Exactly! It is so good that I'm almost thinking about ditching the Varicam LT. :) Seriuosly though, this is a very important feature for an owner/operator and I'm surprised that higher end cameras aren't as well thought out like this one is, AND the image is actually very good from what I've...

I'm looking into buying a GH5 or GH5s and use it as a B-cam for my Varicam LT. First I thought that the GH5s is the way to go but I've been seeing some complaints about lines of noise when shooting in VFR. Do all the GH5s cameras have this issue or has it been resolved? Does the GH5 also have...

I received some filters a couple of days ago that I've bought, and wanted to compare the image with and without the filters. So I placed some bottles in my kitchen for a quick comparison. Then I discovered something strange: In one clip (with the filter) everything looks normal, but when I...

A colleague here in Stockholm wanted to compare the Varicam LT with the Amira so we did it together last week. He had a 50 mm Master Prime available so I changed the settings in the LT to LDS but didn't get any additional information on the display. Has anyone tried this with success?

I bought another zoom instead, the LWZ.3 21-100. It arrived today and so far I'm very pleased. The colours seem to match adequately, although I have to make further tests. The LWZ.2 is slightly warmer (more yellow) than the LWZ.3. Wide open at 21mm the LWZ.3 actually seems to let through more...

I'm sorry for posting this here, but couldn't find a specific place to post this question and since I'll use it with the Varicam I'm posting it here: Is it possible to put a grid pattern (thirds) on the O7Q screen? I'm going to use the O7Q to record raw, so I don't want to send anything from the...

Unfortunately it turned out that the lens has some issues and maybe some of you might have good ideas in how to handle this situation. The lens is bought from a UK company which sells new and used broadcast/video equipment. In this case they have sold it on behalf of a client (and are charging...

It has arrived and I've only just opened the box. So far it seems like a great purchase, it's almost as new.

I'm placing this thread here since I haven't found a specific place on the forum for lens discussion. I'm considering to buy a PL-mount zoom lens and I'm interested to find out if any of you have used these lenses, what you think about them, their pros and cons, which you would prefer and why...

A couple of days ago I saw people commenting on Mr Keaton's post about the new firmware for the Odyssey 7Q(+) and some of those comments included wishes about new features on a new recorder from Convergent Design. I have the first version of the Odyssey, the 7Q, and it has served me well. My...

Noel, I just did a quick test and jumped in front of the camera. :) I magnified the images from both the LT and O7Q and this is what it looks like. There are definitely less artifacts in the raw image. Link to dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8sd5b0xrldvgwck/LT%20DNG%20comparison.jpg?dl=0

I don't know if this will be of any help but hopefully it will. I shot two short clips with my Varicam LT and moved it around a bit. One 23.97p 1920x1080 and one in 59.94i 1920x1080. I tried putting the interlaced clip into Resolve but for some reason the "box" for deinterlacing the clip can't...

Have you tried nesting the 60i material and putting it in the 24p timeline? I'm just guessing but it might do the trick.

Just posted on the VariCam Facebook page. Hopefully this means that the new camera is a Varicam and has the same sensor. I'd love to get rid of my other cameras and have this as a B-camera for my LT.

I'm thinking about getting a wireless HD system for my Varicam LT which hopefully will work well with other cameras too. I have zero experience with wireless HD systems but have tried to find information about a couple of them. Since I won't be using it often I'm thinking about getting something...
