Ok I bought the C500 mkII. Can't wait to create the first project with it. First tests the AF is so much smoother then my S5II, maybe not faster, but it feels more natural. As does the image. The dynamic range is not crazy better over an S5 or S5II it seems. The highlight rolloff seems smoother though. The internal Nd's are fun too.

Hmm the big miss is no internal Nd Filters. If they would have included that it would be a huge success. Looking forward to actual footage though, s1rii def looked better then the s5ii. Might pick up an used r5c(EF ND adapter) or c70 with speedbooster, that way I can have internal ND's.

Well most of us were just waiting on 50fps 4k full frame. I hope everything else improved as well. Like a better monitor, better colors etc. Prores raw internal is a bummer as resolve does not support it natively.

Thats true, allthough I am never really enjoying edits. I rather enjoy the images but thats just me.

Oh I do have an m1 macbook lying around, but I never use it. I prefer windows. But if it works better, I might need to switch.

Hi guys, So my pc is getting old around 5 years now. Playback rate is not that great in davinci resolve to the point I am losing too much time, still running an amd ryzen 1700x and gtx1080, SSD's and 32GB RAM. Not sure if there are any major breakthroughs that have sped up your editing workflow through your pc hardware lately. Thinking about getting an i9 14900k and an rtx 4070. But open to any advice! Thanks!

Hi, Any youtubers with good editing advice for fast cut edting. I think I need to step up my editing game to the fast social media age to grab attention fast. I don't like shooting vertical video either, but that seems to be the trend for instagram/tiktok these days. I have not looked into this much really, but their might be some good tips out there for vertical video also that I am unaware off. Thanks!

I see, well in my case I would be using it also for run and gun interviews with only natural light. So dynamic range needs to be great. Not sure my s5ii will make it, allthough according to cined. There is not that much dr difference with the a7siii. Maybe the highlight rolloff is nicer on the a7siii. Not sure. I wished there were more camera stores over here that would let you test stuff in their store.

Nice stuff! Have you shot any interviews with this setup?

Hi, I might go on a job trip to south america soon for a job. Video + photo. Travelling between locations, run and gun situations + interviews. So i might want to get a new hybrid camera. (S5 and s5ii atm, but I don't seem to like the highlight rolloff and the colors at times when using it run and gun, while in studio it works as an charm) . But I am unsure which one would be the best. Thinking about an a7siii (SD cards) with 24-70mm 2.8 and 70-200mm 2.8. + gymbal + Lav set. I once used an a7s ii in central america, where I liked the highlight rolloff and the colors of the camera. Low weight and speed is key I think. Long battery life as well. (No vlock batteries as they are too heavy. The camera should not overheat. And only wish to use 1 body for now for weight reasons) Any other recommendations? Cheers,

Same, costed me lots of jobs as well. As often they request the premiere/Ae project files. Or they ask if I can take over an existing premiere edit. Been working in resolve for 10 years now, and stopped using adobe because of their subscription model. All in all I might have made more money, just paying for the subscriptions.. Sorry to get offtopic a bit here.

The beauty is that you can shoot whatever resolution without crop. I would never shoot above 4k. But the 12k sure does have pretty colors.

EF, yes. Loads of EF options. The pyxis needs an extra monitor the c500ii does not. The limitation of only braw is also a dealbreaker. I hope they will include a different codec soon. As lots of clients dont accept braw.

Hi, I really like the pyxis 12K LF. But... now with the price drop on the C500II they are almost in the same ballpark pricewise. And I am not sure why I would pick the pyxis over the c5OOii. C500II: Ibis, monitor, AF(allthough blackmagic is catching up), internal ND's. pyxis 12K lf. It's newer. Might be easier to mount on a gimbal. Have not seen any image comparisons. I love the IQ from both camera's, but have not seen any side by side by these 2 camera's. Any other input? Thanks!

I would be all over that if it was an Belgian store. Allthough I saw one used for 5k a while back.
