This quote highlights the current limitations of AI technology and its potential for creating biased or unexpected outputs. While there may be opportunities for individuals to work as editors of AI output, the author's experience suggests that there is still a long way to go before AI can produce high-quality and reliable results without human intervention. Additionally, the mention of a disturbing output highlights the importance of ethical considerations and the need to address potential biases in AI systems. Overall, the quote suggests that while AI has the potential to revolutionize many industries, it is important to approach its development and deployment with caution and to carefully consider the potential consequences of its outputs.

Beautiful cinematography and use of light! This camera keeps on delivering!

Dynamic range of a camera is typically measured in "stops," which refer to the ratio of the maximum to minimum brightness that can be captured by the camera. One stop represents a doubling or halving of light intensity, and the number of stops a camera can capture is a measure of its ability to record detail in both bright and dark areas within a scene. In the case of the Arri Alexa classic, it has a dynamic range of 14 stops, which means it can capture a wide range of brightness levels in a single shot. This measurement is usually performed using specialized test equipment and protocols. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Our man @Andrew Reid is back at it! Also the lighting looks GREAT this time too!

@tompeter has transcended my friends

Same boat. Rarely is even 60p footage used in my videos, it's pretty much always straight 24.

That's ChatGPT for ya

Hilarious. The Z6 doesn’t even have dual card slots, was the #1 complaint in 2018 when the camera came out 😂

Why don’t you go out and film with your Sony F3 😉

I may just do this. With the fringer EF-NZ this strategy can definitely work for me on my Nikon Z6. Best route is to adapt EF and get sigma glass, that way you can get working AF on a Sony body if you ever go that route

Awesome. Also super happy about the good performance with the Sigma MC11; it gives an affordable option to those who want the S5 II.

I like it! Love the opening sequence, well done on the lighting. Good, balanced review. Keep it up!

If you use the Ninja V you have great assist tools, waveforms false color zebras and LUT support. If you use a Ninja Star you rely in the Z6 built-in screen. Has Zebras and focus peaking, but you can only have one or the other enabled. Zebras are in 8 bit code values instead of IRE; I just set it to the highest number and ETTR, but need to run more tests to see how accurate they are. And when using HDMI sometimes they just don't appear, so you need to hit the q menu button and then exit, and then the zebras appear as normal. No internal LUT support for monitoring but it does have an NLOG view assist. Which is nice but doesn't account for overexposing by 1-2 stops, which is where NLOG shines. I don't honestly think these are huge issues for run and gun stuff, as when I need more critical assist tools for controlled environments I just switch to the Ninja V.

Let me know if you have any questions, saying as I have that exact same setup!

you sir are spot on!

Right. But budget in a ninja v or ninja star if you get the Z6.

Could buy cinematch, convert to SLOG3 and export the result as a LUT from Resolve?

That is awesome. I mean who doesn’t want internal RAW, pro tools like waveform, SDI, internal ND? In all seriousness though I’m pretty much sticking with my Nikon Z6 as the external 10 bit image is all I need and my money is better spent on lenses and lighting gear to give me more opportunities to advance my skill. But someday, maybe someday…

I keep getting tempted to get a Canon C200 for that Canon RAW, DPAF and Internal ND

Thanks for the reality check that was honestly good to hear 😂

Why are we responding to a 5 1/2 yr old post out of the blue?

Good to know the XT4 IBIS is trash so we can all save money, the XT3 goes for peanuts these days. Have considered switching to gain the internal 10 bit but using the Ninja Star works well enough for me and I’d rather keep full frame because occasionally I need the good high ISO performance.

Here is some footage I shot on the Z6 using NLOG, graded in Resolve. I used the Ninja V, can’t remember if I shot in 4k or the downsampled 1080p. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CkCLQ6UpHKr/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

I just noticed you mentioned AF is not important. In that case don’t consider the z6, go with the S5. Again, externally the Z6 can keep up with the S5 image but autofocus is the only advantage the Z6 has, as well as more affordable lens opportunities if one wants to maintain that autofocus. On the S5 you need first-party Panasonic lenses for the best performance. On the Z6 you also have affordable used F-mount glass via the FTZ adapter. You also have third party Z mount primes from Viltrox that are affordable and have reliable video AF.
