      I think you've proven that with your talent you can make just about any camera work for you, and I don't see this particular one as an improvement on what you already own. I also don't think having one will get you any extra client work (someone might recognize RED, Arri, Sony, etc), so the $5k or so could be spent on other, better things

      For the commercial use, he is using the ursa mini (which is not a ff cam).

      It’s very rare to see something like this on set, unless it’s for a crash cam. There’s a reason you always see Arri/Panavision/Red/Sony - they’re cameras with established working practices that fit into our on-set ecosystems and consistently deliver. I’ve shot night exteriors with the Alexa in 0 degree weather and then taken that same camera body minutes later to shoot next to a fire where it was over 100 degrees - with zero issues. That said, I don’t want to bash, cause this Z-Cam does look great!

      @@DastanZhumagulov This thread is relatively accurate but not 100% true. There are at least some of us who do filmmaking full time. I myself do commercials, product promos as well as DP for short films and currently working on two features. Potato Jet is a good example of what goes on. He talks about how he does client work still but you can't really show those sets or BTS because 1: you have to be focused on your work for the client and 2: usually you can't publish BTS footage from another brands set due to confidentiality. Yes its hard to juggle time for everything hence why when my commercial work is super busy I make less UA-cam videos and when its less I make more and post. So while a lot of "film" UA-camrs just do camera reviews and nothing more, its not everyone. I don't know Spencer personally but I believe he does indeed do indie films and other client projects not just UA-cam.

  • @noahyv
    @noahyv 4 роки тому +3

    Sounds like you raised the ISO to 800 to change the DR shadow/highlight range balance but that isn't how it works on the F6. It uses analog gain for every step except ISO2500, where it uses conversion gain (dual native ISO). The response curve stays the same. That means by raising the ISO to 800 you were just clipping 1stop of highlights, not bringing up the shadows 1stop. Unless I'm misunderstanding your meaning, it would have been better to push the ISO400 exposure in post by about a stop with a LUT or grade. Would have really helped to have a scene with more DR that pushed both cameras to their clipping point and required pushing the grade and seeing both how highlights and shadows break or not in comparison. It's unclear either of the cameras ever clipped in your test, so perhaps a cheaper camera with less DR like a BMPCC4k might have performed pretty similar too in that scenario of not pushing the DR too hard.

    The Amira was released in 2014. It may have been 10x more expensive at launch, but the premium price puts you 6 years ahead of the competition.

      I definitely agree that I think I'd pick the Arri in many scenarios if price wasn't a consideration. That said, this test was of him standing indoors, wearing all black, and with a bright window behind him. I definitely think it did well to show the latitude of both cameras and the Z Cam held up surprisingly well at keeping the info in the dark and bright parts of the scene. And the F6 having a dual native ISO would definitely help it to keep up or surpass in poorly lit environments.

Using the camera flat is a great baseline test but not always indicative of real world actual use. How does the codec stand up when a ND is used during image capture? How far can you push the image in post before it degrades and becomes unusable? I am someone who is very interested in the ZCAM family of cameras and would like to know if they can become tools of quality for the long run in most scenarios we encounter in production.

      File splitting is a feature... he just didn’t research the camera before he reviewed it. You set how long you want the max file length to be.

  • @KenFlanagan
    @KenFlanagan 4 роки тому

    Thanks you so much for your thoughts and test. Surprisingly similar but the Amira has likely a lot more going on in terms of image processing and in different scenarios that can make a difference maybe. The z cam was my dream camera but it’s lack of raw, 444 or alt 12 bit colour makes it hard to love. Great fun to shoot with though but once it gets rigged up it becomes a practical issue. Ports and power seem good but is it really a match for a pro camera with integrated hand grip and the ergonomics of a tested form factor. Maybe in the price range it’s king but you can get a lot of camera second hand for that kind of money. Pro res raw might be its saviour. Any thoughts on audio?? Sharpening, IR pollution etc?? There are so many cameras that in these kinds of tests look great via youtube but hard to analyse especially without access to the raw footage. When I have tested it I just couldn’t see the fidelity that something like the kinefinity Mavo LF has immediately with that full frame look. I would love to be convinced but still yet to see an image in the flesh that’s exciting. Thank you so much for the post. Best K

    I watched this on a 31" NEC color critical display and the level of detail in the ZCam over the Arri is unarguable (despite the focus being on his ears in the Arri shots) The Arri looks upscaled and suffers for it. I have no bias, I don't own either camera. Given the form factor and clear edge in detail, I'd prefer to shoot on the Zcam and I'm super surprised I'm saying that.

      I don’t think a 10 bit color camera can compete with a 16 bit color camera ad is Arri
      Resolution is less important than color in narrative filmmaking

      ​@@sixsoxsex1 Neither do I, but couple it with a Ninja V and I think the 12-bit ProRes RAW capture at up to 6K30 can definitely compete.

    The Z Cam is amazing! its funny that your shirt and beard are more black with the Arri which means you should be able to match them pretty easily. They both about the same, one has more black hair and the other had brown hair and that's the only stand out difference😂

    If money isn’t concerned I like the Amira more. Take a look at those reddish, contrasted skin tones on the Zcam in the first few comparisons. I really like the Amiras skin tones more, seem more natural and smoother. But for ten times the price it‘s not worth owning, if you aren’t a rental house :D

  • @billzidis2656

    I got a Zcam F6 but
    personally i found so many issues with the body not the image quality. I liked the idea of a square body but is difficult to use it on shoulder. Also the ports are located very close to the Sony type battery so if you do use them and not a V mount battery you will definitely break some cables.
    Overall great camera specwise but in real world I preferred the handling of my old Ursa G2 and that's why I returned it.
    I know,Ursas build quality is kinda plastic and bad but the ergonomics were waaaaaay better...
    Now the Canon C300ii and C500ii might look similar but they are not. Their body is way better.
    Unfortunately £17K is kinda too much,canon thought they selling an Alexa.
    Now the studio rented a Sony FX9 and so far is the best of all.
    Camera is not only image quality,they are so many different factors.

    Man, I really don't want full frame on a camera. It just looks cheap and nasty to me, but maybe it's just people shooting wide open just because. If I did that, i'd never get work again. M43 and super 35 are just so easy to work with. I mean, you can make ff work, but it takes more time and effort. What do you think? Is full frame something you need or want?

    in at least one of the shots the zcam is focused on the face and the arri is focused on the seam of your shirt running along the shoulder (with the face out of focus)... kinda important to focus on the same thing in a camera test man

    High lights look super gone and abrupt on the z cam. I’ve take an Alexa Mini and and Amira and pointed them at a white car in the direct sun on a bright day and still couldn’t clip. There is no competition when it comes to DR. The main downside to the z cam is the Ef mount. They need to put a mount on there that is easily adaptable to PL is they want this camera used professionally

      It has a swappable lens mount. EF, PL, MFT, and a future 3rd party E mount.

    I think the Alexa/Arri worship is getting out of control. Both this cam and Blackmagics look just as good (or better if you need/like the extra resolution) than the standard Alexa. I actually like the zcam allot better here due to the VistaVision look.
