AaronChicago Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 The UM46k isn't too big. It easily fits in one hand with the other hand underneath the camera, focusing. No need for external monitors/recorders like the FS5 to get ProRes/RAW. Now if you're wanting to go incognito then it's not a good choice.

Cinegain Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I'm baffled that people still put up with the Sony quirks in the A6x00-range... who wants a camera that's unreliable? Or atleast gets so hot you can bake an egg on it (maybe nice winter hand warmer though). Deal with that kind of nauseating rolling shutter? Maybe otherwise it scales lovely detailed images and you might've fixed the overall color and channel clipping issues thereof. Anyways. Curiosity killed the cat. I'm not one to be all over that, but I guess you want to try out profiles for that camera. And then ditch it as soon as you figure 'ah, now I remember why this sucks', as it probably wasn't the color alone. Casheroos down the drain. I'd be more likely to get a NX1 if I wanted APS-C. Actually, I think the X-T2 might make more sense now. Or you can just suck it up and deal with the smaller sensor performance out of m43 cameras already if you must have sensor stabilization... GX80, G80, GH5, E-M1 Mark II. Take those over the A6500 until Sony decides not to make sucky APS-C cameras anymore. But you know. Everyone gotta do what they gotta do. Wish Panasonic would join up with Blackmagic Design for a re-do of the BMPCC and approach things a little more differently this time. A more sizeable and serious standalone 4K ProRes/RAW DNG shooter. There's nice ingredients all over the place... but noone's nailed a sweet dish quite yet. Why does it always have to be a little sour or bitter... and for Pete's sake, can't we have Nikon meddle in already? I'd love to see a mirrorless no-bs (e.g. crop) 4K APS-C camera by Nikon to be honest. No cinema line to protect there. I'd be all over that. sudopera, KnowsNothing and Kisaha 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that moire and vertical stairstepping is showing up on G8, GX85 and G7 4K footage. Dr Dave has bought it to attention on some other sites. Seems that the G7 is the lesser of the culprits. This footage by Dr Dave is a good example of it showing up on musical instruments and architecture. Dan Wake 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
