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.

Does anyone know what the native ISO of the G7 is?

That makes sense, never thought of it like that. This is why I am not a cinematographer and just a writer trying to figure out how to get the cleanest image possible in the most affordable and interesting way. and btw, I wasn't speaking specifically about Andy's footage... I'd be ecstatic to get half the quality he gets... I love the mood and composition of every piece he shares.

Gotcha, but I don't understand how the metabones is curing those ills? I have been reading that nothing is better than it, but other than speed what is it really doing for you... I know it's making your images wider, but you can always stand back a hair for that?

I am on my phone and only sit at my computer when I am writing or editing... What kinda things are you noticing? And yes his shot of the cop is fantastic... Of course I think that one may not even be the G7, or if it is... It is definitely before he started using the atmos.

Has anyone used the Sigma 28mm 1.8 lens? There appears to be 3 different versions, unsure if they're the same or not, mechanically and optically. They all have aperture rings, which is good. I have seen a few videos and it seems to be a decent performer but I'd love to hear some first hand experience.

Andy, did you run these through Neat Video in post... Because damn those shadows are clean.
