Guess the camera!

So, I've got a fun little game for you guys. So much can be debated about different cameras, and it seems one of the biggest compliments a camera can receive from most indie folks is how "film-like" it is.

I thought it would be fun to play a little guessing game, then. I'm going to post a sequence that I shot with a particular HD camera. The only tweaking done to it is a shift in the midtones towards yellow, and a decrease in color to about 25% of the original saturation. EDIT: The little tweaking that I'm talking about there is in reference to footage on the timeline. In camera quite a bit of tweaking was done to get the "film" look about where I wanted.

So, what camera is it? :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

They sky just looks like A1 sky. I used to edit a lot of holiday home videos that were shot on the A1 and the stock wallpaper shot of the surrounding had *that* sky.
 
Doh! Sorry. :(

I guess I'm just too excitable. :2vrolijk_08:

I'm sure I'm not the only one who can contribute some footage for the game, though.

Interesting. I've shot with the FX1/Z1U and the A1, and not noticed too much of a difference on the sky. I just slap a circular polarizer on it and call it good. :)
 
I cant explain it, but the sky is deffinatly differnt. I used to own an FX1 an used it sdie by side with the A1 and the image is deffinatly differnt...
