wolf33d Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 With the new players (Z7, XT3, upcoming S1...) I think it would be cool to re-give the prize for best 120p in the market. @Andrew Reid you have both the XT3 and Z7, which one is better in 120p? Any footage comparison planned? All good 120p cameras now do good quality for close up (like a portrait and big bokeh) but you can easily tell them appart when you film a wide busy scene with water and grass for example: this is what is interesting to compare. Worth putting in the comparison IMO: A7III / RX100 / Z7 / XT3 / GH5 / 1DX2 and soon S1 and A7SIII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntblowz Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 E2 is probably the best since it does 4K 120P. IronFilm and Emanuel 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrothersthre3 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Definitely the Z cam E2 I think the XT3 has an edge with 120fps as its 10 bit recording. Getting mine today so I'll be able to compare it to regular 1080p. Emanuel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf33d Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 E2 is a big camera, nothing to do with XT3 and RX100, sorry forgot to exclude this category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only ~14% larger volume than the XT3. It's half the weight of the 1dx2. It's the same weight (and smaller volume!) compared to the GH5. It's true the E2 is not a photo/video hybrid with DSLR ergonomics like the others, but it's certainly right in there in terms of cost and size.

Oliver Daniel Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Yep, Z Cam E2 probably has best sub $2000 120fps. I’d guess the Fuji X-T3 is next on that list. GH5 and all the Sony’s can look good under the right conditions - but can be prone to looking quite poor. Exposure and lighting needs to be absolutely spot on.

androidlad Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 All of the E2 footage released so far have that home video look, with an off-the-shelf sensor IMX294 it's hard to tune in the right colour science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf33d Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 E2 is totally out of the question for me for many reasons. Thanks for pointing out the real size though. Like many others here, I assume XT3 120p is best, but I would love to see a real world footage comparison especially vs A7III and Z7 with busy scenes. The only person I am aware having the 3 cameras is @Andrew Reid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Urquhart Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 FS700 with Odyssey7Q or Shogun Inferno. - You can pick them up cheap - 4K@120p in 12bit RAW(!) or ProRes flavours (DCI & UHD) - Continuous 240fps at 2K (12bit RAW or ProRes) - Super35 sensor - It's a proper video camera....internal ND's, XLR inputs, SLOG2 etc....

thebrothersthre3 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Yeah the FS700 definitely has the best 120p. Its actually pretty affordable too. Not what the OP wants though, its much bigger then a DSLR or SLR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck of a lot more to 120p that just the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few people have received theirs. There are only one or two user reviews on YouTube so far, but there is a pretty active Facebook group. 2 minutes ago, webrunner5 said: Yeah along with the 1.5x crop of the lens to start with! Huh? Everything I read says the XT3's 120p does a 1.29x crop on top of the 1.5x, which means ~2x crop compared to full frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked it up, its a 1.29x crop, so with the 1.5 crop its 1.79 Still better the an M43 camera shooting 24fps. Maybe you are thinking of the BMP4K which is a 2.7 crop or something like that.
