My two cents. (five cents for the jar box for phrase dropping:) I don´t see anything impressive image wise. OG post from 0.57 to 1.02 looks gruesome, other shots still just fine compared to well shot 8bit 709 HD on Lumix and other old hybrid cameras. Above example shows very nice locations and light and sufficient framing and shot design, though not far off from being generic imho. So, well done by the creator. Nothing less but nothing more neither.

This is the so called film look without a costly plugin. It was shot on an almost 7 years old pocket camera, a Lumix LX15 in Rec709. To my eyes this is very beautiful and a nice achievement for out of your pocket cinema verité:

 

 

There's a bit of post-processing involved in this video too but I do agree it does look great and miles better of other examples posted in this thread.
There's a difference between a DP and a person who likes tech and pretty images. 

Had Z8 for a spin and it's such a great camera.

I wish more companies will go for internal RAW/ProRes recording because h265 doesn't cut it. 

Looks pretty good to me. 

I'm still a fan of catalyst browse stabilization, although I hate the workflow.

S5 is great. But, an APS-C crop in 4K 60p and really bad AF - it loses focus, and it goes back and forth. Also the 4K 60p crop is in S5 ii and iix.

Do you think that the mic quality is good enough on ZV-E1 to not use an external mic?

If you're dropping $2200 on a camera you probably should be able to in 2023.

 

There are plenty of cameras in that price range to choose from. The main perk of this camera is the size and that comes with limitations. 

@TomTheDP interesting.
That's a very specific niche though, general audience is still watching mainstream films for the most part. The last microbudget film that was popular and made a lot of money was One Cut of The Dead as far as I remember. 

10 bit is a must if you shoot in log, in normal profiles you won't see a difference. 

Do people expect to film 2 hour interviews with it? 

But who watches these films? 
I mean it's pretty easy to distribute your films these days. A bunch of stuff that I worked on is on Amazon prime and Apple but nobody watches those and I don't think that they made any money. 

Please delete my previous post.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Z9. If it wasn't for physical size, it would be my favorite mirrorless camera ever. I hope some of the video features will make it's way to the new generation of Nikon bodies. All I want is internal ProRes HQ.

Does it record gyroscope data for stabilization in post? It would be weird if they removed it.

I m currently editing 4k 160mbit on a base 8gb/256g m1 MBA with external 2tb ssd, pretty smooth most of the time except some lag when scrubbing timeline occasionally on longer videos.

And 0 sound as there is no fan.

H264?

h264?

Are you using the version without front vari-diopter? In that case, you need to double focus. Check this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yneSk9wdJWw

 

Thanks.

I thought it was considered single focus. I was hoping to use autofocus with it.

Hey guys,

I bought slr magic anamorphot 1.33 adaptor and I'm confused about Near/Normal setting. According to description, I need to put it on NORMAL to achieve sharp images at infinity, but it seems that NEAR looks sharper than NORMAL. At NORMAL I can't achieve sharp focus at all. Could that because of the lens?

Camera Nikon Z6 in crop mode tested with 28mm and 50mm at 5.6

Thanks.

Nikon Z line has separate settings for photo and video. Not sure about the others.

CST only transforms color space but it doesn't make the camera sensor match better. It's useful for matching luminance if you intend on using the same LUT on both cameras.
For your situation, once you get 100% on luminance and WB, use hue vs. hue and hue vs. sat adjustments. People pay more attention to luminance than color differences. 

Got myself A7SIII and tested it against A7III. I've noticed that when I record in Slog2 or Slog3, A7III appears brighter despite having the same settings. It's about 1/3 to 1/5 stop brighter than A7SIII. When I shoot with PP off, everything looks the same.
Has anyone experienced this issue?
