    Cool! Can´t wait to see you shoot some beautiful footage with it.

    Really enjoyed your VLog and C100II shorts and tests. Where did you get that deal on the Odyssey with 1Gig of SSDs? Did you buy used?

    You gonna forget about the GH4 Assasin combo?

    Cool! Are you sure about that? Sorry for questioning. Should have done my research maybe!

    I just really consider you guys my research partners by communicating with one another!:)

  2. People shooting events/weddings are probably not going to be using a mass consumer camera (at least I hope note, if they are actually pros and not amateur posers)

    Remember, this camera is essentially Sony's Rebel.

    Man, I been to so many of them, some of them do use camcorder or even bridge camera for events even on this day.  (NZHerald our national newspaper for example uses sony camcorder for their videos, though it got 1" sensor)

  3. If it overheats it is totally useless for event/weddings unless you rig it up to external recorder, might as well get a7rii/a7sii with IBIS (Just got myself A7RII and Zeiss 24-70mm combo for $2800, minus the lens so A7RII is around $2100 which is the same price as A6300 + Ninja Assassin)

     

     

  4. I was going to pull the trigger on an FS5 now i'm seriously tempted to go fs700 and 7q+. Just wish it had better ergonomics!

    For those of us who value ergonomics FS5 is definitely the top choice, 0.8kg weight is major selling point if you handheld your camera whole day, and rig it up if shooting in studio environment for maximum image quality with RAW and 7Q+

  5. Yes but you need the HXR interface, in addition to the Atomos or Q7. So FS700 ($4K), HXR ($2200) and whatever recorder you go with. Seems way too bulky and pricy to me. Actually price isn't that bad considering what you're getting but still a mess to shoot with. 

    You only need FS700 and 7Q with license, no need for HXR

  6. FS5 is 100Mbit in 4K 4:2:0 8bit and 50Mbit in FHD 4:2:2 10bit

    The upcoming RAW will be for 4K and FHD in 12bit, if it is like FS700 it will be continuous 4K 60P RAW and 240P FHD RAW or 120P 4K Burst RAW.

    Unlike FS7 which need Sony XDCA-FS7 ($2000) to get raw out beside external recorder, with FS5 you just plug straight to external recorder to get RAW, With Odyessy 7Q+ you have to option of recording in DNG or Apple ProRes

     

    With FS5 I can hold it all day handheld or half day on Ronin-M, on FS7 + Ronin I only last few minutes, I still have A7S and GH4 for multicam setup

  7. Horses for courses, but one thing for certain is FS5 will get better when Sony fixed most of the flaws and add more feature,  The colour on slog3 is definitely more pleasing, no weird greenish tint of slog2.

     

    I do love the ergonomics of FS5, my handheld video is much more stable now especially when I zoom in compare to DSLR way, and I can power my camera, monitor/external recorder and my phone with just one battery lol.

  8. If it is under the kickstarter price of $449 it would generate a lot of sales, at $699 a lot people having second thoughts, consider you get Panasonic G7 kit with 25mm 1.8 for less than that!

  9. I use my GH4 for tripod cams, really love the unlimited hour recording, all other Sony cam overheat except the A7s, don't like rig as they carry extra burden for events and managements, I like to keep simple and fast. It's a set and forget camera for me while I roam around with A7s.

  10. May be, but the Pizza Rat video shot with cell phone has 8+ million views and caused an Internet sensation, so views mean squat. My point is, to use the cliche: content is king, and there ain't a story in this one.

    The problem with telling a story is that it's hard, and like exercise folks will resort to all kinds of tricks to avoid it: slow-mo, time-lapse, drone shots, macros, crazy cutting, night for day, bizarre stunt go-pro shots, you name it. Basically do anything gee-wiz to distract the viewer from realizing that there is no story.

    As I said, the footage is lovely in this piece, so kudos for that. But being great at shooting video is NOT the same being great at telling a story. And storytelling matters a lot to indie filmmakers here, much more so than the gee-wiz stuff.

    That poor rat is trying to feed his adapted turtle kids..

  11. Yeah it is super noisy, much worse than GH4, I can never do 2x crop from RX10II's 4K footage because it is soft and noisy unlike GH4 or NX1's 4K which still holds up after cropping. (for indoors)

    but its a good cam for slowmo, 120p unlimited with sound is pretty nice, 250p is super fun except the focus bug is super annoying.

    You can punch in while recording to check focus so I am ok with peaking not as good as GH4.
