  1. SmallHD focus on sale - https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1338111-REG/smallhd_mon_focus_npfw50_kit_kit_includes_focus.html/mode/edu/mode/edu
  2. Great strawman there ^ I would hope that a camera that cost $5,000 more than another one would be leaps and bounds better, that's that Canon tax though.. DPAF (IN VIDEO) is fantastic for slow moving subjects or when you you want to mimic a traditional focus pull. However it fails with very fast moving subjects, I've seen it first hand as I have friends that do the exact same thing as me. Test it yourself, go to a local high school Varsity game, or if you can get credentials an NCAA or a Pro venue, shoot with the same focal lengths I use from the sidelines which is 135mm - 400mm @ F2.8 - F5.6 and report your findings. I promise I will be the 1st person to reply to that thread saying "I stand corrected" Ive shot HS, NCAA, and pro games in the pouring rain for the last 3 going on to 4 years and have never had an issue with it. How is my statement "complete made up bullshit" if I have done that very thing for last few years standing on the sidelines next to D5, D4S, and 1DX users?? The A6300 has been out for 3 years now. Mines paid for itself a long time ago and just like myself EVERYONE here knows its pros and cons at this point.
  3. I wouldn't mind upgrading to the Miller Air Fluid head. $600 isn't toooo bad. I wonder how it compares to the E Image GH06
  4. Only reason I can think would be to match to an A7sii that said person might already own. The A7iii does have a different color science sooc.
  5. I wanna sell my 502 fluid head, honestly its ass
  6. Yeah HLG is super OP, love using it.
  7. Sony Cinealta F5 - Venice arnt super popular as everyone knows.. If look at the TV, high end doc, reality TV, sports, and the news market, Sony basically has a monopoly on that sector. Ive said it a few times but in think Canon is really trying to target the in house Netlfix/Hulu/Prime video productions which is genius imo.
  8. 1. I shoot sports videography which i specified in my OP, been using that A6300 for well over 2 years the only issue is batterylife. I have a friend that does the exact same thing I do an uses a 5Dmk4. And if you watch his videos you can see it struggling to keep up. DPAF is fine for slower moving subjects but have you tried using it with fast moving sport? It suffers. As said by many sony video af is faster/better for fast moving subjects. 2. Wooden Rosette handles are extremely comfortable, have you ever used one? I see a ton of FS7, FS5, URSA, CXXX, users running after market ones. 4. Have you ever used a good quality external monitor? Its an experience to say the least. A Smallhd on camera monitor is going to be better than ANY built in camera screen. To say otherwise your just a troll. To my knowledge the only affordable cameras with built in waveforms is the GH line, false color?, vector scope? A larger image to make sure my framing is good? I bet you would agree pulling focus on a 7 inch screen is a lot easier than with any 3+- inch screen. 5. I rarely shoot 4K in games, 98% of the time slow motion. (I do the post game highlights), what canon camera does 120fps slow motion with usable autofocus in 1080? NONE 6. Weather sealing doesn't exist. If it did all cameras would come with a legit IPX rating. Ive shot tones of games in the rain with zero issues ? 7. With that photo you linked, yes the photogs are shooting CanNikon as sony doesn't have the Tele primes like those 2. But its funny bc you better believe the super bowl last year as well as tonight is being broadcasted by Sony XDCAM cameras. 8. Ya ima a Sony fanboy as ive said on this website numerous times, before I switched as I was one for Canon and atm im looking @ switching to Panasonic. 9. I don't upgrade my cameras left n right like other people, so thats why I've been using my A6300 for over 2 years. It does what I need it to, puts food on the table for me. The XT3, and A7iii don't bring enough for me to want to upgrade immediately. Because I only have 3 lenses and universal accessories, when something from Fuji, Panasonic or Sony gets released with all the specs that I need for my line of work i will upgrade. I've never said Sony is perfect or the best for every genre. You justify using canon in basically EVERY thread related to that brand on this forum, I can do the same.
  9. Fanboyish statement sounds like its from Canon's marketing department. But hmmm what job? I shoot sports (video) from the sidelines at all levels of play Youth, Varsity HS, Club/NCAA, and professional lacrosse. Nearly every camera body they make would be total joke for what I do.. Edit: After watching the Northup video, I agree the EOS R is great "Family/vacation" camera ?
  10. True, at this point its just hilarious. The last relavant release from Canon was the 5Dmkiii. Feels like every thread even remotly related to Canon is full of people trying to justify why they still shoot that brand. Do what ever the fck you wanna do with your money, just don't come back here complain due to intentional product crippling.
  11. I strongly agree and believe this system wont sell very well with its overall price point.
  12. It will be interesting at launch. However for videography I'm planning on picking up the new Panasonic CX 350, but for stills I might stick with Sony. Pricing and lens roadmap could get me to switch to the Panansonic S1 though.
  13. Bc there is still money that can be made which there is. Nikon will probably close its doors before Canon becuase they actually have a foothold in the ENG/Video world. A market where there is still a ton of money.
  14. I heard once a lens has fungus it can never be 100% removed as it will just grow back..
  15. ? Before anyone says it, this has SDI unlike the Ninja V so its a better fit for professional video cameras and cinema cameras.. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1334247-REG/atomos_atomshgin2_shogun_inferno_7_4k.html/mode/edu/mode/edu Also my link may or may not work cause I have the EDU discount thingy.
  16. Personally I'm an event shooter that specializes in sports with the occasional documentary. I prefer a sharp clinical look as it tends to look more true life. If I shot short films or was interested in the so called "cinematic" look maybe i'd go for a softer/organic look.
  17. I agree. Its interesting because when all these YouTubers use the term cinematic + shallow DOF together, yet the last couple of times I went to the movies its always been a deep Dof.
