  1. can't wait till the price drop a bit on the used market... and I'm getting one ! 

     

    Is it just me of this could be a great b-cam to, let's say a Sony F3 ? 

  2. ohhh and .. bring 2 body for sure! Bring your favorite nikon and the a6500 working together. Master each one and use them for specific usage. You will know how much shadow you can lift for each one and how much highlight you can protect.

     

    Nikon for Sunset/sunrise lapse and everything under 640iso 

    Sony for 4k/120fps gimbal/tripod and milky way/moonlight timelapse 

    Drone for BTS and few insert shots 

     

    And a sony E to F-mount, same mount - same lenses 

     

    I've been doing the Nd grad trick for timelapse and landscape since I started doing landscape photography maybe 4 years ago. With the A7s or even my "old" canon 6d, I don't have problem to squeeze the full spectrum of raw data of those camera and they aren't as good as nikon for DR. I haven't tested the a6500 yet but it shouldn't be a big concern. 

  3. Philip bloom is also a very cynical OP with depression and a very big self-esteem. Rub a lot of people the wrong way...

    Kaiman Wong went easily over Philip in the "first month" (off DRTV) being on youtube, is always very sarcastic but at least he's funny and understand a bit more the youtube market.

     

    You have to understand who is the major viewer on youtube; young geeks. Look at Pewdiepie market.... 50 millions sub

    Even my a7s with metabones and canon 16-35mm f4 IS was fine in AF with the center point for those subjects. 

    otherwise, nikon have great option also 

    F-mount is quite adaptable too... just focusing backward, mehhh whatever.

    a7S is not a very good photo camera, for quite some reasons. I would never thought of using one for photos.

     

    You have no idea what you are talking about....? ;) 



    a7s is a great camera. Raw files are amazing, pretty much any lens will be sharp with it. DR is great overall at low iso (13 stop) and really good at high iso (10 stop / 6400iso). 12mp is more than enough for anything out there ...more than that you are a pixel peeper or cropping the shit out of your photos...!  Low light is out of this world. 1080p60 s35 is amazing, 4k output too. 

    1.1x / 1.2x / 1.3x / 1.4x / 1.5x crop without significant loss of quality

    Slog2 can be tricky but isn't that hard to master and PPoff with 16-235 re map work good for colors straight off the bat. 

    You can adapt any kind of lens on it. 

    Wifi is fine and great for remote shooting.  

    E-shutter for timelapse - buffer is quick enough with a good card to shoot 1 fps continous for smooth sunset / sunrise 

    Peaking/ zebra and all that fun stuff 

    2.8k aps-c is upscale to 4k on the hdmi out too... 

    No overheating or what so ever on long recording ... i've done often 4h-6h of prores combine with the atomos shogun 

     

    Autofocus, I have not a single idea... i've never cared. 

     

    Don't hesitate to buy it... highly recommended. A great tool overall

    Andrew - If you can't tell the difference between an ad and clearly labeled sponsored content, its on you. DPR is not holding back their critique of products because of brand money. They are literally working hard every day to figure out how to create free content for people in an incredibly difficult market, and have created firewalls you have no clue about to preserve their editorial integrity. Furthermore: cameras are fucking amazing today. You could literally buy the shittiest camera and guess what...its going to shoot amazing photos! And probably video too! It blows my mind that people get drowned in their own nerd juice to the point that they forget how incredible the tools are. Say what you want about the 80D, but the facts are 1) Barney built a fucking boat (and it floated), and 2) alongside a talented group of people, made a great video with just the 80D and hard work, aaaaand 120k people have watched the video, many of them calling it inspirational.  You call yourself a filmmaker, but do you tell stories? Or, deep down, do you know that you simply make videos with sample footage and fear that that's all you've got?    

    Someone had some bitter vengeance cereal last night ! 

  7. I'm not the biggest fan of sponsored content. But it's the age we live in, unfortunately. Instagram and facebook for example have sponsored content all over the newfeeds, like ALL OVER. The video of the 80d is uploaded by Canon USA on youtube. They pay their publicity like everyone else and target the right mass. I don't see why they are so evil about it.

     

    Nofilmschool had this one with DJI a few days ago : http://nofilmschool.com/2016/11/introducing-dji-x5s 

     

    I'm not a big fan but I will still follow nofilmschool once in a while. 

    As a business owner myself, there's not a thousands road ahead... Eventually; you make you're own publicity and you sell your own salad. 

     

    At least they put it out clearly, sponsorised post without ANY mention is much worse of a plague to my concern.
