So when I try LP-E6NH, I can only do 25P for 4K and 1080p.. that is a weird limitation, 4K25p I get it, but FHD only 25p doesnt make sense! With my third party LP-E6 battery the R5II just wouldnt turn on at all, works on my R5/R7 though.
-
I can feel the weight difference of R5II after using R7 and R8 for a while. If I still use the R5 then they are quite similar in weight.

Is Panasonic rethinking high-end full frame mirrorless line-up?
ntblowz replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Given how popular S5 are...especially in China, when I went to Tibet 2 months ago I didn't expect to spot quite a few ppl with Pana S5II! In here I think only my friend owned S5II, but most ppl who I see with Pana camera like pre S5 Era.. 😂 But pretty sure it will be a mid range tier if they want to compete for market share, otherwise high tier is pretty competitive and sale volume not that high. (And there is Leica for the pyramid tier pricing) -
Wow I thought film production is getting busy again after strike end? One guy I know is really busy with film side of business this year that he don't even bother to do weddings any more, last year he had to cause no work on that side of industry.. in Auckland. I was jobless for a year so I totally get how that guy feels. But I think the overall economy have some part of it too...not all blame is on strike.

The S1H is really special, I got a photog friend uses it mostly for photo and some videos, he also had dab with Sony for a while but back to Pana S1H for everything he do.
-
So what this mean to the business? I think market in those entry level camera is definitely not as important as it use to be back then, people are willing to spend big money for their first proper camera.. I think that where the Sony is quite clever with it, and Canon is paying the price for thinking their decades of strategy can still work for this decade.. wrong!

I think both count in this case, the Z8/Z9 is really good capable camera that makes R3 look dated lol 😆 There is a reason why Leica said selling their L Mount system camera is hard vs the Q, Leica Q is probably their most popular seller even though the price is not cheap, I think there are people really just want straight forward P&S camera than going through the hassle of interchangeable lens. I got a non photographic friend the other day wanting to buy that new Leica D-LUX 8, but after checking out the price I told him X100VI is much better for retaining value, so he ordered X100 instead lol 😆 The hype is real to non photographic friends aka the smartfone user.
-
There are definitely lots of non photog buying X100 because of the hype. Like when I use my X100VI I do get response from normal people, unlike all the Sony/Canon/Pana I used before people just being indifferent.

4k50p is too much for pocket zoom camera as they will literally explode 😆

https://www.wired.com/story/28-years-later-danny-boyles-new-zombie-flick-was-shot-on-an-iphone-15/ Unlike previous film shot on iPhone which was on limited budget, this one is proper budget and the whole setup for that iphone looks like 70k in total. But then 28 days later was shot on xl1, I guess they want to keep the consistency?
-
Thanks for the write up, It does look like current R5II user are still beta testing for Canon. I don't remember my 1st release R5 have this much problem except the fake overheating timer.

RED cuts prices of Komodo and Komodo-X by up to 30%
ntblowz replied to eatstoomuchjam's topic in Cameras
End up selling to a friend so all good. Found a full time job but they use Canon there.. so back to team Canon 😅 -
If I was all on RF L lens with my FF camera then C80 definitely fit better, those FF lens is not really great on C70 due to 1.5x crop And I really notice the sharpness when I punch in post, the R5C is way more clearer.

RED cuts prices of Komodo and Komodo-X by up to 30%
ntblowz replied to eatstoomuchjam's topic in Cameras
There definitely seem to have lots of komodo for sale lately on my local auction site, one guy list the reason is less cinema and more social video 😂 And the best cam for social beside phones will be Panasonic with their Opengate mode and M43 is the closest to a square sensor vs 3:2 on APSC/FF -

I have Nisi True Color which doesnt have color tint which is good, but pricy. (sick of those yellow tinted VND) There is Neweer True Color variable nd which was released a month ago is a lot cheaper, and have 1-9 stop ver without color cast. They also sell the non true color ones but those will gave u the tint.

Of course content is the key When you watch on Onlyfans would u care if they shoot on iPhone or Pro grade camera? I think 99.9% users of OF don't care. 😉 Anyway I moved from Sony FX3 to Canon R7 this year as my personal main cam. Most client couldn't careless, and image quality wise most won't tell the difference except that low light which I hardly shoot.
-
Yeah that is your opinion, I also shoot occasional 8k for virtual production or those showing on big LED And 8K is needed for VR applications, those 6k 360 cam is not really sharp for Vision Pro.. Raw on the other hand I rarely use it so it must be gimmick 😉
-
Says the guy who research a lot of cameras 😆 I am definitely keen to try filming in super 8 though, should be simple compare to modern camera? Just the film is expensive to buy and develop and only 3 min for each roll.
-
Yeah, 1080p cropped for vertical is like 600*1080.. even less than 720p resolution. With 4k you can do fake dolly or slider in post or punch in for close up, much more to play with and give you abit of headroom for errors. Does people even shoot only 2MP photo nowadays?
-
We shoot 4k for flexibility in post, and if u want to make portrait video for social from the same footage then the 1080p will be too low res for that.

I think a used EOS RP will suit ur need, since it is FF it still beat any apsc out there for low light capture, and should be in ur budget too.
