Welcome back, right Ben. (that's sarcasm) Try to post some helpful tests - which might be instructive to those considering and you get the "Video look" card.

The thing I get most tired of (besides...

Yeah, me too. :beer:

This is a great question, Jim. To be candid, I had pre-ordered the FX6 with my dealer when it was first announced - thinking it would replace my FS7. But because of the pandemic, I decided to hold...

I'm a bit confused on this release as well. As a FS7 & a7sIII owner... scratching my head a bit with this. The VF on the a7sIII is actually pretty darn good (for what it is). Not sure why Sony...

^ I'm assuming that was sarcasm ....

Ben - Cheers! It's good to see you back on here posting again! And certainly glad to read you are well and still active.
Footage looks nice. Thanks for sharing. And manual focus not-so-bad for this...

Absolutely. Just rather ironic - since Paul was the person who "hacked" the F5 to shoot 4k - when Sony initially said it couldn't do it. Now he makes a pretty darn good profile for S-Cinetone... and...

My A7sIII can already do 60p in XAVC S I 4K... so not sure what that's about.
I also don't get many requests for 60p... but believe this what all the young folks use to shoot those gimbal "slo-mo"...

I would venture to guess that Paul once again forced Sony's hand on offering something they were either going to charge extra for - or were gonna roll out in the next product cycle - or simply...

Hmmm.... Lenny... yes - something is definitely amiss. Are you sure you're in "video" mode on the wheel on top of camera and maybe not in Auto or something else?
There are nearly limitless options...

Well... they are getting closer to getting my $...
ND's ... check
tilting screen & easy add on VF... check...
newer, better CS...check
better battery.... ch...er, NP-F570...??? Does anyone else...

"Why It Was Easier to Be Skinny in the 1980's"?

Answer: Because I was in my teens and 20's all of that decade. :grin:

^ Is the FX6 E mount such that you don't need a lens support for that heavy lens?

I know my Video Devices PIX E can do this - but it is also discontinued. But highly recommend this little monitor / recorder if you find a good deal on a used one.

Accidentally upvoted this when meant to downvote. You don't think "Self Educated American" might be a tiny bit political?

Try out Affinity products (Photo, Designer, Publisher). I believe they still have a 30 day trial period. I cancelled my Adobe subscription shortly after it was announced and haven't looked back. ...

I'm with you on this. Most of my work doesn't call for lots of RGB capabilities in LEDs. In fact, one of my go to fixtures for a quick key light, is the original Fiilex Matrix with a 3 x 4 soft...

This is a good question - and for me, certainly means I will not be purchasing a replacement for my P4Pro until the remote ID is being deployed by whatever manufacturer I purchase from next.
As for...

Yes - buy Doug's book or take his online course... I still have a copy of his book in my camera bag just in case.

Lenny - I do have to correct you... while I agree that shooting CineEI and using LUTS can be pretty simple - that's when you aren't in S&Q mode or using cache record - or trying to play back a clip...

Sweet. Please give us an update after you've been able to put it to work & take it for a spin.

Mark - I'm not sure what you mean exactly by "preserve flexibility in post" by shooting in custom mode? Doug's answer above is right - in that shooting in CineEI mode allows for the most flexibility...

1. Not that hot. I have put diffusion and gels directly over the reflector as well as on barn doors - and not seen any signs of melting.
2. Mostly because I started in this business long ago -...

How about favorite Pilsner's or Hops to go with that BBQ? :thumbsup:

love the title of this thread. :). Isn't it full scan instead of center crop ?
