Sony RX100 Mark II (M2) Review - evolution in times of revolution
Zach replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
those look almost exactly identical to me -
Very nice photography Andrew. Thanks for sharing.
-
Yeah...seems similar to the 6D release. I'm hoping its fixed. If its not, I won't buy it
-
As a photographer and 5d3 user this camera really does excite me. I shot a wedding today and using the t2i as a B-cam really is becoming a burden. As long as moire is fixed and we see the same high ISO improvements I think I'll definitely be picking this up. Paired with the new Sigma 1.8 zoom or comparable fast zoom, and it could be a great documentary solution as Andrew mentioned
-
wireless speetlite transmitter is a cool feature. Video autofocus seems much improved which is great for wedding shooters like me

there you have it http://fstoppers.com/canon-announces-the-new-eos-70d-equipped-with-a-dual-pixel-sensor

I normally don't get upset over these kinds of things but the lack of 24p in my RX100 really peeves me. I feel like it should easily be offered as a free firmware update. Certainly shouldn't have to pay $100 difference for it. I feel better now having complained to you all :)
-
won't be a huge step up in image quality I bet. 10 bucks say it still has moire aliasing. (i hope i'm wrong though)
-
Seems like a no brainer, and yet, it doesn't exist! As a documentary shooter the idea of raw is just awful to me, but more color information in h.264 would be so welcome
-
looks like they've fixed just about everything with the RX100! Think i'll be listing mine on ebay and picking this up as soon as it comes out

Hey folks. I am a huge fan of the saying "limitations breed creativity" so I shot a 45 second short on my iPhone. Nothing serious here, but a good exercize in planning shots and editing. Hope you enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9U6AtMPsmw

The pocket cam has been advertised with raw since the day it was announced.

This looks terrible....Aston Kutcher? really?
-
Could you post a few examples of your footage? We really have no idea of what you're talking about or how to help you unless we can see the footage.

You can knock a lot of junk out of the image by getting closer to your subject and using a wider aperture so that less in focus. At that distance at 5.6 everything is going to be in focus, which the 600d doesn't do well. I think better composition is a huge part of what you're missing. You only posted 2 very short clips so its hard to judge by that, but thats really what comes to mind when watching them.
-
It will be sharper if you film it in 1080
-
This is just plain cool. I've used the RX100 for similar tasks (YouTube celebrities generally) and they always ask "is that good enough" in some manner. Good stuff
-
Make sure to turn down in camera sharpening on the picture profile you use if you haven't already. That will help a lot with moire
-
Port Melbourne, says the ad. A bit far from me
-
Now THAT is cool. I'd love to try this thing out
-
I would also say that a steadicam is probably not necessary off the bat, I find myself never wanting to deal with it. If you have 2 shooters it can be a nice 2nd option. I use a slider a lot throughout the day and find that it is more useful for capturing the details and setting of a wedding. Just my personal preference though!

I think the 5D2 is a good choice, but would really advise a 2 camera setup if you can manage that. I use the 5D3 and a t2i. Having the 5D3 is helpful as it gets passed the pesky 12 minute time limit, so during the ceremony I usually have it set up on a tripod while I capture close ups and details on my t2i. I occasionally use the RX100 as the camcorder instead though it can have problems with heat. I would absolutely suggest zoom lenses. A 24-70 and 70-200 would cover everything, though that's a hefty investment. I have been renting the telephoto for most weddings. Additionally a fast 50/85 and maybe a macro lens for small details are something I would suggest. For audio, I would strongly suggest buying 2-3 cheap portable recorders. A couple zoom H1s or smaller tascams. Some are small enough to fit into a shirt pocket which is great for recording vows. If the vows and pastor are micd, I always just stick a recorder in front of the house speakers. Having a shotgun mic straight into the camera is nice for interviews but not a great option for everything you'll need to get at the wedding
