Eric Westpheling 9 Report post Posted July 26, 2015 Is there a way to use a LANC controller/zoom controller with this camera?Dying to try this out too. I will be able to test this around the middle of next month...it seems like it should, the zoom servo works much better now than the mk1. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simon Shasha 152 Report post Posted July 26, 2015 Andrew, just wondering, can you put an anamorphic lens on the RX10 II? In particular, any of the SLR Magic anamorphics? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VideoSC 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2015 Andrew, with all due respect, when you write lines like this "The RX10 M2’s nearest competitor is the Canon XC10" and fail to make any mention of the Panasonic FZ1000, you lose some of your credibility as an intelligent and impartial reviewer. The FZ1000 costs $400-$500 less than the RX10 M2 and has been doing 4K for more than a year. Many GH4 shooters use it as their B cam. Hopefully in Part 2 of your review you'll correct this oversight and tell readers why you do not consider the FZ1000 in the same class as the RX10 M2. Yes, the FZ1000 doesn't do slo-mo as well, does not have a constant 2.8 aperture, a headphone jack or adapter for XLR, but if someone doesn't need all those things it's probably a much better buy than the RX10.

Add to that lack of a good LOG profile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason Rae 2 Report post Posted July 27, 2015 Does anyone know what the image quality of this camera vs the Gh4 ? I have a gh4 but I love shooting with LOG and the Slog 2 is not that hard for us to grade for what we are shooting. We shoot in bright sunlight most of the time so it really helps out having a Log file. I would not get the camera tho if its a step down of IQ from the Gh4.

Jn- 85 Report post Posted July 28, 2015 If it's any help, I ran the RX100M4, 4K, 60M, don't have card yet for 100mb. An sdxc uhs-1 U3 card is needed for 100mb/s, I used U1.It saved video clip automatically after 5 minutes, I waited about 15 seconds between recording each clip. Managed 3 clips, last one 4m2s, giving a total of 14m2s. On third clip the temperature warning came up about half way through, I let it continue until it powered off, with warning message about temp. The good thing is it saves last one before power off.Ambient temp indoors was 21 degrees Centigrade. Not much movement in the test clips, fan and trees in wind, small bit of zooming.Redid at 4K 100M, (not dual record) setting with Class 3 card. 25 seconds between clips. Got 5min + 5min + 50 seconds before temperature sensor showed again, switched off then.Temperature sensor indicator did show also for last 1 or 2 seconds of 2nd clip. Ambient temp 21-22 degrees centigrade. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheRenaissanceMan 994 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 I deliver client projects in 24p and not 23,97 NTSCFor web, broadcast, Bluray, or even cinema projection, it doesn't matter one iota. So unless your clients are specifically requesting perfect 24, I wouldn't sweat it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dafreaking 48 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 Really looking forward to a review of this camera, and how well it can cut with an A7s. Also hoping that it's clean upto 3200 which looks doubtful Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AaronChicago 1,564 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 My cleint is requesting perfect 24p since we are in Europe and he want to deliver it for EU + USalso for conema spots you need 24pCan't you just shoot in 23.98 and deliver 24p? It seems that most feature length films do it this way. EDIT: That is to say if your projecting on film or in PAL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agolex 151 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 Also hoping that it's clean upto 3200 which looks doubtful It definitely isn't. Stills start to look problematic from 2500 or so on. It'll be more like 1600 (if at all). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
