    Fx30

    To be fair, the FX6 and FX9 do too. As per the markings on the FX9 they are using that label to indicate the camera having the Alpha mount. Its a similar story with the non-PL mount version of the Venice too.
  2. Did you try adding “Cinematic vs iPhone vs ARRI vs Full Frame smash that like button buy my LUT that I created with ChatGPT should you still buy this vintage one year old camera in 2023” to your search term ? A lot of stuff gets lost because people are trying to create titles that incorporate the phrases du jour that they hope will get them up the search rankings. “Avoid these five scams when using the GH6 for stealth van life with otters” etc From what I’ve seen, the “GH6 vs xyz” is the richest seam to mine as at least you get comparative stuff against known entities like the P4K etc.
  3. Your post will probably inspire a lot of people to seek out a used 5D3 and do the same. I particularly enjoyed the incorporation of what looks to be the ancient lost art of sticking it on a tripod.
  4. Samyang have launched a competitor for the Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 allrounder for E-Mount which but is $500 cheaper. Full details here : https://www.samyanglens.com/en/product/product-view.php?seq=621 A comparison video between the two lenses is here which gives the edge to the Samyang :
  5. My iPhone 12 Mini mostly because I haven’t been shooting anything of actual purpose. I will be getting back on the horse in June and it will be with the Sigma FP.
  6. Or shutter-shitting an S5ii Welcome back btw
  7. You can watch the full presentation here : The three lenses are : 23mm f1.4 (APS-C) E/L (Fuji X to Follow) - $549 50mm f2 (FF) E/L - $639 17m f4 (FF) E/L - $599 A couple of interesting more additions to their compact full frame collection and their excellent f1.4 APS-C trio now becomes a quartet..... Unless of course you are an MFT user as there is no version of the new 23mm f1.4 which is a bit disappointing really.
  8. Yeah, they have a lot of ZV-E10 user base who will upgrade and of course there are always new vloggers wanting to get in on the action but it does feel like it could have been probably $500 cheaper. That said, there are a lot of productivity aids to it that will make that additional $500 a good investment based on how targeted it is to the function. The fact that being based on the A7Siii then it can see in the dark will be a big draw and again something which the extra $500 could seem a reasonable price to pay. I suspect the lack of mechanical shutter will be less of a hindrance to the target market, HDMI more so but probably less of an issue than it is to many non-vloggers. The EVF situation though is made worse from what I can see on the reviews by the screen not seeming to be particularly bright. Though the AI reframing mode probably offsets that for the target market. Yep, seems to be in the 50/60p modes but OK in the regular frame rates. Depends on the situation whether anyone will be doing continuous takes of that length but what I haven't seen anything about is the recovery times ? The ZV-E10 has gained a lot of traction for vloggers whilst having similar overheating issues from what I can see so I'm guessing the ones who's shooting methods weren't impacted by that or found some mitigation (just shading the camera outside and changing the power options had a very big impact from videos I've seen) won't be as put off. Giving everyone all that camera - even at a slightly inflated price - and then making it more or less unusable outdoors would be next level gimpery from Sony !
  9. A7sIIi sensor 4K60p in 4:2:2 10-bit all-intra 4K120p in a future firmware update 5 axis steadyshot S-Log 3/S-Cinetone MI Hot Shoe Mount $2,200 Watching that presentation, this camera has some very smart and practical AI features for the target market. They'll sell a boatload of them.
  10. Link to the Sony official product launch stream here : Obviously, the floodgates will also be opened at 15:00 BST for the deluge of shock face thumbnail "independent reviews" too.
  11. Might be niche on the surface as its primarily for live broadcast but this time limited offer might be worth considering for some of the many Ninja V/V+ owners on here. To recap about the two products (both of which house the Ninja V/V+ but obviously not simultaneously).. The AtomX Cast turns the Ninja V/V+ into a fully fledged four input switcher complete with a USB-C output for streaming input to broadcast it with your phone/laptop/ipad etc that can accept the webcam standard input (YouTube, Facebook, Skype, Teams etc etc). Full details here https://www.atomos.com/accessories/atomxcast The Atomos Connect adds a lot of connectivity utility for the Ninja V/V+ including an SDI input, WiFi6 and 1GB Ethernet for streaming and on set remote viewing, simultaneous ProRes and H265 proxy recordings (with timecode), Camera To Cloud to upload live from the camera, wireless timecode and remote control over BLE from an app. Atomos have also just announced a €99 paid upgrade to add NDI to its output so the camera can be used wirelessly within a standard broadcast protocol. Full details here https://www.atomos.com/accessories/atomos-connect On the surface, it might not seem like this bundle has much of an audience here but I think the Atomos Connect adds so much overall utility and AtomX Cast offers a whole new opportunity that its pretty transformative for the Ninja V/V+ and is a real bargain.
  12. Its interesting new info though so re-post it in that thread.
  13. Time will tell where it where it fits in the market but where it fits in this forum is in the existing thread for it 😉
  14. That wolves are absolutely coining it and won't get out of the lair for less than £10K a day plus points?
  15. Not an answer to your specific query about BRAW playing a role but here is a side by side that someone has done with the S5ii and S1H comparing moiré. Its there in both but far more pronounced in the S5ii with the suspicion that the OLPF of the S1H is the differentiator but I doubt that is the whole tale. From that test, it would be expected to be more from the S5ii but its interesting that you are seeing more with the S1H in BRAW than internal. Could be additional processing in the camera is taming it when recording internally ?
  16. It apparently will be called the ZV-E or ZV-E1 and seems to essentially be an A7Siii in the rangefinder-ish body of the A7c. The following specs are from rumour sites so take with a pinch of salt but if this is accurate then it will be an interesting release. 12MP sensor from the Sony a7s III 4k 60p and 4k 120p video (no crop) Max ISO of 409,600 No pixel binning AF from a7R V, but it has even better detection New AI features Priced expected to be under $2,500 4k 120p could come later with a firmware update
  17. Well, after having to put up with a family obsession with the show for years, they would likely have to pay me a significant part of the budget difference to force me to sit through a full side by side comparison but, yeah, on a brief look you can see there is more lustre for want of a better word on the movie version. Still can't see the justification in the extent of the multiplication factor though but I know zero about the nitty gritty of making movies or, indeed, the cost of walkie talkies 🙂
  18. Archive Team appear to be on the case. There are some other individual efforts to preserve the studio shot comparison content too apparently. https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/DPReview
  19. Word has it that the mark 2 is imminent and will apparently have the following : 50MP sensor 8K/60 6K/8K ProRes RAW (to external SSD as far as I can tell) Phase Detect AF I suppose that would take care of your AF woes and it does all that at the current price of the mark 1 then you might be flogging off more gear to get it. It might change my Z9 plans as well.
  20. Bobby Bowfinger had it spot on twenty years ago Something that has always puzzled me is when you consider something like Downton Abbey which costs roughly $1-2M per hour as a TV programme yet was somewhere between $7-10M per hour for the film version without too much demonstrable difference in production values. The final season of Game Of Thrones was supposed to be around $15M per hour, its hard to imagine that if it was a movie then they'd be getting much change out of triple or even quadruple that amount. I suppose the trick is to pretend you are making a TV programme and hope no one finds out it is a film. A bit like wedding cakes.
  21. I think "fun" is probably better defined as "less annoying" when it comes to these cameras. In that respect, I'd say the 6KPro with the EVF as you then have two ways to address the major annoyance of the monitor screen. The internal ND is obviously a massive boon anyway but particularly as you might be using a mixture of EF and EF-S lenses that have wildly different filter thread sizes.
  22. It doesn't mind discussing the controversial racist and sexist article you supposedly wrote about him though . While all this is obviously a bit ridiculous (and people will jump in to say its not really meant to be 'intelligent') the huge issue here is that ChatGPT has already got a lot of traction with the wider public as a more intelligent search engine and just as people's social media is now scoured by prospective employers or contract granting decision makers they will now use ChatGPT. Good luck with you getting any deals with your apparent track record that they will be presented with !
  23. So, I asked it the same questions about you being involved in controversies, hoping that maybe you calling it a lying prick might have had some effect. And...well. So, it seems to have dropped the 1DC theft allegation but when pressed further for other controversies, it replied with this.. So you are apparently a fraudster, a racist and a sex pest. I honestly don't know where you get the time 😉 Pressed further for sources, it came up with the same bogus link shit. I then asked it what role EOSHD had in the R5 controversy and it came back with a decent summation. When pressed further though about whether an app was created in pursuit of the testing, it confirmed it was but then went off into fantasy land about what it did and it being sold on here I've got to say that this is horrendous. It blatantly makes stuff up about someone then when the subject of those accusations corrects the record (which should make it smarter) it then immediately pivots and starts making up totally different shit about them. Who the fuck is this "intelligence" actually modelled on? Boris Johnson by the looks of it. The 2020 allegation is interesting as it clearly just randomly tying anything controversial in the camera industry with you as I think we can both guess what that one is about based on a recent settlement. I'm surprised it didn't blame you for the M8 sensor debacle... "Reid is well known for pouring cold water on camera manufacturer's hype and it is believed that the sensors in the Leica M8 began to rust due to this ingress of liquid from Reid."
  24. Its jaw dropping really. Even if you go for the ISO version and go absolutely mad and get eight of the 6K cameras it is just over £21K, which is incredible for what you are getting. Bringing in the camera output over the internet (and being able to control them even down to switching the ND!) moves it on even another notch. Those modular 4 input mic box to MADI converters are also very impressive considering that they then give this new ATEM an internal (up to) 16 input digital console with EQ and Dynamics on every channel. You can achieve something similar with the ATEM Mini as it also has the Fairlight engine built in but its a ball ache and you end up with a rats nest of additional cables and boxes.
