CanonTheBarbarian Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 brb robust and strong body with great ergonomic made for pros, not like sony toys brb 14 bits 4:4:4 RAW video with motion cadence of gods - AESTHETICS OVERLOAD brb easy RAW workflow, SSD > MLFS> resolve> ??? > profit (how is that any problem lol) brb COLORS! I mean lets face it, NOTHING comes close (apart of almighty Leica) brb 3,5k RAW video and probably more to come - tour over Sony and panny cameras come and go, yet big Mark remains a modern classic, in 20years I will be still producing jooouicy stuff with my Mark while all the sonys a7 mk8 will just paper specs monsters but obsolete. discuss!

tweak Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I got a GH5 recently for specs needed for work (high res, high frame rate, anamorphic de-squeeze) and I still prefer 7D raw image and workflow. 5Dmk3 is even another step beyond that, image is amazing imo.

I feel your pain, gh5 would be alrite if not the sensor size that is basically is the same as in iphone camera CTB APPROVED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthanAlexander Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Even with magic lanern: No XLR, no EVF, poor live-view when recording raw (it's practically unusable in 3.5K), huge data rates, limited dynamic range... Not to mention using raw on a paid shoot would be a risk most wouldn't (shouldn't) take. I've done it.. but I'm not into those risks anymore. It's a great camera - Amazing image, built like a tank, pleasing skin tones. I may never sell mine. But, ultimate? No way. Also, please top approving your own posts.

EVF on GH5 is also amazing and one of the reasons I use it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XLR - true dat, but with shotgun on for scrap audio and external recorder (which you should ALWAYS have for pro shoots) it's alrite (its so easy to sync nowdays) 1080p raw 24p live view is perfect (even with zebras and peaking) I used mk3 raw for many many paid jobs without stress, it always worked flawless CTB APPROVED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noone Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Nice camera Satoshi but to answer your question. No, not for me. Some of the main reasons, A) it isn't the best for low light/high ISO B) It has a mirror C) It doesn't take five of my nine most used lenses at all and it isn't as good for me with my favourite CANON lens as my Sony is. D) It doesn't have a tilting LCD E) it doesn't have an EVF It is early and I am bored (why I responded to such an obvious troll post clearly designed to be obvious).

mercer Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I decided a while ago that for short narrative films, there isn’t a better option, unless you want to go the BlackMagic Pocket/Micro route, but even then the FF sensor of the 5D3 and the native lenses with OIS wins, IMO. With that being said, I’d hate to discourage younger, newer filmmakers from going out and making a movie if they want to but cannot afford a 5D3. For me the best option is the 5D3. If you have a smaller budget, then there are a lot of options. The idea that you need Raw or 4K to shoot a good narrative short film is pushed by people that lack creativity. The best advice is to buy the best camera you can afford, learn how to use it and make the best film you can with the resources you have.

Agreed! 5D mk2 and mk3 are the best value really, mk2 can be had for thousand bucks brb full frame raw, mk2 has also nice signature look to it CTB APPROVED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been watching a friend of a friend’s short films this morning that were shot on a 70D with original Canon FW and they are great, never once did the IQ, or lack of, get in the way of the story or quality of filmmaking skill.
