shadowrun Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hi I need a camera for short films / advertisements / commercials / music videos etc ... I'm thinking about: Sony A7S II + Shogun. Sony FS5 + Shogun. Is this a good choice ?! Maybe something else? I care about the most image quality! I would like to create such films: https://vimeo.com/143211613 Sorry for my English, and I ask for help, Regards Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Why something as expensive as an FS5? Seems you've got limited experience? If so start out with something more basic and cheaper to learn on first, that is still very capable and good: http://ironfilm.co.nz/a-priced-out-gear-kit-for-a-newbie-to-filmmaking-using-the-panasonic-gh2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowrun Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 I have experience and certainly will not be pushed in GH2 ... (this is old equipment) hard for me to choose a good camera ... DLSR or CAMCORDER? I'm afraid the DSLR: - No ND filter - Bad rolling shutter etc ... I want to spend - once and for all would not regret it! Can someone help?

Kisaha Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 If you want to spend, buy the C300mkII or the new Sony FS7mkII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 This was shot on a gh2, so I would think it's still capable If you want internal NDs, good rolling shutter, or more than 8 bit, the a7sii can't be your choice. Not sure how much good a shogun would do on it either. Ls300? Fs5? C100ii? The blackmagic pocket camera is less user friendly, but the best out of all of these for image quality. a lot of options, hard to say which is best. Do you have more requirements to list? 4k? Raw? Log? high frame rates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowrun Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Hi my budget is 7500$ ... I have: Led Light's, Ronin M, Atomos Shogun, Tripod, Slider, Monitor PC Dell Up3216Q, Sennheiser MKH8060, Tascam DR40, Rode Blimp, Boompole and others.... I need Good 4K Camera with good lens! I do not know whether to play in the DSLR! whether it is better to choose a professional camera?! Previously I worked for: Canon C100 (it was OK but I need 4K). "throw me to the dogs" look very veryy good FS700 is too big FS7 mkII and C300 is too expensive I need good camera for short FILM! and sometimes for Tv Commercial, spot, clip etc... Regreds, Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercer Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Idk, if I had that kind of money and needed/wanted 4K, I would probably go with one of the Blackmagic Cameras... probably the BM 4K Production camera... or maybe the new Terra and then I would put the rest of my camera budget into my short/feature production budget because you'll always need more... or maybe even rent the camera for the narrative and commercial work and then buy a C100ii for your bread and butter work. But to be honest, if you can't make a good narrative short on the C100ii, you probably can't make a good short. Have you considered 5D mk iii ml raw for a short? Honestly one of the most beautiful images I have ever seen. Geoff CB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff CB Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 FS5 if you need 4K, use Shogun to get 10-bit compressed version of the raw stream. Main option unless you go $10,000+ for a complete package. SebRoss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowrun Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Fs5? is good choice? Quality picture = A7S II? I Have shogun but 10bit it is unrealistic .. only 8 bit SDI and HDMI output ;( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
