webrunner5 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Don't you own a Panasonic G80/85? I would say a whip pan might be even worse on it? Not many inexpensive cameras have very good RS unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrothersthre3 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Most hybrid cameras look bad when whip panning. But the A6400 is still worse. The other nice thing about the G85 is it has great 1080p, which has low rolling shutter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 That G85 footage IS in 1080p?? It doesn't look too good to me for RS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webrunner5 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Well the video is in 1080p. Doesn't mean he shot it in that I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webrunner5 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Here is a comparison. Yeah it is better in 1080p, but that is no real surprise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVdgdLJS68Q&feature=share Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webrunner5 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Yeah my a7s was the poster child for RS in both 1080p and 4K lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What?!it has no 4K, and it has 19.5 in APS-C mode and 30.5 in full frame. Actually the NX1 has the same 7.9ms as the cropped P4K 1080p (official numbers) which this is exceptional for a cheap 4 years old camera.

I mean they were good for the time. That number almost makes me want to buy an NX1, if only for the 16-50mm ? CyclingBen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still better rolling shutter than the A6300? I feel (I say "feel" because I never owned a NX1) that the rolling shutter wasn't the deal breaker that most people made it out to be. As rolling shutter is only truly terrible in a scene for some kinds of certain shots, so you'd shoot 4K most of the time then switch over to 1080 (for which the NX1 has some of the best rolling shutter performance on the planet!) for those specific shots which need it (perhaps a fight scene which is going to have heaps of crazy whip pans).

And Sony has such a bad rep with overheating, I remember my Sony a5100 overheating after each gimbal take even during winter time at night! frontfocus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the 1080p is heaps better than any Sony APS-C 1080p footage. Non crop also, etc 1080p is so good that I almost never shoot 4K anyway. Sony has significantly worst RS, but sold/sell extremely well anyway. Everything is about marketing I guess. NX1/NX500 were way ahead of their time, they just been surprassed actually.

Makes me reconsider the camera actually because I don't really need 4K. Every company should have a 16-50 f2-2.8 kit lens Kisaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is about marketing I guess. Maybe, or maybe people just don't care that much about bad rolling shutter... or just have learned to live with it. Of all the things that really bother me about my a6500, rolling shutter is probably only like 6th or 7th on the list.

Yeah, the other day my son was trying to shoot with our a5100 indoors and at night and it is winter here, and it overheated in about 8 minutes. It's just NOT a good camera for video unless you rig it up with an external battery, a real fast memory card, AND those cold gel packs to keep it cool. And even after all that you are probably better off recording off the hdmi feed to an external recorder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Maxson Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Andrew, I'm no Sony fanboy...or fanboy of any manufacturer. Hell, I'd use a gas-powered camera with a crank start if it shot great footage. (Self-noise may become an issue). It is low-hanging fruit to nitpick the shortcoming of this camera. It's easy to point out the fact that this is not an FS5 in an a6000 body. We need to think of this as an upgrade to the a6000 as opposed to a disappointing new offering from Sony. The a6000 was and still is a great camera. A compact and lightweight APSC cam that takes great pics and nice 1080p video. So what if I told you the a6000 now: -shoots 4K 30P -Has a mic jack -Has a touch screen -Has a vertical flip screen -Has improved autofocus for stills and video -It tracks really well -Has better battery life -Has a better/newer processor -Shoots proper timelapse internally -Has a "My Menu" -Higher rez viewfinder -No record limit -Plus so much more... ...I think we'd all think this was an excellent upgrade for which most of us would have no problem paying $300-$400 more.
