It would be useful if you wrote why you were sharing each video. I'm assuming you're watching more videos than you decide to share. That way, if you post a video that talks about things I know about I can skip it, but if you post one that mentions something new that I don't know about then I can watch. TBH I'm just looking at you post video after video and thinking "I can just search in YT and see random videos too".

Ambient temperature was 30C/86F which isn't a real stress-test but is better than the stupid people that test these things practically in the freezer, either to game the results because they're dishonest or because they're too stupid to realise that there are warm countries on earth too.

EX1/3 have exactely that, 3 CMOS sensors, 1/2 inches each @zlfan 😊 Still cool cams. Really like the EX1's ergos and lens with nice zoom and focus rings and servo zoom lever. Despite in a 10bit container, output over SDI is still only giving 8bit colour. Don't know if true 422 or not. Pana HPX250 is definitely a cam i wanna try. A 2/3 inch sensor version of it with interchangeable lenses... Nerds have different wants than other people:) A 100mbit AF100. Love the body and the huge eye piece of that cam. GH5II sensor and codecs in a AF100 body. Dreamcam. Nerds are weird.:)

That's why a lot of the Sony EX3 shooters would pair with with a nanoflash recorder for more premium shoots. Of course the Panasonic AJ-HPX3000 doesn't have that problem with its 1080p 10bit 422 😉 Correct! Yeah, it's always a trade off somewhere with these older cheap cameras! 😞 1) very lightweight codecs (sometimes you can work around that, with external recorders. Or it doesn't matter, as you're using it for live streaming purposes) 2) teeny sensors (well... even 2/3" is "small", but it's "large" relative to this, and what I'd prefer. But I'd like at least 1/2" like the EX1/EX3 is, not any less) 3) only 720p and/or 1080i (this is a very common issue with the Panasonics, they were slower 4) not worldwide (you can't do both 25 & 30) 5) no SDI (quite a few of these older / lower end ones would only have RCA as the video output, or might have SDI but only SD not FHD over SDI) 6) no interchangeable lenses (ideally B4 mount, but something like EX3's mount I guess I could live with that gets adapted to B4) It's quite hard to find an older camera which hits all of these points and stays well under US$1K in being easily able to find Sooo true! I need to resist. Today a mate on Instagram (he's an EOSHD user too) asked me about what gear I had in mind to get: Me: On the topic of Sonys, if you know about anybody looking to buy a Sony FS7 I've got one for sale Time to sell it and buy more sound gear instead Oops, slip of the tongue I meant, and NOT spend more money on gear 🙄😅 Him: Ohh what gear u looking for next 😏 Me: Thinking I might move a bit more over from Lectrosonics to Sony Digital Might also change my Lectrosonics IFB setup from running in blk22 to blk20 Although ugh, that's such a big hassle as I've got so much stuff in those frequencies But these Sonys are so wideband , blk22 creeps into the bottom of it, and I'd rather keep my Lectrosonics IFB transmitters going out of my bag far away from my incoming receivers frequency range Also why I want to buy a RF filter I think, turn my wideband into narrowband ish. I kinda want two of these: https://www.rfvenue.com/hardware/rf-accessories-and-parts/band-pass-filters But they have nothing in the frequencies I need it to be in 😞 This is a new product, not in production and available to buy yet, however I think it could be the closest to what I need: https://www.audiowireless.co.uk/online-store/DIGITALLY-TUNED-DUAL-ANTENNA-FILTER-DT-BOOST-2-p481882216 Just waiting on specs/price I guess, fingers crossed! Him: Oops I shouldn't have asked 😂 Me: haha, and that's just scratching the surface! although yeah nah, I need to resist spending any more money this year. But I earlier this year upgraded my boom audio to having two Sony DWT-P01N transmitters (for the last several years my Boom Ops would use Sound Devices MM1 running into a Lectrosonics Digital Hybrid bodypack transmitter), as I felt that was a better path than going with Lectrosonics DPR or Shure AD3 transmitters which were the other two main choices for digital wireless that I was considering. However that then just opens the door to lots of other changes I want too

Just got to have plenty of light and be ok with deeper DoF! And be ok with FHD, and not 4K. And not need slow motion. Both traits/requirements that are perfectly fine for the gigs that The Cranky Cameraman was on in those videos. His channel in general I think is quite a good watch for lots of people who visit EOSHD who are at that sort of level (doing solo or very small crew work, but still making a very good living from that). Here is another video talking about EX3 vs FS7: The evil camera gear GAS bug bites me in wanting a Sony PMW-EX3 as well. (or the even cheaper EX1) Or hey, I've been commenting a bit lately about the Panasonic Varicam LT & Panasonic BS1H, so maybe I should look more into the Panasonic equivalent? I don't know the Panasonic range so well though, what would be the Panasonic equivalent to the EX1/EX3 from Sony? Perhaps the Panasonic AG-HPX250? (kinda equivalent to the EX1?) Or the Panasonic AG-HPX300 / 370 (kinda equivalent to the EX3??) Or go nuts for the big beasty Panasonic AJ-HPX3000, with 1080p 10bit 422 (body only is US$1.5K on ebay right now, but no lens / cards / batteries )

Yeah, looks like BM is doing their normal thing of rapidly updating things with new features and bug fixes (..and also perhaps creating new bugs from their rapid development pace? that's how Resolve is sometimes 🙂 )

Actually I like EX1/EX3 color better than FS7/FS5/FX9/FX6 etc. That CCD vintage wine tastes well.

I’m quite good at it. Not pro-level, of course, but I’m always able to achieve results that look good to me, and as a hobbyist, that’s what really counts. I currently use s-log2 or 3 on my Sony A6500 and grade in Davinci Resolve Studio. During my camera research, I’ve downloaded lots of sample footage from various cameras and experimented with grading it in Resolve. My favorites, so far are Canon Cinema RAW Lite, v-log, and REDRAW.

FYI - new update includes baked in LUTs now 😮 making it easier than ever to use our mobile devices

This is going to be my new and much smaller wireless mic/external recording solution, love it. Rode fixed everything I didn't like about the previous two and made lots of improvements. I really like everything this has to offer, my Sennheiser G2 and G3 lav and handheld systems are finally getting replaced as I'm trying to trim my kit size/weight down and just simplify my workflow. My external recorder is history too. This more than covers all my wireless mic and portable recording needs in one crazy small package. No need to mess with batteries and SD cards, you can skip the app - plug the charging case into a computer and just drag all the files to your computer, they function as standalone recorders if you're just getting audio, you can use them for streaming or zoom calls, real 32-bit float, auto safety track and so on. As for them being shiny, some 1000 grit sandpaper will take the shine off in a few seconds, but I'll use them with lav's or one of the small Rode shotgun mics, so its not an issue for me. Cheers Chris

Yeah, I remember a picture of him on the back of a bike with the Pocket. I read recently, that a lot of "This Is England" is improvised, so not much chance of doing re-takes - catch the moment! Its nice to see Shane hasn't abandoned the UK for America - would be a shame if they stole all our talent, just to make them do shit films!

D.I.T Hell

He's a big Blackmagic user it seems... he has shot a music video with the BMCC and Pocket before too.
