  1. Thats one of the internet problems nowadays. Everyone has always something to say...something to add to a certain topic but the reality is that thats not true at all. Society as brought us here and keep forcing us to do that (to post something, to write an opinion, to share your own life and so on). And in most cases that results in posts and dialogues with insults and etc. Thats why i rarely post on facebook and although i visit eoshd everyday i dont respond or post a lot simply because i dont have anything to add in terms of knowledge.

    Appreciate it man! Just enjoy whatever you shoot man. I got some great shots with the d5300  and I'm sure you can get great shots with g80!

    I really loved the image that the D5300 produces (with flaat_10 or 11) but it was a pain in the ass using it with lenses with no aperture ring :)  Basically thats why i sold it.

    I've always been a little unsure about this never-ending desire to see detail in shadows. I mean - sometimes, if there's something in those shadows that you particularly want or need to see then - yeah - I get it. On those occasions you need to expose (or light if you're able) to reveal it. But most of the time I just can't se the point. Film, video, photography - even used journalistically they're not reality, where you can see into shadows with your human eyes; they're a stylised representation of reality where you, as the artist, get to use light and dark to convey a 3d scene into 2d, to model and sculpt, to draw attention and imply emotion. Seeing into a shadow is important for a sensor demo but for art - especially narrative art - it seems a particularly silly aspect of the whole to get uptight about.

    FWIW I think the OP's teaser is a compelling and beautiful piece of art. His placement of black tones on the response curve is immaterial to that.

    AMEN!!

    If you even bothered to read the title of the topic, it says "Actually you can make the GH5 look very cinematic!" As I'd already seen a number of nicely exposed and graded examples of the GH5, my expectations were pretty high, particularly when deezid is claiming to have achieved something that apparently nobody thought possible before. So yes, the first thing I noticed was that on a technical level, it comes nowhere near the level of filmmaking I'm accustomed to seeing, and falls a little short of being an exemplary piece of digital filmmaking. Lighting, WB and grading are part of the language of cinema, just as spelling and grammar are in literature: and if a book has a number of misspelled words and poor grammar, I'm probably going to put it down. There's no reason why I should have to re-calibrate my monitor when the thousands of other videos I've watched, as well as the hundreds of others I've uploaded, look good. And if a half dozen forum members say that the blacks might be a little crushed, rather than reacting defensively, deezid might take those responses into consideration and think about lifting the shadows a touch. And although this has been shot in 10 bit V-Log, because it's been underexposed, there is actually very little dynamic range in the picture - the colors are flat, there is little gradation between tones. There is another aspect that is distracting, most likely not something that can be corrected in post, and that is that not only is the image soft, but the out of focus areas and bokeh are distracting: and my eye is constantly drawn to unimportant background details rather than to the subjects.

    oh my...

    Ok.

  5. Great video deezid! This video is so good in so many ways that is surprising that the first thing that cross the mind of some ppl is that "the blacks are crushed". If thats the first thing that someone wants to say about this video its says more about "you" than the maker (or the piece). Even if i think that the blacks should be "less crushed" (wich i also do, but thats not the point) thats the last thing i think after i saw i video like this. But hey....thats me.

    I wonder if your system could a be replacement for the NX1 (at a low price), G85 + speedbooster xl (i dont have canon lenses though :( )

    I bought a G80 for 730€ (shipping included) from CVP. I think lens turbo II has a nice quality (relying on many opinions online) and you can buy it from 130€.

    GH5 could be an option but If there's no advantage in low light there's no reason for me to add money for the switch and "downgrade" to m4/3.

    Fujitsu is interesting, what model and kind of money are we talking about? Weak points?

    The refund is €1350 (body only) and it's in Milan right now.

    Hey Sandro. Check the Panasonic G80 and see if it suits you. I have one and i love it. Andrew reviewed it. Btw...take the refund!! :)

  8. Unless you will use it professionally almost any camera nowadays will do the job. I had a D5300 (i loved the image) but i switch to a G80/85 because it seemed more user friendly. It was the only thing that made me switch. But thats me! I had a limited amount of money and tried to buy something nice with that amount. A camera is just a tool to express ourselves and we need to learn much more than waveforms and such unless you only want to be a great camera operator. Lets all be honest....anything we can buy nowadays with 1000usd (as he asked) will be good. Very good actually.

    Yes..if you buy Panny lenses they can be spendy...I have the 20mm 1.7 pancake and the 25mm 1.4...love both lenses but they're not cheap...I will probably buy the Leica 12-60 as its a very useful FOV range on a M4/3 sensor and I'm interested in the rack focus feature on the GH5...

     

    Thank you for your constant feedback. Highly appreciated! Thinking about the future...its "sad" (and i guess im right) that metabones doesnt have an auto focus speedbooster with Nikon mount. Altough thats not my main concern.

    You're right...and personally, if you're going to put optics between your lens and the sensor, I would wait till I can afford the Metabones XL...you gain 1 1/3 stops which goes for all your Nikon glass you own now and acquire in the future...which is huge! I also think the crop is slightly larger than S35....could be wrong there...

     

    Because of the limited budget at the moment i guess im going to buy a roxsen focal reducer (Matthew Scott talks about it on his site). One thing i have in mind is that i am probably never going to invest on panasonic lens. If later i decide to switch that would be one less of a pain in the ass :)
