    Not really interested in Sony, but the style to test a camera like this is perfect👌🏻 Because that’s how many people use a camera. Outside in the field, vlogging, capturing B-Roll, handle back ground noise and trying to get some great shots. Very enjoyable to watch a review in this way ☺️ But the IBIS is quite jittery when walking fast. I know it’s not a gimbal, but I don’t know why Panasonic can handle it and other brands can’t 😅
    Just from the image I still prefer the look from any fuji body, but the 20-70 F4 is an interesting lens and the Sony microphone working on the hotshoe is great. I already broke my microphone input on my XS10 and although other than that the camera was completely functional for me as a vlogger it was useless and I had to repair it. Hope fuji is doing something in this direction with the microphone. Or already did, don’t know the current state.

    • @pascalbasel
      @pascalbasel  3 місяці тому +1

      Yeah, it's also more fun to review like that.
      I'm not sure about the IBIS. It's quite shaky when I vlog, but also had shots where filmed other stuff where I was pretty impressed. Don't want to use active or so due to the crops...
      A mic like that would be great for Fuji. But I think their hotshot is not suitable for that yet unfortunately. I'm very excited for all the Viltrox releases this year, want to see if they bring the Sony closer to what I got with Fuji.

  • @motionblurgamer
    @motionblurgamer 2 місяці тому

    The main reason I want global shutter is not because of skewed vertical lines with horizontal movement, but because of flickering lights. I think your low light shots would look worse with a rolling shutter because you probably have a lot of different lights with different flicker rates. Global shutter doesn’t eliminate light flicker, but it does make the flicker look a lot prettier and more consistent.

    • @pascalbasel
      @pascalbasel  2 місяці тому

      True, would be even better to eliminate it completely, but with slow motion that wasn't possible.

    Always love your videos, just need to encourage you to get into the HDR world. UA-cam now deals with it far better as does Vimeo and iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, TV screens can deal with HDR. I would warmly, with your skills, to try it, you won’t go back and you don’t need to worry about those videos not being played properly on UA-cam because it knows the device being used and will show the right type of video for the device. Just my humble observation and request.

      That's kinda the point of this channel. Expensive gear doesn't make your videos look much better, it's more other things like having everything in one body, better bodies, screens, rolling shutter etc. that make cameras worth more. When it comes to the look, lenses, light & color grading is what really makes it shine. Even that's not that hard: Viltrox prime lenses for cheap, lighting is basically two rules outside (watch my last video) and for color you have FilmConvert, my LUTs ;-), Look Designer by Colorlab & Resolve.

  • @biswajit07
    @biswajit07 3 місяці тому

    More than the camera, it's about the lens that you're using, the shots, the angles, the framing, the lighting & the color grading. And to kill all of these, you need skill which Pascal definitely has.

  • @angryrabbitproductions1690
    @angryrabbitproductions1690 3 місяці тому +1

    Great video… I really liked your footage. Good for you! Can’t say that the Fujifilm does everything the A9III does… unless the quality of results is not factored in.
    Having owned both, and having compared both side by side, I can share that from my testing the Fujifilm XH2S did nothing better than the A9III. However the Sony did many things better than the Fujifilm:
    • AF: Sony - just the best I’ve ever seen… better than my Canon R3. Fujifilm - do I need to?
    • IBIS: Sony, with Dynamic Active - contender for the best currently available. XH2S - It has IBIS?… that I would use for video, that is?
    • 1080p: Sony - excellent oversampled 1080p… cleans up organically in post if noise is present. XH2S - there’s a reason no one shoots in this mode… even though the1080p is oversampled. Nothing organic/filmic about the noise in 1080p.
    • Exposure latitude: Sony - same as a Red V-Raptor. XH2S - Edged out from the top spot for mirrorless
    I could go on. But the point is, if someone compares these two side by side. They will quickly realize there is actually a justification for why the Sony cost 2.5x more.
    With that said… they are both great cameras… I only recently sold the XH2S… after testing side by side with the Sony ;-)

    • @pascalbasel
      @pascalbasel  3 місяці тому

      Thanks for listing the advantages as I couldn't compare them next to each other.
      Over the past few months with the Fuji, I found the AF pretty reliable. The main downside is noticeable stepping on larger focus transitions (stronger or weaker depending on the lens, but always present). Certainly not Sony reliable but it didn't hold me back at all.
      I don't use active stab but, you're right, that makes it a lot smoother. Same for 1080P, I never use it ;-)

    • @pascalbasel
      @pascalbasel  3 місяці тому +1

      That's only true if your scene requires less or the same dynamic range as your camera gives you at the desired signal to noise ratio. Lowering the ISO below base gives less dynamic range but also less noise. So to maximize the potential of your camera, you always want to shoot at base ISO. I'm assuming you're shooting log. In non-log profiles with less dynamic range, you're right as the dynamic range is limited by the profile and not the ISO. Gerald shows that very well: ua-cam.com/video/rLG_zlshlSA/v-deo.html

The Sony lens mounting system is just too small to allow for good IBIS. While the dynamic range and frame rates on this are outstanding, the shaking while walking is not good. I love my Panasonic S5ii because I never even have to think about stabilization.
