webrunner5 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Would not surprise me a bit that Sony has a New A7.. mkIII there of some kind to counteract the GH5. My money is on a A7s or the new "9". Well hell LoL, maybe a new A6800. They, Sony, have a few toys to play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turboguard Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I'm still dreaming of a pocket 2 (pocket pro?) andrgl, Cinegain and dbp 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Forsman Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I might pick up a GH5, but definitely waiting for NAB to see what camera bodies are announced. A new A7s or something killer from Fuji would be intriguing. And I'd love to see more compact designs from Blackmagic. A Pocket-Micro revision or an Ursa Micro with a 2.3K slice of the 4.6K sensor would be kinda dope. I'd scoop that up in a heartbeat. kaylee, andrgl, Chrad and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanriverprod Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 imported a7r ii price dropped to $2199. In Seoul, the regular version is only slightly more expensive than a gh5, around $300 difference now. It was close to 4 grand a few months ago. Maybe they'll give them away after an announcement? jonpais and kaylee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been to the store, only seen pictures, but I guess they have to make money when they can, because they stock an Amazing amount of stuff on hand. I don't see how they can have that much electronic stuff, that depreciates faster than you can buy it, and make money doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcs Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 A7S III with improved color, IS, AF, and less RS would be great! Rumored 5DIV features for 1DX II would be nice too! Hanriverprod 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Damn a 1DX II is so damn much money!! Hell you can buy a Sony FS5 for same or less money new, really?? I mean they are a nice camera but a DSLR over a good camcorder? Ehh, U know my choice, Canon colors or not. That is why they invented FilmConvert!

I used to go there and shop since I grew up in NYC but haven't gotten anything shipped to Korea. If you have, how was the experience? If they released the a7s iii with improved af, better color, more stability and 10bit, it would be hard to justify another hybrid body for a while.

Most of my experiences with BH have been good, but I don't order much from abroad anymore because VN customs is like the mafia. If I can't find what I need, I fly to Thailand, Malaysia or Hong Kong.

I mean they are a nice camera but a DSLR over a good camcorder? Ehh, U know my choice, Canon colors or not. That is why they invented FilmConvert! If you need a great stills camera and video camera, along with usable AF, near FF crop (1.3), shoots 4K 60 and works with your Canon FF lens collection, it's the only option. After the FS700 (which I sold), I wouldn't buy the FS5 or FS7 (purchased the C300 II and love it). I have Filmconvert and it's a cool product, however no way does it remotely replace good color science in the source camera (and it's a bit slow, the same reason I don't use Neat Video anymore). The rumored updates to the 5DIV if true will make that camera a lot more appealing to many current Sony and Panasonic users. Because, #color. Why are people so excited about the latest ML updates on the 'ancient' 5D3, even with all the extra hassle. Because, #color! bamigoreng 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily corrected in-camera but watch out for the fifteen pages of people moaning about the red channel whilst ignoring that little slider thingy in their editing suite. tupp, jase and noone 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A7S II has decent color with a little work: Which camera is which? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A7s is my all time favourite camera. I still love my first version for stills and the odd video. I am just getting in before "it" starts (as it will). Seriously, I expect it to be a wonderful camera that would suit me down to the ground and be a low light demon. I don't expect it to be the "best" camera for everything though just as I think the GH5 looks very nice but not the "best" for everything. OH and as for battery life, IF you use fresh batteries and use them quickly, you get a LOT more shots out of an A7 battery than if you shoot over time without changing. jcs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arikhan Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 @jcs Quote After the FS700 (which I sold), I wouldn't buy the FS5 or FS7 (purchased the C300 II and love it) 1. May I ask you, why you've sold your FS700? 2. I've seen some FS700 RAW footage and it was really great IQ. Are you experienced with the FS700 (4K RAW) and the 7Q+? As I will buy 2 identical cameras (+ recorders) this summer for "dual use" (1. 4.2.0 8bit for ENG & quick shooting AND 2. RAW option with an external recording device for great IQ) I was just considering, it would be a great option for me. 2 x FS700 + 2 x 7Q+ fit my budget and it seems to be the only camera at the moment fitting my "dual use" requirements and budget. Thank you! (I believe, @Tim Sewell owned a FS700 too...) IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 John do like his Canon cameras. I can't blame him on the C300 mkII part. I would have one also if I had the dough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
