u/SolMarch · 5 pointsr/M43

A full frame sensor does not guarantee good image quality, so the comparison is really based on how different cameras process the video.

The GH4's 4K recording uses 1:1 sample from the sensor, so image quality is very good with low aliasing or moire. Other cameras (especially ones with higher MP sensors) may process the video differently (e.g. pixel binning, etc.) which causes more noticeable aliasing, moire, and a loss of detail.

For example, the Canon 5D MKIII's HD output is noticeably softer than the GH4's (or GH3's, or GH2's, etc.) HD output, and the GH4's 4K IQ only widens that divide even further.

At the same time, the HD and 4K output of Sony's a7S II (another camera with a full-frame sensor) is quite good in comparison to the GH4's 4K output when downsampled to HD.

To monitor what you're recording. Sometimes, what the camera hears is not what you hear. Air conditioning noise, traffic noise, impedance hum from mismatched microphones - and a hundred other background noises can ruin your soundtrack. And you won't know it unless you're wearing headphones.

To quote the Videomaker article "[Sound Advice, Headphones for the Videographer] (http://www.videomaker.com/article/9149-sound-advice-headphones-for-the-videographer)", "Headphones are like credit cards - you should never leave home without them. However, many shooters do just that and then suffer the (often devastating) consequences later in the edit suite."

If I pay $1000 for a camera, it's going to have a headphone jack (e.g., [$929 for a GH3] (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&icep_item=191094671040&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg), or [$995 for a BMPCC] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CWLSHUK/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00CWLSHUK&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20)).

Sadly, Canon makes you pay [more than $3000 for a 5D Mark III] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007FGYZFI/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B007FGYZFI&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) before they give you a headphone jack.

Cheers,

It says on the video description:

>Filmed with Sony a7s and Canon 5D Mark III RAW

Amazon links: A7S Canon 5d III

Lenses can cost anywhere between $300-$3000 depending on the type. Cine lenses can be a bit cheaper than photography ones since they don't need fancy features like autofocus and image stabilisation. Most video guys prefer to do everything manually.

It's amazing what consumers and amateurs can afford these days as technology progresses!

u/Dani_Californication · 2 pointsr/nolangonewild

Love the use of polaroids from a real camera, not some lazy cheap digital camera

2999 Canon 5d iii

Look at what you can do, to absolutely demolish the IQ from the fuji:

$1,573.00 Canon 6D

$899 sigma 35 1.4

$894 sigma 85 1.4

Total: $3366.

These are top of the line lenses, better IQ than the L equivalents for the 35 and very close with the 85. These will destroy the IQ of the fuji, for basically the same price.

You get better IQ, better depth of field control, better light.

u/frostickle · 2 pointsr/photography

If you want to help out the photography subreddit, buy through amazon using these links:

Here is the Canon 5D Mark III Body + kit lens. $4,299.00

But a real killer wedding photography kit for someone with unlimited funds would be:

Canon 5D Mark III Body only. - $3,464.00

24-70mm f2.8 lens - $2,179.98

85mm f1.2 lens - $1,999.00

600EX Speedlite - $579.00 (Be sure to get a diffuser for it, and/or learn to bounce.)

Amazon gives us a % of the profit when people buy from these links, I plan to use the profits to fund prizes for photo competitions, and other projects to improve the /r/photography community.

I haven't been pushing the link very hard though, and so far we haven't actually gained much money at all lol.

Of course - if you can get a better deal from someone who isn't amazon, e.g. a local seller or adorama, keh, or if you want to buy used,
please buy from them.

You can re-sell the kit 24-105mm kit lens later if you wish. You probably wouldn't want to have the 24-105 AND the 24-70. The 24-70 covers the same sort of area, and is better in low light, and gives you better bokeh control. (That sharp-subject-with-a-soft-background look)

Some prefer the 70-200mm f2.8 over a 85mm prime lens... This might be easier to use, but if she learns to use the prime lens, her photos will be better.

Tip for buying canon cameras - buy a cheap broken one on ebay for less than $100, then ask canon to trade it in for credit towards a new Canon camera. It's their loyalty program or something. I'm not a canon shooter, so I'm unfamiliar with it.
***
Nikon is just as good as Canon. Pick whichever one your friends/family have, so you can share batteries, lenses, flash units etc. and they will be able to show you how to use the controls because they will be more familiar with their own system.

If you want the killer Nikon wedding kit, get a D4, 24-70 f2.8 and 85mm f1.4

Also, if anyone criticise you for buying thousands of dollars of gear for a beginner..... well, haters gonna hate. I'm sure a lot of people are jealous of your wife right now (myself included). But this is what happens when you pursue a career and earn money from something other than photography, and THEN get into photography.

It is much more comfortable to study something where you can get a job and earn money, then buy expensive cameras, than to study photography as an 18 year old in college, work part time, and spend 90% of your money buying a cheap camera!!!

u/Terrikly · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

This is a big step up from the Canon 30D that I have now. I would love to get the quality this little baby provides. I shoot more for fun but sometimes I get a wedding or portraits here and there to do.
I will not die if I don't have this. I might die if I ever got to have it though. Not sure the following link will work.

  1. The Canon EOS 5D Mark III 22.3 MP Full Frame CMOS with 1080p Full-HD Video Mode Digital SLR Camera (Body)


  2. Because I like to tell stories. I'd use this camera for professional photography and filmmaking purposes and someday I may even start a small production company!

  3. It really depends on my situation in life. Right now, it would be an enormous game-changer in terms of my professional needs and would give me an opportunity to compete with some of the bigger players in the market. In the future, my career situation may be different. If I never got this item, I'd be okay with that... but that's because I'm usually "ok" with my given circumstances at any given moment in time.

Used 5DIII with the 24-105 STM refurbished.


https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B007FGYZFI/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all

I recommend the Andorama listing, they're a solid seller with a good rep.


https://www.amazon.com/Canon-24-105mm-3-5-5-6-Certified-Refurbished/dp/B0178HMEN8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1510875997&sr=8-2&keywords=24-105+stm

Within your stated budget, if barely, and gets you into full frame. You could get a 6D, maybe try your luck on the Best Buy sale, but I'm not really a fan of the first gen 6D, Canon kneecapped it to protect the 5DIII.

If you can stretch your budget a little, grab a used 24-105 F4 L instead, or maybe wait until black Friday/cyber Monday and see if you can grab one on the cheap.

u/onepennytoomany · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

I can top that.

I have a Canon EOS 5D Mark III

A good tool for shopping on Amazon is Camel Camel Camel, which gives a breakdown for a products price history including lowest and highest price of that item.

Here it is for the Canon 5d MIII, which is at it's lowest price right now. It's a good buy if you are in the market for it.

u/HybridCamRev · 1 pointr/videography

I have the GH4 and for nightclub shooting you might want to consider a [$1498 (on sale) GH4 with a USA factory warranty] (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&icep_item=371273321808&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg) with a [$599 Canon EF Speed Booster] (http://www.adorama.com/MBSPEFM43BM1.html?KBID=66297).

That will cost you less than either the [$2499 5D Mark III] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007FGYZFI/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B007FGYZFI&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) or the [$2498 A7s] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JIWXTXG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00JIWXTXG&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) and will allow you to use all of of your Canon mount lenses with full autoiris and image stabilization - with the additional benefit that the Speed Booster will make them faster by one stop.

And the GH4 can record to full 4K 4096x2160 resolution straight out of the box - something the A7s cannot do.

Plus, the GH4's 96fps gives you a higher 1080p frame rate than the 5D Mark III's 30fps or the A7s' 60fps.

Here is what the GH4 can do with a Speed Booster and a T1.5 lens:

u/camopdude · 1 pointr/videography

It does full 1920x1080.

> 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) 30P (29.97), 25P, 24P (23.976)

> 1280 x 720 (HD) 60P (59.94), 50P

> 640 x 480 (VGA) 30P (29.97), 25P

u/raven12456 · 1 pointr/funny


Cameras and lenses. Its all insured, but it would still really suck.

u/CricketPinata · 1 pointr/Filmmakers

Here are some cameras i'm used or that i've worked with footage from that are in the "affordable" range I think. This is a decent cross-section I think of a lot of the DSLR and Camcorders out there.

It really depends on if you just want a really basic camcorder to just use as a learning platform (I would consider a used DVX or something if that's the case), or if it's something you want to try to use as a professional rig, and if so what do you want to do with it? Narrative work, documentaries, videography work?

Depending on what you're planning some cameras on this list will be good choices, some will be bad.

If you don't mind spending more, maybe think about the Panasonic AF100, or consider looking into the Black Magic: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/855879-REG/Blackmagic_Design_BMD_CINECAM26KEF_Cinema_Camera.html

Or maybe even a used Scarlet or something.

It's not like we're going from the 5D to the 1D...we're going from the 2008 model to the 2012 model of the same camera.

With the mere price difference b/n the two models you can practically buy yourself a 7D with that money.

You're supporting your argument by saying that the Ipad followed with a pricing structure that would match what I'm requesting, then you go on to say the iPad's pricing structure is irrelevant to the discussion.

I can plainly see I'm not exactly going up against a master of logic and will refrain from taxing your mental resources any further.
