I wonder what he would use instead at $5k for 4K internal, 4K raw output, 240fps, 13 stop dynamic range LOG recording, Super 35mm sensor and the added bonus of 10bit 4:2:2 internal recording?! Not to mention a built in electronically variable ND filter.

A Canon?!

To utilise 4k RAW u need to spend 3000$ more. 4k internal is 8bit 4:2:0...!!!? 240fps buffering!!

I am definitely not going to use canon. I use sony A7s and rx10ii. they both do a great job. they both come for 3000$. RX10ii has 240fps buffering, Log recording, 4k internal, Built in ND filter and A7s has very good full HD. With this combination i was able to many jobs. I don't know how worth it is having 4k 8bit 4:2:0 and s-log3 for 6000$.

May be i should use it once!

I already use A7s and RX10ii  combination for most of the works. they both cost me up 3000$. 4k RAW will add me 3000$ more. only thing they both don't have is

10bit 422, that too in Full hd. if its in 4k hell ya its worth every penny. 

Dear Andrew, i still don't believe you brought this camera with mediocre specs, But i respect your choice. 

No XAVC-I

only 8bit 4:2:0 

100Mbit in 4K[Ultra HD]

No DCIP mode...?

In 1080p its 240fps cache record[Buffering] limited  50Mbit/s bitrate...

Why do you always support sony? even though their bad user interphase and very bad skin tones.

I recently had a client who traveled from Dubai and one from Hong Kong. 

They both said that there are plenty of people who own a RED, Arri, Canon C300 II - but it's rare that any of these people have any actual talent. The ideology is different in that it's what you own, rather than what you can do. 

They came to the UK to get "different, creative lighting" as they can't get it where they are. 

The UK is a definitely what you can do, rather than what you own kinda place. Everyone wants quality. 

Here people brought Reds like chickens. Biggest problem is lack of style or a method 'you' follow to create a certain visual. Its all random. 

In india, mostly from south. People ask for what equipment you have, rather than what can u do. India has tons of jobs, as long as u do it for cheap.

The d810 will be better for both, unless the stills you want to do are above iso 200-400. The d810 has iso64 that gives the best image beside mediumformat backs.

The sony a7rii has an electronic shutter mode, but I don't know if its supported with the timelapse app. Battery life and reduced dynamic range should also be kept in mind (I believe it had less DR when using electronic shutter but I might be mixing cameras here).

And before I forget, some nikon lenses don't have consistent apertures, this means that between frames, when using lower aperture values, the exposure will vary and produce flickerimg. Maybe nikon has fixed this somehow, but when I was into timelapses it was something that people would run into a lot with nikon cameras.

Sony supports time-lapse video through paid app, but its limited to Full HD only

I guess it has same bad video focussing and soft image in 240fps and very bad low light performance, But 600mm might solve bokeh issues also it might increase 

focussing distance further. 

Thank you Monica66,

I have been using catalyst browser. very useful. Free of cost

1] 2k raw

2] vectorscope

3] 1080p 240fps[no buffering]

4] 5inch amoled display

5] proress 444 12bit

6] optional pl mount adapator

7] esay user interface[ like BMCC]

8] LUT reference [rec.2020]

9] prime lenses [least 3 more] 15/50/135 mm

10] PDAF[ similar to dual pixel focussing]

Thank you Saadawi and Mercer.

Yes FCPX taking XAVC-S files. But yes if i want to do batch transcoding there is no option than few paid apps like Editready. 

Davinci won't run on macbook[laptops]. so for now i will use FCPX. Hope mpeg stream clip updates soon.

any other free softwares? 

Its been two months i brought Sony Rx10ii and never had a job needed shooting on 4k, Only full HD. 

Now i had a job. Can anyone plz give me a solution to convert 4k xavc-s files to pores hd bit easily than FCP X Pro. i was unable to do..

Thanks a lot.

Thank you Andrew. Nice review. I will start playing with mine. 

What doest it mean an ISO in sports mode? does it apply to genral [all kinds of] shooting ?

thanks in advance. 

its been 6 days Andrew. I have checked EOSHD like 100 times from then. sorry if i am too interested.  

Yes man i got one recently. But i am entirely new to Slog and sony system. Thought i could learn something from others.

Its been a month this camera is in market haven't found detailed and low light plus HFR video quality review!

Although i am waiting for Andrew review on it, plz fellows post some videos and article about RX10ii. thank you.

I don't think sony has good market share in india. people here use a lot of panasonic cameras for videography and the rest is canon and little amount of nikon. Although i brought it from a dealer he said he sold the first one to me. But its down south, hyderabad i am talking about. mumbai, delhi, banglore, chennai might have been selling from a while now.I can say its easily available. 

Yes man. i got it for 75k [1146$] from sony dealer.

Hello all,

Finally sony replied about recording limit. its 29min in 4K.

Web site was mistake. I got mine delivered yesterday. with 29min recording..

Guys there is good news,   

Sony A7s ii is getting released very soon/just got a confirmation from sony.  they are just waiting for the Sony A7rii to be getting released everywhere. Like india and some south american countries. 

Got very little info on specifications are, same base ISO,3200 But with internal 4k recording higher bit rate than A7rii.

I felt really bad when i knew about it, since i shoot mainly events. RX10 is a versatile camera with all the goofy frame rates and S-log and supreme 4k. have strongly  decided to buy it, thats when i knew it has f-king 5 min limit. hmm...may be i wait for panasonic contender. 

Yes,  rest of the world has this timings, but in Asia RX10ii also has limit on 4k video recording 5 min.

Samyang cine 24mm f/1.4 is an awful lens.  It won't focus below f/2.8. Tried 2 lenses results are same. they better have a good thought about releasing dedicated cine lenses.
