I definitely enjoy the lighter lens after trying out Sony this year, but unfortunately the people I colab with definitely prefer the Canon colour 100% of the time.. the most recent one was shooting for this DJ from Canada where he used Komodo for Spain shoot and Sony for Oz shoots, and we shoot C70 RAW for him here in NZ, he said the Sony was really hard to get nicer colour vs Red or the Canon after he did some quick edit afterwards. So might stick back to Canon. And my friend who shoot with Panasonic does have people laugh at him for using old piece of gear (the EVA1), on this one job after seeing the result (it's a livestream job and they have a dedicated people that does lut and facial beauty thing done in real time as well) they said Panasonic looks nicer than the Sony's they used and need much less time on tweaking.

Dual IS definitely makes shooting more stable, the brand take takes most of the use is Canon as a lot of their RF lens got IS, but sadly for walking video shots Panasonic seems to be the best and then the Sony with Dynamic Active IS,I wonder is it more to do with algorithm beside hardware. When I shoot ring shot on RF 24mm 1.8 (thanks to 0.5x magnification) it is a lot more stable than shooting at tele end like 105mm on gimbal 😅

The current CPU used since A7RV is quite hot (literally), look at overheating E1/A6700/A7CII.. It definitely need to wait for the next gen cpu to catchup in terms of performance and thermal issue. But A1 and A7SIII finally getting firmware update, SIII finally get 24p and breathing compensation.

You can 3d print adapter kit for ulanzi fan, no more popping off! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6263316

Btw the app for Sony camera also changed to Creator too, so I do agree it also some kind of marketing push. (Beside the FX6 is also hard to get back then, like 6 month waiting time!)

They should really do a GX9 II with the same pdaf sensor.. https://fstoppers.com/reviews/panasonic-please-come-back-lumix-gx9-re-review-645313

I also need a day rest to fully recover from previous day, if I did back to back shoot I will be very tired on 3rd day. The days of flying C70 with 18-35mm 1.8 on Ronin all day is definitely past my time. So this year I downsize my setup to rs3 mini and ZV-E1 with <500g lens (or R8 with 600g lens) instead of the hefty 24-70 2.8 on R5 on Ronin rs2 pro, that is over 1/2 the weight saved, with this new setup I m not as over tiring as before which is good for me.

It is fixed aperture so no aperture control

R7 is the underappreciated camera of the year. I sold my R7 earlier then bought it back again cause it is the only one in the price range that offer long 4k recording without worrying about overheating and offer 32MP stills which is perfect for hybrid setup, when paired with Sigma 18-35 1.8 the image is quite nice.

https://ymcinema.com/2023/10/23/this-is-the-sensor-of-the-big-sky-camera/ Quite fascinating, when I first see the 12K blackmagic thinking who would need that, but this is a quite monster sensor.

The image is broken btw

The Creator rig breakdown I wonder why they use Urth VND and not Nisi true color.

Yeah Sony and their hidden gimped 3rd party support... if catalyst result is the same Sony really purposely nerfing 3rd party lens on active and dynamic active IS. Canon and Panasonic on the other hand their EIS works the same on native or third party. So Sigma 28-70 on Panasonic will be a lot more stable than Sigma 28-70 on Sony as 3rd party only got standard IS support.

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!)

Will it overheat in 4k120?

https://www.indiewire.com/features/craft/the-creator-ai-director-gareth-edwards-interview-1234908016/ He used 10% budget for the actual shoot, and rest goes to post. So 8 million for the actual production and 72 million to vfx/sound/design.

More inside look from DIT https://ymcinema.com/2023/10/06/shooting-a-blockbuster-with-the-sony-fx3-a-rare-inside-look-by-the-creators-dits/ They used Atomos Ultrasync for timecode

Straight from DP

From petapixel it more like 10-15% better

FX9 was used for shooting in those led wall for sync, on location is pure FX3 ( up to 8 of them) https://www.provideocoalition.com/art-of-the-frame-the-creator-co-dp-oren-soffer/

Wonder how many normal people still use their new purchase camera after 1 month when the novelty died off. But phone on the other hand you use it every min lol.

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.

Sony ZV-E10 or Canon R50 with USB (computer will recognize it as webcam, no software needed) or if u want to use those 4k hdmi usb adapter (elgato camlink 4k) then any used cam with clean hdmi out will do.
