good question. Colour rendition, depth and resolution. Actually I still struggle to identifiy what specs would make a better camera and definettelly not totally objective. But I love the raw files that come out of my ricoh GR. I also feel like the benefits of a higher megapixel camera is not only cropping, but is there a perception of resolution increase (not digital sharpening)? I am seriously asking this. I have not done or seen comparison but maybe the A7C and S5 24mpx are sharper than my EOS R ? so what comes into play? I would like to have a sharp camera for digital visualization( so no pixel peeping, rarelly printing, no pixel peeping) in that case, did you see the benefit of a A7R over say the S5? the used A7RII is so cheap now, almost for 600 pounds. I considered buyint it for stills and an xm-5 for video Thanks for all other considerations. ZF looks amazing, a bit bulkier for me though, checked one at the store yesterday. c70 most of times now because of canon colors and sometimes even using the EOS R as a second camera. But also BMPC6K I usually have good EF glass at my disposal and only own one 35mm 1.8 RF and one sigma 24. 1.8 EF Do you like it so far? yes, makes sense, I am looking at it, not sure if more megapixels make sense for me though if I am not cropping, no pixel peeping and not often printing. If it does increase the perpection of resolution than I would be in.People say 24 megapixels is "enough", I wonder if it is as good as - if you are not printring croping etc.. if it doesnt make such a difference I should either put more money on the a7CII or 10 Bit would make me rent much less defintelly. Colours make a huge difference for me and I do see a drastic difference. I could even shoot 1080p. I see the s5 can shoot beautifully in 1080 10bit, and I know I could achieve a good result with sony 8 bit slog 2, I have done that, but it would not be for any kind of shooting since it is more demanding. But then, if megapixels do matter i could only have a A7RII, if megapixels dont matter thaat much and for lower a A7C with the befenits of poecketporatbility. thanks for pointing out this, it was not on my radar. I will have a look at a store. the RF lenses options are not great but yes, the 28mm 2.8 would fit perfectly. I have the 35 1.8 which has terrible autofocus, hunting all the time. from what I read the R8 would be perfect apart from battery which seems to be quite bad

I saw your other post. Maybe a a nikon ZF with 40mm could be it. Is it better than the s5 for stills or any comparable to the 7R?

I thought about it. mainly for the small lenses. But the camera itself its the size of any full frame and the I dont think its better than the S5 for stills, right? indeed. I think trully pocketable for everyday only the ricoh GR. and fuji x70/10 Gx85+20, XE4 or Xm-5 +27mm are jacket pocketable and perfect for when you know you will be photographring. Still, would be nice thinking of other small Combos available which give the benefit of a much higher IQ, even with some compromise. The S9 would be amazing if there was only one small 1.4-8 lens. not sure If it could be only one with the electronic shutter though. Crazy to think that the gx85 would be the best choice after 10 years. the 27mm 2.8 on the xe-4 or xm5 seem to be a big bigger with the protruding lens cap.

I would like to something smaller and at least 10 bitt 422. I checked the xm-5 on a store and didnt like its ergo for one hand operation, in a strange way it didnt feel as good as a gx85 or a ricoh gr. Im thinking that the S5 for 600 is the way to go for all the rest and for pocketable stills just waiting for a cheap xe-4, film cameras, ricoh grII (it never gets cheap) or even go back to gx85+20mm.

Hey Guys, I know you love some camera discussion! I feel it would be nice to replace my EOS R. It served me well as an OK stills camera for eventual architecture photography and some portraits and it was also ok for video work. I also have a Ricoh GRI that I use as an EDC that has kind of broke now, so covering this would be a plus even if with some pocket ability compromise. I am not usually doing very serious jobs very often, so I can rent whenever necessary. reason for changing is that for photos I am mostly using my phone (previously Ricoh) and for video when its not a personal project I rent. So my EOS R is no longer being used that often. I would prefer having a camera that is very good for photos since my video work is mostly paid and I can rent. So my wishes for a new camera would be. 1) Can become a pocketable EVC for street photography ( I loved to use and own a gx85 with 20mm and Ricoh) 2) Highest IQ possible (colour 3d pop and resolution). I don't need it to be fast and I don't care if the AF is not crazy fast. ( I am not sure if xm-5 would be an upgrade, probably not 3) best quality possible. Although I guess at this point anything new will be good enough. 422 10 bit internal though seem nice. I considered getting the xm-5 and a used GFX 50R, or just xm-5 with good glass or just A7C, or s5II and shoot stills with a portable film camera Let me know if you have any other advices! Thanks!

How and why is Cinema P3 Pro better than BMD app? Only thing that annoyed me with BMD is that is lags while using h265/log, you can't use 2x lens (and I found counterintuitive to change iris) or have a Auto solution ( but still use log and h265).

I found that the BM app had a bit of lag while using it on really hot conditions. Sometimes it was 2 seconds behind. Not sure if the same would have happened standard. It may also be related to shooting h265 and log. I don't know.

Thanks but I am hoping for something that will keep it on pocket. Otherwise Ill use my camera. this design is closest I saw but probably not so good. It is terrible that there is a always a huge imagetic industry of people showing off their rigs and things are really cumbersome. https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005005066512401.html?src=google&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=768-202-3196&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&albcp=17283575038&albag=&trgt=&crea=pt1005005066512401&netw=x&device=c&albpg=&albpd=pt1005005066512401&gclid=Cj0KCQiAjMKqBhCgARIsAPDgWlwMKj4hJWeKLAWHLzRknXDDVPTeSN4rkrnvqitahpu-zYYYa3YUT4gaAgLNEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&aff_fcid=4a6efd8e6754473297cf1d451e700c5e-1699796407150-01741-UneMJZVf&aff_fsk=UneMJZVf&aff_platform=aaf&sk=UneMJZVf&aff_trace_key=4a6efd8e6754473297cf1d451e700c5e-1699796407150-01741-UneMJZVf&terminal_id=ed021bd9ce8e43198ef17c8d6f1aa4ec&afSmartRedirect=y this one would be interesting if their UV was their ND https://www.polarpro.com/products/iphone-15-case

OK, I just came back from a 2 day one-man band shooting in the amazon. I shoot with a c100 doc style and have a Eos R for b roll. I had found myself in similar occasions with a iPhone 13, many times before, occasionally using it for a b roll scene and always regretted it because it was rarely usable. Seeing the footage I got with the 15pro max in log now I was really happy to see it will be useful for my kind of work. Specially the 120mm and 24mm. Having the action button to the black magic app and quickly recording in log was very nice. I actually didn't use the eos R. Ill share it here once I've edited it. by the way does anyone has a nice nd filter minimal solution for iPhone? P.S: usb c also made by life much easier both for offloading footage directly to SSd and getting imagens from people on the road

Hey @SRV1981, im interested in your posts about 15pro, but won’t check every video. So if you can just point what interested in each video it’s nice for us to decide wether to watch it.. thanks!

Well, 15pro max replied with internal log. I hope they soon make it work for the smaller sizes format as well, so than we don necessarily need to add a ssd

Wondering if any of you ocassionally take serious using an iPhone, and if so, what app are used to get a good log. Filmic pro seems a robbery with subscription and I have not even tried Apple proress much due to data size and bad reviews. I currently have the 14 pro and shoot fox with c100 eos r5. I find myself relying on iPhone due to allowance of camera entrance in some areas, but haven’t really taking it seriously to match the other cameras yet..

Thank you! C70 would be a dream but a bit above my maximum budget at maximum 3k euros. I can buy a camera now that I am in europe for some weeks but I’ll shoot and live in Roraima, norther Brazil, Amazonia, border with Venezuela. So I wont be able to rent and will need for a long period. I am looking to find experiences with the fx30 but I find hard to think it is practical for one man band doc, compared to c100s..

Hey guys, I am looking for a cinema camera to shoot one man show documentary, which may envolve long days in the forest and with best battery possible. Low disk space is also important. I’m thinking of c100, BMP6kpro, fx30, f5. I already have a eos R, will keep it mostly for stills and want a camera that’s facilitates my life. Shooting with the c100II with me nd filter, boom and sound working good was the best experience I had with a camera operating alone for a doc. I don’t know if there is a better solution now. the problem is I would probably die with the c100 in case a buy it now and eventually do other kinds of work. I thought the c200 could be an alternative for using raw later and also not future proof but I see it’s operability is not as good. Ideally I would buy a c100 for less than 700 euros used, but I can buy pocket if I convince myself that is the best option. I also see a f5 for less than 2300 euros used. What would you recomend? thanks

will it have the option of 1080p 10 bit 422 ?

I hadn't seen this comment. Fx30 appeals for the form factor for video, but both as apsc for stills ar a bummer for me, even though I was a entushiast of m4/3 and apsc for years, I have been loving FF on the eos R for still and wouldn't be ok with smaller sensors..

I only have the 35mm RF Version the others are EF lenses which I intend to adapt. Going the L route I'd probably only buy the kit lens and either the 35 or 50mm for now Thanks for the sum up! Thanks @Django @MrSMW and @IronFilm for the considerations! I didn't know about the FX30 and would defintelly jump in If i were not taking more and more stills. I like the form factor of EOS R and still no sure if I will miss it on the stills side even if going the s5 route. But the cinema improvement seems massive. with alternatives to rig up and going raw or having a solid hd with 10 bit for long doc style. on color side apparently panasonic improved a lot and autofocus on canon is something I really love, but s5 seems to be ok. Thanks for all the other options, but I think for the price point S5 seems to be the way to go.

Thanks, but I am looking for something available now and not above 2000 dollars

Hi Guys, I have been using a eos R for long and have a chance to update it next week but haven’t been up with the last models since 2019. what is a the good alternative for both stills and run and gun documentary work ? I did a bit of research and found the Panasonic S5 to be the best reasonable update, but wanted to check if you had other insights. (basically I work in amazonia and want to have a durable, long battery, easy to shoot and beatifiul colors out of the box camea) thanks!

In fact just before the pandemia i had to spend a day with Liam Neesson showing him our work around, but we only talked about "the mission". Photographer was using a hasselblad and video guy a A7iii.

Pixel 4a 5g or a used ricoh gr II Pretty happy with eos R and D16 bolex for video. I just miss the small size of my gx85 for stills

I really liked the approach of this review, comparing cameras to ultraportable cameras ( even though phones will always have an usability advantage) https://spacedrone808.blogspot.com/?m=1 And this one shows the mi note 10 lite can be quite decent with app tweaking and newer sensor

Thanks a lot for the analysis! Really impressed with huawei.. and I have given up buying a ricoh GRII. Since the xiaomi mi note 10 ( CC9 on list) is so cheap and has the same sensor I wonder if the colours are awful or if it's a solid budget cameraphone alternative. Have you considered it? P.s: xiaomi names are a disaster, just spent hours trying to understand what is what and realize even reviewers confuse the name

I have been craving for a ricoh grII since I had to sale my Gx85, which I carried on my pocket everywhere for uncompromised stills So I want something for snapshots that looks great colourwise right away. The ricoh grII with "positive film" is the exact kind of result I want to achieve ( I would probably rarelly use it with raw), but it is still quite a lot of money and I would surelly not use it as much as a phonecamera. I have had a look at the amazing new samsung, huawei and xperia phones, but wondering if a cheaper phone could excell on just a 28mm fov with great colors. Most phone reviewers are tech guys. I used to be happy with a iphone 5+vsco, but looking for something more. ( I have a budget xiaomi that is a great phone but terrible camera) What are your thoughts? Any new apps+ phones good enough to replace the look of a ricoh grii for web content? Pixel4a? Iphone SE?

I bought It for 1799 a week ago. Can't believe it
