Black Friday Discount Purchases - What's on your shopping list?
Thomas Hill replied to majoraxis's topic in Cameras
Adorama also has instant rebates on a few of the Sirui anamorphics. I ordered the 50mm for Fuji at $500 off -
Here ya go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gtrqd-z05z-NujN5Nr6iKH0GHPmtEswI/view?usp=sharing I nudged it a hair to the left when I changed the settings but no crop.

Rigging, yes. Violating a size limit, no. FP plus the small HG-11 handgrip with the Lanparte T5C SSD holder screwed into the side of the handgrip is still tiny with a slightly fatter grip. With the this set-up, it's about the same size as the Fuji X-S10 (depending on your lens) but shorter because of the Fuji's hump on top. This is what I found the most annoying because Sigma has good stabilization in their EF 24-70mm (and others) but left it out of their L mount version. As for the AF, I've shot a bit with the S5, also. They're both fine with acquiring initial focus as @MrSMW suggests but I wouldn't leave either of them in continuous for a single-cam talking head interview of any length.

I wouldn't change anything about your process, looks great to me. And so does the one titled My N's (haven't watched any others yet).

Yeah, when I first heard about the Xperia's HDMI, I first thought that it would be great to have a phone that doubles as an external monitor. Then I saw that price tag.

Even with the usual caveats about pre-pro firmware, video AF looks good in this one that @Django posted back on page 3 https://youtu.be/NpBN7-qGgWE

Why Gerald Undone is wrong about the Sigma Fp-L
Thomas Hill replied to Andrew - EOSHD's topic in Cameras
Here's a chunk from a lengthy blog post by Kirk Tuck. If you don't follow him, he's a long-time photographer who does some video and this post is photo-focused: https://visualsciencelab.blogspot.com/2022/05/the-real-reason-to-use-one-camera-over.html -
So does the R10 with its internal 422 10bit. No Sony A6xxx even does 422/10 externally. AND the R10 is less than $1k (US).

This dude shot a feature on an iPhone with Nikon lenses in 2014. There's also an article about it on fstoppers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byvaxMFUuww&t=17s

Watched Mirror for the first time this past weekend. Such an amazing piece of cinematic poetry. And even further off topic: Homegrown Tomatoes

THIS is the kinda audio program I need: "The UI is dirt-simple: Drag-and-drop any WAV or AIFF file onto The Leveler's application window, and a few moments later you'll find a new version which just sounds better."

I've only shot 24p with mine so the crop hasn't been an issue. Besides frame rates, you can also choose a crop to get better readout speeds to improve rolling shutter but that wasn't a concern with the short that I did. All the video that I've shot has been in raw and All-I and I love the IQ. The only thing I miss from my previous Sony is the AF. On the photography side, I also love it for wandering around shooting landscapes, etc. But it wouldn't be a good choice for a portrait or wedding shooter. https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjzvp1E

Good to know. The 1440p was already giving me pause

I've been considering one of these. There's a "renewed" one for less than 300. ProArt
-
Had to let y'all know about this great deal that Adorama emailed me. Better jump on it before they change their mind
-
Thanks, one more regret to add to the long list, lol

It was a tough call but I had some editing I wanted to finish AND the same theatre is showing The Conversation next weekend. So I decided to wait on the trip to Nashville and I did finish the editing 😀

Like Spider-man, I will see The Batman after the crowds dwindle a bit. Today, I almost drove 2 hours to see M on the big screen but, instead, stayed closer to home for The Worst Person in the World and it is excellent.

Has anyone here used Vero? I had never heard of it until I read an article that mentioned Zack Snyder releasing a movie he shot on an iphone there. All the videos I found about Vero on YouTube are from 3-4 years ago when I'm assuming they did a big marketing push

Why Gerald Undone is wrong about the Sigma Fp-L
Thomas Hill replied to Andrew - EOSHD's topic in Cameras
The Snap Chick, Tech360 and Three Men and an Elephant all had early first look videos where they use the fp-L and approach it more on its own merits. But Gerald and DPreview seem to get most of the attention. -
This looks great!

Sigma Fp L adds long awaited phase-detect AF
Thomas Hill replied to Andrew - EOSHD's topic in Cameras
Toward the end of the review, Huff tests the firmware 1.0 AF in video and it looks pretty good, better than Panny and far better than the original fp. -
@Emanuel That looks great!
