I also need a day rest to fully recover from previous day, if I did back to back shoot I will be very tired on 3rd day. The days of flying C70 with 18-35mm 1.8 on Ronin all day is definitely past my time. So this year I downsize my setup to rs3 mini and ZV-E1 with <500g lens (or R8 with 600g lens) instead of the hefty 24-70 2.8 on R5 on Ronin rs2 pro, that is over 1/2 the weight saved, with this new setup I m not as over tiring as before which is good for me.

It is fixed aperture so no aperture control

R7 is the underappreciated camera of the year. I sold my R7 earlier then bought it back again cause it is the only one in the price range that offer long 4k recording without worrying about overheating and offer 32MP stills which is perfect for hybrid setup, when paired with Sigma 18-35 1.8 the image is quite nice.

https://ymcinema.com/2023/10/23/this-is-the-sensor-of-the-big-sky-camera/ Quite fascinating, when I first see the 12K blackmagic thinking who would need that, but this is a quite monster sensor.

The image is broken btw

The Creator rig breakdown I wonder why they use Urth VND and not Nisi true color.

Yeah Sony and their hidden gimped 3rd party support... if catalyst result is the same Sony really purposely nerfing 3rd party lens on active and dynamic active IS. Canon and Panasonic on the other hand their EIS works the same on native or third party. So Sigma 28-70 on Panasonic will be a lot more stable than Sigma 28-70 on Sony as 3rd party only got standard IS support.

Well plan for next year for me is try out some 3D (blender or unreal?!) to play with mixed production. Also trying to see if I can do livestreaming (with pdf/powerpoint/doc) just on iPad instead of Macbooks. After seeing my friend's setup I m tempted to go that route lol. Camera wise I m half Sony half Canon this year, will see next year's release before I decide to go full on one brand (or maybe to Panasonic again.. who knows!)

Will it overheat in 4k120?

https://www.indiewire.com/features/craft/the-creator-ai-director-gareth-edwards-interview-1234908016/ He used 10% budget for the actual shoot, and rest goes to post. So 8 million for the actual production and 72 million to vfx/sound/design.

More inside look from DIT https://ymcinema.com/2023/10/06/shooting-a-blockbuster-with-the-sony-fx3-a-rare-inside-look-by-the-creators-dits/ They used Atomos Ultrasync for timecode

Straight from DP

From petapixel it more like 10-15% better

FX9 was used for shooting in those led wall for sync, on location is pure FX3 ( up to 8 of them) https://www.provideocoalition.com/art-of-the-frame-the-creator-co-dp-oren-soffer/

Wonder how many normal people still use their new purchase camera after 1 month when the novelty died off. But phone on the other hand you use it every min lol.

But if MKII is internal it will be longer for sure. I guess people can pick MK I for compact and MKII for better environmental protection.

Sony ZV-E10 or Canon R50 with USB (computer will recognize it as webcam, no software needed) or if u want to use those 4k hdmi usb adapter (elgato camlink 4k) then any used cam with clean hdmi out will do.

Canon R5 is the true game charger and I m glade I got it, since after firmware update there is no overheating warming for me, and I have actually shoot 8K footage to be used on LED wall for a commercial project with it. But most of the time is still 4k for me.

Yeah definitely can and maybe some pro project too. Just 4k prores is 6GB per min, that like 360GB for 1hr, good thing it can record to SSD which is hell cheaper than fast sd card.

Let look at their minimum setup I see fx3 with atomos ninja v and npf battery, this setup will be around 1.25kg Vs Fx6 with battery will be 1.34kg already, add the same ninja v setup will be 1.9kg So that is 50% more weight already.

You are quoting without battery, with the big battery it weighs a lot.

Well look at recent Sony releases their price is straight up RF level of pricing, thank God there is 3rd party but 3rd party have some gimped feature vs Sony lens (like active IS not as good vs Sony branded lens) or no super high speed mode. Though right now Canon should really release a bunch of rf-s lens, currently there is more body than lens which is embarrassing. And of course open up 3rd party for those who want native for compactness and other option.

Speaking of FCPX Apple is definitely losing it vs recent Premiere and Da vinci update, the only advantage it have is the speed (and one off purchase) but rest of the feature hasn't been updated which I feel is dated in 2023.. Even Capcut give it a run for the money
