Greetings,
I am an enthusiast/casual user and originally purchased the X-T2 because I loved the video images I was seeing early on. One of the bigger lessons I have learned for photography/film since then is that many of the skilled and professional users here and elsewhere who release photo and video are not only artistic but also highly competent in using equipment. I, however, realize that I feel most comfortable bare bones due to level of interest and time constraint. Therefore, trying to get lowlight video and photo or certain looks SOOC is both limited by my knowledge base and hardware, including software capabilities.
I'd like to find a retailer who takes trade ins and swap for a system that is more friendly for the following needs:
1. Fast-moving objects in poorly lit environments like a gymnasium or indoor stadium (I tried shooting 50-140 lens on X-T2 at 2.8 and needed the ISO over 6400 and SS at over 1000th to get a few in focus - the rest were out of focus and dark/blurry)
2. Video in similar conditions to #1
3. SOOC video that has good highlight roll-off, color, contrast, etc. (I will get crucified but "filmic" still is an adjective that I feel is appropriate when I see some of the video posts here)
I am not sure the GH5 or X-T3 suffice as maybe some of the limitations I am experiencing are due to the smaller system?
I am sure there are parts of this discussion I am missing but that will come up with further dialogue. Thanks in advance for suggestions!
