  1. Well plan for next year for me is try out some 3D (blender or unreal?!) to play with mixed production.

    Also trying to see if I can do livestreaming (with pdf/powerpoint/doc) just on iPad instead of Macbooks.  After seeing my friend's setup I m tempted to go that route lol.

    Camera wise I m half Sony half Canon this year, will see next year's release before I decide to go full on one brand (or maybe to Panasonic again.. who knows!)

    Ah ok - and from what we're learning the MKII version will zoom internally making it even more compelling! That said there's something about being able to easily fit the EF 70-200mm f4 IS in your pocket (bcuz it's so thin) that I love.

    But if MKII is internal it will be longer for sure. I guess people can pick MK I for compact and MKII for better environmental protection.

  3. Well look at recent Sony releases their price is straight up RF level of pricing, thank God there is 3rd party but 3rd party have some gimped feature vs Sony lens (like active IS not as good vs Sony branded lens) or no super high speed mode.

     

    Though right now Canon should really release a bunch of rf-s lens, currently there is more body than lens which is embarrassing.

    And of course open up 3rd party for those who want native for compactness and other option.

    Whatever profit they were making on FCPX that they now lose to Resolve they can easily recoup with the price gouging on RAM etc.

     

     

    Speaking of FCPX Apple is definitely losing it vs recent Premiere and Da vinci update, the only advantage it have is the speed (and one off purchase) but rest of the feature hasn't been updated which I feel is dated in 2023..

    Even Capcut give it a run for the money

    Likewise, I struggle to understand why a person would willingly choose a FX3 over say a FX6/FX9/Burano if they're shooting even a modestly funded feature film (unless it is some very niche scenario. Such as "a marketing gimmick"??)

    Well it will be a $80millon marketing gimmick in the making.

    But I m sure manufacturer won't be too happy too cause who is going to buy their expensive camera when $3000 one does the job 😆

    You're talking about Gareth Edward's 2010 film "Monsters". 

    That was of course not shot on a Sony FX3.

    It was shot on a Sony though! But a Sony PMW-EX3 (with a Letus Ultimate adapter and some Nikon SLR lenses).

    I'd say the modern day equivalent of that is the Sony FX6 or FX9. (even the FX9 is cheaper than the EX3 was!) 

    I dunno why you so hung up on it need to be cinema camera.. at least the sensor is the same right lol 😆

    Ah, indeed I was!  My bad.

    I re-read the article and it doesn't look like there's any concrete information in it at all about where they shot and how many people were present.  A lot like most other journalism then - you read it and feel like you've been told a lot of stuff but when you look again there's just a stream of vague statements 😕

    So, who knows why, I guess.

    The article did say for big scene there is still a lot of crew, and down to 2 if that is all they need.

    I guess we will know more once the movie is released? Maybe he chose fx3 cause it look more like standard camera than cinema camera who knows.

    I doubt Sony is put out much by these numbers. Sony has never been that much of a 'camera' or 'lens' manufacturer - the 'camera business' is just a show case for their sensors. And in the sensor business they totally dominate (do Canon even use their own sensors anymore?)

    Of course Sony's really big market is smartphone image sensors. There was a time that a smartphone had one image sensor - my latest phone (Xiaomi) has '5' (all Sony) and including a 1 inch sensor.

    So I would reckon Sony are pretty ok with Canon dominating what is essentially a declining niche mirrorless camera market, Sony have essentially capture the fastest 'growth' area of the photo industry...

    Well all the Canon Apsc and FF is using Canon sensor from the beginning, only DC uses Sony sensor. Remember Canon was the first put out 21MP FF sensor when Sony can just barely did 12MP FF. Since then Sony have really caught up and left Canon behind. Kinda like TSMC and Intel too where TSMC caught up and left Intel on dust.

    Samsung is also the other competitor for cellphone sensor too, but Samsung abandoned large format to go fully smartfone

  9. Yeah the suction cup really doesn't work, and it is quite heavy vs my aliexpress fan, I guess that why it doesn't really sucks even with film vs velcro solution from my other fan, the battery life is way shorter (less than hr vs 4-5hrs).

     

    I just have to say lucky I didn't pay full price for this ulanzi fan, the aliexpress one have ver 2 which with some camera models you can just snap on instead of velcro which is even better
