Yes for video it is

Natural or HLG. Not a fan of CineD skintones, though I guess its the best way to get max dynamic range in 8 bit. Skintones will have more to do with your exposure than any profile though.

I wouldn't live off of it, although I could especially in certain places. I wouldn't use social media unless I needed it for business and then it would be paying for itself.

In the comparison's I've seen with Red vs Alexa, the red clipped the highlights faster. Wasn't their latest sensors though. Dynamic range is just very subjective. For example comparing my XT3 to my BM pocket(og not 4k) they both have pretty similar dynamic range, the XT3 being cleaner. The Pocket shadows look nicer though once recovered, there is just more color you can get back into them even though its noisier. My experience at least.

Have you ever compared it to an Alexa? I am guessing the Sony probably has cleaner shadows but I doubt you get much highlight information. Also I've never heard filming only have 11 stops. I've heard people say Film has similar dynamic range to an Alexa.

What is the appeal of Leica in general?

I could probably give up the internet for a million dollars. I could get someone else to manage social media for business.

The one thing up in the air right now is how the Nikon auto focus will perform with Prores RAW. Its not reliable with external 10 bit 422 in log at least. Maybe you can record in 10 bit 422 with the flat profile?

insane!

The choice between the Nikon Z6 and XT-3 is a tough one. I would say the XT3 is superior in every way except low light performance. Of course the Z6 has the 12 bit prores RAW capability with an external recorder. If you want the full frame look (or even medium format) that is another point for the Nikon. IBIS is also another factor, if its something you need. I went with Fuji for the color. However the auto focus and high speed options were a big plus (10 bit 4k 60p, HD 120p 10 bit). I also don't like using external recorders.

Yeah I usually shoot with a very low SS, like 4. If there is nothing moving other than clouds though there is not much need. The latitude on the XT3 in RAW. I imagine I could do a midday to night without adjusting exposure and just bringing shadows and highlights up and down in post. Would have to get the best compromise exposure though. I usually just do sunset time lapses though. Its been too cold to sit outside for hours. I need to get my drone working! OliKMIA has inspired me.

Lovely footage!!

Oh wait I thought the original had 4k 120fps, my bad. That is a good upgrade then. Maybe the OG ursa mini 4.6k will get down to $2500 used

Ah oh well, still a nice camera. There is an Ursa mini 4.6k on ebay right now for just above $3000. If this drives the prices of them down more that would be cool. Though if the only upgrade is 300fps I don't see it being that big of a killer.

I mean I guess you can get add on longer lenses for phone cameras. Not sure how well they work.

Yeah its fine for certain uses. Not really a fan of ultrawide lenses for images of people. Being able to get a super wide image at 18mm on full frame is wonderful.

Cool but its got a tiny sensor. Would be cool to have for casual use though. I never really realized it until using full frame cameras but the lens selection is so much more versatile. Micro 4/3's sensor is pretty large in comparison to cell phone cameras, but even then its a drawback. Makes sense that phone tech should advance faster though, everyone uses a phone.

Higher frame rates is cool, though I am more curious about the new sensor. I wonder if it'll be better in low light. I recall the 120fps on the Ursa mini 4.6k wasn't too great. Maybe its improved on this one. Looks like a very interesting camera tho.

The XT3 Auto focus is better than the A6300. So if that was working for you, the XT3 won't disappoint. Of course you'll also get way better rolling shutter performance, 10 bit, and 4k 60p.

Nothing on the GH2 looks much like cineD as far as I remember. Try shooting both in natural. Shoot a color chart so you can match in post easier.

With a tiny sensor

Thanks on the offer. The DJI Osmo plus smartphone wouldn't be a bad idea. I just remembered I have two gimbals so it shouldn't be an issue haha. Starting to have so much gear I lose track. I know my Beholder DS2 has a timelapse mode, I just don't know how to use it lol. I know you set the start and end position but not sure how you set the time. I got it once but it was only like a 10 second pan haha I need like a 10 minute one or longer.

Some pretty amazing stuff there. I was a bit floored on how you accomplished some of those shots than it occurred to me maybe a lot of it was shot with a drone maybe? kye- nice timelapse, that's a nice view

Ah yeah, I've looked at tutorials before. Never took the plunge to figure it out as the wedding footage I shot was just handed off to an editor. The couple I've done for small projects on youtube I just rendered as a video than applied a curve to the entire video.

Not sure if I have that in my adobe package.
