Here is an example where it is quite obvious. (With the s1ii vs blackmagic) the skintone difference is massive. While on the blackmagic I would not need to change the skintones at all on the s1ii it would need some tweaking to get rid off the red skintones. Ok many clients prolly won't notice it or would complain about it. But I sure do see it + panasonic has the most different colour science of sony. Which at the moment is the market leader over here. And 1 client specific told me they liked colour science of sony the most, prolly because the market is flooded with sony footage and that is what they are used too. (Was on a shoot with a mix of panasonic and sony camera's next to each other, so we had to grade the panasonic footage to the sony look :') )

 

Isn't all your personal issues with the image moot when you factor in the ability to add your own lut, thus giving you the color you want SOOC?

Yeah I need to create my own lut, as so far I have not found one with good contrast. Have not tried baking in a lut.

as @newfoundmass said above, you can do your own thing and it’s easier than ever these days.

Too much weight given to SOOC colour science…

Allthough it is not entirenly only my issue. Clients (production companies) ask footage to be shot in log. And while it is no longer my issue but the editor or color grader issue. I prefer the colours coming straight out of camera to be nice. Especially when they are combinging footage from different shooters and camera's. I don't want to be the guy where they have the most work in post with. As most production companies ask feedback forms from everyone involved, and if an editor writes down "I prefer the footage from shooter B because the colours are ready to go, and I am shooter A, then I might move down the list of shooters to call for a new project".

Alllthough I will try to always use the C500 ii for these types of clients when possible. Where the colours are stellar straight out of camera.

Well the 28-200 is going back.

Hate it.

Suspected I might…

I just cannot stand slow, variable aperture zooms, even in good light.

Going to find me a used Sigma 28-45mm f1.8 ASAP and just skip the second whole long zoom thing as after all, I already have the f4 70-200.

Oh well, I tried. Switched it for the Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 and phew, crisis over 😉

The S1Rii is working out OK so far for stills. Not as snappy as my A7RV which itself is not as snappy as my Zf, but neither of those fit in with The Greater Plan.

S9 still my fave for video.
