thebrothersthre3 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Yeah I mean if you are missing the 5D look than getting a Canon seems like the logical choice. EOS RP, M50 with speedbooster, or EOS R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boukmanmutt Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Good morning to all guys. Thank you so much for the passion in which you have helped me, your suggestions have been precious and have helped me a lot. In the end the game was between the Eos RP and the Fuji X-T3 and I decided to buy the Fuji X-T3. The offer I found for Fuji was too tempting (850 euros with one year warranty). Now I will buy a speedbooster and in the meantime I will sell the Olympus 12-60 4/3 to buy another lens later. Thanks again and as soon as I have The Fuji I will let you know my opinions. P.s. it is true that the title of my discussion is "miss my 5d", but it was referred to the 5d primarly as a dslr, and then, as a Canon. We will see if I will miss the canon look, but from the images and videos that I have seen, the fuji look seems excellent to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronFilm Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 If you been willing to wait a little while for the price drops... then the newly announced Nikon Z5 might have been perfect for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, family video is 90% of what I do nowadays, and 4k 60p is the best format to use to capture the most live You-Are-There video. Another thing I did is replace all the lamps in my house with 5000K Led bulbs. That solved major white balance problems caused by window light mixing with indoor lamps, and solved some major color grading headaches. They looked strangely cool for a few days, but we became used to them fast (the old lamps look horribly yellow now). On X-T3 I use the Eterna film simulation at DR 200, but boost the color level in camera. I find it needs no further grading if exposed correctly at the right white balance, a major time saver.

thebrothersthre3 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I love the 18-55 fuji lens for family stuff. AF is just nice sometimes, get those pin sharp eyes without even thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention there is nothing more erratic and unpredictable than a toddler. That said congratulations and let us know how that all works out for ya!

boukmanmutt Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 Hi guys, I could give it a try for just two hours but the impressions are really good. Works great in low light, the videos are really legit. Only thing for me that i was used to the bMpcc and 5dmark II lcd, the lcd is small so it costs for me to focus, but i will get used. Also the grip sucks but i see they sell a handle for 24 euros, i will buy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
