The original A7?... hmm. Similar results to a GH3? Not really. It has bags of aliasing, moire, pathetic codec and a soft image.
Not my cup of tea.
If you're going to use the 55mm F2.8, why not put it on an A7S for 1080p?
Yes 4K has a lot to do with it.
You need better lenses for it.
i dont shoot a lot of video, im more of a stils guy myself but when i shoot video i need 1080p 60fps and upload it to youtube and tbh the people who watch my videos are used to most people using t3i's shooting 720p so it defiently good enough for me. I see your argument and you make good points, still think that 1300 is ridicoulous price.

Not sure where the 8.5mm comes in.
Anyway let's take your example of 25mm F1.4 MFT versus 50mm F2.8 FF
First of all there aren't many 50s that are wide open F2.8. So are you talking about a 50mm F1.4 stopped down to F2.8?
In that case, the image will be different. It's unlikely the aperture will be perfectly round for a start, unless it has many many blades.
The bokeh will have a completely different character. No field curvature at edges on the 50 @ F2.8
The attractive vignette of an F1.4 wide open will be GONE GONE GONE. Fake it in post if you must, it won't be as nice.
Flare changes. Not as nice, more sterile.
I can always tell a fast aperture on MFT.
And so what if the depth of field is no more shallow than full frame 50mm at F2.8? That's nothing to sniff at - if, say, the forthcoming GH5 gives a LOT more than any full frame camera on the market today, but just happens to have a smaller sensor, I can take that 50mm F2.8 depth of field no problem - especially when the MFT platform has such stunning glass. So many options! 18-35mm Sigma F1.8 on Speed Booster XL! Stunning. Leica 42.5mm F1.2 Nocticron. Dreamy. SLR Magic 10mm T2.1. Cinematic as hell. The list goes on.
Aperture is about more than just depth of field.
sorry to confuse, 8.5mm aperture opening. I used to shoot gh3 with a 25mm 1.4 and just last year switched to the A7 and have been using a Nikkor 55mm 2.8 micro an am getting very similar results, what you are saying about 4k and all that is very much so true but that has nothing to do with the highly priced lens. As for a 24mm 2.8 lens that is very sharp and is very well coreccted i would like to say the olympus om one. That lens sell for around 100$, you can then ad a used 5d ii for 700$ and you are well under the 1300$ mark. Also i haven't yet seen any pics or test from the 12mm 1.4 yet so in reality its very hard to say if it worth the money. Im not trying to start an argument, just letting my opinon out there.

Yep the X Pro 2's colour is effortless, you don't need to do anything to it in post and if you just want 1080p, it's a lovely simple solution.
The magenta cast in the S-LOG 3 footage though is down to the user not being knowledgable enough with grading tools to correct it.
S-LOG is a bitch to work with, so it is partly the camera's fault and partly the user's.
I don't blame anyone who has trouble getting the colour from Sony cameras to match Fuji! It's hard!
i was also surprised by the Continous AF on the x pro 2, didn't know that it had such good capability!

Much much more difficult and much more advanced, and F1.4 will give a completely different look & feel to an F2.8 on full frame, plus it's 2 stops brighter.
It's not right to go around multiplying apertures by crop factor.
An F1.4 on Micro Four Thirds is as a big a hole as an F1.4 on full frame.
If this lens is as stunning as the Leica 42.5mm F1.2, I will be buying one.
Plus... it IS a Leica you know!? It isn't a Zeiss. It's not a Panasonic. It's not a Canon. Leica designed optics cost a lot of money for a reason.
yeah but its as big of an hole as an f1.4 on a 12mm lens, aka 8.5mm, which happens to be the same as 2.8 on a 24mm lens. I know i wont convince you but i've never seen anything that proves to me that something like an 25mm 1.4 on m43 does not give the same look as an 50mm 2.8 on FF.

Its not a f/2.8 lens though, its a F/1.4, to get that much light gathering in a UWA lens requires a lot of glass.
15 elements don't come cheap.
i mean like, you could get a full frame camera and a 24mm 2.8 for less than this lens itself and get pretty much the exact same results.
-
what a joke of a price, like really. How much harder is it to make than a regular 24mm 2.8 for full frame?

It appears that it's only the action sports/skater guys who still use canon dslr's for movie making.. they're so busy enjoying their full throttle lives they don;t have the time to sit browsing the web for the latest and greatest gear. The only other camera the action guys seem to know about is gopro and if they're happy with the ghastly image from that, a crippled 5dmk4 will be a dream. If canon didn't reach out to this crowd then they'd not sell any dslr's for video stuff
as a guy who is in the skateboarding filming industry i can confirm that +80% of the cameras used are t3i, 6d and mark iii. Some use the a7s but most stick with canon. I think the reason is that the image is "good enough" for a lot people. Seeing that a lot of skate videos still are filmed with sony x2100 and vx1000's the canon image defiently look better than those.

So i need this shot for a video im making where i click start to a song on my phone, but when i film my phone the screen turns all "rainbowy". Is this because of the moire problem of my Sony A7 or is it something else? Does anyone have a clue on how i can fix it?

Had the chance to get one with 49k clicks for 650€, with grip, batteries and 4 8GB CF cards, regret not taking it, have been lurking ebay ever since to try and get something like that, if I find one at 500€ I'll jump on it right away.
there's a couple here in sweden selling for 600$, its pretty easy to get one for that price

I will get one then, it's a fun camera, the design is so primitive I like it.
the raw video out of that camera is also really something else.

On a side note...if you are shooting handheld or you know you will want to re-time in post, it is a good idea to dial up your shutter speed to reduce or eliminate motion blur as much as possible.
That way, any optical-flow algorithm - be it Twixtor or whatever will have crisp frames to do a more accurate analysis and frame interpolation from. I do this all the time for handheld shots where i know i want to re-time to slow motion. I can then add motion blur back into the plate (if I need to add any) with RSMB - Reel Smart motion blur - plugin for AE.
the rsmb plugin is an a amazing tool once you figure it out, it has saved me a lot of times when nd wasn't an option.

FCP X also has optical flow and frame blending settings for the selected clip, in the menu under video quality. Its OK but not as good as Twixtor
i've done comparison with all the big options for optical flow/twixtor effects.
From what i could in tell this is the list i got, the things i judged was how smooth the clip got, how the background acted behind the subject and the amount of artefacts.1. Da vinci Resolve
2. Twixtor
3. Fcpx
4. after effects timewarp
5. Sony vegas (unusable)
One thing to add is if you like to add the effect which i use sometime were you have a clip of lets say a skateboarder jumping and you want do have a super slow motion clip of it just floating in the air for a couple of seconds and you slow the clip down to 2-3% i found that the built in FCPX optical flow worked the best, both twixtor and da vinci have a hard time making up that many frames and i found that i got some stuttering.

But is it as good?
i now use resolve as my main Nle instead of adobe premiere/after effects and i find the built in "twixtor" to be just as good if not better than the AE version.

The GoPro seems to have a more Gradeable video, thanks probably to Protunes. But, the lack of stabilization is really disapointing.
in reality most people who buy these cameras have no clue how to handle protune footage and they will just hear that its good then do nothing to it in post and it will look awful

I was basing the exposure on previous test at that same exposure but less lighting actually, and I was also eyeballin it. . I know , I know. I know. Which never failed me. Till now. ...The thing that upsets me the most is I can keep the setting on camera the same as far as Iso. Shutter. And keep the same f-stop. And the exactly the same lighting. But just turn off slog2 and it won't be grainy at all. But I guess if it does what you say it does to the shadows, then it makes sense. Also Nah didn't have an external recorder. I wish, but not $$. Yeah I'm sure someone will say the slog-2 thing and 8-bit. I reAlly like this camera. I got nice images from it on previous projects in good light and low light in slog s-gamut and cine and rec709. Just not this time.
A little thing i've used when exposing dslrs with very flat picture profiles is to try expose the scene first with the slog then switch to the standard picture style just to see the exposure then go back and change the settings and repeat till you got something good, you will often notice that you are underexposing very much because in slog everything is in the midtones.
-
the picture in the first post is very very under exposed, all log profiles have noisy shadows especially if you are at iso 3200+. i recommend you to shoot +1 even when in low ight situations

you can use it on a7 (i have done it). They just mean you "cant" use it in full frame mode because you get a massive vignette. In apsc mode it works great.
