Yeah, I m definitely keen to upgrade to C70 from R5 next year once I gouge of how the market goes, I dont need the fancy still option of R5. (editing should be way better too on computer lol)

C70 screengrab from FB group (Andrzej Fryda). Canon colour is magic source.

This youtube is quite interesting on the topic of image thickness from colourist's view, general public vs film maker's expectation is a bit different.

S5's DR just triumph any M43 sensor.

AF seem quite bit better than S5/GH5S for sure!

True on that!

I guess video RAW is different than still RAW after all?

Atm Apple definitely have the upper hand on camera supporting their RAW format. People will have to choose FCX or Premiere with ProresRaw support or Da Vinci for BRAW and the RAW their camera support, or Red camera which red raw is supported by all NLE. It's definitely not buy camera and expect to work with your NLE, or ur NLE will support all the feature from your new camera, have to pick a side! Hence I m still on Premiere lol, can work with all cameras

Neve used HDR PQ so can't comment, non clog is 8bit 420 but not too bad in cinestyle which you can lift shadow quite a bit. FHD X.265 is fine on PC. 420 8bit 4K50p is fine on pc too, but 422 10bit 4k50p is slideshow.

Announcing tomorrow? https://shop.panasonic.com/lumix-live

Those thermal pads make quite a lot of difference!

Brochure with all the cinema lens, so C100MKII and C70 are similar in weight? https://www.dropbox.com/s/umzhekf05fagba4/Cinema_EOS_Comparison_Sheet_200922.pdf

Blackmagic is using "free" version to lure people in, once they got stuck its hard for people to move out to another NLE which I see is happening now, so either get BRAW camera or use other NLE I am afraid. Thankfully Sigma FP can do both. But yeah there is no "free" lunch whatsoever.. always a goal behind it.

its more about locking into an eco system than cameras for Blackmagic. Blackmagic - BRAW/Cameras/Davinci/Fusion from shoot to edit, isn't their latest 12K camera shoot only BRAW? RED - RED RAW and Red accessories that lock the user (less so with komodo on accessory) Apple- Prores/FCX Remember, they are profit driven first, not some charity!

So did a 7hr music video shoot today from 4-11pm (sunset 7:40pm here) R5 did see 4k50p drop to 25min a few times, but most of the time is 29.59. Used another 1 and half battery, and 1 128gb and 1 64gb card, I really need a 256gb sd card for 4k50p.

Yeah R6 will be my ideal camera if not for the overheating. I think the 30MP on R is the sweetspot for me. I usually shoot medium size on those large mp camera. Just R5 have the option for longer recording if needed, R6 will have to use Full HD. If R6 have LQ4k mode that will be sweet too.

That on R6, I been using on R5 for a few shoot but haven't seen overheating sign yet. Just sold my EOS R as I can really use R5 for pro shoot.

Did a MV shoot last night, shooting everything 4k50p both internally and to Ninja V, no overheating after 1 and half battery. Got another shoot on Sunday and will update on that. The Sigma Art 35 1.4 works pretty well.. like it more than my rf 35 1.8

Well Apple and Blackmagic are direct RAW format competitor, so doubtful it will be supported anytime soon. Either go Final cut or Premiere, or pick camera with BRAW? I myself might go get Macbook with Final cut for best prores raw support, and i never used final cut ever..

Quick Vlog test during lunch break

Finally got S5 back from friend, I do love the look of s5 more than other brand.. really digging the vintage vibe it gives out! The Sigma 45mm 2.8 have this clicking sound when in video AF, in MF it is silent. Wonder has anyone else encounter this? The 20-60 is quite silent on the other hand.

DR result out, lower than what Gerald tested? https://www.cined.com/sony-a7s-iii-lab-test-does-it-live-up-to-the-hype/

That is very true, hence I m moving away from wedding, profit margin just too low vs corporate or motorspot for billionaire.

2010 and 2020 is quite a lot of difference The house price went from avg $440K to $950K here, but the wage didn't increase double. As result of that more people just do civil marriage or smaller weddings, and the number of people getting married is down each year as well, while more wedding videographer pop up each year as equipment is getting much easier and cheaper to aquire. So more people grabbing a shrinking pie. We done jibs before too, album covers, poster etc, and even rent Red Helium. Just the overall trend of wedding market is down in general. I stopped wedding as my main income around 2016, I only do second shoots if my video friend need help, otherwise i just defer inquiry to my friends as it just not worth the hassle for me when I get better return elsewhere.

Rode Wireless Go and Blink 500 are only good for short distance, for long distance or have view blocked (like body facing away from camera) a G3/G4 will be much better. So it depend on your distance
