Super8

I just used the A7III for a quick photo shoot outside. I was asked to tag along and be the photographer and didn't have my gear. My take: - The viewfinder display is lacking compared to Nikon and Canon. It had a lag and I couldn't tell if I was nailing shots or not. I was shocked by this because of all the reviews and positive feedback. - Burst rate was fast. - Color? No as bad as I thought it would be. It has a look it wants to give you, not sure I dig that. I'm trying to get my hands on a Z6 and Canon EOS R to do a shoot out with the A7III

Great looking film.

That was great!

If Kevin can get me access to the Falcons or large sporting event I'll be glad top stand by my word. I honestly didn't mean to disrespect Kevin at all but out of all his Atlanta Falcons shots I saw one that was good. I crew up with Sports Illustrated and NFL films and unlimited access and behind the scenes with a NFL team is almost unprecedented. His photo's are his own. It comes down to finding the shot. Again, I'm sorry that I offended anyone with my comments. I respect the photographer but I don't like the picture he takes. I could say I don't prefer or his photo's don't do it for me but it means the same-thing. Kevin is blessed with access to big events that other don't have and I'm sure he paid his dues, I respect that. The great thing about photography is it's one picture at a time, one. Photographs can be amazing and can capture the moment in so many ways. Let's not forget that.

HAHAHAHAHA. Sorry couldn't resist. Bad skin tone from a Professional Sony photographer. Let me in and I'll nail the shot and skin color with a Canon. To be honest I am impressed with the access Kevin has to big events. I like a few of the photo's he's taken regardless of the camera. Update comment: For all the access Kevin has to the Falcons, how come those pictures are so boring? I don't mean to disrespect him but I don't get it. His photo's are bad. No anticipation, very bad composition , bad color, nothing dynamic, missed focus.

I'm new to all things Fuji. This footage looks great. Is the X-H1 a relavent camera in 2020? How does it compare to the newer Fuji cameras for video? I noticed the Z-H1 can do 200mbps at 4K. Can the newer Fuji cameras do this? As a first time Fuji shooting what would everyone recommend?

I think the budgets on Netflix shows determine what cameras are used, if Netflix is involved pre-production or post. Netflix won't approve or touch a production without approved cameras. If you already have something in the can then everything is fair game.

The footage you commented on has added sharpening. <Please break down this footage> I'm still waiting on a an answer about benchmark and professional test charts. I provided a link.

Because it's not in Raw Pro RES footage. There's another You Tube video and the Z6 user did this to the footage: " i set in fcpx noise reduction _ Sharpness _ medium". Apparently from the comments people think "noise reduction and sharpness" is part of the work flow because it's RAW footage. If aliasing was an issue it would be apparent in this video:

It would be a great thing. It's not happening because it'll cheapen the brand.

Why would Arri go after the lower priced market? For every $40,000 camera they sold they have to sell 10 x $4,000 NEW cheap ARRI. It makes no sense for one because unless sales are down you don't cheapen the brand by coming out with a cheaply priced ARRI. Take a look at their catalog and products they're trying to sell. They are not a humble cinema camera company. They are all about the money. The other reason it makes ZERO sense is if they give Academic ARRI's to students (student priced) then the footage and output will look sub par. Why would ARRI want that?

Is there that much difference between the FS7 and the C300mk2 ?

Awesome. Does it stay believable that the man character could do what he did physically over a 2 1/2 hour period? Everything looks like he's Jack Bauer, who also had some what of a continues time-line. 24 is one of my all-time favorite cinema shows.

Cameo 40" Resolution Analysis Chart https://www.abelcine.com/buy/lenses-accessories/optical-evaluation-tools/cameo-40-resolution-analysis-chart I think this is the reason why you use the monitor instead of a professional test chart. $1,200 for a test chart. You might want to consider benchmark testing would also validate what you're doing. Benchmark a cine camera that's in basic terms "gets it right". No other Nikon footage is displaying what you claim that sensor is doing.

Was it great content?

It's different when someone post informative audio/ video gear links as reference in a supportive discussion.

Andrew posted the OP about Sony color still being sh%$. That's the topic being discussed . I've added my 2 cents and and I have experience shooting and color correcting Sony footage. I know professionals use the FS7 and other cine cameras from Sony. I also know Some professional photographers use the A line up for photography. Here's my OC about the A7 series camera, i.e the A7III and A7IV - "Most of these users are not serious photographers or videographers either. If they do video then they know how much work goes into fixing Sony color." Andrew made some very solid statements about Sony WB "The white balance system Sony is using baffles me.". He clearly doesn't give Sony and out and say Sony's AWB system is off. Just discuss Sony color in this thread and not so much my opinion about Sony users. It's Sony fanboy talk to give them a pass and say " I think the main issue is AWB for Sony". If that was the case then EOS Pro Color wouldn't be needed and Sony AWB would be addressed on endless You Tube channels.

Andrew's post and your reply back are still in this thread.

I honestly question the motivation of Falk Lumo and your post. This footage looks absolutely great. Where are all the issues you describe? (Line skipping exhibits huge more, aliasing effects and reduced low light performance) ???? I'm waiting on Andrews review of Nikon's Pro Res RAW. Not a lost opportunity for Nikon.

I've used Sony A7 cameras and graded tones of footage. I know that footage inside and out. I hope the post about the Sony is directed at defending color produced and not directed at me. If you follow Andrew's comments you'll find he addresses auto WB and WB and calls out Sony for getting it wrong. Without any proof you guys are saying Sony users aren't WB before they shoot or are using AWB and that's why Sony color is off. So you mean Tony and Chelsea don't know how to operate the Sony cameras they're using? That doesn't seem to be the case. I do think Tony has switched back to Canon. I've actually liked Tony and Chelsea's video in the past. They became hard to validate once they switched over to Sony because what they were saying and claiming didn't match what I was seeing.

My man I was just going by what you posted to a fellow EOS user. "great 2020 sales" can only be taken one way when you're pushing an unknown off brand product. My apologies. It just seemed a little off coming from you.

You can direct the later comments to me and not Andrew if you like since I wrote that. I was a little harsh about correcting stills in RAW with the Sony but I stand by the photo's and video that I've seen. Just look at Tony and Chelsea's videos record on Sony A7 series that they post. I believe since they switched to Sony, all content they create in studio is shot with Sony. Skin tones and color depth is so off on that footage that I'm surprised you and Mako don't notice or acknowledge how they look.

I use the term affiliate link in general. You're not using coupon codes or direct affiliate links but any link you post on the EOS can be tracked and credited to you as a sale. Please don't act link origin links from the EOS don't carry value and can be used for kick back purposes. You've been posting company product videos with prices, pitches and reasons to buy in an aggressive manner, more than anyone on the EOS. People post product videos and links all the time from reviewers doing real test. The link you provide are from low level copy products and the videos hardly have source content from said product. You posted to one fellow something to the effect of "happy 2020 sales". So what does that mean? Are you making a money from posting these secondary knock off products? (I ask because you said: "this doesn't mean I post to make a few bucks" ) You don't post like a producer of content but a sales person. It seems like you just recently started this, money issues? As for me I own a Ronin S and never said I've worked or been hired by them in anyway. Kind Regards -

Should we expect the GH6 in 2020? I don't think many GH5 owners are jumping to the S1 / S1H line up like Panasonic thought they would. I think GH5 owners are waiting on the Gh6 or have switch to the BMP4K m4/3 set up.

Great concept. I don't think the fake drone in those shots help sell this product. It doesn't look like any footage was filmed by that drone or camera. Are you affiliated with these companies you keep posting about? It seems odd that you post promotional footage with prices and you do this inside threads about competing products. Just curious is you think these products are good or you get a kick back.
