lol true!

I got a 5d2 (only 3000 shutter count) and 16-35mm F2.8 for only $850 3 years ago.. on evilbay, that was while we are on break for shooting and I was browsing the site on my phone lol, the guy just put it up few minutes ago.

My 2 A7s cost me $1450each (bought from different site), that was way before the A7R II announcement, with local Sony warranty.

Hence why I don't buy new staff anymore, you save a lots of money on 2nd hand, all it take is patient and time. (constantly looking 24/7 lol)

I wonder will it have overheating issue on video recording?

isn't there 18-200mm LE which is smaller than those?

The slower FE lens will have much better AF video tracking, which is pretty useful in some situations.  But isn't there a Nikon to E mount adapter with full electronic communication coming soon? Maybe with that it will report the zoom?

Since I never own any Canon cameras but only used my friend's one the "Canon" colour scheme have no effect on me at all.

I guess I am lucky that I didn't stuck with Canon colour like a lot of people out there.  I just choose the tool that will works and make me standout. And portability is a big plus too.

wow at 256% tax would it be cheaper just to fly to NY, get the drone and fly back?

IBIS is good for static shots, for movement shots a gimbal/steadicam is better, it is much fluid and dynamic. Though gimbal with IS is even better as it can reduce the jitter (if any) from the motor to non-existing

If money is no object, go for it!

But remember filming is not all about camera , my friend's lighting kit cost way more than A7R II.. (Those ledolights are so much awesome..) but they make huge difference to cheap lights.

Late is better than never, when can we get H.264 recording option from Samsung? Right now we need even more space for H.265 because it need to be converted to H.264 first.

Expect 120p at 720p for their up coming APS-C cam.

Consider the max ISO on A7R II is only 102,400 dont think low light is as impressive as A7s, and with the downsampling they use on S35 mode and binning on full frame mode it wont be as moire/aliasing free compare to A7s with 1:1 pixel readout, and on lowlight it will be even more obvious as A7R II have to use S35 for best video quality which loss 1 stop/DR compare to Full Frame mode of A7S.

But if you are more of hybrid still/video shooter A7R II obviously is the better solution with improved AF especially on Canon glass, 5 Axis IS and 42MP to boot.

The ND in RX10 is only 3 stop, not strong enough for daylight F2.8, wish it was more stronger lol

​The A7R II price is way out of league for most of people, the 4K APS-C will be priced more reasonable at least that most of us can actually afford it.

2.3X in 4K mode.

​Funny as I own GH4 and 5D2 and I don't find 5D2 video that good at all.. too damn soft.  I prefer Blackmagic and Red footage much more

Might get one when the price drop. Sony cam (except A7s) tend to overheat before their record limit so that a big no no for me.

30 min limit will have to wait for the actual product I guess? the only info I see about record limit is the 30min limit for 4k photo mode

Is it me or the low light seems better than GH4 from that promo video?  (they actually shoot at night unlike previous promo)

Their current EF to NEX is just like any other EF-NEX adapter, AF speed is dog slow.  But the MFT version have their newly designed chip in the mount that can handle fast AF.  Wonder if they gonna put that on the E-mount.

Kipon is Shanghai based company.

I dunno why people still think NX is still in early stages, it was the first mirrorless APS-C cam before the NEX even come out..  third party support is lacking that I agree on.

I dunno why he have to write so many other stuff when a simple 10 stop dr when not using slog2 would do.

A7s for me is also wow night camera too lol, for gun and run NX1 is my cam, 4K and 120p with full working video AF (daytime) means I just point and shoot most of the time.. on a gimbal lol, colour is nice straight out of the camera and subject is in focus, 4K means I can crop in post since you can't zoom on a gimbal. Man I am becoming lazy lol.

Yeah, if you dont need them now you can always wait, while for those who do either one of them can do the job, and by the time 32bit comes out you already master the gimbal compare to those who still wait, and you gonna beat them since your brain and body knows how to "fly" those well, and you will know which pid works and what not.

This one is done on Nebula 4000 with GH4 + Olympus 12 2.0, 25 1.8, 45 1.8, Sigma 60 2.8,  7-14 4.0, Nokton 25 0.95 and GH2 Samyang 7.5 3.5 on monopod

I am waiting for DJI to release M43 camera module for Inspire 1, the ability to have total control all on pre-built package is what it set apart from the rest. The drones to fly all those camera still cost a lot of money and time, but no doubt they will come down in price eventually though.

I prefer desktops (customized hack mac water cooled oc'ed), really fast and pretty quiet unlike whiny lappies, I can often rendering and play game (like borderland 2) at same time

sorry don't have 1dc so no idea how it will perform, but it handle RED 4K RAW pretty well.

The next a7 is A7R II, and a pro model coming at end of year I think? (the A9)

I think some people fall in to category of going arms race where they spend a lot more than they can ever earned, unless either you are well known which you get a lot of jobs or have rich daddy that support you (I've seen some parent who will do anything to get their kids into the business) its hard to earn a living while constant upgrading at same time, let alone buy a house/form family/have kids which require a lot of money.

​They also make sensor for RED too..  http://www.towerjazz.com/jv.html
