screen grab from a sequence I shot last week (last airbender fan film), it will have quite a bit of vfx once finished

A7SIII probably coming next year, A7II released Nov 14, A7RII Aug 15 and A7SII Sep 15, if A7III is similar to A7II release (both Q4 release) then you can expect A7RIII coming out in summer and A7SIII in autumn next year, definitely more than a year to go Looks like Sony is putting A7 into 3 year cycle.. same for A5xxx series lol, the entry lvl model need a long overdue! Or maybe they are exiting the entry level market and go for enthusiast and up?

I once drop the 12-35mm and gh4 from a monopod and both work fine (monopod at 1.3m high), only the lens hood broke. Panasonic stuff are pretty well constructed compare to Olympus in terms of internal robustness. M43 lens is good for ninja shoots and on gimbal, good luck try use that 70-200mm f2.8 to look casual, I only used prime lens on gimbal to save my arm. Even 12-40mm is too heavy for me on gimbal for all day shoots, I only used m43 prime on it.

Use patreon, I know some are sustainable but some still got a few miles ahead by using patreon. Subscription (or monthly contribution) is the way to go. There is different mindset of paying to support and get content vs paying to buy content, which I doubt many want to spend to buy just the content, I know I wouldn't. (look at honest trailer, their $1 subscription end in epic failure, if they do it on patreon that will be a complete different story)

In our area we still have few cameras stores but yeah most mall camera shops is closed or converted to photo print shops. Though we have 1 brand of camera shop that expanding since that one is targeted mainly toward video people like us.

But it's AF in video will be crap!

Thanks for the video! Good to know I can wear sunglasses for the shoot on the GH5, video AF on E-M1 II is better than GH5, on the still tracking GH5 have higher success rate than E-M1 II? But mattiew from mirrorlesson said BIF on GH5 is less successful than E-M1 II.

Back to Topic: If 6D2 have good 1080P video we might br interested on getting it to replace our 5D as photo and last resort camera for video, but mixing 5d and c100 is a bit difficult since 5D is soft and C100 is really sharp, and 6D II video look even worse.

If you bothered to check their financial report they are still healthy, its on their website, not some third party speculation.

Depend if u want AF for stills and if you are concerned with convenience/weather proofing/size/weight, if not speedbooster with sigma lens is the killer, if yes just go native, I am going native lens and adapter only since 1..I have access to EF lens so I dont have to buy them, and 2. I do care about the weight/size etc for my own use.

You are not crazy, my fs5 will be posted to new owner the 7Q+ used to pair with FS5, sold that earlier Current workhorse (c100mkii is from work, hopefully to C200 lol)

Most people use Radeon for mining cards.

I just use the primes I used on the OSMO X5 on to the GH5 with Zhiyun, I can swap 12mm f2.0, 25mm 1.7 and 42.5mm 1.7 without rebalancing, just change the lens and go. one problem with sony app is slog can't be used when using the app, what a dumb limitation.

Just earn more money so you can buy all the gears you want, seriously, more action less whiny lol can't wait for the C200 to be released.. looking forward to it

Now there is 200D which is a true mini 80D lol

Well I dont shoot raw and doesn't care about it, this cam will be used for client or temp assistant that don't really know how to operate camera, so touchscreen dpaf will be huge help lol.

Basically same function as EOS-M5 for half the price, minus EVF and EIS but comes with fully articulated touchscreen and same DPAF! Makes me want to ditch A5100 for it.. the only Sony camera I have left, even in winter it still overheat arghh

The footage should be much crispier than the one we saw from low res phone quality shacky video But man don't you wish you have the 150-600 for this kind of thing

Similar thing happens to some TV production, and why some of them switch to Varicam from Sony/Arri... less light setup needed!

Yeah, even 2.5mm is fine for me as long there is mic-in! if Sony can do it Panasonic can definitely do it

Here in NZ it is easy to setup 1 person company, pay the registration fee and you are set

Well according to some gossip around the industry in my area, those people who can open the company at CBD area which rent is quite high right after they just finish uni is mostly because they have 1.rich daddy 2.trust fund, hence they can afford RED Weapon or FS7 or even Phantom camera in no time. Though position yourself up is the better to get more income gradually , sometimes use monthly payment instead of paying full at once to buy gear to get around cash-flow problem. But yeah now our company does 5 figure jobs and dont really do 3 figure jobs, usually we just leave those jobs to other freelancers who are willing to do for cheap.

From GH5 try and experience event in Taiwan today, they said firmware to improve GH5 Video AF will be up around September.

But the the people drooling over your gear is priceless! Yeah I feel you, FS5 quality is not up to par the price you paid, except the slowmo and ergonomics and look pro to clients. (Even then I still have people thinking I am shooting photo, probably because of the lens?) I use C100 II almost everyday, I still shoot MF cause I have seen the camera focus shifting/hunting with it during events when I use AF. I just don't get the praise about Canon AF to be honest, consider if there is many face/crowds on screen the camera have no idea who to follow.

We just finished a MV with GH5 and Zhiyan Crane, using Olympus 12mm f2, Pana 25mm 1.7, Pana 42.5mm 1.7, Voigtlander 17.5mm 0.95, footage look pretty good, shoot everything 4K50P, We did have Sigma Art lens with Speedbooster but doesnt use them at end since it mostly shot on gimbal with few handheld on Voigtlander lens We can change the 3 primes without rebalancing the gimbal which speed up the flow. Having a good gaffer make scene look so much more amazing and higher production value.
