I'll throw in my opinion, as someone with lots of video experience.  As you get more advanced in video you are going to want 10 bits.  Period.  For Sony mirrorless the choice is just the A7Siii ...

The Fiordland photo is symbolic for me. I was also there as the pandemic began, and flew home to be locked out of scenic NZ all this time. "Light and hope can always be found." Maybe next year.

Well that was interesting.  420mm is well beyond what I can hand hold for video, so it was a challenge to sort out any stabilizer stuttering from my own hand held instability.  But with some ...

Sorry, I was trying to simulate sunnycal 's configuration where he sees stuttering with a 70-300, which I assume is the Lumix 70-300 which has OIS.

Could be.  But I have the Lumix70-200 with a 1.4X extender, which is 280m.  And I tried fast panning with the S5 and can't see any stuttering.  This was 30p, and going to 60p requires APS-C, for ...

I doubt stabilization is the issue.  I've done lots of panning with both the S1H and the S5 with no jerkiness.  Usually the problem is playback on the computer, it can keep up with no panning but ...

First, happy to see the Roadrunner photo. This is one of the most popular birds here in the southwestern U.S. For one thing they kill and eat rattlesnakes, which puts them high on my personal...

In the mean time many of us are busy utilizing the Azure Labs products, finding where AI is useful and where it isn't. We also take snapshots with our AI based smartphone cameras and don't worry...

The ultimate at this time is the Blackmagic 12K camera, which is equivlanent resolution to nine 4K images.  Zooming, panning and tilting in post to produce 4K video sort of makes zoom lenses obsolete.

With the A1 in 4K you can: 1. Shoot full frame, and do clear image zoom to 1.5X 2. Shoot S35 with a X1.5 crop/zoom, and do clear image zoom another 1.5X So it is like the A7RIV, and the total zoom ...

I held out for a long time and finally got this lens a couple of months ago.  Fantastic is a good description.

Nope. It worked initially with A1, but the latest firmware update killed it. If Sony could get this right it would be a good GPS solution. But how many years has it been?

Same, old Colorado guy here, enjoy the photos.

Aha, your post reminded me that I have one of those SmallRig SSD mounts, and I was able to fasten it directly to the 5 inch BMD Assist, on one of the 1/4 inch mounts.  I used the bottom mounting ...

Yes, both monitors have HDMI lag. There is a problem if you are recording audio from both the camera and the monitor audio inputs. That is camera audio comes over HDMI so it is delayed from audio ...

I really expect 10 bits with the A7 IV.  Sony now has good 10 bit capability with both the A7S III and the A1.  It would be a huge marketing mistake not to have 10 bits with the A7 IV.

My goal is to not use a cage, and so far so good.  The weight depends on what batteries you use, and the BMD with two F550/F570 batteries seems about the same as the Ninja V with one NP-750.  I ...

I got a BlackMagic 5" Video Assist earlier this week; I'm just getting used to it but have a few initial observations. First, I do almost 100% HDR.  This started back in 2018 with a FS5 video ...

I just got the Video Assist 12G to use with my S5.  'Just got' means two days ago, so I don't have much experience with it yet.  So far it is simple, I love it, but I'm sure to find some issues, ...

Mexico is color, crank it up.  Me gusta.
