I don't think so. It was hard to follow because there were a lot of characters, and it was cutting between different timelines, which made it hard to follow. I was expecting a different movie.

I watched Oppenheimer yesterday and I wish I went to Barbie. Half joking of course but the movie is very long and hard to follow at times. It looks and sounds great, as expected but it could've benefited from tighter editing.

Only union productions are affected, everyone else can continue working.

I worked on medium-sized productions and have friends who worked on high-budget shows for HBO and Netflix. They only film RAW for VFX plates and everything else is in ProRes.

All manufacturers LUTs are pretty bad but Nikon is on a different level of bad. I'm using Cinema Tools for both Nikon and Sony and quite happy with them.

I was hoping for sub $1000. Silly me

H265 looks worse than ProRes HQ or N-RAW but only in terms of texture, the dynamic range should be the same. I haven't done any side by side tests but it looks like the DR in N-log is the same as on Z9 or Z6II. Are you shooting in N-log? What are you using to transform the footage to REC709? The official LUTs are pretty harsh, even the updated ones for Z8. That might be your problem.

There's a bit of post-processing involved in this video too but I do agree it does look great and miles better of other examples posted in this thread. There's a difference between a DP and a person who likes tech and pretty images.

Had Z8 for a spin and it's such a great camera. I wish more companies will go for internal RAW/ProRes recording because h265 doesn't cut it.

Looks pretty good to me. I'm still a fan of catalyst browse stabilization, although I hate the workflow.

Do you think that the mic quality is good enough on ZV-E1 to not use an external mic?

There are plenty of cameras in that price range to choose from. The main perk of this camera is the size and that comes with limitations.

@TomTheDP interesting. That's a very specific niche though, general audience is still watching mainstream films for the most part. The last microbudget film that was popular and made a lot of money was One Cut of The Dead as far as I remember.

10 bit is a must if you shoot in log, in normal profiles you won't see a difference.

Do people expect to film 2 hour interviews with it?

But who watches these films? I mean it's pretty easy to distribute your films these days. A bunch of stuff that I worked on is on Amazon prime and Apple but nobody watches those and I don't think that they made any money.

Please delete my previous post. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Z9. If it wasn't for physical size, it would be my favorite mirrorless camera ever. I hope some of the video features will make it's way to the new generation of Nikon bodies. All I want is internal ProRes HQ.

Does it record gyroscope data for stabilization in post? It would be weird if they removed it.
