Yes, it is pretty suspiring how many cameras have a mini or even a micro HDMI. Stupid system for sure.

By the way I think your GH2 stuff was some of your best work. Magic camera, I even use your hack. Really Like it. Maybe in your younger days you had the raw desire to go out and do it. I know I just find all kind of reasons not to go out, some real at my age, but..

Like I said in a earlier post that I think Only high end stuff is going to survive. So what they are suggesting is no surprise to me. So yes, I think m4/3 is probably toast. It is going to be 5000 dollar stuff and above that makes it.

37mm ND filter, senior moment. 😨

I think what you are looking for just doesn't exist. You have to either look like a production studio with a Cine camera and rig from hell or buy an Osmo Pocket II and Velcro it to your chest. I don't think there really is a middle ground. Even the GH5 is a pretty weak camera compared to a Red Komodo. The old, "go big or stay home" saying sort of applies I am afraid.

My Phone and my GH2 in B&W with the 12-32mm with my 32mm screw on ND are looking better every day!

Easiest fix is to buy a camera that doesn't need an external recorder lol. It is sort of what Kye said, build the ugliest heavy ass rig or go for what I am doing as of late, just the least you can get by with. 😜

Yeah, the clients are the ones paying the bill, so even if it is a harder road to travel with the Komodo looks like it might be the right path to take. It is Reds best effort so far for overall use.

There are people from Congress that go there all the time, good or bad idea I don't know. Not something new. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/six-us-lawmakers-arrive-taiwan-unannounced-trip-2022-04-14/

I don't think there is any phone that does Prores and Raw. The Apple iPhone 13 Pro does Prores at these rates. All iPhone 13 Pro’s ProRes are 10-bitt with 4:2:2 chroma subsampling. These are maximum bitrates tested by FilMiC Pro at 4K 30fps. iPhone 13 Pro’s ProRes variants: ProRes Proxy: 170Mbps = 21MB/s = 1.3GB/m ProRes LT: 360Mbps = 45MB/s = 2.7GB/m ProRes 422: 540Mbps = 67.5MB/s = 4GB/m ProRes 422 HQ: 735Mbps = 92MB/s = 5.5GB/m

Yeah, but MotionCam does really not work very well at all on Sony phones and not great using Samsung phones either. So, like the video says other apps work out better. And if you have a really old phone probably none of the apps work. It takes a lot of horsepower for some of the apps to work.

But this video with 3 different cameras show maybe Filmic Pro might be a better option than MotionCam on different phones.

I would be afraid of Nikon long term and heck even Panasonic. Somebody is going to go out of business down the road. Smartphones are putting more and more pressure on them. You sort of need a phone but not a camera in this day and age. I don't see how any of these companies can last just selling upscale items. I would think Canon, Sony will be the last two standing.

Well I bought a used OnePlus Pro 9. Got a really good deal on one from a Pawnshop, like 350 bucks used. And a friend of mine wanted to buy my Xperia Pro-1 for nearly what I paid for it so why not. He has several Sony FF cameras, and they sort of work together well. So, a win for him and well me also. I have been a fan of the OnePlus cameras, never had one but like an underdog. And this video helped push me over to the Pro 9. I have not got it yet, mid next week they say. So, something else to learn but hey sort of like doing that stuff. They have had some nice updates on the phone as of late. Good looking B&W and the XPan thing is interesting. We shall see soon enough. Interesting that the picture they use of the camera is not a OnePlus Pro 9 it is the cheaper model OnePlus 9, hmm. But footage is using the Pro 9 in the video, odd. Oh well.

When you are retired even 150 is a ball buster. I paid 109 dollars for my GH2, I had to eat dog turds and tree bark for 2 weeks to make it up. The yard is clean now, but the trees look like crap 😜

Yeah, if you want it on a 1080p timeline sure it is 13 stops. I can see that. In reality we need to buy a PK4 and be done with it on the video side. Not only does it really have 13 stops it can shoot in Raw, and it has Way better color science than anything else we could afford, and hey it has a m4/3 mount, hot damn.

Then you are going to downscale it to Rec709 and then put it up on YouTube compression. Sure on your monitor it will look different but, on the web, not so much. A GH5 is ten times the camera for all the video goodies it has compared to an XT3. Not counting lens selection.

https://www.cined.com/fujifilm-x-t3-review/ And you are not even comparing the same test to each other. It would be 12.4 at max not 13. Like you are really going to see 1 to 1.2 stops with you eye.

Neither one but a Dentist can afford! 😁

So you are just going by the DR figures believing the manufacture. Here is what they Really are on the XT3. Far from 13. Like I said probably not a stop behind. Unless you buy a BM camera you are never going to get high DR unless you spend 5000 dollars.

Oh I don't deny that, but for the average person that can be an expensive endeavor lol, not counting a rare occurrence.

I disagree, I think even a lot of us can be fooled by some Smarthpnone stuff if it doesn't involve long zooms and big DoF. There are some damn good phones out now, and if you use Raw it can be even better if you are skilled at grading. So I really doubt the average person has a clue what is good or bad filming wise. It still boils down to if the footage is interesting to a large audience. When I was young stuff was so terrible quality wise it was ridiculous but hell I didn't know it at the time. I watched stuff in amazement as did everyone else. It is the story that holds you, not the camera shooting it. Sure, if are shooting weddings you need some good stuff and a lot of skill. But damn some of the best Si Fi movies were shot on crap cameras along with pretty crap actors, and horror movies hell the worse the quality the better.

Talk about DR.
