Hey, Do you have the paid Sony software update? Otherwise the FS700 is outputting 8bit only instead of possible 10 and12bit.

Hey guys, I´m a great fan of classic Andrew Reid stuff like this one telling about Richard Gales Nex5 mod. Are there any other cool mods going on by Richard or others? I just think this looks so pretty:) Here is this super cool article by Andrew: http://www.eoshd.com/2012/07/mystery-camera-revealed-sony-nex-5n-in-cine-housing-with-cooling-mod/

Loved many of Andrews articles, like that one about Top Gear and his Digital Bolex material, also his older articles are treasures. If you google eoshd and cmount or Pentax 28mm or even GH2 you´ll find tons of awesome stuff to read from him or forum members. Often this site and forum give great topics for further online research. So, it´s a great thing to express your appreciation, @HelsinkiZim!

i second that. slog is a nono for super lowlight! better shoot a cine profile. your posted footage is super low light, if you consider you had to go iso4000 AND f1.8 for that small illumination you were able to capture. iso 4000 with moderate lowlight is no problem. i imagine if you shoot 15k iso with your a7s and slog in that little light you´ve shot this, you will see h264 artefacts on a big screen. hey lewis, how much did you pay? wanna sell it to me for a price adequate to your disappointment?:)

Hey, color looks awesome, movement on the unbalanced big crane too. What profile settings did you use? Did you do the firmware update for the 50mbit mode? cheers

I also thought, that is some seriously beautiful looking color. You put that in perfect words: the CLASSY Panny look. A great unique Panny color signature. Stab used CineD 8bit and Leeming Lut. His other videos show, that 8bit Pannys can look really great in natural and tungsten light, but not so awesome in fluorscent light. Other posters have said that before, think JCS was one of them.

They shot this on Firmware 1.0. Last firmware is supposed to switch temporal noise reduction off in VLOG.

Also, in your posted video one can see this: with ultra wide lenses the effect on perspective and z axis is strong when changing crop.

Softness is from the HD processing of the GX85, which is not close to Lumix G6 HD quality, which was pretty awesome

Wouldn´t guess, people sayin that about the GH cameras. People have always been exited about the image quality. Some like Panasonic the best, some Sony, a lot of them like Canon, at least for the colors:). Different tastes. But there are hundred times more people liking GHs and G7,8,85 for what they are, low price cams with some of the best image quality of its range. Too bad, Panasonic has lost love for HD quality in their GX85 and possibly G85 cameras. Here are two examples what a GH3 was and still is capable of. For the Mekka music video, I don´t dig the prologue with the icecream shop, but the rest looking awesome.

I like the output:)

Hmm, gonna check that one out. Seems like no one has other favorites than us and is already satisfied with Tony Zhou and co:) Cinematography Database is also interesting or masterclass:

Hallo, I think there are a lot of great people out there producing fun and engaging content. There are the usual suspects of course, but then also some of the more interesting kind. So who are your favorite people where you can stop by and have a great and relaxing or engaging tech or cinephile watch? I start with Tony Zhou, Sareesh Sudhakaran from wolfcrow and this kid:)

Hallo, F stop was 2.8, all shots at the same Fstop. My sample might be faulty in the regard of the lightness in the middle of the frame. It´s a fun and beautiful lens for s35 crop video. Also got a Tamron 20-40 waiting for its EF to Fmount adapter to put on my EF china booster:) And waiting for a Tokina 25-50 F4 and a Sigma 35 70 2.8-4 to arrive! I´m becoming a sucker for these small zooms. And I bought a beautiful Kiron 28 f2.0 in Contax mount, my 28mm F2.0 Zeiss substitute

Exellent!:)

Samples from my Tokina 24-48mm 2.8. I think it has a little optical flaw, like there was a light leak in the middle of the lens. This only shows, when contrast is hightened in post. Otherwise, beautiful lens, for which I would estimate a TStop of around 3.3-3.8 across the zoom range. Measured it against an Oly XZ10 with its fixed lens starting at f1.8. With focal reducer the Tokina becomes another stop brighter fortunately. Screenshots from gx80 in 1080p 24p with IBIS + electronic stabi. GX80 in HD seems not up to the nice HD resolution of the older m43 Lumix cams like GH2,3,4 and G6. Maybe it is caused by the additional electronic stabilization.

Oh, I thought you also bought a FS700 plus Odyssey and was looking forward to hear your thoughts about that combo. So, looking forward to your GH5 footage then, if its as awesome as your c100 and GH4 Vlog footage. Maybe you´re in the market for a real Varicam camera too, that brandnew beautiful Varicam mini for 4999USD

Well, thought the lower 12 megapixel count and some clever processing would make it more sensitive than an G6 or GH4 sensor, maybe not the newer ones in the G7 and such. Thus making it about 1stop more sensitive than a GH4, being that, iso 1600 and f5.6 looking the same as iso 800 and F4 on mft. The sensor and processing in the c100 and c300 line have always been punching above its weight, being two stops more sensitive than the s35 sensors from the FS700 and FS7.

Right! Just since the 1:1 HD crop in ETC mode has been around since GH2, why not make it stepless? Liking the possiblity of a 1.4 crop in 4k for the GH5, making it an awesome tool for super16 glass. Guess a good estimate of loss in light sensitivity for this s16 mode could be exactly the factor of 1.4. That would mean IS0 350 in crop looking like ISO 500 in full mft sensor coverage or 1400 like 2500 on full mft sensor. So ISO 1600 in 1.4 crop should still look good, just like Black Magic Pocket but with much higher resolution.

Hey Mike, looking great! So EOS Standard is just Canons out of the box ENG style profile? Regarding High ISO, would you say it can compete with G6 or later GH4 or G7, say ISO 1600 at F5.6 equalling ISO 800 and F4 for Micro Four Thirds, or even 3200 iso and f5.6 eq ISO 800 and F2.8 for mft?

Hallo @Andrew Reid! I just checked this video of yours, shot with a FS100 and a SLR Magic Anamorphot. The colors look awesome! Can you recall any bit of how you achieved that, choice of profile, special tricks with curves? Some of the best 8bit color on vimeo! Oh, new site looking cool, very inviting! cheers

Couldnt it have been called preview? Amazing AF is already nice for a headline. But gonna watch it anyhow. Thanks, Max! Edit: Well, just watched it. Great preview or review. AF is impressive in video and photo!

Seems like you´re having a love for HFR just like Peter Jackson! Imagine real and clean 2K without artefacts in up to 240fps in 10bit, now wouldnt that be plenty for a DSLM?

Hey Phil, thank you for you answer and examples. I feel the color palette of three of his pieces I checked from Pono Grace is very muted, but with a lack of tonality. There are great examples of pastellic, less saturated color palettes in cinema. This A7s grading seem to try to mimic that, also so color falseness and odd videoish tones can be hidden, like mimicing the great looks of film, but in Sony8bitColor instead of Fujicolor or Kodakcolor:) Ricardo Fasoli and Tu Nguyen have some nice color moments, but still there is something to that Sony color akwardness, but great examples nonetheless and great examples of wedding cinematography! It is looking pretty in its own right! But with a GH5 it would have had even better color, by a mile, I think. Bet these guys will jump on the Panny waggon soon:) It will be, I am sure. I am astonished by the color I am getting out of my GX85 in natural ooc, linear rec that is. Not Arri, it will have its own look(s) and signature(s). Some of the best consumer 8bit color I have seen was graded material from the GH line. Ungraded material often looks so lala. Canon always had great color ooc, but that we know already, as it has become a part of DSLR folklore already:) You´re right, GH5 won´t hold a candle to Canon Raw colorwise just like an apple will not to a melon size wise, but oh what a delicious apple it still is in its own right. Also colorwise!
