Very interested in the ninja v

Yes, I agree. That was what I meant by speculation on your part.

It's just speculation on your part. It's not that it's a bad thing having swappable mounts, but I just don't see that happening on the pocket.

Hmm... I don't agree. Swappable mounts it's a feature that I think they will leave on the higher end models. The pocket, after all, is a more consumer model and swappable mounts with consumer audience would be a nightmare. By having a MFT mount, it's already plenty versatile and you'll only need an adapter for most lenses.

there's a new pocket camera banner on display. image proof is on bmcuser

Thank you Don. IPS with the new calibration option is still prone to inaccurate colours?

What's better? IPS screen with 800 nits or Oled with 300 nits?

I have used the 502 and loved it. Great monitor, very clear image on the right conditions. With strong sunlight, even with the hood, it's difficult to see. On those occasions, you can turn it into an EVF but I didn't like the loupe. I'm curious to use the focus, but in general, i really like the 502 (same as 501 but with sdi).

the smallhd monitors can now be calibrated so colours will be correct.

Time of day will be your friend. Doesn't hurt to have big windows like the ones on the first video. On your work, some shots you have very hot buildings outside but not enough light inside to compensate, so you have to compromise. Choose the time of day wisely and it will be easier to balance inside and outside. Don't fight the sun, use it.

While IBIS is great, I agree with Axel. In my short video life, I always shot with cameras that didn't feature IBIS and that wasn't a problem. Something like this http://cn.aputure.com/V-Rig-MR-V1 is cheap, light and practical to carry around. If I am to do a shot with a long lens, I know I will need a tripod. But to each his own. I just never was someone who filmed with just his hands, always got some kind of support to minimize extra shakiness.

The colour depth seems to change only the lightness of the colour (luma value) and not it's hue. A better way to fight green or magenta casts, in my opinion, is a correct white balance and some tweaking on the white balance shift. In the profile setting, the colour phase seems to help as well. positive numbers ( 1 to 7 ) go towards magenta and negative towards green. Another suggestion is to change your colour mode to some of the other options. S.gamut 3 has a tendency of green casts if not altered to a correct colour space.

Amen.

Anker is not selling anymore batteries with 12v output. I believe you have to find another company for external battery. Juicebox seems to be a good "new" solution.

Altought I would like most of the upgrades people have been suggesting ( 60p, 2.5k, better battery life ), I would prefer that blackmagic would make a pocket v2 with good audio! They already have the image quality, I wish they would consider audio quality aswell. A complete package!

I wonder if I could get one for a review...

not sure if it's possible to downscale directly from the a7s but the monitor has that possibility.

the blackmagic one does that too, downscales 4k

I'm just sad they didn't announce an a7000 as rumored. Maybe in a few months.

it does downconvert from 4k to 1080p

it was shot on the cinema camera according to the director: "Lens choice was mainly old nikon primes (ais). Love their look and feel. I used the BMCC 2,5k mft model with a speed booster. So for the wider stuff I used the sigma 18-35mm 1,8, which I think is one of the best lenses in low-budget filmmaking."

? "...the work of someone whose work he is neither familiar with or knows who he is." you did just that in the sentences before. I never said i was better than you nor did I degrade your work (?!), I will admit my sarcasm and with my small experience, i sure as hell prefer to make the most as i can on the actual shooting than on my computer. that said, feel free to make your pans whatever as you please but don't bother me for making them traditionally

sure, "creativity"
