    a6300 - slog2 vs slog3 - Does slog3 provide any benefit specifically on the a6300?

    From clips Ive seen (dont own the camera... yet), it doesnt appear that the slog3 implementation on the a6300 actually provides any more dynamic range than slog2. The shadows are a bit more lifted, but the highlights look like the hod the same amount of data. Can anyone confirm this?

    Grading s-gamut3

    I will be getting a Sony cam soon with s-gamut3 color. Ive read that you must use a LUT to properly convert the colors, but that you also must use the proper LUT. For instance, using the same LUT for shots with different exposure or white balance wont work properly. Is this really the case, or...

    a6300 news

    I had thought that we were going to hear news of the a6100/a7000 release earlier this month at the show, but that came and went. Any ideas on when the announcement might come?

    a6000/a5100 terrible in low/moderate light

    I feel like no one ever mentions how horribly the intense noise reduction on the a6000/a5100 affects the video quality. This and the compression just kill detail in moderate to low light, even at low iso. Try to lift the shadows and you get blotchy mush. You get these little blocks and artifacts...

    GH3 Dont try this at home (GH3 iso 12800)

    Wanted to see if it could be usable, and it can be.... kind of. (Whats up with the youtube preview?) GH3 iso 12800 in monochrome profile. Havent tried in a color profile, but I imagine it wouldnt be pretty. Uploaded at 1440p for best detail retention.

    Great condition Nikon 35mm f/1.4 AI for sale. Very little internal dust (just a couple little specks), no haze or fungus that I have seen. Very good housing condition, but shows a minimal amount of wear due to its age. Will post pics if a serious buyer requires, but we all know what they look...

    Lightroom Shadows and Highlights powergrade for Davinci Resolve

    Just finished a Lightroom Shadows and Highlights simulation powergrade. Of course, working with H.264 the results wont be nearly as good, but it helps especially in the shadows. -Adjust the OUTPUT GAIN slider in the key area for the SHADOWS and HIGHLIGHTS nodes to control the intensity...

    Clarity and Vibrance powergrade for Davinci Resolve

    I have created a Davinci Resolve powergrade that simulates Adobe Lightroom's "Clarity" and "Vibrance" effects. Its not perfect, but it is very close. Here's the first version, I will update the powergrade if I find a way to improve it. When you append the node graph, it gets a little sloppy, but...

    Is legal broadcast range required for everything?

    I've read that all tv broadcasts require the 16-235 video range, is that true? Do all hollywood films adhere to this as well? If so, how do they get such deep looking blacks? The broadcast range definitely makes things look nicer at times and can smooth things out, but the full range contrast...

    Youtube converts legal range video to full range?

    I just rendered a video to legal range (16-235) and uploaded it to youtube, but it looks like it converted it back to full range! Is there any way to avoid this? I know vimeo keeps the proper range settings, but it appears youtube does not... I assumed this is the only relevant forum area to...

    Libec TH-950dv - worth the price?

    This seems like a decent tripod for the price (~$250), even though there is no drag adjustment. It does have a rudimentary balance adjustment. The head seems pretty nice. Does anyone have experience with it...

    GH3 Vibrant Park

    My first attempt at sort of a "moody" vibe, shot at a local park. Im still new to filming and editing, and this was practice to get some creative juices flowing and also to improve my grading skills. Any feedback is appreciated.

    How/where to get music for a video?

    When making shorts/videos, what is the typical way of acquiring music to use? Do you always have to pay for a license? Do you find websites that have free music? I use freesound.org for audio clips, but there is little in the way of music there.
