HAHA...thank you.

Hey agolex, Can you get repeatable rack focus or even accurate focus pulls with this or is it like all fly by wire lenses which are a pain in the a$$. Does the focus ring ever have hard stops? Also, is the xooming in/out very noisy? And the battery life?

Someone who owns the RX 10 II, Does the USB Charging work while recording? Can I plug/unplug it while recording? Also do you know if it comes with a cable lock/protector like the A7s does? Have any of you used a smartphone with the play memories app to control/monitor the camera?

Noooo. I still hope you manage to get more of the RX10 in the review!

Ohh well...Can't win em all. Still thinking if selling off the trusty 600D and Tamron 17-50 2.8

Really looking forward to a review of this camera, and how well it can cut with an A7s. Also hoping that it's clean upto 3200 which looks doubtful

So we want the lovechild of the A7s and the 1Dc. priced at $3500

Wouldn't this work on parfocal zooms as well as zooms with hard stops at infinity?

In my extremely limited experience with the A7s (for video), I've noticed that the A7s works brilliantly only if you have the white balance dialled in to the T. Tungsten seems to turn the skin green if unlucky and yellowish if lucky. With Canon the C100 and C300 do have a green tone with Tungsten too. Quite frustrating actually with darker skin. My biggest gripe with with the A7s though is the Blue Flouro Puke that happens with the Highlights clipping at certain white balances.

You've answered your own question. Add to that lack of a good LOG profile.

A7S movie record button. nuff said. Seems like everyone want's that 24 stop DR camera which can do 8K at 250 fps. Will be fun watching cats and leaves then. @Ebrahim Saadawi no disrespect sir but when do you find time to shoot if you manage to spend so much time typing and debating on forums.

Great points ruined by crying :(

​Did you read this entire thread? His friend wants to invest in his production company. The story argument is totally lame. the friend is already working on different projects. Oh yeah, and we don't need poverty tourism in India...

​I didn't know you relied so heavily on FCPX. Hackintosh is not worth it. It's hit and miss. How soon does he want to buy this? If he wants it know then I guess the iMac should be fine. Apple is meant to update the MacPros around WWDC but you never know with them.

​I should have been more specific. It should be fine for normal editing, but the minute you start using things like After Effects, more video streams, etc it will slow down. I personally feel spending $4500 odd on an iMac ridiculous for the performance one gets but its sooo pretty. Also, that thing gets hot and noisy as it has smallish fans. I don't want to turn this into a MAC vs PC debate, but in $4500 you can build a super souped up rig that will lap up all those 4K files without breaking a sweat. We focus a lot on cameras, lenses, etc but a majority of our time is spent on post production so one might as well invest well there.

Buy a proper tripod with a good head. Buy a B Cam - Sony A7s or a pre-owned C100 (Get rid of the existing bodies) Buy a Odyssey 7Q+ . It comes bundled with 512gb of media. Start building a set of lenses. This way on smaller projects you don't need to rely on rentals. Buy the new Ronin-M Buy a Mac Pro (personally wouldn't do this but since your friend doesn't want a PC let him burn some cash on a Mac) IMHO iMac's aren't cut out for serious post work once the going get's tough.

AF100 successor in 3-4K with lowlight performance better than the GH4 More gimbals like the Nebula 4000 and the Pilotfly H1 with capacity upto 3lbs under $1000. Ability to seamlessly pan/tilt like on the Ronin. C100 competitor from Sony (never gonna happen though)

+1 for the D750 if you are already invested in Nikon glass. It's superb for stills and a more than capable video camera. You should still be able to get a decent price for the D600 though you should have traded it in for a D610 when you could.

​Won't you be spending a lot more to do that?

​Err...are you shooting a sex tape?

So similar question as the OP. Shooting a wedding with a mix of A7S and 5Dmk3. While I don't need them to match 100%, getting them close is a requirement. The 5d will use a 70-200 and used mainly for tighter shots due to it's softness. The A7S will primarily use a 16-35mm and 24-70mm (2 bodies, both with metabones adaptors) I would prefer not shooing in Slog2 due to the extra time required in post and relative inexperience while grading. So, anyone who owns both, what would be good picture setting to use on both to make it easier to match them in post? Thanks

You know what. It totally depends. Strictly speaking, you would need permission. If it's a well known brand (medicine) and you are showing it in bad light then they could object. Also depends on which country you are in and where you intend to show the short.

True! Though normally I wouldn't worry so much, I'm investing a sizeable amount of my savings and would like to make sure everything is fine.

So I've just purchased 2 external HDD's which will be used for copying data over on a shoot. What's the best method for checking the HDDs are running absolutely fine and all the sectors are in order. A lot of Google searches recommend performing a secure wipe. Is this the best way? TIA

​Not at all... I admire the fact that even after dissing it you have plonked up the hard cash for it. It's your opinion on things like the A7S, shogun, etc...
