Did you apply sharpening in post to match the two?

I've found that you can do some pretty horrific things that make footage softer but sharpening in post can compensate to the point where you can't distinguish in a blind test.

Not much point in paying hundreds / thousands more for "sharper" equipment if the same thing can be done in post with one slider....

no sharpening applied

The A1 8k is less sharp than the A7S3 4K?

 

i haven't tested the 8k yet but 4k for 4k I found the a7s3 to be way sharper, to the point my clients knew I changed camera when I sent them raw footage

Thank you. Have you noticed any difference at all in AF performance between the 2?

DEFINITELY, the sony 24mm just locks on the subject instantly and never loses focus until the subject isnt in frame whilst the zeiss 25mm is good but it loses focus here and there, its still good but nothing like the sony. The zeiss image just looks better tbh

I had the a7s3 and now own the A1 and so far I think the a7s3 image is sharper straight out the box. When I had the a7s3 I used zeiss 25mm an now I'm using the sony 24mm on the A1

Just checked on my 11.4 system and the required folder does exist:

/Users/MACUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/ProApps/Effects Presets/

Maybe try creating the folder if it is missing, and the Effects should then be available in FCPX.

hi andrew i bought the pro color 5 and i have yet to receive it

It's dark in post or just when looking at the on camera screen? I think the A7S3 screen is just crappy. Log also has very little color or contrast so it looks dark until corrected in post. 

its dark on the screen

also i've noticed on my a6500 the iso will be at 2000 and the exposure meter is 0.0 while my a7s3 is at 6400 and the exposure meter at 0.0 while recording the same image, why is that?

anyone experiencing setting their Sony a7s3 to 0.0 and when you look on the screen the image is still dark? I tested the same thing with my a6500 and the image is perfect.

What am I doing wrong guys? please help

so i bought the sony a7s3, I notice even though my exposure meter is set at 0.0 on the screen the image is dark, anybody else experiencing this problem?

is there a way to keep the gridlines on in video mode for the canon R5/R6?... ,  it only stays on in picture mode.

When adding effects and doing color correction play back in FCPX isn't smooth, my laptop struggles a bit. I just need something thats better than what I have now that will just make my work flow run smoothly when I start adding effects and colors. I don't need the latest and newest components and the parts could be used or refurbished,not trying to break my wallent. Any suggestions?

DO THEY HAVE THE SAME SENSOR?, IS THE GH4 BETTER THAN THE GH3 IN LOW LIGHT?

any idea if it will vignette?

Camera - GH3
Lens - Panasonic lumix 12-35mm

Problem - I film alot of night scenes with a led attached to my camera. If I'm filming people wearing colorful clothing my lens/camera works fine, everything is nice and bright on my screen but if I move to people wearing white clothing the people and screen tends to get darker. I'm filming in manual mode so I don't know why this is happening...

there is no hope for that lens unless its on a tripod or something to stabilize it smh..

​majority of my work is handheld and i'm trying to find a way to use the sigma

the sigma 18-38mm f.18 doesn't have image stabilization , the GX7 has in body image stabilization, if you were to use the sigma lens on the GX7would it work just as good as if the lens had image stabilization? .. been reading such great reviews about it but its downfall is has no IS..

i had the same problem, sent it back to panasonic and they seem to be aware of the problem with the lumix 12-35mm lens
