The bigger sensor means lower readout speed so - a bunch of the video features perhaps not being there? What would make sense is the s9r. There's already the sigma fp-l as a proof of concept. And with ibis would be my perfect camera.

It’s a great image maker. Big note, it is more appropriate for capturing stills than the others you’ve listed and comes equipped with some really lovely color profiles. Flexibility. You can add and subtract as much sharpness for any of these profiles as you could with any camera. The issue with a lo

The Sigma FP has internal RAW recording since many updates ago, you just need high-speed SD cards (I'm actually shooting 12-bit internal RAW with some v60 cards and it works fine). Coming from a Magic Lantern 5D MKII, it feels like a nice upgrade to me. No more fighting with Magic Lantern randomly r

hmmm this sounds interesting:"you can export a lut of the raw color profile from davinci resolve and upload that to your video assist - just set a color space transform node to whatever color space and gamma your camera is set to in the camera raw panel for both input and output and then export that

Hi! I have just bought my second Sigma FP. Its a great camera. The first time, although I knew what I was buying, I tried to make It a versatile camera. And it is not such a thing. I immediately regreted. I also shoot fuji professionally for stills and video on a X-h2s. I didn't pretend to shoot wit

There are some options. It depends on your needs. For the native mount mainly Panasonic and Leica lenses. But you can even get IS with adapted EF-lenses. There can be FPs found for around 700-800$ locally. Check out the Sigma FP user groups on Facebook. The used prices have gone up since they discon

I use the sigma fp and Niyen A1 on my cinelifter, 30 FPS 180° shutter works without issues. Though for walking videos shutter has to be higher.

For shoting short clips like you described its best camera, there are many chanels on youtube which was shoted by fp (The Flow Owl, cozy movies etc) Card as lexar 1800/2000x must be enough to shot HD cDNG 12bit 50/60p (especially 10-15 sec). 512 gb is capable for 40-45 min of footage HD50p 12 bit or

Yes you're right, but I'm mainly talking about modern movies. I 100% agree that 2k is enough, but you just won't find a lot of modern cameras that can do this in Raw whilst still offering s35 or larger. Again, sigma fp or bmcc og are your best bets. Maybe bmpcc og as well. I think going 4k and downs

No, you don't need to spend big money on a camera. The reason cine cameras like ARRIs cost tens of thousands of dollars: Niche market They are a small portion of the budget of a big Hollywood film. They are usually rented, often the studio/production company renting out to themselves (tax write-off,
