I didn't even notice the mirror shot the first time I watched it, but after seeing it, I definitely believe it's the XC10. If you look at the way he holds the camera, you will see the way his left wrist is twisted forward because he has the grip turned. Also his right hand is supporting the base of the camera. The way it is wrapped around it looks like the base is square... which it is with the XC10. Also the way he looks at the tilting screen. And finally the motion with IBIS is exactly how it reacts and looks with the XC10. As far as the ghosting... NYC streets can be very bright, so he may not have been at that high of an ISO, so the ghosting may not have reared its ugly head. And it also seems that not all cameras had the issue. I almost wish I never sold my XC10. Such a fun camera, just a little too pricy for me. I'm hoping to pick another one up later this year at sub-$1000 price range.

Yeah it probably is the XC10. It definitely has the same look the bokeh. Have you seen @BenEricson videos with it? They're in one of the two XC10 threads... unbelievable job... looks like 16mm.

Looks cool. Those Holga lenses always intrigued me. How does it look in 16:9 or 2:35?

I really like the vintage 8mm look. It almost feels like moving polaroids. Well done.

The contrast doesn't dial back in nicely in post?

Hi, that footage was Canon's official Log profile with one of Andrew's LUTS that comes with his package. I did not load Andrew's Log Profile onto the XC10... unsure if you can. Although I really loved the camera, it cost a little too much for me, and depreciated in value a little too quickly, so I ended up selling it. I do have some 4K footage from it on one of my hard drives somewhere.

Wow... those look great. That is some high quality video from an action cam. Was there any color work done to those videos in post, or is it straight out of camera?

Yup that's the one... but I think the 810 and 750 are pretty similar for video.

There was a great documentary shot with the D750 posted here about a year ago about a fishing boat but I can't seem to find it. I think unless you really want full frame, the D500 is the better buy right about now. There is a 2.25x crop in 4K but you get all of the same features in 1080p plus IS.

You ain't kidding. I bought and tested so many cameras this year I want to cry. In the end I am going to sell them all and get a BMPCC. But first I need...? Seriously though, if you or I can't make a good movie with a 70D, the GH5 isn't going to help us either... in the end, story is king. Character arcs and themes lift stories. With indie, streaming cinema the camera used is such a microscopic part of the equation. Casey Neistat is successful because he is himself in an unapologetic way... and his wife is hot. I admit I enjoy his vlog. I enjoy the way he tells his story. Good for him for the deal. Hope he shoots his new show with a couple 70Ds too.

Moral of the story... cancel the GH5 preorder and buy a 70D?

You should like it. Everything you need is right there and it runs real smooth with even an entry level Mac.

I have Color Finale and it is a great tool with a lot of support from the maker at Color Grading Central... Denver Riddle is his name and he sends a shit ton of emails. Hah. What is really great about it is that it is the simplest layout for pro color tools. I used that before I ever tried Resolve and Color Finale spoiled me because it's so simple. I probably should have watched all of his tutorials, but I tend to lack patience and prefer to tinker... probably a big reason my coloring skills are lacking. But seriously, Color Finale is great and well worth the price. I think there's a pro version now as well and the newer version has an X-Rite color checker tool that is supposed to work great.

You can't be any worse than I am and it doesn't stop me from using CineLikeD. I think Andrew made an interesting point the other night in the GH5 download thread about coloring log and that it takes people thousands of hours to be any good at it... Damn... I don't have thousands of hours and I don't want to be a colorist. I respect the craft and I want to get nice images but in the simplest way possible by utilizing the most DR I can. So with that realization, I started wondering why I am trying to understand nodes and telecine wheels and curves when I can instead use simple slider tools from a program like Mojo II and get better color results in 3 minutes with what used to take me 10-30 minutes. I still have to get better with the program and calibrate my monitor, or get an X-Rite chart, but for someone like me, I think it makes more sense.

Nice video, natural handheld... Good stuff!!! ML Raw with the MKii?

Yeah I had to transcode and downscale to 1080p Prores. It was a quick conversion with EditReady.

Dang it... my monitor must be messed. It looked fine on my computer but now her face looks too orange on my phone... in my narrative, Neumann's wife just went to a tanning salon before her walk in the woods...

Took another try using Mojo 2 and added a little grain...

Doubt it would work, but did you try a camera reset?

Are you unclicking create optimized media on import?

D500 and a6500 Two cameras. Both shoot good video and stills.

Okay, I thought maybe the aluminum on the camera side may be tweaked a little. So it doesn't work with the Sigma 18-35mm and speedbooster either?

So no discernible difference between 20mm 1.7 version 1 or 2 as far as AF is concerned? BTW happy New Year Panny... sorry about my lack of manners.

Does the mount look bent? Camera side.

Does the Panasonic 20mm 1.7 not work well with AF in video?
