Yeah, somehow what I do with my money become his personal business lol

Get This Man a Mavic 2!

Let see z6- $1999 - fully weather sealed, no crop 4k30p, 10bit hdmi out, 3.68 million dot evf, 2.1 million dot LCD intuitive touchscreen (no touchpad), Nikon colour scene, shorter battery life, expensive XQD card and only 1 slot, only 273 af point. A7III $1999 - partial sealed (non for bottom), only 8bit hdmi out, 1.2x crop in 4K30p, old 2.36million dot EVF, really medicore 921k dot LCD with ancient touchscreen tech. (cant use for anything else except AF point), but got touchpad funciton. No Video AF with most adapted lens, longer battery life, dual SD slot, 693 af point which cover most of the screen.

It’s easy tell who is Sony fanboy on this thread lol Meanwhile I put the Olympus 9mm on A7iii to have some fun, I might get z6 and dump A73 when it is available to buy. Sony colour is still meh after using for a few jobs now, might get that ninja V too.

Wolf33d is just cry wolf for nothing Remember last year wolf33d said a7s3 will be released one month after gh5 and keep telling people hold it off? Well we all know how that turns out lol

https://nikonrumors.com/2018/08/22/more-nikon-z6-leaks-new-specs-pictures.aspx/ 422 10bit hdmi out, internal i think still 420 8bit?

Its on DJI website, oops its actually 11.6 stop according to DJI on X4s and Phantom 4 Pro/Advanced https://www.dji.com/zenmuse-x4s https://www.dji.com/zenmuse-x5s

According to DJI X4S is 11.8 stop and X5S is 12.8 stops, so more like 1 stop DR.

Yeah first time for me to hear the sensor actually get burned, unfortunately I did encounter Sony A7sII overheat and shut down on me. This is the combo I use for event, unlimited recording time, full size HDMI out, long battery (well C100mKII battery is much longer with bigger battery), and never overheat whatsoever.

Unfortunately the newer Sony cameras cant be hacked, they taking out the app in camera. My friend's friend just burned his A7S sensor for shooting over 3hrs straight..

Or just reskin the rx1rii and charge $1000 name tax, my bet is priced similar or higher than Q

Finally get to use one, awesome camera indeed!

We shot event with live switch/live stream/live projection + QA with couple c100mkii and gh5s, works really well, full size hdmi out is a must cause I break so many mini/micro hdmi out cables in the past. We also use 5D3 and M50 with C100mkii for some other shoots, they match really well together vs matching with other brand of camera. (like the GH5S and A7III I own). I wouldnt do C100 on Ronin, too heavy and big for all day shoot, the 6D2/80D will be better for that, especially with touchscreen autofocus and fd and smaller size/weight overall. For stage event 30P is enough, i dont think i ever have to do a slowmo for those kind of stuff.

Just got a gx7 with 14-140 f3.5, the grip on gx7 is more comfortable to hold than gx85, wonder why Pana went backward with it? The lens is just much smaller on M43 vs other bigger format. I have to get a bigger bag for A7III since my small bag cant hold it anymore with bigger lens.

Man it used to be every 6 month for PC when there are many competitors on the filed (intel/cyrix/amd for cpu and matrox/3dfx/s3/ati/nvidia for gpu), and gradually evolve to yearly then to every few years once competitor dies off or become less competitive.

Our company adds 8tb hdd every year.. so it can chew a bit in the long run, we are thinking of going cloud storage as our file server is running out of rack to host new hdds

Well the OSMO for X5s/X4/X7 is still not happening (nearly 2 years ago they promised but nothing so far!) , so I doubt it will ever see the day, since all their cpu is on the main airframe of the drone is which is a lot bigger than camera body.

What I want to do with my money is non of your business, it’s not like I m spending your money or anything. ? For my spending money on gear gives me thrill and spark, hey it’s much cheaper than owning and flying airplane which 2 of my co-workers do. It cost few hundred dollars on fuel for each flight alone!

Guess that the difference between full time working vs hobbyist, just did 2 $2000 jobs last week, so it is manageable for me. $10000 gear is nothing to sneeze at, most of my friend got way more expensive gear than that. My gear is toys compare to them lol. (Some of them earn 6 digit a year just doing video, consider NZ is very small population country so that really good!)

If video AF is good enough and IBIS is much better I dont mind dumping my A7III to Nikon, at end of the days it just all tools to me. I am still waiting for Canon FF Mirrorless to upgrade my m50.

There is always a middle budget too, we sometimes shot with team of 4-5, not big enough for Alexa but more budget than low budget lol. We always have external sound with it, pre amp from external recorder is so much better and cleaner than build in camera like canon C lines

Ergonomic should be pretty good, I guess that the 24-70 f4 lens?

Did a corporate shoot yesterday, focus peaking and magnify while works but not great, Canon one is much better implemented and magnification show much more detail than Sony which is just enlarged blurry screen. But I use AF most of the time but there are times where you want it fixed (like revealing shot and stuff). The battery life definitely improves a lot, still have 50% battery life left at end of the day, with a7sii I will need at least two batteries.

Well otherwise he wouldn't put this disclaimer up

A7III seem to stretch video a bit, but man that attract swarm of Sony fanboys at comment section
