Hi :)

I need a camera for short films / advertisements / commercials / music videos etc ...
I'm thinking about: Sony A7S II + Shogun.
                              Sony FS5 + Shogun.

Is this a good choice ?! Maybe something else?
I care about the most image quality!

I would like to create such films: https://vimeo.com/143211613


Sorry for my English, and I ask for help,
Regards Robert ;)

EOSHD Pro Color 5 for Sony cameras EOSHD Z LOG for Nikon CamerasEOSHD C-LOG and Film Profiles for All Canon DSLRs

I have experience :)
and certainly will not be pushed in GH2 ... (this is old equipment)

hard for me to choose a good camera ...
DLSR or CAMCORDER?

I'm afraid the DSLR:

- No ND filter
- Bad rolling shutter etc ...

I want to spend - once and for all would not regret it!
Can someone help?

Regards Robert ;)

This was shot on a gh2, so I would think it's still capable ;)

If you want internal NDs, good rolling shutter, or more than 8 bit, the a7sii can't be your choice. Not sure how much good a shogun would do on it either.

Ls300? Fs5? C100ii? The blackmagic pocket camera is less user friendly, but the best out of all of these for image quality. a lot of options, hard to say which is best. Do you have more requirements to list? 4k? Raw? Log? high frame rates?

Hi :)

my budget is 7500$ ...

I have: Led Light's, Ronin M, Atomos Shogun, Tripod, Slider, Monitor PC Dell Up3216Q, Sennheiser MKH8060, Tascam DR40,
Rode Blimp, Boompole and others....

I need Good 4K Camera with good lens! I do not know whether to play in the DSLR!
whether it is better to choose a professional camera?!

Previously I worked for: Canon C100 (it was OK but I need 4K).
"throw me to the dogs" look very veryy good :)

FS700 is too big :(
FS7 mkII and C300 is too expensive :(

I need good camera for short FILM! and sometimes for Tv Commercial, spot, clip etc...
Regreds, Robert ;)

Idk, if I had that kind of money and needed/wanted 4K, I would probably go with one of the Blackmagic Cameras... probably the BM 4K Production camera... or maybe the new Terra and then I would put the rest of my camera budget into my short/feature production budget because you'll always need more...

or maybe even rent the camera for the narrative and commercial work and then buy a C100ii for your bread and butter work. But to be honest, if you can't make a good narrative short on the C100ii, you probably can't make a good short.

Have you considered 5D mk iii ml raw for a short? Honestly one of the most beautiful images I have ever seen.
