  1. Also I'm not really that great at color grading. I figure using a flat profile may give me a chance to fool around with this some but the stock colors look quite nice.. And I don't like the rolling shutter on the a7s.
  2. Mattias, I've come across your YouTube channel - Great stuff! Between Andrew's review and a few finds on YouTube I think I'm sold. Search on Youtube for GUSTL (or just search d750 short film). Solid looking images. And I can use my existing lens no issues with metabones and what not...
  3. I currently use a D5200. I've owned it for a year and its suiting me quite well. Videography is my side business and every client I've had has been quite pleased. I doubt I will be needing 4k for a while so 1080p is fine with me (I also don't want to push my 2012 15" Macbook Pro Retina with 8gb of ram too much and I don't use proxy editing.) My main lens is a tamron 17-50 f 2.8. Basically I'm just scoping out my next camera. Currently it looks like with the D750 I would be getting a few things that I lack on my d5200 namely: Live View Aperature Switching, Flat Profile, Upgraded Image?, good in low light (vs gh4) and slow motion 60p. I know there are better slow motion cameras out there but that would require to use an adapter. I guess the other camera I'm considering in the price range is the GH4. I mainly am interested in the GH4 because of its lack of recording time limit. That which I sometimes run into on the d5200. Not a huge deal but it would make my job easier sometimes when its needed. I would love to move to a more traditional video style body like a c100 mainly for audio inputs, for me its annoying to sync in post even though its very easy in Premiere to do so, but I sometimes do stills as well. So would a D750 be worth it over the GH4 for a solid 1080p image? Or should I even consider an upgrade to d5500 body if I just want to add FLAT and 60p but save some money? I should add finally that my projects are all over the place... sometimes corporate, sometimes music video, sometimes still interview. I also need to invest in better lighting for controlled shoots but I own a basic light kit that does ok.
  4. No biggie! I'm still hoping to hack the camera at some point with the NIkon Hacker mb hack but until I can afford a gh4 i'm satisfied.
  5. Thanks for the kind words Mercer. The model is the D5200. It doesn't have a flat profile and when I used the Flaat profiles this camera gives too much banding in the image. However I used the EOSHD profile that Andrew describes in the review and I actually used a LUT in the new premiere cc 2015 that gave it a warmer look in some areas (guitar b roll etc.). The lens is just a Tamron 17-50 f2.8 VC.
  6. Thanks! I am quite satisfied at the image I can get from this (now very cheap) camera as long as you are using decent glass. Sure it doesn't have video friendly features like the gh4 or other cameras but for the price, the image is pretty good.
  7. Feel free to check out this live music video I made for a friends vocal student. I'm pretty happy with it minus the fact that the audio isn't as crisp as I would've liked (A giant AC was right next to our location). We had such a short deadline that I had no time to adjust the eq on the audio. Let me know what you think! I think the d5200 did a good job.
  8. Thanks all! Yes I had seen the Dave video but hadn't had time to watch it so I was just curious of any quick opinions lol. I will watch it.
  9. A bit torn between which ND Filter to get for my Tamron 17-50 so I can get that shallow DOF outside shooting. I am looking at the Ritz Gear Fader as well as the Genus Eclipse. Any thoughts? Both seem to be well reviewed on this forum. My fader size is apparently 72mm.
  10. Looks great! Did you use the EOSHD profile or the standard? Also 24fps? Looks great man.
  11. I appreciate this! One more question... I have seen the d5200 forum on EOSHD, and the review where Andrew mentioned how he shot his footage. I recently shot a Vacation/Road Trip Video of sorts using his recommended profile for the camera. He mentioned he raised the blacks in post, what does this mean? Raising the output level of the blacks on something like fast color corrector? Thanks!
  12. Long time lurker, first time poster here. I have a d5200 that shoots 720p 60fps footage and I'm curious what is the best workflow for upscaling it on a 24fps- 1080p timeline in Premiere Pro CC? So sorry if this has already been answered, please point me to the right direction!
