For people who need to travel a lot this will be a very powerful feature! As soon as you land in a new country, you can open up the Deity app and get access to that country's new set of legal frequencies to use. (which might not have been legal back home) No need to buy/rent new hardware for each country you visit! Also useful for pros like myself, who need transmitters (to go out to camera or DIT) in their bag next to their receivers (for the talent/booms), so now you can with the Deity use the weird odd little gaps in the frequency spectrum that are located far far away from your frequencies for your talent. Helps a lot for frequency coordination! I'm looking forward to using 819 to 824MHz with the Deity UHF wireless.

Indeed, it was kinda reasonable to buy the a7Smk3 back when it came out, but now in 2023 don't ever be buying it if you're shooting video professionally! And if you have it already? In the grand scheme of things it is a very small business cost to upgrade to a FX3/FX30 (or heck, even a FX6!) I'd quite like to live at Sony's HQ! They'd have the best gear room you could imagine right there at hand.

VENICE is an "alpha camera"!! haha Yeah nah, we know what is meant by "alpha camera". It means their cameras which start with "a" at the front: a7, a7r, a7s, a6600, a5100, etc (roughly speaking, gets a bit more fuzzy with some of their recent releases named such as "ZV-E1")

And got to look at the big picture, other stuff such as "not overheating" and "timecode capable" might not impact the image itself, but have a big impact on the production itself!

Makes it a BIG BOY CAMERA now with 4K DCI + 24fps + anamorphic desqueeze 4K DCI & 24fps makes a lot of sense, as VENICE/FX9 owners would demand this as important in their D Cam crashcams. Of which the FX3/FX30 is otherwise perfectly suited towards being. It is not an Alpha camera.

A lesson here for any future purchases: If you're buying a Sony camera primarily for filming with, get one of their FX Series bodies which is foremost designed for, not an A Series body that's for the stills photographers.

Well, here is something I got tagged in yesterday that I worked on (as the Sound Mixer of course): https://www.instagram.com/p/CquYJX2vwrm/ Can't seem to see any trailer for 女儿来了 (My Daughter Is Coming) anywhere online though? Here is a little review of it: https://hongi.co.nz/news_article/asian-new-zealand-film-makers-represented-in-nationwide-festival/ (and the whole thing can be viewed online, but costs $$: https://ondemand.showmeshorts.co.nz/film/nu-er-lai-liao-my-daughter-is-coming/ ) Was shot by Darryl Wong on an ARRI AMIRA: https://www.instagram.com/p/CRxtDvMs61C/

They literally mean what the words say. "Pixel binning" is taking the average for that bin. While "Line Skipping" is skipping over entire lines, no calculations done whatsoever. That is why line skipping generally performs so much worse. Sound Devices is missing from the list of brands 😞

D-Cam duties is all it deserves.

Better than it being in black!

Or fold the packaging flat, so that you can post it back to yourself cheaply. Then you can reuse the packaging to get a bit higher selling price when you inevitably end up selling your gear in six months time.

I hope with this second zoom lens from Samyang they learned their lessons from their first zoom lens? As I think it got a kinda bad rap for being poor build quality? Hopefully this second go at a zoom lens is built to a higher standard.

And it is so dirt cheap to buy a P4K that there would be plenty of spare cash left over to buy a secondhand Panasonic G9 for the photography as well! And you can share the lenses easily between both cameras.

I agree, the next generation of us filmmakers will more likely have come up via a pathway of being aspiring youtubers/tiktokkers/instagrammers than because they were aspiring to be the next Richard Deakins The B Cam Op on the film I just finished was yet another example of exactly that, he was a fairly successful Instagram Influencer who has now transitioned over into the Camera Dept on film sets. (owns a RED Weapon and RED Komodo)

By far and by far the one I use the most is a Sound Devices 833. Oh wait, that isn't a camera.... I guess my phone then??

And that's why people have reported.

They've "make it for $10K" but they probably put in a quarter million dollars worth of their own time and energy! (well, probably once counting a few other key collaborators as well)

It is not just while recording, but simply being on that apparently it can overheat under certain conditions

Correct about Canon, totally wrong about Panasonic. They're quite open and welcoming!

ohhhh.... I like a good conspiracy theory! And this one has some legs. Let's see how quick the firmware update comes out.

Yeah, I'd happily do one music video for US$500. Just for a refreshing change of pace from the usual. Because these days I basically almost never ever work on music videos (just one in the past year, and only a couple in the past couple of years before that). Especially as I'm so focused on the Sound Dept now.

The FX30 has timecode too! And has a different UI that is better suited for filmmaking, than one for photography. btw, I wouldn't call it "so much worse" though for low light. I'd still happily use the FX30 in low light conditions.

Bet it will have built in 9:16 & 4:5 & 1:1 ratios for easy social sharing. (last week I was working on a high end film shot on a 5:4 ratio!!)

That is brutal. Just to get a basic yearly income he'll have to do two each and every week! And that includes: marketing to find new clients, onboarding them, doing the preproduction, doing the shoot itself, doing all the postproduction himself (otherwise that eats into profits) and delivery!

Yeah music videos have bad budgets, but at least they're only half a day long to perhaps maaaybe as long as a four day shoot. But a feature film will be 10x as long!
