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.

Oh yeah, I just mean the day by day hustle corporate video's. Its just time I can spend with my family instead. If it is an passion project or art project it is different, then I will try everything by hand to get the best possible result. But in business its time I dont get paid extra for + all the AI applications are more or less aimed at repetitive tasks that dont require that much creativity.

This AI stuff is great, it saves so much time, creating subs, remixing music, mixing the audio, soon it prolly will match log footage from different camera's perfectly. And then you can creatively focus on the overall grade.

Yeah If it becomes subscription based, and it is in the Adobe price range. I might jump ship, as photoshop and Lightroom would be nice to have. We will see. I really hate the adobe subscription model.

Just watched the first episode, it feels a little a bit gimmicky to me. Sometimes the lighting is a bit boring, as that is normal as you can't lock off shots like you do on static shots. I rather have something more stylistic. With cuts between ECU's, wides, medium shots, cutting between characters to build suspense etc. Might be a bit more classic approach, and maybe in my head that works better. Never the less they did an fantastic job nailing an entire episode in one shot. (The studio episode 2 is also done in similar style)

That 12k sensor does have some mojo going on. As good as Alexa? doubt. But the Alexa is soooo heavy + lowlight is better on the pyxis.

I don't think this will affect me so much, gear wise. Might be a good way to avoid GAS. Not sure in what parts of my life this will hit though.

Seems to be the pyxis 12k. (Doesnt seem to have internal ND, and only braw. No prores) just saw the banner on the NAB windows.

I hope proress gets released on the newer cameras again + internal ND on the full frame cinema 6k sensor.

The void gap that can be filled is business talk. I fear it is too tech / creative oriented. And the business side is ignored. Openly communicating about prices/locations/jobs seems a bit taboo at times. While that part is the part that feeds their kids( most important. ) and I feel most creatives arent naturally gifted in that division.

Just my personal experience, no side by side tests though. Metabones for example in the sony cameras was a huge mess. Slow + need to reconnect often. Havent had that issue once on a panasonic camera.

Sigma indeed.

What do you mean with best adapters? That you can mount the most lenses to it? The thing about L-mount I like is that how great the autofocus behaves with adapted EF lenses, much better then any e-mount camera I have used though.

Hi, Now NAB is coming along pretty soon, I fear the GAS is starting again to peak my interesting in shooting once more. So this time I might create a list of things that I want/need before I yolo in again. But I feel a bit older, and I want to simplify my life and want to save time each shoot. - Improvement on DR - Improvement on color science - 4K full frame 60FPS - internal ND's: My next camera should have internal ND's again, it saves so much time searching, mounting VARI-nd's or matteboxes. So prolly my main requirement. - Good internal audio: I don't like dragging along my Zoom H6 along anymore, so recording audio straight into camera might also be a big thing for me. (at least panasonic has an addon for their mirrorless cameraes). - Good internal monitor, this is one of the main attractions of enjoying a camera for me. I don't feel motivated shooting with a camera while the internal monitor sucks. If it is a good monitor I am so more hyper to start editing. If not, then I will keep postponing it to the last minute. - good battery life, I don't like changing battery's every 30 minutes. - body on the smaller end, as it easier to mount on sliders, gimbals, tripods etc. - if the body is too small, it will endure lots of micro jitter so in that case I will need some IBIS. - recording onto SD or cfast (as that is an medium I have lots of cards for). - lastly and least important is AF I think. Maybe I am already missing some stuff that you guys think that is a huge time saves, please let me know! (also hope someone will launch an affordable 600W COB light) cheers

8k is so overkill. When shooting raw, 8k eats too much storage. Best news of this camera is no crop 60fps 4k! Finally panasonic has done it. But I wont upgrade from s5ii zs qi dont see the need. The footage doesnt seem that much better vs the s5ii.

I hope it also works for android phones...

this is a pretty cool pocket camera. I never expected canon to come out with a camera specced out so good. Built in Nd Filters, cooling fan, canon log 3.. Makes me wonder why they didnt include built-in ND's into camera like the S5II, A7SIII and so on. And now all of a sudden a pocket camera has it. Some of the key features of the PowerShot V1 include: 1.4″ CMOS sensor Ultra-wide angle 16-50mm zoom lens 4K 60P recording Canon Log 3 Built-In Cooling Fan Built-in ND Filter (3-stops) 30fps stills performance (electronic shutter)

I think you are right. I just watched this video on youtube,and I said wow this looks nice, Wanted to see what lenses and camera they used. And offcourse it was an alexa with lomo anamorphics.... Allthough you have to take in consideration of the lightning, set design, talent and crew (people who use this type of gear usually have more experience overall).

Hi, Back in the day, I loved browsing vimeo for cool projects. Now vimeo has banned browsing video's in Europe (unless you use a vpn). What are you using to find cool projects/video's today? Youtube is hard to find anything good as your feed gets blasted with camera tests, instructional video's, vlogs etc. Not sure if there are any good facebook groups where talented people share their work, as most groups are spammed with mediocre work/projects. Just looking for exceptional work that I can use as inspiration. As over the last years I found it harder to find good inspiration and most of the work I see out there is more or less the same. Any recommendations/tips? Thanks!

Have not seen the deal in europe.
