Welcome to my channel! This channel produces content about videography, production and content creation. I share my own work that I produce for others, work I produce for myself and I share info on my videography journey.
Sounds like out of touch, gatekeeping to be honest. Tech in phone have made incredible advancements, have done things that we never thoughty would happen, and will only continue to get better. It won't and should not matter what device the camera is.
Phone cameras are terrible if you do any sort of editing or cropping of images. I sell professionally and I could never use a phone camera as i would lose alot of business and revenue if I did.
Bro why are cameras so expensive tho? Cameras do 1 thing. Phone is a multi function computer, amazing device and comparatively cheap. Im looking for a camera and its like i have to pay minimum $2k for entry level. Stupid
For the average photographer they may be on the same level or slightly the professional camera, but for the professional photographer and the person who examines photos well the difference is so big that there is not even room for the comparison, as if you were comparing an ordinary car to a Formula 1 racing car.
BS. a Phone Has already replaced cameras for 99% of people...and they ARE overall better when all things are considered! I shoot 90% of the stuff for my YT with a Phone instead of my camera due to the workflow being MILES ahead of a ''real'' camera.. Sure I can get slightly better Quality with my FX30 , but I will need to spend 2-3x more time to get the content Done & Dusted.
@@ronniesiyum6679 I used to Part own a Camera store up until a Few years ago and have tried out most cameras that exists ;) Can you Guess why I Used to To be in that business but I'm not in anymore?
I don't shoot video on a smartphone. Because it's very inconvenient to hold and control. It doesn't have acceptable stabilization, which also corrects my operator errors by holding "pitch" and "roll". A smartphone is more expensive. I don't like to constantly carry large smartphones. I have a QIN 3 Ultra, which is smaller than an iPhone 13 Mini. The QIN 3 Ultra doesn't have an ugly protruding camera. It has a perfectly smooth back cover. And it costs less than $200. I don't want to CONSTANTLY carry a huge brick with ugly protruding cameras. I don't like photos - a static picture doesn't evoke any emotions in me at all, it's like looking at a drawing or a diagram. For now, my favorite camera is the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, and I also discovered a new type - a flying action camera like the Hover Air X1. And both of these cameras are CHEAPER than a smartphone - a huge brick with ugly protruding cameras. At the same time, they provide very interesting results that are not available on smartphones.
How long do you get Android Updates and Security Patches for your Duoqin Qin 3 Ultra? For comparision: Because Apple is widely known for their very long support of older Hardware, it forced Samsung, Google and other manufacturers to garanty between two and seven years of updates and patches. The seven years are only for the High End smartphones (also called Flagship models).
I found it transformed me from a photographer that shot video to a story teller. I love it. The hybrid was a confused design, trying to be everybody's friend but not doing any of it with ease. Always a gotcha. Always a buried setting. Always some fight with a switch or a knob that didint make sense or had been changed. It made me shy. Worried because something would just go screwy. I have none of those issues with the BM6k and regularly film strangers in the street.
Agreed. From a technical standpoint, technology has made the differences marginal. Brands like Sony who strip features from their crop bodies (joysticks for AF) have more of an impact in deciding which camera is best for the individual. 3rd party lens selection and better crop sensors in Fuji bodies have made the transition easier. I've recently sold my GFX and Sony FF sensors to be content with Fuji APS-C bodies.
Thanks a lot for this one! It is very true that the APS-C vs FF debate tends to repeat the same story without really checking. Really glad to see your video with a much more balanced and informed view. Personally, I would go even one step further and claim (with evidence) that when people notice differences in DOF, noise, or dynamic range, it's mostly because of lens and f-number. There isn't any meaningful difference between modern FF and APS-c cameras, when using lenses that deliver the same amount of light to the sensor: same angle of view, same aperture diameter, and correct illumination circle (FF lens on FF camera; APS-c lens on APS-c camera). With that, anyone can use an online calculator to compare, for instance, a FF 80mm at f/4 with a canon APS-C 50mm at f/2.5. They both have an aperture diameter of 20mm, both have an angle of view of 30 degrees, and both have a DOF of 10 feet at a distance of 30 feet. Similar observations also apply to noise and dynamic range. Anyone who has both an APS-C and a FF camera can easily get the same exact images on both systems simply by applying the crop factor correction to both the focal length and the f-number (and use whatever ISO is needed for correct exposure). That said, lens selection is usually way better for FF than for APS-C. For some genres, it doesn't make much sense to use anything else than FF. just because of the available lenses.
i’ve shot on aps-c/super 35 my entire career. i have loved the sensor size and the lightweight compact sizes that comes with that smaller sensor. that being said, at the end of the day it is what you need for your project and the look you are going for. a lot of hollywood productions haven’t used large format because technology has not really gotten that far. as in, there are a lot of quirks that come with, let’s say an Arri LF. I think we are now getting to point where we are going to see that change. as tech develops and improves i think we’ll be seeing large format become much more normal and widely accepted. for now, follow your heart. choose what is best for your project and what you can afford. your story is key and sometimes a larger format helps tell that story better and sometimes it doesn’t. all love👍🏽
Those films had a lighting budget that is waaaaaaay more than what the full frame camera will cost you. The reason you should get full frame as a small filmmaker is because it makes your life way easier. just shoot with both and you will see how you will go for the full frame whenever is possible.
I can see where you’re coming from. Those movies definitely have large budgets but the vast majority of people that have cameras aren’t making films where they need to compensate with a ton of lights. Most videographers are working on weddings, corporate videos, music videos or the event capture space and these are all areas where you can use $300 lights to help in dark environments. And full frame isn’t always a guarantee of being better in lowlight. The Sony fx30 & BMPCC6K have a dual base iso and perform better than some full frame cameras.
@@dxgable very true, but full frame will still make it easier to shoot in those conditions. If you can’t afford it and you’re starting out go with the crop sensor and then move up, but thinking long term you’re better off investing in full frame camera + lenses
Agree, esp. when it comes to video production. Many of the people I see steadily arguing "FF or die" tend to be photographers who relish the shallow field and ISO performance for still images. It is technically harder to duplicate easily with smaller formats. Aside from the cinema-grade sensors in Arri, etc., most of the FF sensors OFTEN have better DR than their smaller counterparts. However, FF simply can't reproduce the deeper-DOF-to-light gathering ability of smaller sensors, esp. with dual native ISO. The quality of the creative BEHIND the camera matters most, and that person should choose the right tool for the job.
This is a great take! So many classic movies were shot on super 35 and when people talk about the "cinematic" look they are usually referring to movies shot with a crop sensor.
The ibis works really well with the 18-35. However, make sure you aren’t moving a lot at 18 mm. At that focal length, you’ll get a little wobble in the footage. But if you punch in to like 23mm the wobble will be gone
Thanks for the setup explanation. I have the same camera and several of the same components. I mount an Atomos Shinobi monitor on the top grip and power both the camera and monitor via a Dtap splitter. I also place my Samsung T5 ssd in the ssd holder built into the cage.
A couple of years ago I went from a Lumix G85 to a Pocket 4k. We're talking complete amateur thrown into a more professional workflow. I still have plenty to learn but man, I am LOVING the journey. I am forced to do things the right way and I love it. And right now there is someone selling a 6K G2 for $1300 on FB Marketplace. So, I am thinking about it. Which is what brought me to your video.
Same here bruh ! I want that r5c but couldn’t pass up the deal ! Plus everyone raves about Braw , plus getting Davinci Resolve I couldn’t pass up the deal . Have fun with ya new camera
Even to this day I still consider it a great production camera and I just picked up one not very long ago. Just did a rig build on mine and I am so happy with it. Like you said it does have some CONS but mostly PROS for me. Congratulations on the pickup and enjoy it and go shoot a lot! Check out my build if you'd like and I will stay tuned to your channel to see what you create with the 6KG2
I also got my black magic, I knew all the cons but still in the end everyone says it has the best image, colors, texture, so I'm going to try, a little worried about stabilizing it, but everything has its pros and cons , as I have a Fuji XT3 I will be able to divide it according to the work, but it would be so good if Black Magic solved the battery and memory card problem, I keep thinking about all the power it has in a small system, it would be incredible. I hope to get a better image over time, but I have to understand that I am still using photographic lenses.
Great to hear! I think the key to stabilizing is increasing your points of contact. I have a top and side handle and try to press it towards my midsection to prevent shaking. For the battery, I feel like they could definitely improve it but that would also probably increase the cost
I can't believe I just found this... Hey Kristin... U've really inspired me - I'm from Nigeria and we run a small live stream for my school's chapel services and special programs.. I don't get tired of showing u off to my team!!...❤❤❤❤
My favorite feature and why i went for it is the mini HDMI . all the other R cams have micro UGH. also switch from photo to video with one button *chefs kiss*
Hey thanks for sharing your story Kristin! I’m always excited to hear about how people got started with live video productions! And I love the way you lead and direct your camera team with so much positive energy and praise! Praying the Lord blesses you in 2023 with many blessings and increases for your faithfulness in using your talents for the Kingdom! 🤠👍🏻
