Video Hummus

My apologies to Gunpowder.

I’ve notice wobble at 10mm in several reviews. Seems to reduce at 12mm and goes away by 14mm. Maybe electronic stabilizer will help?

@Mattias Burling Gunpowder better have gotten a good pat and possibly a treat for all his hard work. Results where interesting indeed. I agree with the conclusions. Just get out and shoot with what you have it’s probably more than good enough unless you are doing some kind of special case of shooting (green screen) or extreme grades where you want to change one color to another. Also let it be known to @DBounce that I picked B and it happened to be an EOS R. He should be happy.

This is exactly why companies started the AV1 consortium to take on H.265 and it’s crazy parent issues buy building their own codec jointly. Google, Amazon, Netflix, and now Apple are part of AV1. 1. To put pressure on the patent holders to change the usage terms 2. To just outright replace it if they don’t. Funnily enough, Apple has been putting in dedicated H.265 hardware in their T2 chips and phones. I don’t expect AV1 to be in any devices widespread for a long time though.

This is a classic strategy. Build a brand name on quality, craftsmanship then pivot hard to pure profit cash cow. Claim your product has some special sauce and charge 10x the price of competitors while delivering the exact same product.

Every 3.0 video I have see with autofocus is on par with A7III levels of performance. If you still are on the fence wait for Dave or Andrews input I guess.

I have a feeling there will be a lot of GH2s because I've found a lot at around $200 some even lower. Sadly, I just bought an expensive telephoto and I'm saving for the new 10-25. I already gave my $35 yard sale Canon Rebel T3 to my niece.

Its uses the Sony IMX299CJK and it says Quad Bayer in the sheet but I'm pretty sure it doesn't use the same tricks as the high megapixel IMX586 type processors in the new phones. Maybe @androidlad can give details? I'm curious too.

OK, I’ve been looking at this little machine too. Here is what I was thinking: Max CPU, 16 gigs ram, 256gb SSD internal, with the 10GbE addon so I can plug a Synology NAS 1618+ (or newer model) for teh mass storages. Run the OS off the internal smallest SSD drive. Buy a couple of Samsung SSD for fast attached storage. Upgrade to an eGPU when prices go down. Also, why didn’t apple make this thing twice as tall (I think we would all forgive them) and put a quad core and a dedicated graphics (even low-end). Not sure if this has any practical benefits over a iMac since eGPUs take a bit of a performance hit.

It releases July 25th I believe. So I bet shipments are being made to distributors and to reviewers. I think it’s aimed at video people and the 18-35. The Voigtlanders are indeed nice and have more character but they are manual only, cost $2600 to cover the same focal range and need to be swapped out. Im excited to have something like this with AF, click-less aperture, and very limited focus breathing (not sure if the Voigtlander have that). Can wait to slap a promist filter to soften the sharpness and see what it can do.

They must really want someone’s Fisher Price camcorder than.

B & K for the good boy. Lake was hard, I guess L. None of them really stood out.

Stumbled upon this gem. Zeiss 35mm 1.4 ZE

I hope someone does a MFT Quad Bayer sensor. If the A7S has and quad Bayer full frame sensor the thing will probably double as a night vision device.

Yeah, to be honest my settings for Cine-d change all the time. I mostly just shoot HLG and either conform it myself in DaVinci (still learning this) or use Paul Lemming HLG to rec709 LUT. I am sure there are other profiles settings that are better. I’ve probably had them set at one point!

Contrast -1 Sharpness -5 Noise Reduction -1 Saturation -1 Hue 0 You can turn noise reduction to -5 too if you want to handle that in post or you don't want the camera to do it.

I’m getting an itchy trigger finger. Hopefully the 3.0 update is a sign of things to come with Olympus. Having more video specs can’t hurt. Crossing my fingers Olympus will add better codecs and more framerate and resolution options to the EM1X or a forthcoming EM1.3

I think it looks pretty good. Almost any video viewed via the web is going to get compressed because its the dominate distribution format today. The output in this video looks good to me.

Overlooking the fake anamorphic flares or whatever that is...

Or clearly the camera sucks if he couldn’t capture what he saw that day? Or maybe we shouldn’t post anything we make unless it’s as good as [insert your favorite cinematographer] (because we don’t all agree on that either). Not defending his work (I’ve posted as shitty stuff as well) just kinda disappointed in the attitudes.

Wonder if any of the current camera brands will be around in 2077? Canon EOS 5DX eyeEnhance implant. Sorry I hijacked the thread. I find with a gorillapod and cage with a monitor attached my GH5S handheld footage is acceptable. Still wishing I had a gimbal In certain situations with telephoto lens.

Why not a robotic arm?

I agree. Full time YouTube is much harder these days. You need production quality and consistent engaging videos and multiple diverse revenue streams with affiliate links, ads, and sponsorships. But there is now harm in making big dog videos for a few extra bucks in your pocket and month that adds up overtime.
