I just have way too much stuff, so trying to trim it back.
I am currently slaving away at the epic Digital Bolex review edit (EDIT: NOW DONE AND UP ON THIS SITE), and it’s getting there.
Was more than I have had to do on other Blackmagic cameras or any other camera…įour Thousand Giants from Philip Bloom on Vimeo. I had to do A LOT of work in post to bring it to life. I like what I got, when it wasn’t noisy but this experience with the camera was very dissapointing. Once the sun went down even my Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 couldn’t cope. I know they said “it’s not a low light camera”…now if a manufacturer says that you know that is the case and it really is. The edit was fine, upsetting though to see all that noise. I also did find that verticle pattern others have mentioned plus a real odditiy, a weird cross hatch pattern came up on one shot when I pushed it really hard in post. I did a few shots at ISO 800 on both days. When I went back for the last 10 minutes of light at sunset (I was working on another job so I couldn’t get there earlier) I had my Small HD DP-7 PRO OLED. NEVER AGAIN! So difficult to see what was going on I made the mistake on this trip of just using the back screen. Tripod was the Really Right Stuff one with the news FH-350 head. Also used were the Light Craft Workshop excellent Rapid ND Variable ND filters. I used the V-Lock battery system to keep it powered as it truly is hungry beyond belief. Not much fun The camera is not weatherproof so cover it up! The first trip there was MISERABLE weather, pouring with rain, dark. An epic location and a challange for the camera. Last week I shot with the camera for the first time properly outside in Northern Ireland at the Giant’s Causeway. Try before you buy, if you can.įor more on my ethics and details about my website sponsors and affiliate whose banners and products appear on this site and why I have them then please click here Never buy a camera based upon one person’s opinion. Please remember anything I ever say is opinion and NOT fact. I will continue to remain true to my ethics as long as I do any sort of camera review or offer any sort of opinion. I don’t care what badge is on it – as long as it’s good I am happy. For me a camera is simply a tool, and who makes that tool doesn’t matter. I have worked for many on the odd job, but that is all. Independence is also key, for the same reasons. It is impossible to remain impartial if you do. ETHICS: I have never been paid for a camera review by the manufacturer.
