Get color finale. It has every color tool you will need.

No, I was joking like... What the eff is science. Sorry, in a strange mood tonight.

What's this "science" you speak of?

That was my next question. Also, can you use the ninja 2 as a monitor for the BMMCC?

Also, I wonder if I can use the Ninja 2 or Ninja Blade to downsample the 4K to 1080p? I read an article on news shooters that vaguely makes it sound possible. I always convert to 1080p prores before bringing into my nle anyway. Hmm. Must do more research.

If you had to choose between the speedbooster XL or the Atomos, which would you choose?

You really can't deny the iq. It was definitely my favorite of the 3 cameras in the subsequent video you posted. Do you still have the D750? If so, I'd love to see a comparison video between the Markiii Raw and the 750.

That's a straightforward answer, thanks. You haven't steered me wrong yet, I'll give it a go next time.

Didn't know you had the Markiii

Get the 1DX II. It has 4K mjpeg up to 60p. It looks like it will be a killer camera for both stills and video.

Sorry, but I need to ask... Why do you leave sharpening and noise reduction at 0? Everything I have read seems to contradict that. Of course, nothing you have written about the G7 has been wrong yet, so it's definitely worthy of a test. Yes, good point. I actually like the basic, out of box, look of CineLikeD, but it takes too much to correct without the latitude to do it justice. Thanks to ReanaissanceMan, I have been reading up on this Leeming LUT, which seems to have some promise, but for now Natural seems to be the best option. If the guy makes a G7 version of the LUT, I may give it a try because people are getting some great results.

Dang, he does look like Ed O'Neil. Ha. It looks great. Your LUT really cuts through that sLog. I happened upon one of your free LUTS... Aspen maybe? I forget which one it is... I got a lot of free ones on the same morning... But I like it a lot. I am trying to learn to do basic color corrections/grades without LUTS, but when I feel confident enough to go back to them, so I know how to properly tweak them, I will definitely give your pack a go.

In this episode of Guess the Breed... Boston Terrier?

Okay, my bad.

But I think we can all agree they're pro-delicious with their chicken.

I think LUT Buddy from Red Giant is free.

Thanks... I think. Yeah, I've been known to be a little heavy handed. This go around, I stopped worrying about histograms and waveforms and grading, and just went for an honest image. Plus I really love this new Sigma lens.

This video is amazing. Absolutely gorgeous. I know it's not full frame, but this video makes me want to revisit the D5500. Are their video capabilities similar?

Don't let Ebrahim hear you say that. Haha. Thanks I'll try that next. Overall, I am really liking the Natural profile. Much easier to lightly tweak than CineLikeD.

I tested out the natural profile today with everything dialed down.

I have the same issue, I think it's normal. And yes it is annoying. I have mine set to Low with orange color. It works better with modern lenses as well.

Well, if you're getting your camera from BH, the kit with the 24-120mm lens is only 300 bucks more. If you were to buy the lens separately, it would cost you a grand, so I would say it is definitely worth it for a constant aperture zoom with image stabilization. IMO. But it's your money.

I think a lot of times I know too much, yet not enough, so I'm my own worst enemy. I am overthinking this. I have to take what I've learned and go and shoot like I did with my eos-m, instinctually, instead of trying to be a pro. Andy, did you say you recommend the Zhongyl as the best cheapo speedbooster? I know the XL is the best, but if you could only afford one of the cheapo speedboosters?

Excuse my ignorance, but isn't the sensor getting the image from the center of the glass, which is the best part?

That's amazing. Those shadows are inspiring. Part of me hates those images, because I know how far I am away from getting that level of image quality.
