IronFilm Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I'd skip the Atomos Ninja 2, and only consider the Ninja Blade. As vastly better screen, and gives you waveforms. As for the D5200, I got one as it was the best buy for its time. But today, I'd suggest taking a closer look at other affordable cameras such as the A6000 or G7.

jagnje Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 The a6000/a5100 and g7 were my first picks, based on price, specs and ability to adapt just about any lens...especialy the a6000. I watched probably hundrets of clips of those online and it all sucked except a few. The green/yelow cast in sony skintones and overall britle and digital looking image of the g7...I thought it was just peoples unabiliti to grade, until I got to borow it(a6000) The skin looked ok-ish in sunlight, but horible under lights. I tried all of the picture profiles, got white balance spot on, used pro arri lights. The client prefered the 550d by far and so did I.a friend has the 5300, I asked him for some clips and just about everything was spot on in all the shots and just about every video I see it looks good at least.Untill there is a proper mirrorless camera by canon or nikon it will have to do.

wolf33d Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I have had the d5200/500 and the T6i and there is no contest. T6i video is non usable and far behind d5500.d5500 is the best camera for the price. Just as the d750... But I just ordered a a7r2 because I need 4K. Wish I could have a 5d4 or. D850 with 4K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagnje Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 Well, I one feature for a weekly automotive tv show every week with a 550d, so I would not call it unusable far better that the eng cameras they used before. But yes, I agree that look wise the 5300/5500d is a far better camera than others in the price range. I just wish you could set the wb in kelvins.

jagnje Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 one more question for budget nikon users...I have always set my expousure to the right ETTR with canon dslrs, but I have always used magci lantern. I usually just set the expousure until I saw zebras and then pulled back a bit. how do you do ETTR on nikons and be sure you are not blowing out the highlights?
