Seriously, what's your take on that? They only differences I see are the 9-16V vs 9-18V, and the +4db vs -40db. How those affect us in real life situations? I am seriously puzzled, that could be easily been just a firmware update, keep the 999price, and create a vastly better machine for 2000euros. For 760euros this is a steal.

According to the Comparison PDF at the end of that page F8 is lighter, has 1 more hour of operation time, plus some accessories that the F8n doesn't include (mount, cables). According to that table, I do not get why someone to get the more expensive F8n! Feel stupid din't get the F8 when it was 760euros a few weeks ago. The F8n is 1200euros here.

The Anafi is 699euros by the way, and Parrot says it has losseless 2.8X zoom. Maybe that is why DJI waited a bit more for the official announcement. Maybe the zoom is a selling point for some people and DJI wanted to cover all angles.

Everything is about education and critical judgment. If someone managed his life and did alright in the 80s, do not see the reason why youtube could destroy, or make his life now. It can be a an educational and entertaining tool that WE can choose what to do with it (unlike the TV passiveness of previous decades). Like everything new and not scintifically studied there are a few things to consider though. I have noticed talking with young people in the industry that their main education is youtube, while skipping completely traditional sources like books (reading), film school and/or seminars, and they feel watching a few youtube videos can skip a few years of experience. In short, they are trying to get from A to D (or even E-F) without ever passing from B or C which is not great in my opinion. The first steps are the most important to create the citizens and professionals we are.

I believe an 1" sensor on such a portable drone is a game changer. Since the beginning of the drone revolution I was waiting for something like this. The latest rumors were talking about a smaller sensor, but these now are extremely good news. Do you people believe that the zoom lens on a smaller sensor is a good selling point, or the 1" version is the one to get?

1"!! I am so getting one!

We did a little research for an all arounder in the family a couple of months ago and we bought the S9+. For work, I bought the LG G6 last year, and it is still going strong, recently got Oreo and another upgrade, while its second cam is an ultra wide one, that I enjoy more than any other cam I have ever used (phone cam I meam obv!). Nowwdays is dead cheap too. LG is back since the G6, and with the new V series. Give them a look. Another extra is the low SAR numbers of the Koreans. That was one of the selling point for us, while Apple, Xiaomi and Huawei usually are close to the permitted limits. In day time its processing is more pleasing to me, but in darker environments the small sensor (smaller than the latest flagship phones) is very limited. All in all, I have vastly better quality with my NX500+30mm 2f pancake, or the 16-50PZ.

What are the differences between the 3(cheap) and 4(new and expensive) version? Can the 3 be found for NLE's too? Or no way? For photographers the dead cheap 3 version would be great.

This pretty much looks like an NX1, I hope they went a similar route, instead of trying to please the hipsters of this world with minimalistic - but uncomfortable to hold and work - designs. In anyway it is good that it is here so early. Remember, the rumors were talking for spring next year. If some of the patented lenses are true, Nikon will make extra sensitive lenses and iso performance their selling point.

Another thread full of white noise and unrelated information. I hope the OP did find something useful among those.

C100mkii is my favorite video camera of all time. Easily the best ergonomics of such a camera, better than the C200 in my opinion. I could see only 2 possible limitations. No slow motion (what a pity not to have 100/120f), and no 4K, which in 2018 can be a factor for some. Still the best option for 80% of what I do.

Canon 5DmkII changed everything. Then everyone could have the shallowest depth of field ever. People loved it because it was something they never had. Apple and Google and other phone companies trying to immitate shallow depth of field in their mobile phones and their small sensors and is a great selling point for them. People use it regardless, do not care about meaning or reasoning, and younger generations do not know any better. For most people, shallow depth of field and/or bokeh, is amazing and somehow "professional". Because this generation will dictate future market, the bokeh/extremely shallow depth of field and the appropriate cameras/lenses/accessories will be the norm (unlike traditional S35 aesthetics in moving images). I do some camera work for a young-ish guy and he started "shouting" at me when I used 5.6f on a Zeiss prime (full frame camera) for someone talking in a podium, with nothing in front of him, and a white wall behind him. They only think he knows, is wide open full frame lenses, regardless!

"But according to sources, the A7S III is amazing, it is really amazing" That is all I need to know!

JVC LS300 did a lot of things right, a few better than anyone else (included the variable sensor) and a few quite wrong. The fact is we still use this camera (together with the GH5), and there are a lot of people using it here and some buying it new. The fact that is the only modern JVC camera that we know the name of, proves that it was a successful one. Limited success, but success nevertheless.

@IronFilm your last 2 links are the same. How are you going to use the iPad with the F8n? I have one (an iPad Air that never use) around and I am probably getting the F8n also. Edit: what happened with the Audix?!

400nits? So probably even less than that. This is a perfectly fine monitor for Vampires, and I am sure there is a thriving community over there (of "What we do in the shadows" fame)! I hope you are not wasting your money.

Funny thing, newer generations use whatever shutter speed and do not care! I know a few TV shows here that have no ND filters in their cameras, nor their drones. They just don't care. People have started laughing at me when I am taking my ND filters out, or using a tripod. Am I too old school?!

There are some laws in physics that can not be beaten. An ultra light and small drone can be easily affected by wind speeds, can't go very high, can't carry bigger batteries, can't have bigger motors or bigger(better) gimbals. Whatever fits your needs, but for my needs, a slightly bigger Mavic is the ideal solution. Too bad that it won't have 1" sensor, but I am expecting the Mavic Pro II to stay relevant for at least 2-3 years from now, and the drone market to slow down a bit in the next couple of years. With all the latest models, DJI seems to cover all bases. My issues with Mavic Pro. 1) needs better codec/bigger bitrate/bigger sensor 2) better stability, some issues with wind noise 3) slightly better power management. Phantom is just perfect in everything, expect size. Spark is too small.

I didn't particularly like how everything is put together (handle/monitor/mic and the excessive cables) and the touch screen needs some force, that destabilized the camera of the tripod (I used manual focus for the shooting, but I tried some touch AF and didn't like the results with the older L lenses) and as we shot 8bit HD, we could easily use a C100mkII for the job. I am not still sold 100% on this camera. Too expensive for what it is (around 9000€ over here), and when I spoke a bit with the producer renting it, he told me "yes, but it does 50/60 frames", something we didn't use anyway! Go figure!!

Most of the times I do have at least 2 of most things. A silly tiny Manfrotto tripod, a NX1 (or 2, plus an NX500), lensES, micS, I do not use adapters.

I understand that you are forming your style, I am sure you are going to earn a lot of money from weddings! I may be too oldschool, but I needed a few times of "pause", some time to breath in your edit, just my humble opinion of course. I noticed that you used a couple of prime lenses, again that is your style and I respect it greatly, but personally, I find a good zoom lens liberating for such jobs - that can be more stressful and demanding, later on in your career. Keep up the good work, and I am waiting eagerly your next project. Next level? Heineken!

F4 is slightly different than the F8. The tiny knobs of the F8 made it impossible for me to use while booming, and I remember having to press something more frequently than the DR680. In no way the Tascam is better than the F8, just saying that I wasn't that impressed. Have you used the Edirols? Big rotary knobs, just perfect. SD? Also. I just noticed that the F8 is 760 on a specific shop here. 100euros more than the F4!

With the A7iii there is too much DoF, and 4f isn't an issue because of the low light capabilities. In this modern era, 4f zooms are just fine (the "cheap" Canon CN lenses are 4.4t, 4f and are amazing tools together with a C camera). My ideal lens is the NX 16-50S 2-2.8f. 24mm, I use all the time, even for small groups of people, couples, architecture, establishing shots, landscapes e.t.c I used to use a lot of 28mm zoom lenses (or starting from 18mm in crop) and I was always missing those few valuable mm in the wide end. If I could choose only one prime, then 35mm for sure. Samsung NX system has 10mm fisheye/16mm/20mm/30mm/45mm pancakes (called by Samsung, in reality is a bit bigger). The fish eye/30 and 45 are unreal for the money. The 16/20mm are good but not spectacular.

I haven't checked the Swiss prices, maybe is more convinient, and the mountains are lovely this time of year!

Too much unnecessary movement. Too much, and too many Amstel beers, that is not a good lager! Also some random shots in there, and it seems like you shot the whole wedding on a boat. It certainly has a style, and you can earn a lot of money when you improve it but the most important thing, is to watch it again, and truly see what works, and what not. I shot recently a wedding, we were 2 persons, using only 35 and 85mm lenses (Sony full frame cameras). Even using the crop mode, I found the whole procedure too slow and too limiting. I love going 24mm when wide (even wider for my establishing shots) and near 80mm for my portraits, (so, a 16-50 APS-C is ideal).
