  1. @sgreszcz No, it doesn’t work at 24p.
  2. I just heard back from Atomos this afternoon. The HDMI port on the UltraStudio Mini Monitor won’t work with the Ninja Inferno, but apparently it will with the SDI connectors on the Shogun. The relatively inexpensive AJA T-TAP should also work, but only with Premiere and Final Cut - not Resolve. The high end 4K i/o devices should work as well, but cost thousands of dollars, and we don’t need the 4K or HDMI metadata to grade with the Inferno. Are you using the Shogun or the Ninja? And which DeckLink are you using?
  3. @Charlie I'm not familiar with Sony, but I'd say go for it . Sorry to hear about you losing your gear. @fuzzynormal That it . bug is driving me nuts.
  4. I’d like to see proof that Casey was paid by Canon myself. But I’m guessing we’ll never see any because most likely, it’s a completely manufactured story. Actually, I don’t want to have to fact-check every rumor here - most of us don’t have the time or inclination, Just back up the claims with some evidence.
  5. Strange. I had the same problem this morning when typing the word 'it' followed by a period - links to another non-existent page.
  6. It'd be great for surveillance cameras - just think, you can enlarge the face of a person 1,000 yards away, no problem.:) And while there have been some smaller displays exhibited at trade shows, I think the difference can only be appreciated on screens 88" or larger. I'm guessing there are only one or two of us who can edit Red RAW natively in real time as it is. This has already been in development for at least 20 years now. I know Panasonic's planning to release an 8K camera, but it seems to me that they'd have to go with a larger sensor? Isn't the minimum something like 35 megapixels?
  7. It's $600.00. When did they offer $200 off on a new product?
  8. He’s an experienced photographer quite familiar with Fuji. The audio meters pretty useless, check. Recording stopping, check. No fully articulating screen, check. Tiny hand grip. Image far too contrasty out of the box. When my X-T2 arrived, it didn’t have a histogram or zebras. No way for me to check proper exposure when shooting video. I couldn’t monitor with the LCD if I initiated recording while viewing through the EVF. AF-C was much faster and more accurate than my GH5 in video mode, but the transitions were so abrupt that some clips were still unusable as a result. The vertical power booster was a necessity, but made shooting with a single-handed gimbal or putting in a cage somewhat impossible. Some issues have been fixed through firmware updates. I think like anybody who’s handled a Fuji, we love the colors, the build quality and so on, but so many quirks! Take the lenses for example. I’ve got a half-dozen I believe. They’re all superb. But many have run into problems with things like the stepping that he demonstrates in the video. They could at least have bumped up the resolution on the LCD - as it stands, it doesn’t exactly scream premium to me. So, far from perfection. It’s to be hoped that not only are those problems solved, but that the X-H1 has a full size HDMI out and no issues recording 4K F-Log out to the BMD Video Assist or the Atomos Inferno My first shoot with the Fuji, I’m looking all over for zebras and histogram, poring over the menus, finally give up, press record and bam! no image on the LCD. An hour going through the menus again. Till I learned there was nothing I could do about it. So yeah - faster AF, better low light sensitivity are all well and good, but the overall shooting experience was not - for me anyhow. Image quality is one thing, but when you’re out on a shoot, handling and reliability are number one.
  9. hahaha. I thought 8K displays were primarily for very large venues or for advertising, no?
  10. @daniel+ Beautiful workmanship! Digging the work over at your website, too. But those crystal thingies are a little distracting when scrolling.

    Lenses

    In preparation for a doc I should begin working on in a few weeks (after the Vietnam New Year holiday), I was testing out a Rode on a boom pole with my el cheapo Sony PCM M10 audio recorder and decided to shoot with the Sigma 60mm f/2.8, the lens I'd been thinking about using for the interview portions. Anyhow, wide open, that lens is disturbingly sharp, so much so that I'm either going to have to step back quite a ways or light my talent with the softest light in the world.
  12. Not sure whether I'll be getting the X-H1 or not yet, but I went ahead and ordered a few X-mounts for my Veydras this afternoon, just in case!
  13. Peter Gregg also messes up by trying to explain shutter angle and introduces shutter speeds. Big mess.
  14. Slashcam did a test of F-log but I couldn’t understand a word even with Google translate.
  15. Sorry, wasn't sure... no problem. @Django cool, my misunderstanding. All's well.
  16. @kidzrevil For the record, I've never said that a camera was shite because it didn't shoot 10-bit. What I did say is that every single authority without exception says that 10-bit is required for shooting HDR, which as you know, is something I'm very interested in doing. And I have questioned Sony's decision not to include 10-bit on a camera that shoots HLG HDR video. But would I ever dream of saying the a7RIII is a miserable camera? No!
