mkabi Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Definitely worth its weight in gold... Apparently the Terra 5K can record 5K in ProRes too, but I'd like to know... What kinds of frame rates can it record in ProRes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is the same way RED advertises their cameras as well (plus many other companies too, Sony/BMD/etc). However.... accessories / add on / batteries / media are all *HEAPS* cheaper for the KineFinity system than the RED ecosystem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver Daniel Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 From the decent footage I've seen from the Kinefinity cameras, I think it has one of the best images on the market. These new Terra cameras almost sound perfect, so what's the catch? (yes, they come from China and only have HD Videoshop in Berlin for distribution in Europe). The features look great, but i'm mostly impressed with the weight/size. I'll be keeping an eye on this one. IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, I browsed a few Chinese language forum threads and the response over there is HUGE. It is like when an announcement is made on reduser. Maybe this is a reason why they're so poor at catering to the western world? They're already flat out at max capacity just trying to keep up with their local market demand??

It's really hard to find professional footage for these cameras. Most stuff I've seen is vastly overexposed/underexposed, graded badly, lit badly, shot badly or a combination of these. I remember seeing a short film shot on the Kinemini 4k, and the the image quality was outstanding - like you'd expect from a theatrical feature release. But I can't find it ANYWHERE.

Like I said, trying to hang with the big boys without any rep is not gonna fly. A Scarlet-W base package plus PL mount plus side handle plus a few extra MINI-MAGs will be getting up to nearly three times what the equivalent KineFinity would cost. Not always an option to just go out and do, spending that much coin. However on the flip side of this is the big issue for KineFinity that no client (outside China, as it seems within China they're gaining a solid rep already) would ever specifically request it.... but you'd often get a RED explicitly requested. Thus from a business perspective it can be tough for it to make financial sense to purchase a Scarlet-W, even though it costs nearly 3x as much. Quote BTW, do you have one on order? Nah, when it comes to owning cameras I'll try to see if my Sony PMW-F3 / BMPCC can last me out for another couple of years, going to resist spending any more money here that I don't need to do. And then when I do upgrade it will likely be to a secondhand Sony FS7 or F5. Or maybe a secondhand URSA Mini 4.6K or KineFinity Terra 6K, and I'll certainly keep my eye out for more user reviews of these two over the next couple of years. But as much as I'll try to resist buying any more cameras.... I feel certain I'll have moments of weaknesses! Quite likely at sometime during 2016 I'll buy a cheap 4K camera such as the NX1. And next month I plan on buying half a dozen action cameras for a 360 Video rig. Plus I'm currently mucking around with a cheap 20 megapixel point and shoot, and if I get the scripting working on that, I plan on buying half dozen more of those point and shoots for a photogrammetry rig. Plus as well as being a video professional, I'm a casual hobby photographer and wouldn't mind indulging myself with a Nikon D750 and FujiFilm X100 one day! (one can dream, but film needs take priority over hobby wants) So yeah, looks like I have my hands more than full with cameras to buy at sometime!

You see, I'll agree it looks interesting, but making the move from interesting to taking out my checkbook are to different things. I'll pass, unless prices become such that it's worth the gamble to me. I suspect this is the sentiment of most people here. vaga 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
