Did you try adding “Cinematic vs iPhone vs ARRI vs Full Frame smash that like button buy my LUT that I created with ChatGPT should you still buy this vintage one year old camera in 2023” to your search term ? A lot of stuff gets lost because people are trying to create titles that incorporate the phrases du jour that they hope will get them up the search rankings. “Avoid these five scams when using the GH6 for stealth van life with otters” etc From what I’ve seen, the “GH6 vs xyz” is the richest seam to mine as at least you get comparative stuff against known entities like the P4K etc.

Forum member @essbe mentioned this in another thread, but I think it deserves it's own topic. Magic Lantern developer theBilalFakhouri is showing compelling evidence that he has figured out how to implement full real-time preview in most raw recording modes across the EOS-M, 100D, 650D, and 700D. Live HDMI output is supported across all recording modes too. Many have found that these are the last two major usability hurdles for these cameras. He is trying to crowdfund £2,214 (about $2750 USD) for the 300 hours he's spent figuring this out before he releases it, and says that he will begin work on full real-time preview on the 5D iii after this campaign gets funded. As of this morning, he's about 2/3 of the way to his goal, but donations have slowed down significantly over the last 24 hours. If you'd like to pitch in, instructions on how to contribute are in the link above. I haven't used either of my ML-enabled cameras in about three years, but this feels like it could be the final chapter in ML history. I would love to see it succeed and keep some of these cameras out of landfill as well as to provide the next generation of broke filmmakers with a truly affordable 16mm/S16 raw camera.

The issue was with light streaking when a bright area is adjacent to a dark area. I was able to reproduce it on my cam but never saw it in real world footage. I'm not sure if some cameras are affected more than others, but people were having conniptions about it on FB and YT. I think it's such a pity that phase AF did not make into the GH6 as it would have reinforced the iconic GH line's standing. Ha ha! No! Not for the GH6 or any other camera these days. People just make videos about cameras, it seems 😂 Joking aside, there was Olan Collardy's launch video for the GH6. I mainly use mine for work and holiday stuff, but I did shoot this with an Isco 36 and gave it a bit of filmic colour treatment, grain etc.

This thread inspired me to break out the 5D3 and play with Magic Lantern Raw video again. Took it with me to a shoot instead of the R5 and I forgot how great the old optical viewfinder is for photos. Anyway, I shot some a lot of footage in 1920x1080 and in 3072x1308 and upscaled it to UHD in resolve. I've missed this look.

Your post will probably inspire a lot of people to seek out a used 5D3 and do the same. I particularly enjoyed the incorporation of what looks to be the ancient lost art of sticking it on a tripod.

Well, here is something I got tagged in yesterday that I worked on (as the Sound Mixer of course): https://www.instagram.com/p/CquYJX2vwrm/ Can't seem to see any trailer for 女儿来了 (My Daughter Is Coming) anywhere online though? Here is a little review of it: https://hongi.co.nz/news_article/asian-new-zealand-film-makers-represented-in-nationwide-festival/ (and the whole thing can be viewed online, but costs $$: https://ondemand.showmeshorts.co.nz/film/nu-er-lai-liao-my-daughter-is-coming/ ) Was shot by Darryl Wong on an ARRI AMIRA: https://www.instagram.com/p/CRxtDvMs61C/

some stills from a new short i dp’d. Still ungraded, some still need to be cropped a bit.

I'm loving the videos @Andrew Reidhas been posting on YouTube lately. They're cracking me up, because he's saying a lot of the things I'm thinking, but doing it with the British humor and wit that I lack. The Matt Granger one did me in this morning! If you haven't watched them you should! Keep it up, Andrew!

Just a solid camera overall. Better colors IMO than the lumix cameras, good auto focus, good 4k codec etc. The DR is a stop or two less than the S1, but probably similar to the GH5s. A little bit worse in low light than the S1. For me it's kind of like a GH5 with more solid color and auto focus and no need for a speedbooster. Also been using it with a ND filter lens adapter, so been digging that too. Mainly been living with a Sigma 18-35 on it or a Canon L 70-200. Technically I should aways go for the S1 because of the better DR and low light, but I keep finding myself go for the R7 because of the user experience

Ofcourse! I just did a small friendly comment. I am glad that you didn't gave it more gravity than it should! These new Nikon cameras (and lenses, depending the lens of course) are for me the best value for money options right now in the mirrorless world. A lot of friends now use the 24-120mm for all around video with excellent results.

This is all very valid and yes we needed more BROLL for that project. Thankfullly I’m very happy with the AROLL so if AROLL is good and you screw up a bit on BROLL It’s fine 😂

Looks awesome! Nikon is beat up a lot and so is 8 bit yet I found the image appealing and well done.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh, camera change! Nothing new, just going back to my old (used) set up. I had just purchased another S1H to go with the one I already had, plus an S5ii...and was in the process of selling my pair of S1R's but... The 'new' S1H has some issues so is going back and after 2 jobs this season, realised 4 cameras with the lenses available in L Mount, is better than 3 cameras. Oh well, back to what works because as they say, if it ain't broke... The only system I can do a 3 camera set up is Sony + Tamron, but then I'd have to make a YouTube video, "Why I Switched".

Very good and nice image, but needed some more B roll obviously. Just a couple of kicks and a helmet-wearing. Also the transition between two similar headshots with a different color to the second one is kind of weird. Maybe going super close up (not spaghetti western close up! Just head and shoulders) for the smile-shot in the same shot before the end, would have been more appropriate. As of the camera, I know a lot of people using Nikon for weddings or simple corporate or other videos. Here, some mkII kits are slightly more expensive than the Canon R8 body(!) and there are continuously rebates or some kind of incredible offer.. They have great priced kits with various lenses, a lot of people choose the 24-120mm and they have it all.. Very tempting..

Nice edit. Simple, but mostly friction-free. The dialogue was free-flowing too, so perhaps the subject was relaxed and concise or you made some nice edits. Either way is a good thing, being able to interview properly is a skill I know I don't have!

I am speechless... this is ML cinema camera series 2.0. Yes indeed, this deserves every single donation they can raise. It is the very least decent thing we all users can do. - EAG :- )

That's big news. I don't use my EOS-M often, but this would go a long way toward making it a lot more workable. Thanks for sharing. Donated!

The Pana 14-140mm f3.5-5.6 is not much larger/heavier and has better OIS (but it's much more expensive used). It's been my main 'travel' lens for years. Apart from market segmentation and heat issues, I suspect the processing chips used in the lower-end cameras can't support it. They also have major crops in 4k and pixel-binned (probably) FHD, versus uncropped and over-sampled video in G9/GH5/GH6.

With one-handed cameras are you now taking stills and video of the same moment simultaneously? I only do video but often feel the desire to be getting multiple FOVs simultaneously (beyond what the tech can do with cropping in post). Just a week ago I was on a pier at night taking shots of the waterfront buildings and their reflections in the water when the people just near me started letting off a small hand-held firework, which was juuuuuust too wide a shot to fit into the frame on the GX85 + 14mm combo I was shooting with (~30mm equivalent), so while continuing to record with the GX85 I pulled out my iPhone and tried to also capture the scene with that camera with my other hand. Naturally, I screwed up the iPhone footage and almost screwed up the GX85 shot too because I wasn't keeping the frame steady and it was already not fitting in the frame. I haven't found that file in post yet (I'm mostly through pulling selects from the 5h22m of footage from the trip), and I didn't review it that night because we were leaving the next day and I started to pack instead of taking time to review my dailies. When we're all shooting with 1000Mbps 8K cameras then I'll be able to put on a super-wide and then crop a 1080p frame for the normal and mild-tele in post, but until then I can't get all three from the same file.

Just out of curiosity and as a fellow teacher, how are you implementing two cameras for an English class?

10bit Colors!

Having been a confirmed (amateur) Panasonic micro4/3 user for years, I dipped a toe in the Olympus world after the OM-1 came out and the used prices for the E-M1 iii dropped dramatically. My Pana G9 beats it hands-down for basic video quality, but for me the E-M1 iii is such a nice camera hold and use (it fits my hands perfectly) that it's become the camera I take out most often. Battery life is excellent, as is the (adjustable strength) IBIS. You get used to the menus eventually... The GX85 is another 'feels great in the hand' camera, so my usual travel cam is a GX85 with an Oly 14-150mm lens (overall smaller than some actual 'superzoom' cameras), and the G9 is the 'max video quality' and 4k50p option. (Also got a cupboard full of other Panasonic cameras - G80, GX800, G6, LX100, LX7, and far too many lenses! )

I forgot to mention my glasses 😅 24-70gm ii 50mm 1.4gm 35mm 1.8 so yah 🤣

fx30 for travel:

fx30 for action: 4K 120p and 60p.

24-70gm ii my poor credit card 😭

fx30 for event coverage: Or is this a narrative film?
