care about still capability much.

The rumor is the A1 sensor which also does 4k 120 same as the R5. Makes sense as they already have the A7s3. But that would beg the question what differentiates it from the A1

Wasn't that the rumor said it have 8k in the first place? If it doesnt have 8k then most likely will be using a7s3 sensor? And photog really want their EVF! No mechanical shutter will be a put off too if they go with internal VND

Music video I did back then is finally released, that took quite a while!

The ventilation on the side should definitely help with any overheating problem.

The zoom rokker on the shutter is pretty nice for pz lens

I am sold with 4K 120fps too : ) Hey BTW you R5 people, what about the workaround to overcome timers, is it working fine with zero hassles?

Yesterday I was shooting bowl jam all day using mix of 4k25/50/100p, i didn't get the overheating warning but I did get down to 5 min, so for last grand final I did the reset trick (with v1.2 firmware) and worked. Weatherwise it got some patch of clouds so not boiling hot but still hot as it is the hottest month down here. 

I think that will be the same sensor as the Sharp 8K cam?

Phones with uw/wide/tele is satisfying most of people's use, now i dont even care those 10x zooms 1" DC when my phone can do it too lol.

Some quick photo while waiting for the next shoot on mobile phone.

Ugh our US broker informed us they are halting buying share of GME/AMC/NOK until further notice, but you can still sell, so I guess Oz/NZ is out GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Those institute is bloody corrupted to the core! 🤬

The R6 can shoot oversampled 4K longer (40mn) than the R5 4K HQ (30mn) and I heard the overheating is much better since the last update but yeah once you do overheat the R6 you are locked out of video mode unlike the R5. Also I think the R5 "date hack" doesn't work on the R6 right?

My thinking is I won't be using the R6 for long interviews or anything, mostly short clips and B-cam stuff. But yeah it is hard to know if I will run into being locked out of video mode and when/if that happens it will definitely suck!

You can still do FullHD without problem, just 4k will be locked out i think?
