How does the Sony A5100 compare to this? I ordered an A5100 via an Amazon lightening deal but wondering now whether I should have upped my budget and got the RX100 IV? I just wanted something quick and easy to capture the toddler.
Probably if you don't need the HFR features then the A5100 is better value. But tbh I think the A6000 is worth the extra cash... I didn't like the overall feel of the a5100 compared to the a6000.
If you can do without the interchangeable lens mount then go for the RX100 IMO

I agree with the FPS issue. 4K is enough for the next 4 years. Let's have full focus on low light performance, robust codecs, and 240+ FPS!

Thank you for jumping in here Shield. Good points you raise. Some might say it's hard to find a sub 10k camera that handles colour and skin tones as well as this one does.
I've heard Dave Dougdale say the same with his 5DM2 when comparing with a GH4. Does anyone have a reason why could this be?
Huge ass sensor is why!

Inspiring post, Ebrahim!

Mesmerising!

I started playing with photos because I realised that it can be more appropriate than recording video most of the time.
I love the night, I love lightning storms, and I love the seaside. So this image is a scene that I am fond of.

Nice- I love surfing videos! Which lens are you using?
-
Graded with filmconvert and a little MB Looks

Not sure many people will be rushing for the FS700 right now with the RX10ii doing the same HFR with the same (or better?) quality!

New laptop
In: Cameras
I would go for a Dell or Lenovo 15.6" workstation with a quadro GPU or top-tier AMD GPU for Open-CL.
Otherwise a nice gaming laptop from Sager would work well also.
I agree with Don that ultrabooks and tablets are going to struggle with 4K editing!
Check these options out. Sager/ Clevo are well made:

This one is inexpensive and has an nVidia 970m graphics card which would really help with CUDA/ Open CL. You can get it with a 4K screen as well!
It also has not one... but TWO fans to cool the graphics card! That is unheard of in a laptop...

Wow, very interesting indeed!
-
When I get the funds this will be my new A-camera, and a6000 will be the B-cam. Thanks for the feedback everybody

Welcome!

I think this problem was restricted to the NEX 7. I remember reading about it and even the Nex-5n didn't have it...
-
I think to differentiate A7S2 they will put easy things like slog3 or 10bit.
but clean FHD at 480 fps impossible
even clean 120fps is gonna be hard...
Internal 4k at 60fps ? With heating issues in 30fps already ? I doubt a lot.
We have clean FHD at 120 and 240 FPS already with RX10 and RX100 IV don't we? And those cameras are $800 - $1400. If you are paying double that for a7sII I don't think its unrealistic to expect solid HFR
-
Sony will leave something extra for the A7sII I reckon, and it could be adding that incredible slow motion. I currently have a Canon 5D Mark III and a Sony A7s and I'd like to get rid of the 5D but haven't yet because I dont want to lose that stills ability. The A7rII does look great...but video comes first so if the A7sII has incredible slow motion thats probably a better option.
That's what I'm thinking! A7sII probably will perhaps break out 4k 50/60fps, 1080p up to 480fps at full quality...

The only thing is: is it safe to upgrade for 8.1 pro or shall I do a fresh install (I usually do fresh installs instead of upgrades)
-
Just thought I'd let everyone know, I upgraded from Win7 to 10 with no hassles at all! All my Adobe Apps work, all my Avid Apps work fine including Pro Tools 11 which has a glass jaw but everything works great after 12 hours constant use! Resolve beta 12 works 100%! Quite surprised too and the upgrade didn't mess with my Desktop or files etc everything is exactly as it was except it's no longer Win 7. Apps open a bit quicker, Internet pages quicker, played some Arma 3 too all good!! I recommend it, be very surprised if anyone has problems? my2c!
Dude I was just playing Arma 3 today and using Protools 11 yesterday. Thanks for the good news, will upgrade soon

How is the codec on the Nikon vs the new XAVC-S of the a6000?
Btw, if you get a Sony mirrorless camera just get this from amazon and with 3 batteries you won't have to worry about battery life any more
-
damn.
-
No he said, "I personally think the Sony/Zeiss glass is much better glass than Canon L." That is baloney. The top end glass from the likes of Sony, Canon, Nikon, etc is indistinguishable from each other. What is this amateur hour?

Is it? I can tell you that the Cinematographers shooting Hollywood films aren't sitting around looking at specs comparisons between the GH4, and the A7s.
Well obviously they aren't- because they have been through that stage at the beginning of their careers and have access to cameras like ARRI's, RED, etc. But many future Hollywood cinematographers are comparing specs between the GH4 and A7s.
Yes - but this box is not marketed towards those who might call themselves semi-pro or indie or whatever is the word of the day. It's marketed towards people who think it would be cool to shoot some video, or who might be interested in video, or who just wants to shoot some holiday/birthday videos. For them, a 750D is great/fine. It's pretty easy to use and the workflow is pretty easy. It's easy to get an okay image out of the box.
That demographic of "people who think it would be cool to shoot some video" are getting pretty badly ripped off. This package wouldn't be so bash-worthy if it was priced, say, 30 to 40% lower. Some here are saying "let Canon charge and market their products themselves however they want". Sure, they will- let us also laugh and bash their marketing however we want, too!
If someone's really interested in filmmaking, I'd rather they pick this exact box off the shelf, put the rig together, go out there and just shoot as much as they can. They'll learn heaps. I'd tell them to study light, and the way light interacts within the world etc.
What would be far better is if they would buy this exact kit but separately- as already mentioned by Andrew. That way they could save a few hundred dollars for lighting, no?
The worst thing someone can do is spend all their time talking about what may or may not be better, at the expense of actually doing anything - which is I think what a lot of people on internet forums do. A lot of theoretic talking, and not a lot of actual shooting.
This is the only thing that I agree with you on. I am trying recently to shoot more and read/ post less. Same goes for music recording. It is plain old laziness combined with actually being busy with other work. But fair point as I believe if people spent half of their forum time shooting and editing there would be a lot more interesting content out there indeed...
