What's ol girl's @? And was that @terrywarfield ?

what font do you use?

Amazing content and format man! Thank you for all this info. Super helpful!

when is it coming? July 2024 still no word.

My setup is an a7iv and an fx30. Both great.

at halfway thru the video I've noticed much if not most footage so far demonstrating 120 or 240 FPS even though varying in content was quite similar as being recorded in slightly different grayscale type settings/backgrounds. Cinematic yes, and impressive too, but repetitious. I've done ample footage in vivid bold color in 120 and with little skill or practice there's a special "pop" because of the vibrancy. I don't know why the general consensus is that _cinematic_ footage needs to aspire to replicate Raging Bull or The Godfather. Neither Martin Scorsese nor Francis Ford Coppola invented cinematic footage. Not criticizing this video, *it's fine,* and the part about learning which frame rates are suitable for what is highly important, and yes, after watching the remainder of the video, if was cautioned about the downsides of excessive/overuse, _absolutely correctly explained..._

LUMIX is heading in the right direction, but I would really like to see their take of an entry level vlogging camera with good autofocus. Something like g9ii with smaller form factor and price under 1k. It also feels like the next right step is a full frame gh7 that is a true video beast.

Can do setting for POC on canon m50?

Commenting to stay on Kofi RUclips

Hey Kofi, thank God i found your channel! Your videos are very helpful! Would you recommend the Angelbird card reader for the cfexpress cards from Angelbird aswell or any other card reader? Thank you!

I appreciate the tips. Here is a different take: instead of trying to hustle and get jobs every month to infinity, focus on trying to become the in-house talent at a large company. You get paid every month no matter what, you often get benefits, and you can still take on a few side jobs here and there.

i agree that most regular clients won't notice a difference in quality. It's more for the creator/producer making the project. 5-10 years ago we didn't care much about raw. We had great ideas and we went to work, clients were happy and kept creating. I simply don't believe the hype anymore.

Very helpful, especially when you turned the lights off to show the ambient lighting and then added them back one at a time. Thanks!

thank you very much, it's in the cart!

is that 45' on either side of the face or specifically the right side of the face?

I'm a small YT creator and also a photographer/hobbyist. I think you passed over one very significant event in 2023/2024 at the lower end. I shoot my video on a Nikon Z6 I (the OG) and although the Z6 III looks really exciting, I don't need it for my studio talking head shoots. But I got really excited about the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and just caved in and bought one. Wish I done so 6 months ago. This camera is taking the general purpose vlogging and content creator market by storm. For a good reason - like you, I just never could get into using my iPhone as a casual video camera. It just never felt "right" in my hands, even with FilmicPro and now BlackMagic Camera App that makes it prosumer/pro usable. I also think the rigging and build-outs by some iPhone shooter fans just doesn't make sense. The whole point of using an iPhone is a quick grab-and-shoot video camera when I don't want to lug around my mirrorless or any bigger rig. The DJI Pocket 3 is perfect for that. Set it and forget it configuration and rapid turn it on and start recording with no muss, no fuss. Best thing, as you say, doesn't eat up my iPhone battery, my iPhone is still available as a phone, notepad, or even a bigger camera monitor (via DJI Mimo app connection), and the 1 inch sensor on the Pocket 3 is a huge improvement over the sensor in all smartphones. I think the Pocket 3 is a technological breakthrough that flips the iphone-versus-dedicated-use-camera away from the iPhone (if you ever had the flip pocket camera before smartphone cameras were a thing you'll get the pun!) iPhones and Pocket cameras will evolve, and the race might change again, but looking as the massive adoption (invasion?) of the DJI into creator, vlogging, and general use you can see this s is not just another body or camera in the ever increasing pace of new gear coming out.

I really appreciate this man! Not that it made my decision for me but there’s some great examples and comparison here.

something tells me the a7s4 wont continue the lowlight lineage anymore , which would be kinda sad , since the z6iii is basically the a7s4's beta testing

L U M I X is about to sky rocket !!! Catching and passing some of these other brands is slight work lol. Lumix GANG !!! And Fuji + Canon + BMPCC.

VO actors are getting replaced. AI gets better with more data. Using this feature will lead to it getting better over time. Not a knock against you for showing off the beginning of the end.

I think what we should also talk about is the current economic state of the world. Cameras and this media industry are becoming way more accessible than before while still giving high quality products. An entrepreneur can now create their own marketing material without relying on a contractor or hired professional.

H&’nnnn no mm

why the fuck give us an app with false color... but not false color in camera?

Saweet

Love how chill you make these vids. It’s like hanging out with a buddy👊🙌

what adapter did you use for it to fit the sony? thanks!

Very insightful video. To be honest right now I want camara companies to prioritize open gate and internal RAW (at the same time). The flexibility for Open Gate is so useful for clients in the social media space. My wish is that the Sony FX3 II has open gate 6k 60fps internal RAW.

I have the fx3 and a7siii , they are so versatile for shooting Real estate which is what I do ... for social media purposes the a7siii takes amazing photos as well ...

Well done, Kofi. I now have two S5iiX's, bought for open gate, fan cooling, hour long continuous recording in the sun on hot days. I'm loving the reliability, detail, cropping freedom, and color grading flexibility of the 6k full frame 420 10 bit files compared to what I used to use, which was either micro sensor camcorders or m43 photo-centric bodies with a record time limit and no fan.

I don’t understand how it’s 2024 and “video professionals” still say things like “well if you want a wider shot, micro 4/3 has a 2x crop so it won’t work”. What?! Do people not understand theres lenses for micro 4/3 that give you a 12mm full frame equivalent?!?

So am watching this video in 2024 June 30 and I want to ask please does anyone know if the fx6 now has 10bits when recording 1080p or other lower res cos am seriously considering get the fx3 instead

Hi! Thanks for the video man. I recently saw your video about the Lumix GH7 and I may ask you a question on which camera, in your honest opinion, gives you a better over all image quality? GH7 or the Sony a6700 ? In image quality I mean. Better dynamic range, low light performance, detail rendering etc.. I don't shoot RAW I just want the best out of 10bit 422 option like 24p and 60p that's all I need. Would very appreciate your honest opinion because I preordered the GH7 and I might cancel the order for a Sony A6700 or FX30 instead. Thank you in advance for your answer. Oh and I forgot to mention the Autofocus is also very very important for me. 😊

Awesome dive in to the current state of camera releases!!! Any word on when you'll get hands-on the Pyxis?

Something that I really got over was lower T stop numbers. Anything lower than 2.5 your background is distractingly blurry. And for a lot of scenes 4 and higher are going to show off your scenery or production design a lot more. I just watched Percy Jackson on Disney yesterday and man do they want to show off those T stops at the expense of everything else. But I do want 8K, and I think 12K on medium format is the next step. Even if you are oversampling down to 4K you're getting a much clearer image, and by oversampling you're getting natural noise reduction without the side effects internal processing has. Arri says in their Signature Prime video they have 8K and above in mind so even they see see the benefit of higher resolutions. I personally am looking to upgrade from my S5 not to anything new, but to a Sony Alpha 1 and using it with a Ninja V to record 4.3K raw so it bypasses the internal noise reduction.

Why are you not uploading in 1440p or 4k?

What I want: 1. Dynamic Range. 2. Low light capability. 3. Rigging ability. I use the Canon R6 OG and it's just lackluster in DR, color and rigging (micro HDMI SUIUUUCKS). When the FX3ii drops, I'm getting a used FX3 because the price will drop.

I m glad i am not the only one with a messy desk :)

very insight full. Thank you. I think like all business, they are just after our $$$$. JMO

Great video, Kofi! Excited to see what all these camera companies do next!

Your audio is getting off whenever you lean a little 🤏🏾 bit back. Just a little 🤏🏾 observation..

It's great seeing all these new cameras at different price points being dropped. Despite the complaints that seem to surface with each new camera, the fact that we have more choices, and more affordable choices, is a win in and of itself. Regarding the criticisms of these cameras, I find similarities with film critics. Often times, film critics will attack a movie simply because they don't like how the story is told. As if there is only one way to tell any one story. They ignore what the filmmakers were trying to achieve. The same happens with cameras. People complain about features they say are "missing" from a new camera. Ignoring the price of the camera compared to other cameras with the feature. The Blackmagic PYXIS comes to mind. People complained about it not having internal ND's while ignoring the fact that it was 1/3 the cost of its nearest competitor, the Red Komodo X. Anyway, we can talk about the good and the bad of cameras and their reviews. In the end, it comes down to your case needs. Some people just need a ZV-1 for their RUclips videos. Others are more serious filmmakers who want more out of their cameras. Which means higher costs for the additional features. Thanks for the Sunday drop, Kofi. I always look forward to your content. Cheers.

Nice video, I may not agree that we don’t need raw but I agree with everything else.

You’re literally living up to your surname, love from Tamale Ghana.🎉❤

first view

Great Tutorial and Footgae Brother! . I mainly shoot Glamour Models and purchased the rs4 recently to go with my canon r6 ii.. its definitely an upgrade from the Moza I had.

wouldn''t just buying the Mofaje mount swap ring deal with the no ND issue?

Booklight that shiiiiii <3
