Fet är ju inte alltid bra, kommer nog fortfarande spana på små videokameror också
Tog upp min Sony A7 idag för att ta den där bilden, fy fan va liten den är efter att man hållit i FS100an ett tag
Nu kanske jag var lite dryg där men efter att ha läst alla tusen jäkla inlägg från den där "experten" så gick det inte att vara tyst längre
Jag formulerade ett svar men har inte postat:
Why comparing post counts for being accurate? Steven Spielberg's camera team probably has no posts and I'm sure they know more than most of us. I rather spend my time filming to be better than telling others how to be come better by theory. A high post count means, by my words "More talking, less hockey".
Sharing knowledge is key but with practical experience - other than backyard footage in auto mode.
Clips with overexposure doesn't mean a bad shot. There are many circumstances where overexposures are inevitable thus leaving clipped areas. Today for example, I tried out 64GB Sandisc 45MB/s card in AX100 in order to confirm no dropped frames etc for a wedding shot tomorrow. The sky is cloudy and even to my hawk eyes I can't distinguish any details. Would this be a bad shot? An overexposure can be a bad shot as well as a 100% representation of current environment. But since the introduction of DSLRs back in 2003-2005 (EOS 300D f.ex) people always pointed out overexposures in order to turn a picture down. Like a trend that came and unfortunately stayed.
I for one is not fund of looking for any missed parts in a shot since I look at the actual interesting subject. My experience professionally in filming is 3000ft of 16mm, 2 commercials digitally and countless hours of private content. But it's not my profession. I'm a low-level (asm) programmer and network/unix engineer but with a huge interest in photography in both stills and motion pictures.
For me, grading is not to favour everyone else taste and to try and represent 100% accuracy. Grading is about creating the environment for the clip and bring a picture emotion in conjunction to lines of the talent. How would the movie "The ring" look in strong saturated colors? Blue/green creates horror etc.
What I'm trying to say is that the grading subject is a preference at an individual stage and people can argue for hours what's right and what's wrong. Nothing is wrong. It's an expression of what you saw or a creation of environment..
I have the FDR-AX100 and I would easily trade it for GH4, BMP4K or any other 4K camera which are better (I don't like sharpness - I like details, sharpness can be fixed in post anyhow). I bought it because I wanted one package with everything since I'm tired of travelling with bags full of lenses, ND, pols, sound, mics, anamorphic lenses and whatever stuff I might need. FDR-AX100 doesn't give me the perfect acquisition but as a compromise - it delivers perfectly.
