    as far as sharpness goes, the 120 1080p is a bit better in crop mode too. Still it would be nice if sony included 4k120 in the a7IV even with 3x crop.

    I'm seeing this video on my 4k TV (49") and there is substantial amount of difference in sharpness between 1080p and 2160p. FX30 is way sharper than A74. Distance between TV and me is 10ft+.

      The 1080p had so much more moire too. The FX30 is surprisingly good despite the crop and noise in 4k120, if there's enough light.

      The a7iv in 1080p is much sharper when you put it in apsc mode. I think there is some sort of lineskipping in full frame.

    My take away from comparisons of these two cameras is if you can afford it, get them both. With the two of these in your kit, there isn’t much you can’t do! I own both of them and when I’m on a shoot, if I can think of a shot I want, one of them will get it done! The FX30 has a definite film look to it and the a7iv compliments the video features perfectly. These two can do it all. My a7iv does the heavy lifting for photos, and is the B cam to the 30’s video. The FX30 does the lifting for the video side with the good variety of lenses I’ve bought for it. I run Sigma lenses for both cameras, with a couple specialty cinema lenses for some specific shots. In the future I will add another FX30 to my kit because there have been times I’ve needed 3 cameras on set.

      I’m curious what the fx30 does that the A7iv can’t (minus 4k 120 and no overheating). I ask because I have an A7iv and am considering the fx30 for a b cam. I can’t see why I’d choose the fx30 as my A cam over the IV as if get better low light and DOF with full frame sensor

  • @AllThingsFilm1
    @AllThingsFilm1 Рік тому +5

    I heard that the FX30 shoots in 4.6K when filming in 4K 60fps. Personally, I didn't see a whole lot of difference in image quality between the two ISO settings. I think there's too much whining about these issues. When you consider that actual film stock has grain that is just as noticeable as noise from digital cameras, you wonder why people complain. You can remove the chroma noise in post in seconds with DaVinci Resolve with little to no hit to your rendering times.
    People seem to want quality footage without having to do any work. As someone who has worked on 40 feature films as VFX artist, I find this "issue" to be a sign of laziness and not a valid complaint at all. These kind of videos seemed destined to pop up every year any time a new camera comes out. It seems unrealistic to expect every new camera to do everything for you with little effort on your part except setting the aperture and ISO. Considering the work I've done as a visual effects artist, hearing these complaints makes me wonder why people bother. If all you want to do is spin a couple dials on your camera and call it a day, maybe filmmaking isn't in your future.

    The zebras don't turn off when you go into those lower ISOs. The clipping point gets lower because you're losing latitude in the highlights. If you set a custom zebra to lower limit, the clipping point at ISO 800 should be 99+. At ISO 400, the new clipping point is 97+, and at ISO 200, it's 93+

      Good point. I own three Sony bodies including an a7iv and zv e10; I use the latter a lot because it’s so portable and, even though it’s not nearly as advanced as the fx30, it gives very nice apsc sensor results (ex here: World Bardo 132
      ua-cam.com/video/J9MilNRSWFM/v-deo.html ).
      Nevertheless, I find the full frame sensor really generates beautiful results, and when I use the a7iv (that is, when I’m not walking around all day), find that even the 1080p footage it produces very pleasing.

    You explained it yourself, there are two very different imaging scales between the two cameras with the same lens due to the cropfactor 1.5 sensor size + 1.6 of the APS-C-100p sensor scan. Your attempt to be fair didn't quite succeed, because at 3:52 your friend's head size was imaged about 20% larger at 4k-100-APS-C than at 1080p.
    With my IPad and data rate, I see both test shots in 1080p.
    At APS-C 2:08 there was more depth of field, more parts of the face between the eyeball and nose were sharp. This subjectively gives a sharper overall impression of the image, to avoid this you would have to stop down the aperture on the A7IV 1.4 x 1.5 = to 2.1 x 1.6 = 3.36 = about 3.5 and set the APS-C to 1.4 to account for the overall crop factor of 2.4, then the impression of sharpness and the S/N would be fair to evaluate at the same image size and speed, correct? Please correct me if my calculation is wrong. It would have been nice to have all shooting data like distance between object, eyes and image plane superimposed on the image. The lens has a distance scale, what is the formula for the distance setting so that when displayed full frame on the screen, your friend's videotaped face is exactly the same size at 4k-100 APS-C format-filling as it is on the A7IV in HD 1080p?

    No such thing as depth of field with super 35. It’s just because you had a 24mm lens vs The compression of a 50mm
    Even tho it’s super 35 the crop still doesn’t makes up for the compression.
    Because a 24 mm compression is not a 50 mm compression it’s like using a APSC mode on my A7rv. The reason why I wouldn’t get shallow depth of field. It’s not because of APSC it’s because of the compression of my lens.
