You mean the one you see in the video? The Helios 44-2 is what I used to shoot the video. The filter you seen in screen is the 1/8 black difussion filter by k&f

@@davebcn87 спасибо! А какой нужен переходник чтобы одеть фильтр на Helios

none, as soon as your filter is the appropriate diameter. helios is 49mm, as most of my sony lenses, so most of the filters I have work fine. You can also get a step up ring for bigger filters.

Camera and heater all in one 🤣

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for you comment Octavio.

@@davebcn87 Yeah, look, let me tell you about my experience. I have had a Canon 6D MII for 6 years, excellent for photos and video but it has become heavy. I have evolved as a content creator for social networks, you know, Facebook, Yt, IG, Tiktok, now I spend more time recording with an iPhone 14 pro Max than with my Fullframe, So now I have to get to the point of wondering. Does the content I make for my clients really require a full frame? At this point I have decided to switch to Sony and go for an APS-C for the reason you mention, mainly because of the cheaper lenses. So I advise everyone who can read me is that if your content is not for cinema, broadcasting or television, you do not need a full frame.

Nice! feel free to drop questions here when you get it.

@captainwyoutube What do you edit with?

You'll laugh at this - Serif Movieplus X6 - the final version from a company that went out of business in 2012. It's so user-friendly and fast. I've tried da vinci, openshot, shotcut and many more.

First time I hear about that software. 😅 I edited long time ago in Pinnacle Studio, I learned the basics on that one. If your software doesn't support LUTs I'd recommend using S-Cinetone, as the videos looks great out of the camera. You can also tweak the contrast and saturation manually but I think the results won't be as good, as it is more complicated to achive the same that the LUT already do for you.

Use S-Cintone instead. You will get nice colours out of box, which you can fine tune in edit. Also you can use in camera LUTs to bake these into video at recording time. But in general, you don’t need any LUT’s for s-log, you can grade it without any LUT’s. But S-Log is made for grading!!

You're right, might be that I use Exposure Comp when I use ISO auto and I mixed the two.

Yeah, but lenses are much more expensive and bigger so that's not a solution for everyone. APSC is still great and compact for most use cases.

​@@davebcn87 No, lenses are not more expensive or lighter _for comparable results_ such as F1.2 on APS-C vs F1.8 on full frame.

@@ferdinandbardamu3945 It's true in some cases, but a Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 is half the price of a Sony 20-70 f4. It's the most comparable lens that I could find. It also weighs 200 grams more than the Sigma. I realise the full-frame lens has a 3mm wider field of view, but there isn't something which is exactly the same. The extra 200 grams and cost make full frame a tough sell especially since the A7Cii already costs 58% more than the a6700. This is of course only my opinion as someone that doesn't use a camera professionally.

That's funny - David says he's very happy with the camera and you say "you don't wanna do that..."

Wasting money is buying full frame by someone who doesnt need it.

I wouldn't buy an 8-bit camera if you are thinking to keep this for a long time. Also ff lenses are much more expensive so take that in mind. if you think full frame I'd go for a7c II but that one costs more money than the a6700.

I think a6700 is better because it have lot of features than a7iii only downside is a6700 is a apsc sensor but its still great compared to a7iii

what flash problem?

Thanks! I still only shoot with V30 at 50/60 tops. If you want 120p you'll need the v90. If it's only occassional you can have a small v90 (64gb) and a big v30 (256gb) for the rest of the footage.

If it's only for vlogging I'd say it's not worth it. I will still use my VideoMicro 1 for travel, as it fits better in my backpack. Don't take me wrong, the GO II is fantastic and it has slightly better sound quality. Also, you don't need to put the input level as high as the VideoMicro so you get less noise. But overall the VideoMicro is a fantastic microphone and more than enough for that use case. What made me do the jump was the other use cases that I mention in the video and the ability of monitoring directly in the mic.

Thanks! Yeah, you are right that those things do not apply to everyone getting the camera, but I would have wanted somebody told me those things. If you have other question I'll be happy to help :)

Thanks for the quick reply! I understand your concerns. I am probably going to buy it but all these overheating reviews on TH-cam are really scaring me… I only would use 30p though not generally 60 or never 120. I need to shoot in 10 bit though but NOT h265. I only shoot in h264

@@Pfagnan Yes, I understand that as I wa having the same concerns before getting it. I watched every single durability test out there only the get even more worried. The thing is that some of those tests were done before the 1.01 firmware update. In my 5 months with the camera I've never had even an overheating warning. Most of the times I shoot in 25p but I also use 50/60p frequently. I also got the Ulanzi fan just in case but never had to use it so far.

Thanks Dave that’s good to know!! I do event filming though so this camera needs to record for an hour and a half usually not just 20 minutes at a time. 👍🏻

@@Pfagnan If that will be your main usage of it I would be considering the fx30 instead. I recorded for about 1h with no issue, but you may need this regularly and with reliability.

Thanks Lolo, really appreciate your comment. If you don't own any other lens is the best one to start with, for sure. After almost 7 years owning that lens I haven't found a replacement for that focal range that is worth for the price.

Hey! I cannot help you with that as I don't use any gimbal nowadays. I own one of the first Zhiyun Crane gimbals but I don't use it anymore.

DJI Ronin RS 2

Thanks your kind words. Let me try to answer the best I can your questions: > Does the HDMI black out during 4K recording? It depends. There is a setting that you can show the menus in the HDMI monitor. If that is ON you are going to get the screen black, even without recording. If this setting is OFF and the HDMI monitor sees a clean video image, you see the regular screen in the camera screen, both in stand by and record mode. > Does AF work if both HDMI and 4K are used? Yes!

Thanks very much for your detailed explanation, David. the A6700 certainly is a professional tool!

Thanks for all the tips Bruno, really appreciate it! I don't mind having to create the proxies afterwards, this way I can save some space in the SD card and some intense process in the camera that could lead to faster overheating. But yeah, in some cases this can save you some time in post-production. I wonder if 420 is worth it, as you might have not the best quality you can get. Have you seen any comparison between 422 and 420? HS 10 bit 422 is great with my mac, even with 50fps. The only downside is that in PAL I cannot record on 25p, it's only 50p or 100p. But I use that codec for slow-mo footage already. The ISO setting to the wheel is a great tip, I'll try that. I am now in the making of a SLOG3 exposure guide, I will use your input as well, really appreciate it.

@@davebcn87 The proxys are really small, in my usual workflow - unless it's a wedding - it's really hard to fill a 128GB card. Test it ;) The difference between 8bit and 10 bit is bigger than 420 VS 422. The usage of 422 is usually for green screens where you need extra information for chroma key. You can also test that and see if you can tell the difference. If you can't tell I bet your clients won't either, and you gain speed/performance in editing. This something Sony could improve, but you can record in 25fps HS if you are in NTSC mode...

I am working on a expose/grading tutorial, I'll see if I can include some original footage in there.

lol, that's quite accurate. "camera doesn't matter anymore, buy our gear"

@@davebcn87 They just took on all entry and mid-level video cameras with that promo. The iPhone 15 Pros will become the choice for a lot of new video creators or people looking for another camera. It is a real game-changer for me. I love my iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Glad it was helpful!

For that specific one V30 cards (at least the ones that I own and mention in the video) are enough. I just double checked in the camera.

happy to help!

No more complicated that any other Sony camera I'd say. You can still use other picture profiles like S-Cinetone that won't require any color correction.

Thanks! Yeah they did a really great camera at a competitive price. Love it as well.

Gracias por tu comentario Sergio!

oh no! did you get a replacement?

@@davebcn87No idea I can get a replacement. I will send it in for the company to check it hopefully saying it is under warranty. But day 5 that is tremendous.

Yeah that shouldn't be something that happens on day 5. Good luck and hope you get a replacement.

@@davebcn87thanks

Sorry to hear that. 8 month later, would you update us if you managed to repair your 6700?

Thanks Pat, really appreciate your comment!

Thanks! Whatever camera you choose is going to be a massive upgrade from the A6000. I shared a video with my reasons why I picked the A6700 and not the FX30, maybe that can help you with your decision.

Coming from the A6300 it stands out in almost every aspect. But for me, the most important features are the 10-bit color and the IBIS. Great looking image without having to carry a gimbal or a tripod all the time.

@@davebcn87 wow !! Really ? Comparing it with the Sony Zv E10 ? Massive ?

Haven't tried the Zv-e10 but was considering buying it for a while. IBIS was really important as most of my shooting is while travelling and handheld. I still think that the zv-e10 could be a great studio camera or one to use in a tripod.

Haven't tried the ZV-E10 but I'd say it's great quality for the price. For me 10-bit color and IBIS were a must to upgrade my a6300 and even of the issues that I mention in the video I'm very happy with the decision.

I have no idea, maybe someone else can help you!

Yes you can

You are right, most of the issues are because of the incompatibility, and will be the same with all the new cameras. I considered worth mentioning as it is still a pretty common setup - we are talking about a 3-year-old laptop - and this are things that I would've known before getting the camera.

haha yeah full frame is nice but 🤑

Yeah, I plan to do that!

Thanks mate! Love from Barcelona

Me from GB Pak, Should i buy this camera ?

This is good camera but in this price you have lot of full frame cameras options available ​@@arjumandvillagecooking

up to 240 fps

@@davebcn87 thanks 😊

Where can i find this in the settings ?

In my case I already owned these cards, but all adds up. You can have cards with more space for the same price or decide to spend that money in other stuff: batteries, filters, accessories...

haven't used it as a webcam but could be a use case to have the external fan. I think if I'd use it as a webcam I wouldn't need the 4k either, most of the video call software will compress the image and you wouldn't notice the difference. Unless you want it for live streaming a video.

​@davebcn87_ It's indeed true that many people will not care. Then again, that's true for so many things we are doing around film and photography. It's a form of flexing some muscles, though. 😅 PS: Since I'm lazy, I stopped using the A6700 as a webcam pretty fast for a different reason. I have to climb on my table every time I want to remove it to shoot pictures. So I ended up using my a5100 again via HDMI and proxy battery. I'm shooting now 1080p, automatically cropping in via my PC to get the right framing.

@@maggnet4829 yeah this cameras have that many features that ones use case might not be close to others'. Loved the principle of minimum effort there haha. But even with the 5100 your webcam will be better than 95% of webcams out there.

@@davebcn87 From my observation you can increase that number to 99%.

It is indeed a massive upgrade. Even all the things I mention in the video I consider it a great upgrade, maybe it does not get through the video. I don't know if I mention in this or the video I created about the a6700. I haven't yet seen comments saying that they would stay with the a6300. If that's the case I'll properly address it. About the base ISO of course you have the option to go to easier PPs, but I want to use it to have consistency across shots. I'm curious on what wouldn't you not use higher ISOs values if the result is good? Knowing its drawbacks: less dynamic range, more noise... Again, not an expert here, I just share my point of view as I am learning stuff and hope it helps someone. Thanks for taking the time to write this comment and I am not taking it harhsly, always open to other thoughts and points of view.

Actually that is not the problem. H264 files are the ones that are slow, and that's because of the 422 10-bit more than the video format.

I thought h265 is not a Format, it’s a codec?

I'd say whichever you chose the change will be massive. I have a video stating the reasons why I chose the A6700 and not the FX30, may be useful for you to decide.

Honestly you only need the FX30 if you need the fan/will have overheating issues due to longer recording times. If you are a vlogger or short film maker who records just segments at a time then the A6700's savings over the FX30 can get you some good anamorphic lenses.
