what tha heck!!! uhmmm wowww.... tbh i was a little shocked when i opened that 1080p file i need to see more video from this camera thanks for bringing this up dr_jon...!!!!!!!!! heres to ya

the a7r is kinda half baked for video....... and i think thats part of the reason a lot of ppl were surprised at how aggressively video forward the a7rii is~! i just sold my 7d for an rx10m2, and let me tell you, in terms of video it is a HUGE upgrade for many reasons. i mention it bc of the way you described what you need to shoot; there could be a lot of benefits there. its super easy to use handheld due to its stabilization, and rolling shutter weirdness is absolutely minimal compared to, say, the a7s. just a thought, might be worth looking into idk whats lacking in comparison is the sensor size... but for me the rx10m2 is destined to compliment a full frame a7sii......which doesnt exist yet lol. how shallow do you need your dof? speaking of the imaginary a7sii.... i dunno how long you feel comfortable waiting before pulling the trigger on this, but when the a7sii comes out the used price of an a7s may well be in your price range... but then again i dont know exactly what your price range is what are we talkin here.... $1500 or so? less? tbh id avoid the a7r entirely for video. moire/aliasing is one drawback as ebrahim pointed out; besides, youve just got way better options as ppl have mentioned. the gh4 as andrew suggested, a d750 if you can afford it as therenaissanceman said, idk theres more..... and when youre buying used theres definitely some deals out there if you hunt them down~!

whatsup misterwiggles! since the a7s came out last year i have spent way too much time reading about slog2 and being intimidated by it... because it turns out i didnt need to be...! its p easy to deal with as long as you have some crucial prior knowledge (lol). so in that spirit heres a few Quick Start Tips • the slog2 output of the rx10m2 is very similar (perhaps virtually identical) to the a7s in terms of dynamic range and how it handles color –– so all that info is totally relevant and theres a ton of it out there~! • slog2 has a base iso on these cameras which is your only option: the a7s base is 3200 and the rx10m2 is 800. as you may know the rx10m2 has a built in nd, so that can be handy, but i dont think that its variable in any way, its either "on" or "off". anyway, this base iso thing is something to be aware of: you cant just dial down to iso 200 like with the other picture profiles • as far as color goes, avoiding sgamut entirely may be a good idea. i used the "pro" color settings posted on the previous page as a starting point, and decided to dial down the saturation a tad, the yellow even more, and the magenta just a bit. this has easily produced naturalistic color which doesnt require a lut to make it look halfway normal –– just some curves and saturation to taste. what you want to do with the settings in PP7 (slog2) is up to you of course and depends on the aesthetic of your project~! • slog2 needs to be overexposed on these cameras –– 2-3 stops depending on who you want to listen to –– otherwise its a noisy hot mess. ive gotten great results throughout that range ok!!!! i am not nearly as smart as most of the posters on this board but like i said it took way too much of my life to gather this information so i hope that helps a bit other posters PUHLEASE correct me if i am wrong in any of this or something should be added or something!!! its SO fun youre gonna love it. tbh idk if ive had this much fun shooting since i got my first camera

lol agree ?

omg thank u andrew!! the only reason i could pick up an rx10m2 and start shooting slog2 for the first time with some success is because of this website. i have been reading since the gh2 days and eoshd is an invaluable resource, and moreover my favorite one ❤️

lol first thing i did

wow! what vibrant color. great work the clips match beautifully i didnt know that cranking up the saturation that high with slog2 was an option! good to know

you saw this, yes? zach: you need to find a way to get your data off your cards and back them up asap in triplicate on set when you get a shot that works, on set, that memory card is like a f------ piece of gold. you need to back that sumbitch up; not just so that you can reuse your storage, thats an added benefit. you need the security of knowing that your precious shots arent going to disappear at the literal push of a button also, i was not being sarcastic about stone cold steve austin; i love wrestling. and, to answer my own question, i think that, yes, austin will return at wrestlemania 32, its his last best opportunity. that and hes lost about 35lbs recently

I agree. Ive been busy and have only just begun my tests with the camera but i can say with confidence that the 120fps is legitimately sharp at 1080p as others have mentioned. ive only shot 100mbs so far. gradability (is that a word? lol) has exceeded my expectations also the dynamic range slog2 is capable of when exposed properly is astounding with this camera, and using it at 120fps makes me feel like this lil guy cost a lot more than $1300 most of all its fun

what a coincidence: that very same alexa lut in premiere is doin some magic on my slog2 rx10ii footage shot w a modified version of kholi's pro color settings. i just randomly tried it playing around with lumetri. im looking for a baseline of pleasing, naturalistic color and what i described is working really well

thanks for sharing this Zach (Ashcraft!). you kno whats so weird....... MY name is Zach my middle name is Kaylee??? id love to hear and see more about your experiences with the camera youre a talented guy and ive learned a lot from your posts and i enjoy seeing your work

Thats so nice thank you!!!! Im lovin this lil cam ive barely had a chance to use it, just got it the other day, but my first experience shooting with it (or any sony mirrorless for that matter) was great insofar as i found it intuitive enough to use without knowing how it worked~! it came late in the day and the sun was setting so i just wanted to get something on a memory card before dark when i took a look at what was literally the first clip i [accidentally lol] shot on my mac i was surprised and delighted –– a heck of a difference from my experience with so many lousy video tools over the years; so that makes me real happy half the reason i got this camera was to (frugally) finally get some first hand experience with the fabled and controversial slog2. i will not derail this thread with slog2 grading discussion but so far so good???

edit: oops i forgot i ended up getting this actually http://www.bestbuy.com/site/sandisk-pixtor-advanced-64gb-sdxc-class-10-uhs-3-memory-card-black-gold/7801057.p?id=1219290682626&skuId=7801057 so i cant be of any help there; it worked perfectly but it is U3. i returned it for 2 Transcends for the same price

lol thank u thats perfect im returning it when my others arrive in the mail its just temporary sicc awesome thank you so much for sharing this!!!! the 100p is so clear wth

thanks for the recommendation! ive got a couple of those transcends on the way from amazon unfortunately i dropped the ball on this and my new rx10ii is coming tomorrow and i need something in the meantime that i can just pick up in a store... does it have to be U3 or will U1 work? like would this be ok? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/sandisk-extreme-pro-64gb-sdxc-uhs-i-memory-card-black-red/3827055.p?id=1218435170116&skuId=3827055

what if it does come back on sale for that exact reason... and then you buy it.............. and become the first person to legitimately document undeniable paranormal activity on video

1) omg this is awesome thank u sooo much for posting this!!! my rx10ii is coming in the mail on monday 2) your haunted house video is totally sicc omg u should soooo buy it?!!! G_O_T_H youre a talented guy thank you for sharing ❤️

i just prefer the number 24 aesthetically tbh

I would like to know the answer to Igor's question as well. I'm in the process of ordering an RX10II right this moment! May I please ask you guys what I need in terms of memory cards to get the most out of the RX10II, shooting 4k at the highest bitrate? I know Andrew made some comments about that somewhere on here but Im havin trouble findin it

Thank you Emanuel for posting those links!!! Ive found that this gentleman: has graciously included a link to his original files for download! check it out how do you guys think this early rx10II/rx100IV footage compares to other manifestations of slog2?
