I believe so because with shooting log you are try to protect the shadows.
Exactly why log is almost never recommended for low light situations.
In regards to your a6500, shooting log is a LOT easier with an external monitor because you get access to a waveform monitor.

Robert Rodriguez and Rebel Without a Crew should be a case study for any narrative filmmaker going the DIY/no budget route.
No to little dialogue is a great idea for a first film, that’s how my film is turning out now.
But this camcorder idea isn’t about being overwhelmed by a production, or even about the ease of production, per se, it’s about the freedom of production. It’s about filming ideas that can be shot quickly by just going out and doing it... Look at the French New Wave, Dogme 95, Mumblecore... 
The XF400 would be the perfect tool. Compact with all the amenities for an all in one solution. 4K up to 60p. DPAF. But no Canon Log. Even without it, it’s still a contender because it is the only option with 4K 60p at $3000 or less. If I was buying today it would be between this and the Z90.

I have the Sony PXW Z90, bigger brother to the NX80 and AX700. Its pretty good if you want built in ND's, pro audio inputs and full customization over picture profiles. Also I much prefer camcorder ergonomics to ANY mirrorless or dslr, just feels right in the hand. 

You can't justify the 85mm F1.8 FE??? ??  That lens is absolutely insane for the price. Its unbelievably sharp, fast, lightweight, and affordable.
Sony E mount doesn't have a lot of affordable native AF glass like how MFT and Canon has.
I always say in my Photography Discord Server "If your on a shoestring budget Sony E mount is simply not for you". 

The original A7 shots nicer vide than the A7ii and has imo better ergos as well. The only thing speaking for the A7ii is a pretty mediocre IBIS. But the stills are smashing, jpegs looks dreamy with some vintage glass.

Im not into Kpop at all but yeah I thought that video was FANTASTIC! Not sure what AR was talking about.

LOL 5Dmk4 not even in the top 20.. wow

lol

I shoot sports (really just Lacrosse) and here's whats in my Kit!
 
Camera - Sony PXW Z90
Audio - Audio Technica AT875R with an Auray deadcat for my on camera shotgun mic, Sony UWP D11 for my wireless Lav System, and a pair of Senal SMH 1000's for my headphones.
Peripherals - SmallHD Focus SDI and a pink Blue Star EVF cover
Stabilization - Tripod (Manfrotto 502 on the Benro A373T Legs) 
Misc: 1 Foot SDI cable, 1 Foot XLR cable, SDs cards
Bags/Case - Pelican 1510 Case and the Sony LCS BP3 Backpack
 

Overall I've been loving this setup (Focus SDI is a very recent addition though) With the Z90 I getreally good video autofocus, XLRs, Built in NDs, 4K, 120FPS slow motion, 10 bit 422 in HD, and I don't have to fiddle around with lenses. The audio quality is good enough for someone that doesn't have a dedicated sound guy. Everything packs down nicely and the overall Kit isn't huge. I plan to upgrade the Manfrotto 502 because IMHO I don't think its a good head..
In the Coming future I would like to add an FS5 or even a FS7 if I can get it for a REALLY good price so I can get that super 35 goodness ?
 
So what do you guys shoot Documentary wise and whats in your kit? Please add picture like I did below.
 
 
 

Its to do with the counter balance - (its balanced for a fixed weight of 4 kilos (8.8 lbs) which means its rather jerky for tilts. Its marketed for lightweight cameras like dslrs and small camcorders but its definitely made for larger cameras like a DVX200 or a Sony PXW-Z190 not my A6300/Z90 combo. 

BREAKING X-T3 NEWS:
Fujifilm has decided to axe their upcoming X-T3 release because Jon is “not feeling it.”
MORE TO COME

Oof, Man going in for the kill. 

I agree on the first part Sony also protects their higher end lines regarding video stuff like XAVC I at 600mpbs like the FS7 has will probably never trickly down into an A7s body.
Sure the 8 bit codec at 100mbps is thin but the 4K image quality is amazing, class leading dynamic range and definitely sharper and more detailed 4K than out of the 5Dmk4 and M50.. Maybe im used to the 6K and 5K oversampling from Panasonic and Sony but the M50s 4K looks like its upscaled 1080P.
Ive never had an issue with the menus on my Sony's maybe its because I spend a lot of time behind my cameras so I just get used to it? 
Sony lenses are not horribly overpriced, they are all brand new offerings to the market. Most of the equivalent Canon lenses have been on the market for over 10 years so the prices have dropped. Look at the brand new Canon EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM ($1,600) The G master equivalent is $1,800.  The recently announced Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II USM is $1,300 the Sony 70-200mm f/4 is $1,300 The new 70-200 2.8 is $2100 the Sony equiv is definitely more expensive but its also corrected for Focus breathing and its par focal.
You'll be surprised when the new mirrorless lenses prices drop they will be right in line with Nikon Z and Sony E mount prices.
Going to autofocus.. 7:57 Sony seems better to me in his test.
 
Every brand has its pros and cons I used shoot Canon, switched to Sony and was REALLY close to getting  the GH5 when it first dropped. Just have to pick the best system for needs is all.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Canon slapped a 8-bit 4:2:0 codec in their $7,500 C200.. no way they're going 10-bit on their entry MILC. That's not the Canon way.

It helps to have options though, something you never even considered might be a fantastic choice for your described uses.

Last time I checked Canon said they would sue ML if they tried to release more builds hence why there's been nothing for the 80D, 5Dmk4, and 1DXMK2. Canon still wants you to spend $7K (C200) for good video features.

If you shoot with Sony theres a program called Sony Catalst Browse and that program IIRC shows me my focal length and whole bunch of other useful info like the picture profile that was used, color space, bit depth, ISO and more. Not sure if it works with Panasonic or Canon.
