If you want to stream wedding videos with unlicensed music then it's easy enough to host on your own VPS. The traffic will be minimal & no record company could ever find your content anyway. Same goes for proof copies & demos for clients.

This pixel shift Hi Res mode only works if the subject is absolutely static i.e. no leaves moving on the trees. I's a rather limited novelty feature that can't be improved on without a radical increase in sensor read out speed.

It's also rumoured to be very large for an MFT camera at 144.37mm x 146.765mm x 75.345mm with a built-in grip. That's pretty much the size of a Nikon D810 with battery grip.

The difference is that YouTube has a mechanism for gathering revenue for the rights holders whereas Vimeo does not. Until they come up with a way of paying rights holders then their only option is to remove infringing material although their methods seem incredibly heavy handed. I don't think that anyone could really object if Vimeo just removed all infringing material but to remove every last trace of the user's account is far too drastic

Au contraire I had a Business account when I was doing wedding videos professionally. I am now retired from that but kept the videos online as a service for a few of my clients. When I stopped paying for my Business account it transitioned to a Basic account with up to 5GB storage & only 720p versions of the videos. I think there are 20-30 videos online now.

I have less than 5GB so although they did delete the 1080p they leave 720p versions of all videos. I was countering your claim that they delete "all your files" when clearly they don't but apply the rules you quoted when you revert to a free Basic account.

Not so. I just checked my old defunct account & all the videos are still there. Once you stop paying Vimeo they host 720p versions of your videos.

Ehh?? What problems have you encountered? A few years ago some ignorant police officers in London used to throw their weight around with press & TV crews until they got re-educated. Here's a link to the advice of the Metropolitan Police regarding street photography which contains this paragraph https://www.met.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/ph/photography-advice/ You may encounter a hysterical reaction from parents if you start photographing their children but if they are in a public place then it's perfectly legal.

Shallow DOF was the aim of amateur & low end pro videographers long before DSLRs for video came on the scene. I was on the point of buying one of those Letus ground glass DOF adapters when I discovered the 5D2.

That's very gracious & appreciated. Apologies are such a rarity on this forum & on the Internet in general.

How dare Vimeo put restrictions on freeloaders!

AF & stabilisation were features of "proper" camcorders before we all started shooting video with DSLRs. My Canon XH A1s had great IS & AF. It was quite a shock to focusing manually on the Canon 5D2.

Thanks. It looks like the Pilotfly C45 is specifically designed for the RX100. I was making a more general point about it being an odd idea to control a camera on a gimbal with a smartphone app as you cannot hold the gimbal in one hand & operate an app one handed with the other. It's odd that Zhiyun have dropped the Crane M & not replaced it with anything. There is no other gimbal they make that covers the 150-600g camera range. The RX100 is about 300g. I'll probably look out for a used Crane M.

I'm not interested in hacks or in using my phone to control the camera. Is there another gimbal besides the Crane M that will take the RX100 without modification & uses a wire to control the camera? BTW how are you supposed to hold the gimbal in one hand & use the phone app to control the camera? Have a focus puller?

I'm a former wedding guy & while I experimented with primes I found zooms far more versatile. During the years I did wedding video I mostly used 5D2 or 5D3 with the 24-70mm F/2.8L & 70-200mm F/2.8L classic wedding lenses.

It looks like the Crane M is no longer available. Did Zhiyun replace it with another model? If not is there another alternative for the RX100 that controls the camera by wire? I don't want WiFi or Bluetooth connection as its too fiddly. I know I could get a Crane 2 but I want a small gimbal that suits the RX100.

He used to have lots more examples of different weddings. Sure they were all a bit soft & the codec did break down at times but overall they were fantastic. I'm sure that his clients were extremely pleased with such dazzling images. The video on the EM-5 II is supposed to be much better but is only HD. The EM-1 II has good 4K video but the camera itself is much bulkier. Olympus haven't produced much recently but perhaps the EM10 III as praised in another thread would do the job?

Thanks. That looks like the style. I'm still impressed by his work.

I have the RX100VI which is the same size as the previous models but has an amazing 24-200mm FF equivalent lens. I have only shot a bit of video as I am mainly interested in stills now but the 4K video looks excellent. I also own an RX10IV with the equally amazing 24-600mm FF equivalent zoom however it's so much bulkier & heavier that I find that 90% of the time I use the little RX100VI as image quality is identical. The AF on both is very good fast phase detect & the image stabilisation is also first rate. As a travel camera for video or stills the RX100VI is in a class of its own. I am constantly amazed at how good the image quality is with the Sony 1" sensor. BTW Very nice video. I would like to buy a gimbal to use with my the RX100VI for video & can hardly go wrong with the price of the Crane M. Can I clarify how the gimbal controls the camera with the Carne M? The specs talk about WiFi & a Bluetooth app which I don't want. The Crane 2 just has a cable that plugs into a Sony camera & controls start/stop zoom. I really want the simplicity & reliability of a simple wired connection so if the Crane M can do this then I am sold else I'll probably go for the Crane 2.

It was over five years ago that I stumbled upon the wedding videos shot by an an Israeli guy that were shot on OM-D EM5s that were amazingly good. Recently I went looking for the link that I had saved but his work doesn't seem to be on Vimeo any more. He inspired me to buy a couple of OM-D EM5s which I used to shoot the last few wedding video that I ever did. After lugging round several heavy bags containing a couple of 5DIIIs & 5DIIs & lenses plus an XF105 it was a relief to be able to carry all my gear in a small knapsack.

Here in the UK Wex have a bunch of used OM-D EM1 IIs with 12 months warranty starting at about £800. https://www.wexphotovideo.com/used-cscs/#esp_category_cf=Model&esp_category_filter_Manufacturer=Olympus&esp_category_filter_Model=E-M1 II

The Olympus OM-D EM10 III is not a new camera. It's been on sale at least a year. It was the last new camera that Olympus shipped. It has the advantage of being much smaller & cheaper than a FF or APS-C mirrorless. Sadly the size advantage is not shared with the high end MFT cameras (GH5/OM-D EM1 II/G9 etc). Olympus need to forget about protecting sales of the $2K OM-D EM1 II & put their 20MP sensor, latest IBIS & 4K video in an OM-D EM5 III High end large MFT are doomed. It's only smaller lighter cheaper MFT cameras that will sell now.

There is no need for MFT for bridge cameras, P&S, drones & camcorder as 1" sensors have that market sewn up. The image quality is easily good enough. The whole raison d'etre of MFT to be a smaller lighter cheaper interchangeable lens camera has gone now FF & APS-C mirrorless are barely larger than MFT cameras & the best MFT cameras (G9 & OM-D EM-1 II) are the size weight & price of FF /APS-C. Larger sensors always have an advantage in quality but MFT scores only when the trade-off is worthwhile i.e. smaller, lighter, cheaper etc

So you haven't shot a wedding video or indeed been paid for shooting any video? Which makes you an amateur videographer who has never shot a wedding video who still feels entitled to criticise a working professional doing something which you are incapable of doing. It doesn't matter how fancy a photographer you were you don't know what you are talking about.
