So there are a number of things that limit the information we can capture and experience: (1) 1. the display (2) 2. the equipment (lighting, optics[lenses], sensor)…

I've had my a7s for over three years and it is still doing fine. I haven't put so many clicks on the mechanical shutter, as I bought the a7s for the silent e shutter so I could do many timelapses ...

?? I don't see how your feeling on this is accurate. If you research the effect you experienced, regardless of camera system, the overall majority of the cause is the SD card itself since it wasn't ...

Without taking time to research the particulars of the sensor, etc. to speculate on how your particular achieves the particular resolution video, let me share two points to the more general ...

I just thought of a workflow, no time to test it at moment: -id feature in quadrant near edge in all images, -make proxies by cropping to quadrant, -stabilize proxies taking note of keyframe ...

In my mind the advantage to using LR is color correcting/grading at original resolution. Your sit. loses this. Whatever timeline you used in Resolve, in re-sampling.the resolution for vid, you ...

It depends. Often the advice, for ease of processing, and disk space, is to only collect the needed material [representative frames (time lapse frames)], during the capture, allowing your ...

Something often missed, esp with some post here, is the value of a RAW file (es. with color correction concerns) in containing data for each RGBG pixel quad off the sensor before the interpolation ...

Hey Capybara, Nice macro work. FWIW I often hand-roto some footage in PS, I understand your memory issue. Here's a workflow I use that gives me consistent results with my insane quality requirements: ...

There isn't a simple answer as mileage will vary depending on conditions/situation. #1 The Moon is below the horizon or a new Moon phase. #2 The conditions allow little moisture/particles in the ...

I use a number of different size field monitors for the astro video and photography I do. For my situation, I get 4 benefits: (1) FOCUS it makes it very easy to manually focus seeing a larger image.

Everyone has different ways of doing things, but I have to completely disagree with your assumptions about camera shake. I don't own one lens that isn't manual and even if I'm hand-holding my f/4 ...

It doesn't look like anyone directly addressed the entirety of your question. In short, think of framerate (fps) like you think, but that each image "begins at time x" based on the framerate, start ...

You are confusing framerate FPS and shutterspeed , shutterspeed also known as exposure. Both are ' virtually ' applied in processing. Exposure is about how much light is registered. A slower ...

Just buy a decent dedicated videocamera with a 1/2" sensor or smaller. Stay away from the 4/3 or FF sensors of the camera you mentions, as you are doing sports that require fast panning (rolling ...

IMO you could get away with any of the HD camcorders/handycams $200 or under you'll find at the local bestbuy or walmart -pending its a Sony (lots of options), Panasonic , or Canon (very limited at ...

I would suggest you define your use and expectations more. What are you going to do with the videos? How often are the recordings? How much storage space do you imagine you will need (hours per ...

You are asking several different questions and the answer is not solved with one piece of tech. Your image quality requirement allows greater freedom. (1) power: A great limiter to meeting ...

Ray, I hope you find what fits your needs. However in reading some of your points/requirements/dealbreakers, I would caution you to start with how you will use the camera and determine what specs ...

Ignoring the difference of what AVCHD and MP4 is, there could be a difference in chip processor stress for the compression (AVC could put more stress). This may cause more heat build-up. ...
