Down with RED!

On the plus side there would be so many great HD options for her that wouldn't break the bank while also being a huge upgrade.

Its pretty easy to get shallow DOF on close shots like that. The 50mm f2 or 35 f2 should be great. The 35mm 1.4 would be fine too if you are cool with manual focus. You can control focus with the Ronin SC so it shouldn't be too hard.

Does it really mean shit anymore with Sony's latest tech? If Sony releases a half decent A74 or A7S3 I would see no reason to go for Canon. They still have the market when it comes to lenses but still

Until you get the vlog upgrade right?

Yeah the Ronin SC now can do manual focus and stop/start recording for the XT3.

Sometimes the smaller the better if you are a one man band.

Probably a toss between the C500 MK2 and the Sony FX9 But edge goes to Canon with the C300 MK2 as a B cam. with the 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8 Sigma 24, 50, and 85 cine lenses Flowtech 75 legs Tilta Wireless Follow focus kit Ninja V monitor 4x Aputure 300d ii 4x QUASAR rgb lights 2x mombo combos That's a start ?? I do very low budget films, weddings, events, and corporate videos. The C500 mk2 is kind of a no brainer. Built in ND's, good codec, 2k 120p and PDAF, the C300 MK2 isn't far behind. I like Zoom lenses for their convenience. Sigma Primes for critical manual focus situations. I could go on for a long time about lighting but the 300d's are on my wish list right now along with Quasars. Honestly don't care about the aputure brand. Any of the 1500w equivalent LED's out right now look good.

Compressed 10 bit RAW would be much more enticing than uncompressed 8 bit CDNG IMHO

They need to add an double exposure HDR mode in their next Osmo, like they have in the action cam. 10 bit H265 should also be in the next one. Might buy it if that happens.

I was kind of thinking they'll just put it in the A73. However I think they'll have to make the body larger to handle 4k 60p which makes me think an A7S3 might happen. I predict there will be no 10 bit out though and probably no 10bit HD either.

Seems like limiting it to 8 bit and having none of the pro outputs/inputs would be enough to not cannibalize their cine line. Who knows with Canon

Whats your experience with the Fringer adapter? Tempted to buy one with an 18-35 sigma.

This will probably be the camera to get and at a hefty price tag. I'd be shocked if it didn't have Clog considering the EOS R does. I assume it will be the standard 8 bit 422 codec, which isn't bad at all but definitely separates it from the likes of a C500 or C300.

Looks like I am getting a Ronin SC

Prores 422 4k is twice the data rate, so I don't see how you wouldn't see any improvement. Could be wrong of course. Its also 422 vs 420

Like a lot of things there's gonna be subtle differences as you are getting 422 and almost no compression with prores. Its gonna be low returns for most people. I got a Ninja 2 to record with my XT30 though. No time limits, 4k downscaled to 1080p prores, which is convenient as I downscale and transcode to prores on my PC regardless. So it saves that step for me. Plus I'll get 10 bit 422 where as the XT30 only does 8 bit internal. I got one for $160 with a 256gb SSD, so its honestly a damn good deal I think.

Yeah its really best to white balance off a card if possible when using ND's. I am personally using the Hoya Variable RN, simply out of convenience. If I was on a really high end shoot I would get something better, or rent a camera with internal ND's.

edit not sure whats happening with this forum, having a double post problem..

https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/news/viltrox-adds-trio-of-fast-af-primes-for-fuji-x-eos-m-and-sony-a6000-shooters I was planning on getting a Fringer adapter and a Sigma 18-35 + 50-100mm but this release could change my direction. $250 is so cheap if these lenses are decent wide open. December isn't far away.

Fixed nds often have color cast too. The killer thing is variable nds do weird things to skin

Auto focus is no good on non Z mount lenses?

What about using older Nikon lenses with the adapter?

You might be about to cop one on ebay for around $4500

Is the EOS R full frame 1080 worse than Sony's or Nikon's 1080?
