ntblowz got a reaction from solovetski in Panasonic S5 II (What does Panasonic have up their sleeve?)
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.

Ambient temperature was 30C/86F which isn't a real stress-test but is better than the stupid people that test these things practically in the freezer, either to game the results because they're dishonest or because they're too stupid to realise that there are warm countries on earth too.

ntblowz reacted to kye in iPhone 15 Camera Update - Released
It would be useful if you wrote why you were sharing each video. I'm assuming you're watching more videos than you decide to share.
That way, if you post a video that talks about things I know about I can skip it, but if you post one that mentions something new that I don't know about then I can watch.
TBH I'm just looking at you post video after video and thinking "I can just search in YT and see random videos too".

ntblowz reacted to MrSMW in Rode Wireless Pro - 32bit float, timecode, locking connection
Oh dear.
Not US and was waiting until the Spring of ‘24 to replace my original set but maybe I should get it sooner rather than later just in case…
There are alternatives, but the Rode WG just worked for me.
When I remembered to switch both units on anyway…
I hate that long hold on, long hold off system. I’d rather just a flick switch and a lock.
Ditto for my little Sony pocket recorders. Forever switching recording on just touching my bag sometimes. Then trawling through 10 hours of recording the interior sounds of my camera bag before eventually finding 2 minutes of Captain Correllis facking Violin being read by cousin Karen 🤪

ntblowz reacted to Andrew - EOSHD in Sony a9 III global shutter high ISO / dynamic range tests
Interested to see more on this subject. Let's see how far Sony has come from the early global shutter sensor Blackmagic Production Cam 4K which couldn't do ISO 800!
Here's my findings so far:

ntblowz reacted to sanveer in Sony A9III with Global Shutter
Almost all major prosumer Sony cameras overheat I guess. Maybe the ones where the node size is too large, that lacks a heatsinks, or fan or some other issues.
Sony doesn't care for overheating. This one shoots 120fps at 24MP, but for only 1.5-1.6 seconds or something. Guess that means that their RAM isn't really huge. Also, it could probably be used to cook in the winters during shoots 😁

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.

Exciting! Been waiting for a global shutter hybrid for years. Would love to have no rolling shutter and an unlimited flash sync speed. Now I just have to wait about five more years until it's available at a price point I can afford, and from Panasonic 😄

ntblowz reacted to MrSMW in Will The Creator change how blockbusters get filmed?
This is what happened and they asked for the Nisi ND’s because they’d seen a video on YouTube, but the guy in the store (shoots weddings on Saturday’s) reckoned the Urth’s were just as good and anyway, in Adobe Premiere, you can easily remove the color cast.
Pretty sure that’s how they rolled on this.
It was also the camera store guys tip re. saving money and spending that on donuts.

ntblowz got a reaction from IronFilm in Panasonic G9 mk2
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.

Helped keep the budget down by around $50.
More money for donuts.

I don't see your problem, just build strength by carrying around a brick all day when you're at home or running errands.
It's a standard industry strength training practice.

It is.
Around a decade or so back, I was what is known as skinny fat, ie, very little muscle tone but a surplus of fat around my middle.
I never exercised, had developed asthma, smoked and drank (but not heavily) and it was a gradual erosion/accumulation more than anything.
I decided to do something about it around the time of my 40th birthday.
I’m 53 in a few weeks and never been in better condition and actually have a fitness competition (Hyrox) that I have traveled to Ireland for from France, in a couple of hours.
Why mention this?
Fatigue, or reduction of from being in shape.
And not just the physical, but the mental which is unseen but contributes.
But I still have trouble getting to sleep after an intense 15+ hour day because despite downing tools, I’m still buzzing.
The next day though…and I can never lie in and catch up no matter how late I went to bed or how tired I am, by lunchtime, wiped out and can easily grab another 1-2 hours early afternoon, but it’s not until the day after the day after I feel recovered, so never take back to back jobs anymore.
No way I could be working the way I have been for the last few years one to two decades ago and I guess another factor why when other photographers or videographers ask me how I do what I do, part of that answer is level of fitness.
But as with all these things, it is only a part of a greater whole.
2.8kg unsupported in and out of your hands all day though is a bit nuts which is why it has to go!
