Don't see the point in the a7 series when if you just wait a few months more you can get the video focused a7S update instead! 7 hours ago, salim said: There is a comparison near the end of this video: Aaaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhh..... that audio is awful!

That horrible yellow cast on the Sony, GH5 is reddish. Assuming he had WB on auto of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inazuma Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Tony mentions that the autofocusing in live-view is better than the A7RII and GH5. That can't be right, right???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted October 6, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted October 6, 2017 Someone needs to explain that test from Tony I guess. The D850 has 3 auto white balance modes - 1. Keep absolute white 2. Normal 3. Keep warm ambient cast The A7R II in the test is shifted to the usual Sony zombie yellow with poor skin tones and warm whites are neither true white or orange - they are yellow! This is exactly what EOSHD Pro Color sets out to fix - and does. Don't use the default Standard Sony colour!! The GH5 in the test is under exposed or some other issue. It is doing a good job of getting the ambient temperature of the light in that room though, whereas the Nikon appears to be set to the first auto WB mode. This stuff should be mentioned at the very start of the test and the different options cycled through in the test as well... Otherwise people think it's a performance issue. It's not. It's a setup issue. Cinegain and Damphousse 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brellivids Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 "Good in low light. Check! Articulated screen with peaking? Check! And you don’t need me to remind you the 5D Mark IV lacks both!" According what I have read and observed from web sources the D850 does not have peaking in 4K video mode. peaking only in 1080p and photography Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy good. Doesn't really get better than that good. Yah. If they could improve RS and maybe add IBIS, I would snap this up faster than whatever.

no_connection Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I was getting excited until I saw that rolling shutter. However this is a huge step in the right direction and bodes very well for the upcoming mirrorless lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you still have a 1DX II? Curious why you didn't compare the 1DX II, which currently has the best balance of usable features for high-end stills and 4K DSLR video. 4K MJPEG is indeed heavy for storage, though the latest version of Resolve can play the footage smoothly on somewhat old hardware (e.g. 2010 MacPro and GTX 980-level GPU). A modern PC can play the 4K MJPEG (including 60p) in real-time in Premiere Pro CC. When aliasing isn't an issue and doing mostly medium and closeups, 1080p full frame looks excellent / filmic at 24, 60, and even 120fps (DPAF works in all modes), along with fairly small H.264 files. 1DXII is $3000 more expensive. You should compare that with D5, which its replacement will come in the first half of 2018, if not sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you serious?! I've been somewhat contemplating a GH5 recently and thought this was fixed... That's a major letdown, pretty much scrubbing it from my list based on that.

TwoScoops Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Not surprised it's being so well received, the D750/D810 video was quite under-rated. Lovely colours. IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, its barely a year and a half old, it'l be at least two more years before its successor is even announced. The big sports bodies are on a 4-year cycle. The d750 and 610 replacements will likely be next in 2018 - along with the FF mirrorless cam. IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a setup issue. Thank you for explaining this. I've seen all three cameras come up with nice footage. Obviously it will be easier to achieve with some cameras vs others. I think a review like Tony's does a real disservice. I agree with your comment about the GH5 exposure. There is obviously so much more detail present in the overhead lights. The D850 has less detail and the lights are totally blown in the A7R II footage. But the A7R II has more details in the shadows. It would be interesting to see the colors on each camera with something like a simple gray card used for custom white balance. I just think it is ludicrous to get wildly different results out of cameras of that caliber and not even attempt to try some very easy common sense adjustments. It just turns it into an utterly meaningless exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
