I don't think so, Jake! I think the LX100 is the ideal camera for a gimbal! But I haven't decided yet which one to buy!
-
They were honest when they said the A7s couldn't record 4K internally due to heat issues. So why would they be able to solve that in the next A7s?
Maybe because it's their job?? Because it's the only way to sell more cameras?? It's a race and every company needs to win...
It'd be pretty strange if they found a magical solution for overheating in the next a7s.
You can bet it won't be magical, it will be an engineering solution! But probably not in a couple of days!
A lot of years ago, a neighbour of mine studied IT engineering at university and CPUs run in the 500-800Mhz range at that time. He told me that from 1Ghz+ copper is not linear anymore, a piece of copper was not only resistive, it developed capacities/inductivities (?) and that they teached him that CPUs would never run over the 1Ghz reliably... We all know that nowadays CPUs run up to 3.5-4Ghz. I am sure it wasn't easy, but when men wants to do something they find the way!
Now about littleness, Sony offers the FS7 for pros in search of camcorder and the A7S for pros in search of a small camcorder. Maybe in between there could be A7S II, maybe call it A9 if it's bigger! ;-D

This could be the reason behind a new Sony A7SII, the capability to record long videos plus some HFR...
-
On a related note, one thing that seems to really bother me about NX1 footage is the jerkiness of the motion, especially evident with moving cars.
This video is a good example: it seems like the car reverses an inch for every few it drives forward.
I hope it's settings problem, because it's really ugly!
-
Even if they have sufficiently less optical and mechanical quality vs CP.2s, of course it's normal an expected, they are 1500$ less for a piece. Completely different price league vs the CP.2s and CN-Es.
Samyang can't sell the same thing at the same price as Zeiss. Zeiss has 100+ years of history. Samyang needs to make lens as good or better and cheaper than Zeiss if they want to make money!

Nice honest review as always!!!
-
I think any of the three cameras you name can do well. You just have to pick one and learn to use it the best!
There are so many specs, hidden faults (heating sensors), that to choose a camera is more difficult every time! But in the end you will work with what you have!
-
I do mostly event/comercial low-low-budget work, but would like to dedicate myself to documentaries more. Made a couple of shortfilms, but the whole production/actors work turned me off. It gave me great respect for the ones who actually have the patience to do it!!!

The 8-10 bit is just one of the many variables!
-
I'm sorry, have you SEEN the heatsink on the URSA and URSA Mini? Heat is NOT a problem.
I was talking about the Sony!
-
Wedding work - you need XLR
Please, can we wait another 20 minutes for my camera to cool down and repeat the "will you marry John" part??
-
Not giving away 10bit seems more market protection than heat problems to me! That's why they don't give it neither on the output!
-
When you talk about stabilization the proof is in the pudding, specs are useless. Two stabilization systems could perform better than one or worse. You must try.
I suppose the Sony IBIS will probably be studied to work well with Sony OSS. But with Canon IS, who knows?? And if you put all of this on a gimbal, who knows?? The video posted by Gregormannschaft seems like Canon IS 24-105 a very good combination!
-
That video is the Moire Bible!!! ;-DD
-
From the tests it seems the A7R II is the best of A7R + A7S, so they either make the A7S II the ultimate camera you will ever need or it seems useless!!!

I am waiting for the first "we shoot it with moonlight and f16" shortfilm!!!

Actually i meant thr other way round: being very wide without getting the fisheye look
I know, that is why I recomend you to experiment with a "lens correction" plug-in!
-
If you want fisheye look, but less distortion, maybe a fixed lens and some tweaking in post (with a lens correction plug-in) could be the ticket! I would get something in the 8mm to 14mm for that if you are on APS-C. I say a fixed lens so correction is always the same and you have a cookie cutting solution. If you get the 10-20, you can experiment more looks (and more corrections!).
-
Is good just for framing, you can't judge exposition! Not ideal, but better than nothing...
-
Wi-fi works on 2.4Ghz, same as most RC controls. It's better to avoid using it!

I recognize that 10 years ago people used to ask for my camera. It's been pretty long time that they don't care, but I never do high end gigs. In a higher end gig is more important that there is a pro in every key position than the camera.
Best Stills 4K Camera?

Sell your 600D, buy a LX100 or FZ1000 (the first for low-light, the second for long zoom)! Best of both worlds!
