    Cant decide between the 20mm f1.2 and the 2000mm f3.9
    Any thoughts??????????????????

    IronFilm got a reaction from Kisaha in The Samsung NX300 stays alive!   
    The old Samsung NX300 is still getting good use on shoots! :-) Not a dead system yet. I used my NX300 for this vlog for my youtube channel.
     
    Was about using an Atomos Shogun Inferno on this shoot I did to tap into the "slow motion" 60fps from our Sony PMW-F3 cameras for this dance scene, it came out beautifully:
     


    The most shit audio ever in the world. but that is because the room we were in sucked. This was just using the NX300 audio. I wished it had an audio 3.5mm jack!

    Tonnes of people shoot at 1080/2K with a 4K camera. 

    At a wild guess I'd say well under half of the shoots I'm on are done at 4K
    But raw 1080 would be a substantial crop

    I'd rather use the full sensor to shoot at 1080 ProRes HQ

    IronFilm got a reaction from Charlie in Shoot a film in 6 hours   
    Sometimes I'm tempted to go shoot an entire feature film improvised with only a rough outline, but that is just because I'm lazy and I need to find a script writer to partner with!

     
    It was an on camera mic? (oh wait, maybe maybe there was one lav)
    Nearly 10 minutes is quite a long short film to do in only 6hrs, I'd keep it more compact. From my skim over your film I feel it would benefit from snappier cuts?

    But then again a couple of weeks ago I shot around 20 pages of script in only a single day :-o Shit

    But yeah, I think it will be beefier with the ergonomics that NX1 users liked rather than the awkwardness of the early Sony products

    No need to feel sorry for us PC users. Resolve has been cutting through 4K raw like butter for years.
    I've been shooting raw exclusively since 2013. Stopped using proxies in 2015. I've only ever used regular consumer hardware for post. Frankly, raw is old news for PC users.

    I'm not sure if you're being literal, or sarcastic (it's so hard to tell on forums..) but I think that fixating on just one aspect of this camera is a bit silly.
    It's also a RAW camera, a prores camera, a BM colour science camera, a m43 camera, a non-IBIS camera, a fixed-screen camera, etc etc etc.  All equally relevant aspects to discuss.
    Talking about shooting 1080 in a thread about a camera that shoots RAW 1080 seems quite relevant to me, especially considering the enormous file sizes of 4K and high image quality of RAW 1080 I think a lot of people will shoot various flavours of 1080 with it when it comes out.
    My prediction is that lots of people will be viewing this camera as a BMPCC where they fixed the battery issues, the screen issues, the sound issues, etc, as well as the people who will be viewing this as a camera that shoots 4K.  I'm not aware of many discussions around the BMPCC v1 where it was criticised for the image quality not being sufficient, and I'm sure that lots of cameras in 4K are poorer performing than the Pocket 1 or 2 are in RAW 1080.

    The rumored specs have listed 5-axis for quite some time. If Fuji can do it, I'm willing to bet Nikon can too.

    I have a good feeling about this system, with a very big mount they can make big lenses near the sensor that correct the light angle to be peroendicular to the sensor, resulting in tiny spectacular lenses. Please someone with actual optics knowledge correct me on this.

    IronFilm reacted to Andrew Reid in Nikon FF Mirrorless   
    The adapter is really important for me, I don't have much appetite to clear out all my existing Nikon glass.
    And I am sure that goes for a lot of Nikon shooters who are interested in mirrorless.
    I can use my Nikon stuff on Sony E-mount with AF, although to be honest the AF sucks - it might be that the data bus on Nikon's lenses is too slow to support PDAF on sensor, which is where that patent would help, with the traditional mirror box PDAF.
    A mirror inside the adapter would be really a shame though. They have PDAF on sensor (at least according to the leaks), and surely they can find a way to make it work well with Nikon F mount lenses, even if the bus is slower than Canon EF.... Maybe that patent was just covering their options from a while back before the final spec of the camera was developed.
    Not sure there is much customer demand to add a mirror to a mirrorless camera

    Hopefully they have two adapters:

    1) for modern Nikon F lenses which is very good but relatively affordable
    2) supports ALL Nikon F lenses ever made, but more pricey and complex?
    They should have shot the video with a Canon to hide what is in the shadows. Boom.... roasted

    i like how Nikon made it official on the day of their 101th b-day!
    What excites me the most about the promo page is:
    "our ongoing mission is to guide light into the formation of truly superb photos and videos."
    please Nikon, give us proper video specs!!
     Not necesarily imo. I think they're aim is to primarily make people shift from Sony/Canon/Fuji/Panny. Current Nikon users will probably wait for the adapter (which will surely be available if not at launch, soon after).
    I'm also anticipating a strong compelling lens offering, especially if the F0.95 rumored primes are true. That could be a game changer alone.

    From today's Guardian 'One 4Chan user justified sharing the video created by Harmon – who has been a vocal critic of the US president, Donald Trump – as retribution for the downfall of Roseanne Barr: “If they get to take scalps for someone making racist jokes, we get to take scalps for them making paedophilia joke.”
    Most of this has nothing to do with PC culture, it is more to do with the internet giving every keyboard warrior access to a loudspeaker.

    A comedian walks on stage and tells a joke.
    He plays an act, where he is a serial killer with a stammer and silly walk.
    Does that make him a murderer?
    According to Disney they actually couldn't.
    Walt Disney Studios chairman said: ‘The offensive attitudes and statements discovered on James’ Twitter feed are indefensible
    That's an interesting way to describe an edgy fictional comedy act... as a real life attitude?!
    A statement?!
    Give me a fucking break.
    Yeah but, Einstein, I'm not defending the jokes. I'm not defending the content. I'm defending the person and the concept of making edgy jokes 10 years ago without them being dug up by a right wing fanatic in order to end a top filmmaking talent's career.
     Have you even listened to what he had to say upon being fired?
    "My words of nearly a decade ago were, at the time, totally failed and unfortunate efforts to be provocative. I have regretted them for many years since – not just because they were stupid, not at all funny, wildly insensitive, and certainly not provocative like I had hoped, but also because they don’t reflect the person I am today or have been for some time.’
    I'd argue they didn't even represent who Gunn was 10 years ago, because it's fiction.
    An act.
    Yeah, I always have to lower the bar when talking to idiots

    You think kids are evil. Clearly.

    You BETTER delete your past tweets!!
    ?
    Is there?
    Edgy jokes don't violate criminal law. Fact.
    Do you think I am in a Larry David sitcom or something?
    I do understand social etiquette.... in real life.
    On the internet it doesn't work the same way.
    In real life, we don't do things like we do on Twitter.
    Twitter isn't a real life dinner date - do you think it is?!
    You have laws that protect people from jokes?
    Name one.
    And finally a reminder for late comers to the topic... I am not defending the content of his jokes at all. Easy to confuse, as I said from the beginning. No - I am defending James Gunn, the human being... and the artistic license we have to make jokes, sometimes shit ones, free speech, a huge filmmaking talent, the concept of edgy humour, jokes on twitter, and most of all the ability to grow as a person in the course of 10 years and not to have past errors hung around your neck for all eternity with no ability to move on from the past... Gunn stopped making stupid tasteless jokes a long, long time ago.
    Stephen Fry articulates it far better than I ever could...
