  1. Just pick up a Nikon D7000 for pics and get something else for video. As stills cameras are pretty damn good now even older cheaper ones. You can pickup a D7000 for next to nothing these days secondhand
  2. If so then this could be the camera for me in two years time! Either that or just keep on waiting for the F5 price to drop.... :-D But the Varicam LT would be far superior.
  3. Yes, either of those two (A6300 or D750) or.... a Panasonic G7 or Nikon D7100 are also very worthwhile as a cheaper option (as newcomers *ALWAYS* seem to set their camera budget too high and their lens etc budget too low! So getting a G7 or D7100 will free up much needed cash in the budget for that).
  4. If you're not using it for ML raw (which you're not with those puny cards, and besides I frankly feel BMCC MFT or BMPCC is a better deal for raw) then there is no point wasting money on a 5D mk3 when there are so many better options out there available for less!
  5. The snoricam and voice over makes it feel like you're in a computer game! :D
  6. Well..... it is already the 11th here!!! They're LATE But then again I do live in New Zealand ;-) Anybody heard news about the Arri 6K announcement? Apparently last month they showed it at a dealers only event in LA with no media allowed.
  7. Ebrahim Saadawi, remember also for most of us film guys we do not care about the "best" lens, but rather we want the best *SET* of lenses! So we want a cohesive matching collection of lenses from ultra wide to telephoto. So no point getting the greatest ever 85mm if its matching 24mm is a dog, or even worse.... doesn't exist!!
  8. ARRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!! Hate how they'll block connect just because I'm in another country on "copyright grounds". What nonsense!!!

    Which is that? Schönherrs Foto? Japan Photo? Scandinavian Photo?

  11. Very impressed when I saw you took the F65 onto the subway! As I last night was filming with my Sony F3 downtown Auckland late at night. What chaos! So many drunks leaping in front of the camera and wanting to have their say or be silly.
  12. Why did you go with the Nikon 20-35mm f/2.8 over some other zoom such as Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8, Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 (I assume not this one because you're sticking with Nikon F mount, I do the same too), or Nikon 17-35mm f/2.8, or Tokina 16-28mm f/2.8, etc? WOW, are you shooting with 4 cameras simultaneously?? :-o As you mentioned you're doing a lot of night shooting, what made you not go instead with the "conventional logic" of using an A7s mk2 for the night shoots? Also you mentioned comparing the G7 files against RED and Alexa files, was a RED or Arri Alexa camera ever an option for your budget? Or were you just comparing for the sake of seeing how the G7 measures up? Did you consider a Sony F5 (or FS7)? As that is the camera I'd leap for if budget allowed and a lot of low light shooting is required (as I own a Sony F3 and am pleased indeed with how it performs in low light).
  13. SJCAM/Xiaomi/Elephone/EKEN/etc are killing GoPro on the low end, and on the high end BMPCC/BMMCC/X5R/etc are eating their lunch.

    I'm pretty sure Panasonic and Sony does have this for their touch screens already. A "Pocket 2" already exists, it is the BMMCC (which sadly I think is *STILL* not shipping yet?? :-/). I don't expect there will be a Pocket v2.0 like other people think for a while yet, certainly not this NAB and neither do I expect it at the NAB afterwards. As the BMMCC is already filling that niche of an improved BMPCC. Touchscreen is very handy for manual focus lenses! You can use the tap to zoom feature, which gives you a zoomed in area for precise focus manually. (rather than zooming into the center, then having to button smash to move around the zoomed in box to be over the area you want to be in focus)

    You can still zoom on the Sony by twisting the zoom ring. 24mm is still 24mm on APS-C. Still your Nikon lens on a DX camera and you'll get the same field of view as you would on an A6300. And yes use your Nikon first with a cheap but effective twenty buck adapter on a Sony before rushing out to buy Sony lenses

    Get the Sony 18-105mm f4 lens. Quite incredible for what it is, nothing else quite like it in its niche!! If you want faster get the newly announced Sony 24-70mm f/2.8
  18. Get the Nikon D750 for photos (damn fine video too!) and keep the GH4 for filming with. D750 is clearly the current stand out DSLR!! Unless you need ultra high resolution then get D810 / 645Z / A7r mk2. Or ultra fast then D5 or D500. Get alongside it the 28-70mm f/2.8 + 80-200mm f/2.8 plus Nikon 85mm f/1.8D and you'll have a nice starting set up for portraits when it comes to camera body and lenses! (Cost effective too!) These lenses will also serve you well on whatever other new system you might use them on :-) Get a set of Yonguno TTL flashes as well with wireless triggers and diffusers. If you still have cash left in the kitty then make all of us super enviously jealous of you by buying the Nikon 200mm f2!! :-D Or if you can't stretch quite that far, get the Nikon 135mm f2 ;-) Either of them would be a BEAUTIFULLY GORGEOUS portrait lens to own! :-o
  19. Samsung was ahead of its time!! If only all this support structure was already in place then it would've been waaaay more successful

    multi aspect sensor would be ideal! The 1.8x crop would be more or less close enough to Canon's 1.6x and same as Red Raven's! lol right you are, it BOGGLES the mind that they removed the touchscreen! ! hope so!! :-D

    perhaps doing currency hedging clumsily with the prices?

    Sony a6300 4k

    120fps is only at FHD, if Panasonic had 4K 60fps that would be a *HUGE* leap over the competition!!! By far and by far. As Panasonic would be *FIRST* to give us affordable 4K slow motion :-D

    Oh heeeeeeyyyy, another kiwi!! :-D :-D Where do you live? I'm in central (CENTRAL!) auckland. Feeling like I've been living in a sauna lately.

    4K 60fps and/or 10bit internal, and that alone would "kill" the A6300 in the eyes of many people in favor of the GH5!! (of course there would still be many people who would hold out and prefer the A6300 of course, everything is all very subjective in the end as to which is more important than another factor or not) I somehow doubt the GH5 will however... but could be the GH6 would! A bit like the GH2 => GH3 => GH4 progression. I feel the GH2 to GH3 was more like a half step forward, but GH3 to GH4 was a GIANT LEAP! So GH4 => GH5 might just might be a consolidation and refinement stage, before they make another GIANT LEAP to the GH6? (organic sensor at last for the GH6?)
