I understand your points. But you want a perfect camera and they won't do it because then what's left?

A stills camera that films it's just a stills camera deep down.

If you want a stills camera with raw video and 10 bit or whatever, what's the point of the company on having pro cameras? That would make them obsolete.

Firstly they are a company, and they care about profits, like every company in the world.

Ah, the old "it's bad, but intentionally so." Solo was too dark in many scenes, and it wasn't a question of not calibrating my TV, or watching on an ipad, or even compression. I saw it on blu ray on a 60" TV that is within reasonable calibration, in a dark room. It's funny because the Godfather, a movie famous for "underexposure," is so much easier on the eyes--because it's not about darkening a scene, it's about lighting it so that the viewer gets the impression of darkness.

...is exactly right.

Not to excuse GOT, but regarding to Bradford Young, the DP of Arrival and Solo, you just have to accept that its his style. A DP can have his own signature. I liked the Arrival cinematography. The one on Solo, I also found too dark and sometimes hard to see. But I mean, he's obviously knows what he's doing otherwise he wouldn't be working with no one.

On the GOT episode, I'm sure the footage has more light. It was on the grading. The DP has some input on the grading as well, because it's part of the aesthetic he and the director imagined, but's he's not the one doing it.

I disliked  it in Arrival and Solo, and it grated me here. Not everyone has great screens, or watches the show in the dark, or on a Dolby certified HDR monitor.  Contrast is your friend.

They are from the same DP. If you look at some of his interviews, he admits he likes to underexpose his shots on purpose.

Hi,

 

So, a friend of mine just bought the a6300 and we went out to test it.

 

Filmed at 4k, some parts at 120fps 1080p, all exported to 1080p.

 

Color correction was with magic bullet film.

 

S-log2 with s-gammut

 

Here you go:

 

 

Does the Shogun record RAW on the FS7 as well?

I'm just trying to think the way you think... "today I'm gonna shoot a video, let's take this dslr", the day after.. "today I'm gonna shoot some stills, let's take a blackmagic"!

Andrew, something does not compute regarding the way you use the tools available. You are always complaining that most DSLR's suck on their video performance, yet they are aimed for photography. And you use a camera aimed for filming to retain photography stills. What if you use each tool for their own purpose?

How is it the 5d mkII better than the D800?!

When you say "The sensor is the best in the stills world, and second best in the video world just behind the 5D Mark III." is with the 5D on magic lantern with raw or without any hack?

Well, don't forget to tell that the a7r has peaking and zebra.

Hey! This is my latest video.

 

The footage is going to be part of a music video that i'm directing.

Graded with Colorista and Film Convert.

Who said that digital is as good as IMAX ???
[/quote]

You said that film has already beaten by Alexa and Sony...

I think that its the card, although it's one original Sandisk Extreme Pro 16gb 95mB/s.

Sometimes the camera says that the card isn't reading.

And yesterday I was filming a videoclip and changed to an Sandisk 8gb Pro at 20 mB/s and the problems disappeared.

My card was expensive has hell. If the problem is the card, I'll be very angry!!

In the patch vault it says: "Just after recording, a clip will not playback in-camera. If you reboot the camera and enter playback mode, all clips will playback just fine. This is normal behavior of the hacked GH2 and not a bug in the patch."


This problem is only consistent with certain hacks. I've used hacks that not had this problem.

Since I have my hacked GH2 running the latest official firmware that some problems start occurring. Sometimes the image freezes and continues.. Sometimes there are gray frames. I don't understand, but I have never encountered so many problems since I started using the latest firmware hacked. I'll probably go to 1.0 again, since I never had problems with that one.

Have any of you had problems with the hacked latest firmware?

For me it ruined one short-film, and one videoclip.

I read IMAX has "only" 16.000 lines of resolution. Where the hell digital comes near that?

And here is another one:

20MP P&S is beyond overkill. I guarantee that 90% of the stills taken with this camera will not be printed. 12 MP's would have been a more practical choice.
[/quote]

They said 36MP was overkill for the D800. It wasn't.
[/quote]

The low-light performance says otherwise. Great camera would have been greater with much less MP's.
[/quote]

Is that so?  Here's what DxOMark testing said about that:

D800

2835 ISO score
14.4 EVs DR score
25.3 bits Color Depth score

D700

2303 ISO score
12.2 EVs DR score
23.5 bits Color Depth score

D3s

3253 ISO score
12 EVs DR score
23.5 bits Color Depth score

D4 

2965 ISO score
13.1 EVs
24.7 bits Color Depth score

5D Mk II

1815 ISO score
11.9 EVs DR score
23.7 Color Depth

5D Mk III

2239 ISO Score
11.7 EVs DR
24 bits color depth
 

Notice that only the D3s and D4 do better than the 36mp D800 at high ISO, and only slightly.

I'm talking about video. The Nikon D800 is a lot noisier than the 5D mark lll.
[/quote]

Yeah, but 3200 iso equals 6400 iso from canon. So it´s almost the same. D800 at 6400 has more noise than canon at 6400, but the 3200 from D800 has the same light that 6400 from canon.

NO!! It's one original Sandisk, I bought it from amazon! ExtremePro 95mB/s 16GB!

Probably it was the patch I used..

Edit: also I  normally use 24H at 176mbit and works fine..

On the last couple of days I was shooting a short movie, with 2 GH2. One of them was in NTSC and another in PAL. Although the hacks were different. Because there was a one minute sequence that needed to be filmed in slow motion, and we needed the 720p60 to do that. But when we were going to do the shot the it only filmed for 6 or 4 seconds, and the error that the writing speed was to high for the SD card showed up. I own a 16GB Sandisk 95mB/s!! I went on the computer to do a different hack while all the team and the actors were waiting, put the bitrate lower at 88, and 44 mbit, and the same error appear.. We had to do with the PAL GH2 at 720p50.

It's the first time that the gh2 lets me down! Maybe it was the patch that I used, but all the settings were good.. don't know.

Any ideas?

I updated the firmware with the Driftwood GOP1 AQ2 all round  'AQUAMOTION' ver 2, that I used before on the 1.0, but I think that the resolution, or definition has change to worse.. Anyone notice that?

Doesn't the noise reduction filter leads to worse definition or resolution?

Where did you get that battery grip? :) Thanks
[/quote]

You took the words out of my mouth!

I just want to know which one is the second!

I'm using Driftwood: 'GOPstoppa' PAL& NTSC Land...
It's working right now, I think it was the I.resolution. I turned it off and now it's ok. Don't know what that is yet.. Just got the camera today..

Hey! I have one GH2 with an Sandisk SD 16GB 95MB/s card, and with the 176 mb hack it says after 10 seconds of filming that the record has stop due to the writing speed of the SD.. How is that possible?!
