Hi! Im gonna shoot a short musicvideo in early august and looking for an appropriate camera for the job. Its gonna be finished in 1080p for web. I can rent good kits with either the Sony F5 or Red Epic for around the same price. We need around 200fps for some smoke grenades and running in...

Could someone with an HD recorder like atomos or blackmagic try to output 4K to the recorder and see wheter the recorder downsample the output to a better 4:2:2 recording? Also, check if highlight alaising is still present and wheter rolling shutter seems the same as HD. This would be a lovely...

A quick grade in Speedgrade and some sharpening: I think the image grades well and can take a nudge of sharpening without problem. The 60p clip is worse with alaising and not as sharp but that is to be expected. The DR seems to be amazing with this profile and the shots are indeed...

Not sure how this will end up but in these two shots the first one is a flatter profile (portrait with contrast dialed down) and the other one is a more punchy one, ISO is 800 on a manual 50mm 1.4 nikon lens. They way noise and compression play together is a bit problematic. Luckily the bitrate...

This is great! They are starting to kick ass over there :) http://nikonhacker.com/ It seems it will come to D800 since they have access to that body and it shares stuff with the older nikons. They D5300 etc. is not mentioned yet.

This looks bleak... http://nikonrumors.com/2014/02/05/additional-nikon-d4s-details.aspx/#comments Seems nikon is not really heading into video (pro-oriented) territory, but nothings set in stone.

Hello! Im currently trying to set up a one man documentary rig with as good audio possibilites as I can. Im not very experienced with sound recording so I have a few considerations that I would be very happy if someone could chime in on. I use an Zoom H6 and an Rode Videomic, recording both...

This could be interesting! If it gives the same video as d5300 it will be the best value DSLR i have seen, might even sell my D800E..

Hello! Im just curious about what settings you dial in when working with the D800, now that its been out for quite a while. I have been shooting a lot of unpredictable documentary footage and found out the hard way what did not work in some cases. Since it is a limited 8-bit file you get it can...

On my D800E they are not clipping at 100%, assuming the histogram in live-view is working correctly. All the other profiles are clipping at 100% though. Also noticing that flaat 10 clips earlier than flaat 11.

Hi, Im filming an event in october where the customer wants to have a projector streaming a chef slaugthering a sheep (dont ask me why!) in realtime. Its all local so the chef will be in the same room but not visible to all. Any tips on doimg this wireless or not and how to get it stable...

Hey, Im currently working on a short documentary shot with the D800 on the internal codec. I have limited experience and are trying to learn a proper workflow to get the best results possible while still being effective in a one-man environment. To do this I have decided to go with trying to...

Adding to the thread title; How is the monitor on the Ninja 2 performing? Price is also relevant. Thanks

Hello! Im just about to sell my D600 and planning to buy the D800 instead. Before i order one, I would love to hear some honest, up-to-date opinions from people who are using it. There is not much info on exactly how well the Mosaic filter performs, and especially in combination with a Ninja or...

Hello! Right now im using mostly new, expensive G-lenses vid VR with my D600. I have the following lenses: 16-35mm f4G VR 105mm f2.8G VR 50mm f1.8G I find that the VR seems really helpful as soon as you are trying to be mobile. The downside seems to be that the focusspan is really short...

Hello, I bought a d600 a few months back and have been learning the hard way about DSLR workflow. Now that im beyond the most obvious things to avoid when shooting with the d600 (no dx, 720p or cranking up the sharpness), i have started to experiment a bit more with the picture controls. Before...
