No, I have the G7, I just picked up the FZ300 on the cheap as a family camera. So, I was messing around with it. It's actually better built than the G7. And yes, I was joking about pocket footage. In my hands, I could make the most perfectly exposed shot, with the strongest codec, crumble in post. Like I said, in better hands, the FZ300 could be a very useful little tool.

It is the FZ300. To be fair, I shot this entirely flat... Natural with everything dialed down and with the lens wide open. The screen grab, I underexposed 1-2 stops and the video I exposed to the right. I did very minimal work in post, so there obviously isn't much latitude. I think in the hands of a more skillful person, this camera could get some good images. Plus it's a blast to shoot with.

Nope, but final hint... It is a Panasonic.
-
Ok, nobody has gotten it and I assume people are losing interest? So, the camera is... I'll post it in an hour if nobody gets it between now and then. Hint: It was shot in 4K downscaled to 1080p and the camera has a m43 sensor or smaller. And it was shot with the kit lens.

Nobody has it yet, but there are a couple people who are kinda close.
-
Not a pocket. If that was from a pocket, it probably would look even worse...
-
Damn... Honest much. Lol. And still no.
-
No, but logical guess... Since I own one of those too. Nope. Close though...
-
Yeah, I have heard nothing but good things about the video micro. I have read that in a lot of instances, if you watch your levels, you can get some usable, in camera audio with it?

You are incorrect, sir. You are incorrect, sir.

I have always liked these posts, so I figured I would give it a go... This has the curves lightly adjusted and an Impulz LUT was used as a finisher.
-
Good post. I am interested in seeing some proper examples with these cameras

I think he means it happens with LED string lights... Christmas lights.

"Plus I'm currently mucking around with a cheap 20 megapixel point and shoot, and if I get the scripting working on that..." @IronFilm I just picked up a cool point and shoot as well... Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by "scripting?"

With the NX500, not sure if it's the same with the NX1, there is a setting for "auto wb + tungsten" and I found that to always be pretty spot on, regardless of the scenario.

I work in the trade show industry and everything Tupp said is correct. Also, don't be afraid to record people in your client's booth without their permission. Your client is renting that space and during that time, it is their property. You have every right to record people who enter their property... Just don't overthink it. Or worry too much about it Even though it seems to be a camera friendly show, during set up, you may want to refrain from recording other exhibitor's booths. A lot of these people are exhibiting products for the first time and they can be leery about unknown people standing in front of their booth, during set up and recording their material. As far as equipment... What you have is fine. The majority of hired videographers that show up at a trade shows have either a monopod or a small steady cam with a shiny Canon camera attached. So good 1080p is more than enough. And most have either a rode video Mic attached and plugged into their camera, or no mic at all. If you plan on doing floor interviews, just get a decent lav and plug it directly into the camera, or a recorder, your Shure will be perfect for this. Pick up one of those cheap Audio Technica or Azden lavs and you should be good to go. Just remember not to get in the salesman's way. You should be a fly on the wall and most of the time, not even in the booth and filming from the aisle with a small footprint. Don't bring too much gear because there will be nowhere in the booth for you to store it and you don't want to have to lug around a bunch of gear you don't need. Also, remember it will be warm in there, so dress accordingly. Show management and the convention center look for any way they can save money, which usually means turning the AC off every night and putting it back on a half hour before the show starts. With all of the lights and people, it can get pretty toasty. Good Luck!!!

So, in the 2.5k mode, this is just a bigger crop?

Did you use a LUT for the Quick Grade 1 of Gunpowder? I really like that look!!!

Which would you rather have? 1DC/5Dmkiii/A7sii/Other

Does the mjpeg have a thicker look? What lenses are you using with the 1DC? -

Great price... How do you like it? How would you compare the 4K from the 1DC to the 4K of the XC-10? Do you still have that camera? -
The ungraded footage looks amazing, and then quick grade 1 just adds that nice, little extra POP. Good job. Color Finale?
