Looks real sharp to me.

Enabling 10bit raw video on the mini Canon 100D
BenEricson replied to Andrew - EOSHD's topic in Cameras
This is really cool. So compact. Can this do 60p or 48p at 10 bit in raw? I love the 5D3 Raw image, but something cheaper that I could throw on a tripod would be awesome. -
Superior to the c300ii? ? I'm mainly talking about the Fs5 and Fs7, since they are similar in features.
-
Color and autofocus. First and Third are Sigma 18-35 1.8 - The second shot is with the 70-200 at 2.8. ISO 1000. First take, nails focus the entire path. The Sony FS5/FS7 can look nice, but this horribly lit hospital would be pretty tough. This is C300ii.
-
Yes, the XC10 is ALMOST so good. The stabilizer is really great. I love the color you can get, but the image is a bit unreliable. In the right setting however, it looks amazing.

A "match" is also subjective. The C200 does do 10bit/422 to a recorder, so there's that. Throw a video assist or a 200 dollar ninja on top and you're good. The 10 bit/422 images out of the C300ii look like alexa, so I am sure the C200 will look absolutely amazing. Clean images. I wish the C300ii had the low bit rate 4k codec the C200 has. I shoot a lot of projects in 1080 because of the space requirements. Shooting a full day of b roll and interviews is an insane amount of CF card space.

C300ii sensor. No.

Less is more. I would push them out at separate times, probably the better one first.

Two Things I've Learned - Shooting 16mm Glass on the Blackmagic MIcro
BenEricson replied to Ed_David's topic in Cameras
Thanks. Gotcha. Come to think of it, most of the nice Digital Bolex stuff I have seen avoid those scenarios... It was overcast but well lit, pretty much optimal for the limitations you're describing. For some reason I thought you were shooting a doc or narrative with this setup, just remembered that was the Ursa Mini. -
Two Things I've Learned - Shooting 16mm Glass on the Blackmagic MIcro
BenEricson replied to Ed_David's topic in Cameras
This has so much nice texture to it. Curious why you decided to go with the Micro rather than a digital bolex? I know they're cheaper and you get 60p with the micro, but the Digital Bolex is pretty special. Shot this 3 years ago. The movement you get on Super 16mm zoom lenses is one of my favorite things ever. Svitar 26mm 1.1 C Mount Lens and a Som Berthiot 17-85 f3.8 Compact Zoom Lens. I really recommend the 26. Razor sharp at 2.8 and on, but a really cool look if you shoot a 1.1 wide open. -
I agree with the fs5. I don't think bit rates really matter when a baked mode on the 5d3 produces a better image. That sensor is also real noisy. You could shoot 1080/422 interviews to a recorder and shoot your b roll in raw. Raw seems like such a bonus to me, this camera is closer to the fs5 in price but way ahead in the quality of images it will produce.

Best 24-70mm f/2.8 lens for 4k videography (price not an issue)?
BenEricson replied to Charles.'s topic in Cameras
That's not true... You can shoot handheld with a 70-200 2.8 IS on a Super 35mm Canon C300 and get those results easily. A bigger heavier camera will help you a bit, but the IS on those lenses is incredible. -
Not that I am defending Canon's decisions, but the 8bit 420 4k will look better than 10bit/422 from the Sony FS5.
-
Having used the XC10, the 4k version of that codec is much better. But yeah, a bit of a bummer.
-
Well UHD, which is good enough for me since almost everything is 16:9 deliver anyway... Looks like it is HDMI 2 - 10 bit/422 out. I haven't heard if you need a license or anything.
-
Exactly. C-Log is really really good. I couldn't get my FS700/7Q 10 bit 4k files to look as good as the XC10 did. The only thing holding it back was the lens options. I can't any info on this. Does the camera output 10bit/422 1080 and 4k/10bit/422? Is there a 60p out of the SDI or HDMI? I'm buying one.

Most of the people here do paid work, commercial, corporate, doc work. If you have a paid shoot tomorrow with a small crew and you're forced to blow a window or some clouds, you'll want the highlight roll off to be clean and smooth, not budget dslr looking... The Gh5 is great but that is certainly a very noticeable weakness. A lot of little differences add up to a big difference.
