The high end $100k stills camera guys I know use strobes and heavily light their real estate work.
$100K? What are you referring, houses that are $100K? I assume not.... $100K per job? Ha, we wish! A $100K of gear? Nope, you don't need that much:

@IronFilm, kind of off topic but wondering your thoughts on the Sennheiser SKP300 transmitters. Would you pick a used one up right now if it was on offer for $100?
Assuming that it is a legal frequency (and will remain so for the foreseeable future, and isn't congested in your city), I wouldn't even think about it.... just do it. That is a low price!
Assuming also you have a need for it, that you would use it as a plant mic or a reporter's mic or whatever. -

I think you also have to throw the Colorist, Editor in the mix also. You can shoot the best film in the world but once it hits the post production you better hope you have some damn good talent in there.
Absolutely agreed! Which is why I said:

Well damn ! Still gorgeous ! Really thought george lucas would be shooting with some huge 8k custom made camera or somethin @IronFilm
Not in early 2000's!! Heck, not even today in 2018 do many big blockbuster hollywood films use 8K at all10 hours ago, kidzrevil said:How do you think they got such a low res camera to look so good ? This looks incredible even by today's standards.
Great lighting / art direction / framing / camera movement / etc

Doesn't surprise me, as a top end cinema camera package (with lenses etc) could reach a similar kind of figure. -
Wait, whaaaat... there is even more recent controversy around Logan Paul?

Television station owners will celebrate a stunning political victory this week when President Clinton is expected to sign a budget measure that lets them keep two TV channels for years to come.
For a second there I was confused why you were referring to Hillary as President..... :-o #TimeTraveler #AlternativeUniverses -

It’s to be hoped that not only are those problems solved, but that the X-H1 has a full size HDMI out
Would be surprised if there is another stills camera with full size HDMI released this year (other than the GH series, which has already happened).
But one can keep on hoping! :-) -

Shooting professionally, but it is mostly run and gun real estate. However, I will be doing real estate agent commercials (where the agent talks about what a great real estate agent they are and why you should hire them), and also going to do some small business commercials as well. The pay is not great though ($200 to $300 for a video up to about 1:30 in length).
Have a friend who shoots a lot (and I mean *A LOT*) of real estate videos, like yourself. And he is absolutely 110% obsessed with workflow from start to finish to maximize efficiencies every day.
Initially starting out with a Canon 60D, then for the last year or so shooting with a Sony a7Smk2, but I'm fairly sure he doesn't even use s-log. He is in and out super fast, and pumps out the videos edited that same evening very fast too.
Probably even the mere idea of ML raw he'd laugh at!
And I'd agree, I reckon if you're getting less than a grand per video you shouldn't even be thinking about it.
Focus on effeciencies and speed of turn around instead.Maybe once every fifty houses you might come across a house which makes you go "wow, this would look really good showcased on my website!" Then sure, slow down a little, think about it more, take a bit more time to really give it the royal treatment. But no need to buy completely different gear for that. (as tempting as it might be to get sucked down the G.A.S. hole....)

The Hydrogen stuff is already done and in production. This is about a future tie-up they are in talks over at the moment - a completely new line of cinema cameras.
Yes, but if you've done the development around a new sensor, it makes sense to leverage that and reuse it in another product. So I'd give decent odds that could be happening?12 hours ago, seku said:this is what we already hoped for with the initial Scarlet (prosumerish device). Didn't pan out that way unfortunately ... but count me in if this happens :D

c200 IQ recognition, to me, reveals a causation vs. correlation issue.
Are the c200 videos better because they use a c200, or are the people and organizations that use (and can afford to buy) the c200 simply more accomplished?
This is the problem with *ALL* cameras.
Are the videos from a Panasonic G7 / Nikon D5500 / BMD Micro Cinema Camera / Sony RX100mk4 / etc "bad" because it is a bad camera or because the people are newbies with a very limited budget?
Are the videos from a Sony F35 / Panasonic Varicam LT / Canon C300 mk2 / RED Weapon / etc "amazing" because the shooter (and everyone else on his team) are talented and experienced people with a large production budget?In the end the answer is: a little from colum A, a little from column B.
Only solution is trying it out yourself, or having very controlled shout outs.
Or just simply reading as much as you can about everything, while taking it all in with a big grain of salt. -
Ah the day was pretty easy for me, as I spent the whole time at just one location!

I need to travel and it will be my "B cam". For practical reasons, I can't take two P4P on this trip.
Are you flying two drones at once?? :-o
Or is the Mavic there as your back up should anything go wrong with the P4P -

.....of my D750...
As you own a D750, and if you're shooting non-professionally (as if you're doing it professionally then the maths is different), then I'd stick with the D750 for at least another year or two? You've got a good camera there!
17 hours ago, Mark Romero 2 said:Because I shoot architecture / interiors
But seems perhaps you do shoot professionally it seems?
What kind of interiors / architecture, high end stuff? Or high volume real estate?
As if it is the latter, then I'd avoid any form of ML raw like the plague! -

how does it stack up today?
Decide yourself?
Shot with a Sony CineAlta HDW-F900, which has 3x CCD chips of 1920x1080 (one for each of RGB).
Very weirdly enough, you can still buy it??? (well, the "R" version, which is very similar)
For a sweet $80K
Or you could just buy it secondhand, right now for around $1K or $2K for the body:

The non-R original version you might even find for sub $1KLots and lots of films have been shot on it (for instance "Quantum of Solace" had part of it shot on a Sony HDW-F900R, and that film came out in 2008. Or "Four Lions" which came out in 2010):

That was cool.
Spotted a GH5 with a 100-300mm! -

I don't know if this has been posted on here??
Nah, it hasn't been. Probably because no one here has any interesting in the 1" 4K sensor from their Studio cameras. -

Spec and features wise its way ahead of the GH5 for stills and close enough in video. At least for my needs. But time will tell, wont know anything until I have tried it.
A person could just as easily say the GH5 is way ahead in specs and features for video, and close enough for stills ;-) -

Oktava!! I thought he has the 8050 and the Audio Technica for indoors sound.
Maybe he is mixing it up, but yeah I thought he owned those too.16 hours ago, Kisaha said:I am waiting a Canon C100mkIII for a long time now, maybe the GH5s will do (and the C100 will never do 10bit, no frickin' way!).
Will also cost much more than a GH5 / GH5S will, maybe even double as much!
Plus there has to be a solid 20% chance that if the C100mk3 comes out early this year it won't even have 4K! :-P Ha
16 hours ago, Kisaha said:You do the right thing @IronFilm waiting to see the real world cameras first.
Well I was never going to buy a GH5S I think (at least not this year, maybe in a year or two when the price drops down).On this topic kinda, in a couple of week's time am starting a feature film which will have a GH5 as C cam (A & B cam are a RED ONE).
Oh and this weekend am working on another short film with a GH5. -

It is included in the GH5S though! no extra costs!
Because a much much greater proportion of GH5S users would want it than GH5 owners
Sennheiser G4 is coming (available April)

A-Band is 516 - 558 MHz, and I thought that is still legal in Toronto and going to stay so (at least for now)??
But what do I know.... I'm not a local.
It is a weird thing indeed! I wonder what causes it.
Likely the algorithm to determine hyperlinks is screwed up. (".it" would make more sense.... but this dot is at the end of it. Not the start of it.)
Edit: well... that quirk seems gone, we can no longer see it.
