John D Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Well here's a shot in the dark (pun intended!). I'm ready to purchase the A7s but am concerned about the RS issue for my main subject material - dance. Would anyone with the camera be willing to shoot someone running around for a minute or so in ff and aps-c mode and then post or send me the file so that I can see if it will work for my purposes? Wearing a tutu is optional, of course. ;) I know this request is a bit of a stretch (more puns!) but with the DR and low light capabilities of this camera I'm hoping it will work out. Thanks in advance! John PS - Just to say, as a college professor with two kids, I honestly can't afford to rent the camera to do my own test. Let's see - new clothes for the kids or a camera rental for dad? 'Nuff said. My school will be making the purchase for me and they aren't allowed to rent with state funds, hence this somewhat unusual request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richg101 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 i own one, and would say running full frame is not an option unless you're locking down a tripod with a wide shot, and willing to process with anti rolling shutter post work. rolling shutter is very prominent in handheld fast paced stuff. in aps-c mode it's useable, but it's full frame mode where the real selling point of the cam comes into it's own.. speed booster and aps-c maybe?

If it's a camera pan then the rolling shutter is fixable, but if it's a subject moving fast in a locked down shot, it's near impossible to get a good result, the plugin Rolling Shutter Repair in Adobe PR/AR doesn't even have local correction functions (you can only skew the entire frame). With Rolling Shutter plugin from The Foundry it's hard not to get any artifacts when doing a matte to isolate the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Reynish Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I think it will be fine. Put the camera on a tripod and it'll look great. Don't worry about rolling shutter in subjects unless they move as fast as a car across the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
