What will you want to have once you have what you wanted to have?
-
Eh. You want sanitized opinions, lots of other places online for it. There's drama here, but it's pretty innocuous stuff -- it's simply about cameras and the misc things around that. It's not life and death.

Still can't stop liking Oly. It's just...man, the things you can do easily with their stuff is just fun. The enjoyment factor compensates for the slightly-behind-the-curve IQ specs. Cant wait to see the Em5III.

"Why I won’t be buying the upcoming Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K" Ha! This is awesome and why this forum is legit. Warts and all. Andrew feels slighted, lets everyone know why, and lays it all out online. Don't have to agree or admire the guy, but at least he lets you know where he's coming from.

FWIW, Fuji's default images go readily into the blacks more than any other brand I've worked with. I like the look in stills, but not so much in video. It's a subjective thing.

Time to incorporate a Fuji camera into the banner logo?

Panasonic announcing a full frame camera on Sept. 25???
fuzzynormal replied to Trek of Joy's topic in Cameras
Well...what market, exactly? The consumer photo enthusiast market? I mean, I've literally had an Olympus high-def camera shoved up my ass. So there's the "camera-that-gets-shoved-up-a-patient's-ass" market and all the accompanying medial field stuff. -

I don't know. It seems rather simple to me. When the enthusiast market evolves to offers what it offers, enthusiast consumers in that market tend to buy those items. We're in a era where regular people aren't really buying cameras anymore and that really shifts development priorities among manufacturers. You also mentioned filmmakers. I don't think commercial filmmakers play around with hybrid cameras. They have the means to go up market. That doesn't mean that hybrids aren't great tools, jus means that pros go to pro gear. -

The market is going places that are completely logical. My credit card will get bruised yet again in the coming months/years. I just find it ironic that I'm going to end up, with the development direction of hybrid gear, pretty much where I started a decade ago: Shooting FF video on a stills camera. And, when you really get down to it, modern IQ in hybrids is a lot better --but it's not like it's mind-blowingly better than what well-lit scenes shot on a 5DII can capture. If you told me I HAD to shoot a 5DII tomorrow for a job, I'd feel fine about it. But that's me. Even though I shoot a lot of 4K, I still finish my edits in 1080. -

The spread of IQ quality between BM and any other camera is so vast the only way to even converse about the difference is to compare it to poo. Or, maybe, the image-quality-gap these days across the board these days between brands is actually rather minuscule. Huh. Wonder which one it is? -
The camera doesn't make the craft. It's just a tool. So, use decent tools. The OP asked which is more important. Codec or AF. I put both of them very very low on the priority list, but since those are the two choices I say codec. Ever try shooting video with a Nikon D90? Hoo boy.

Nikon Z6 features 4K N-LOG, 10bit HDMI output and 120fps 1080p
fuzzynormal replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
"Nikon put some rich bastards in a fancy car to make a stunning blown-out highlights compilation reel, which resonates with absolutely no photographer or filmmaker anywhere." Ha. Watched that vid and thought, man, I'm good enough to make something that flawed. How do I get hired for those types of gigs? -
No. A client requested 60p 4K, so I went with the GH5 for the time being. As you know, I really like the EM5II, so I'm patiently waiting to see what they'll do with that model's next upgrade.
-
I think it is. It wouldn't be the camera I'd reach for first if I was wealthy and had other brands flagship cams laying around, but that preference kinda comes down to ergonomics, really. I've found stills IQ impressive paired with my Oly 12-40 2.8. At 1/50th, you can get a lot of clean blacks 'kuz you won't be too high on the iso. Also, the whole 6K burst thing it does is an under-appreciated tool that more photographers should exploit.

Wishes for 10 years on from the birth of mirrorless
fuzzynormal replied to sanveer's topic in Cameras
Oh, I'd love that. -
Rumors... but it seems likely if only to keep on par with the competition. They're typically a year or so behind on video specs.
-
Rumblings that Olympus is doing similar in the near future as well.
-
This is like worrying about what pencil to use on your SAT test. That said, I'd prioritize codec.
-
If it's a digital zoom, then what's the point? All drone footage can be manipulated to do this in post.
-
Wealth addicts. It's a strange affliction.
-
I wonder, is it easier to make money as a hustler, or just figure out a stable career and roll with that? Maybe the chase exploiting a mark offers some sort of insidious thrill... I don't know. Just know I've never been inclined to take advantage of anyone in order to get wealthier.

Panasonic GH5 10 bit internal recording not good enough
fuzzynormal replied to interceptor121's topic in Cameras
It's good 'nuff for me. Serious question: are people complaining about this tech actually trying to make anything "for reals" with it? If this is strictly a technical discussion, I'll disappear --but I'm operating under the assumption that some of us are actual creatives. Yeah, I'm feeling salty, but I do find it amusing that many shooters prone to making videos of municipal park leaves, or people walking through tourist destinations, care so much about the the barely discernible nuances and intricacies of codecs. I don't know, maybe I shouldn't be bothered by it. If people want to grab that tiger by the tail, go for it. Who am I to say? -
Top Gun: first feature film to be shot with a Sony VENICE?

Don't talk to me about Top Gun unless Harold Faltermeyer is playing a synth and there's grad filters on the lens.
