Arikhan Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 @Andrew Reid Andrew, as you tested and reviewed the XC10, I would like to hear your evaluation on the low light capabilities of the camera - compared to one of the Sony RX models (same sensor size 1") and finally compared even with the GH4 (I know, it's a bigger sensor but cropped MFT, as the GH4 was not known as low light monster). Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been testing a few cameras over the past month, with my last test being with the FZ2500... which I am definitely keeping... I love the 200mbps 1080p... even though most people don't recommend shooting with it. I never owned a GH4, but it seems like a mini GH4. Overall, I think the XC10 image was thicker with that 4:22 codec, but for the price I paid for the FZ2500, I like it better. In about a month I am going to get a BMPCC. Anyway, I look forward to seeing what you do with the G85... if the IBIS is anything like the GX85, you should be a happy guy. kidzrevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the price the g85 is a good choice, GH5 will be around 2K, that´s too much, plus the speedbooster, it is going to be a very expensive set up.

Plus I don't need 10 bit ! Cinelike D was always good enough for me. That plus stabilization is a God send Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got the knowledge and experience, access to kit, good writing style. Or offer articles to Newshooter or some other blog like that. Seriously - I think you should consider it! Very ironic clicking on these old threads and seeing posts like this pop up at the top to read first. kidzrevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Wasn't that the same guy that asked to get banned and went to write paid articles somewhere himself? Guess there's a tiny bit of irony there. Though, in his defence, after having cooled off for a bit he came back with a proper attitude (forgiven but apparently not forgotten quite yet, sorry bro). Ebrahim has been given a lot of chances, but I guess a soab once is a soab for life. IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hijodeibn Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Most probably Ebrahim will become an urban legend in EOSHD in the next years, something used to afraid young filmmakers during summer camps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirozina Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I can't get over the banding in blue skies this camera seems to be prone to.The 305mb/s 4.2.2 codec should be more robust than this as my A7r2 using an (on paper) much worse codec doesn't suffer nearly as much.The banding doesn't get cured when you use an external recorder either. I really want to like this camera but this is not acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amook Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I sold mine as I couldn't get over the ghosting problems. I don't think I'll buy a canon for a while. Customer service was pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too am looking at a BMPCC to buy again. BMCC is better output, just not much fun to rig and can't strip down to throw in a backpack, coatpocket.

I also briefly had a Pocket a few months back, but I had a lemon and the thing overheated so much I could barely hold it. So I returned it. A few weeks back I looked at some of the footage and it looked better than anything I have ever shot. I also used it without any monitor with the Panny 12-35mm with OIS... I basically treated it like a point and shoot. This time I picked up a Nikon-BMPCC Speedbooster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just too many good Nikon manual focus lenses around for peanuts to pass up. And they have out G lens Apture control adapters. I have one myself.

Shirozina Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Olympus 43 12-60 2.8-4 is a very good lens on this camera. Very high resolution, very little distortion or CA as it was not designed to be fixed with an embeded profile like the later M43 lenses. webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amook Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I have to say I'm very happy I decided to dump the xc10. I simply could not achieve anything like this. webrunner5 and mercer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
