  1. My bad. I thought they were for the Z-mount.
  2. Sigma does make lenses for the Z mount. And reviews say they work great. https://www.sigmaphoto.com/lenses/standard-lenses?sigma_format=7063&sigma_mount=12003
  3. Nikon never really upgraded items through firmware either. They already paid one for Pro Res RAW. It kinda defeats the purpose of getting the Pro Res RAW license. The market in 2020 is dictating 4K60P. Nikon didn't follow the market with 4K 10bit external. I don't follow your logic about Nikon's decision making process. 2018 said they were thinking differently.
  4. This is weird because image quality and color should be a big issues for content creators that do what we do. Apparently not for a lot of people. More false information The RAW update was messed up. Nikon missed how they should have marketed that. They were also late, very late. I still don't know the quality upgrade you from Nikon RAW since it skips lines or whatever and it not a full sensor readout. They are not too late to the game. This is another Sony You Tube brainwash. You have GH5 users, Nikon DSLR users and a lot of other creators that are ready to jump to FF. You kinda are giving them a free pass. It human nature to do this for a brand you love. But be honest, how do you fix Sony color issues with the A7S3 ? The color issues seem to be worse than the previous models.
  5. Is that your footage? Good work if so. My prediction for Nikon is 4K60p 10bit internal. 120p external and full sensor readout RAW external. They already have great AF in photo's and video. They already have great color science and great glass.
  6. Of course. I agree with your breakdown of Canon's tempstatus. property. What's being reported is the R5 is not overheating by temperature but being controlled by Canon's cripple hammer software that shuts down the camera based on record times so that they protect their cine line-up.
  7. 6 hour delays is not a "firmware or Canon cripple hammer feature". Running with this information as fact and shouting from the rooftops is negative hit piece fan boy miss information. I could repeat it 100 times on Facebook if I disliked Canon. This is what is done and what causes camera companies to go under. So pick your sides I guess on who you support. I can't stand Sony because of the culture they create. It's the CNN of journalism. Report the news, do a good job at that, opinion pieces become a problem because people take opinion for fact. I have seen some really great looking S1H footage this weekend. Hope everyone is doing well in whatever part of the world you live. Cheers.
  8. No it's not the firmware causing the issue. Do you really think firmware would cause cameras to stop recording at 17minutes with an overheating icon warning and then go 21 minutes for someone else. Let's stop this rumor and false statement from spreading NOW. In this thread the S1H, R5 and A7S3 are all given outside temp readings and they are all around the same temp except the S1H comes in with the lowest temp. You wonder how hit marketing works, now you know.
  9. How many cameras disguised heat issues with recording limits or recording externally. If Canon can give 30min solid record times with quick recovery times then no one should have an issue with the R5.
  10. You are 100% correct. The Z6 is much better than what's portrayed on YouTube. People on the EOS don't know what they're missing. It's all marketing. This is what I hate about Sony marketing. It's to the point that it's false and hyped up. It's great for the Sony side but it takes down a company like Nikon. That's the dishonest part. Have people lie about the Z6 camera so it has a poor reputation. Nikon pushed the limits of video quality that we expected, no reason they won't do it again.
  11. Nikon is hardly drunk and passed out. They produced a better camera than anything Sony has released so far (the A7S3 is not out yet). This tells you how far Sony brainwash has seeped into the cine world. You can't argue AF / No AF or BM IR pollution / color science and then give Sony a free pass on everything above. People talk about Nikon full sensor read out Pro Res RAW external and get caught up in line skip binning / recording to Atomos or whatever but then Sony gets a pass on external RAW. We talk about image quality, color science and Sony gets a pass. You can't always fix Sony color, in fact you can't fix Sony color. Sony does not produce a NR FREE, sharpened FREE cinematic moving image. Sony does great PR and marketing and this is evident in the You Tube producers that we dismiss but now look to for reassurance that the Sony A7S3 is better than the Canon R5 because it records longer before over heating. Everyone has forgot the R5 does 8K RAW internally. At the end of the day the best produced image wins.
  12. And here's another one. You're missing the point. https://petapixel.com/2019/11/01/canon-patent-shows-detachable-fan-for-cooling-1d-x-like-dslr-through-the-viewfinder/
  13. How dose your S1H footage the FS7 ? And where do you think the A7S3 will line up to the S1h ? I'm asking this because you're mixing two different color theories into the mix. Cine camcorder DP's haven't crossed over is the issue. It seems like you have a few that use mirror-less with cine cams but if given the choice their going for cine cams.
  14. Right because they can't use the A7S3 or Pocket4K to shoot Ozark because they're not Netflix approved. If your work will never be considered for Netflix then invest in the A7S3 or Pocket4K all day. The S1H is relevant. I have issues with the AF on the S1H but my guess is it's not as bad as people make it out to be. I need to rent the camera and find out for myself. In that Sony footage I'm seeing pink faces in some scenes and Florida tan faces in other scenes with the same people.
  15. Didn't BMP4K and Sony's A7III all sell out after their first shipment release? It should be easy to find out if B&H received fewer R5 / R6 than originally promised.
  16. It depends on the content being delivered and what they're paying. If you're pitching an original series like Stranger Things then your A7SIII is not going to cut it. If you go in an pitch an original idea with 100% original content then no you can't get away with my "idea is great" so I'll shot with an unapproved camera. You're talking about a mix of original in the can content that can't be reshot and new content mixed in. This is classic Tiger King content. So yes you have already created original content vs to be created original content. The reality is Netflix has it's approved camera list. In your next pitch to Netflix you can ask them how bogus it really is. I'll let you know how my pitch goes also.
  17. It's called being prepared. If you shoot new original content for a Netflix pitch and you use the A7SIII you'll look like an idiot when they ask for production specs. Netflix camera list is a form of quality control so Netflix doesn't look like You Tube.
  18. Watch Mark Holtze video. You can adapt glass to the S1H. Also being Netflix approved makes the S1H a cine camera. Yeah it's hard to figure out because it is a hybrid but don't slag the facts about the camera. Also, if productions have the money they'll use what the DP prefers. A buddy was on a Ace Hardware shoot and you wouldn't believe how much wasted money they spend on a 5 day shoot. They spent close to a million on traditional a tv commercial.
  19. Not this again? Use your eyes and ears and brain and judge footage first. Then get into spec's and defend what you see and hear. We are film makers and content creators and for some reason we ignore the image a camera produces over what brand it is. I'm willing to give any camera brand a chance if it produces a great image.
  20. Thanks for posting this video. Mark makes a compelling point for the S1H for Netflix production quality without making a pitch. The S1H being Netflix approved is actually great. You can invest in a Netflix approved camera for a lot less money which is needed in some productions.
  21. Seems like internal recording to Atomos is going to be the thing now.
  22. I'm talking about image quality you see as the final product. It's an honest question, right? I need to see comparable S1H image quality to the R5 before I by off on the S1H. Right now S1H footage looks like S1 and Z6 footage. Same sensor with the same image quality. If I invest in the S1H I don't want it to be because of paper specs. I'm still doing my homework on the S1H and maybe Pro Res RAW is the answer I'm looking for. I don't really understand why it's not the preferred camera with Canon and Sony coming up short with the R5 and A7SIII.
  23. How do you know the R6 doesn't work as advertised? What released R6 has been reviewed that was false advertising? Both cameras (Canon and Sony) are not reliable pro cameras. If this was being reported it would be fair.
  24. The level of hate towards Canon and Canon fans is astoundingly obvious with you. This is my issue with the negative hit piece articles and people making it their life goal to hurt Canon sales. I understand giving fair warning about Canon overheating issues but to push Sony color, bad NR and the S1H think color look over what Canon offers is weak. The S1H seems like the files are thin, the color is thin and lacking real depth. This is apparent with S1H - RAW to Atomos samples. You have more detail, better color depth and a color shift to normal with S1H Pro Res RAW footage. It seems like the S1H is wrapped up in spec only like the Gh5. Isn't the S1H sensor the same as the S1 and Z6? I have no clue how it's Netflix approved.
