agolex Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 speaking of extra batteries.... do you guys have any suggestions for the "transcend u3 card" of 3rd party batteries on amazon? lol i need that delightful dichotomy of reliability and frugalityP.S. cant believe i spelled dichotomy right on the first tryI'd just try something with a decent review track like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049WBZEK?redirect=true&ref_=s9_simh_gw_p421_d10_i2I've tried two different cheapo versions and haven't had any issues, yet. They're supposed to not hold their charge as long as the premium ones, but I can live with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Padgett Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I purchased a set of the Wasabi batteries and charger from Amazon when I bought the camera. One of the two batteries fits a bit "snug" and I have to use a pointy object to pry it out of the camera. I still plan on using it as it works fine otherwise but just keep that in mind when purchasing them. I've heard others report the same issue of the Wasabi batteries fitting too tightly.Battery life with this camera has so far been decent but nothing to brag about. If I knew I were going to be using the camera for video all day, I might want four or five batteries to feel safe. kaylee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaga Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 ^so standard sony I guess?Anyone able to compare the battery life with that of a t3i or NX1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agolex Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 ^so standard sony I guess?Anyone able to compare the battery life with that of a t3i or NX1?Yeah, standard Sony. About 60 to 70% that of the NX1, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebv Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I guess this is slightly off topic, but how's battery life with this for stills and for video?Battery seems to drain lot faster using hfr but not that bad for a 4k camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzynormal Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Are those some huge webs I see in the bushes? And if so, what's on them?!Lackey Moths? Known as tent caterpillars where I grew up in Michigan. I remember one year as a kid they were friggin' everywhere. Step on 'em and yellow guts squish out. Ah, I'm channeling my inner 8 year old.

Flynn Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 This camera can't shoot video in a 4:3 aspect ratio can it? Curious how it would look paired with the 2x Anamorphot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PannySVHS Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Thank you, I saw your post. Most of my recent stuff has been heavily graded, but I'll see if I can shoot a couple tests for your perusal. How are you getting on with the G6? Hey, I´m very happy with the G6. Resolution is pretty.Codec doensn´t mind a little bit of color correction and messing with LUTs.Usually shooting all -2 on Natural, color mostly on 0. Kinda sucks for peaking though.Gonna post some examples and my short vid very soon. best regards TheRenaissanceMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
