Does your method of recording change the quality or look of your footage at all, or is it the same?

How does it compare to the GH5 II and S5 IIX?

How do I mount an external monitor and the XLR adapter at the same time?

it came with the 12-35 lens! That is a great deal.

I am playing internet batman too!

hey Zach, open google translate, choose the camera option in the bottom right corner of where you enter the text (on the left side of the screen). It will then superimpose English over your camera's image

half of the shots are not in focus. The overhyped S5 ii is the worst

bro for the life of me i cannot find the song from 0:36 - 0:55 please someone help a brother out

For my taste the image is just too soft. It must be that codec you're talking about. The image style is fine, and several shots in your little trailer were nice, but ultimately I'm just a big fan of razor-sharp image or at least something with some film grain.

You should also know that eBay have implemented AI generated description and let just say I've seen more artificial than intelligence. For example, I found this cheap Andoer 50mm lens for Micro Four Thirds and the description is clearly AI generated, the seller incorrectly listed the mount as a T-Mount but clearly from the photos of its rear mounting cap, its an Micro Four Thirds lens. However its at a very low price and eBay have buyer's protection that there is really not much to lose here so I took the shot and it arrives just like the listing photos. If its a more expensive item, I would avoid it.

I still have my Panasonic PV-GS65, Canon Vixia HV40 and a Panasonic S-VHS AG-455 but haven’t used them in years!

I like the Sony HDR-XR520VE, I have three of them. They use hard drives so loads of record time. I will run all three cameras at the same time on tripods and sometimes GOPRO's and a Insta360 as well. I have a wireless mic on one (one of the Handycams). I then use DaVinci Resolve to do my edit with whatever footage looks best for the moment I'm editing. DaVinci Resolve syncs them up altogether really easily.

I grew up with one of those Sony camcorders, so many memories captured on it. I'm trying to borrow it from my grandma to make some fun footage

wait, but isn't the a7siii over $3k? yikes

AND while the S5II may work for some :) HERE my beef with the Panasonic S system as a filmer and photographer. So while the S series may work for you :) For me it has one >>MORTAL FLAW<<< and that >>MORTAL FLAW<< is that the S cameras do not allow to automatically adjust AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE when using MF or AF/S mode. They lock AE and so when you do a run and gun reportage video or photo your AE is locked to ONE VALUE as soon as you keep the shutter half pressed resulting in over and underexposed photos and footage :) However much I love everything about my S1/S1H/S5II in all practicality they are USELESS ( so have to go back to my Sony ) ... honestly I do not know how Panasonic can get away with such a glitch :) NOT A SINGLE REVIEWER HAS POINTED THIS OUT : D

If you already have a Atomos Ninja V for example you can always use a analog to HDMI converter and record using the Ninja V. This will ofc mean you have to also mount a converter and provide power to it but a converter is ofc much cheaper than buying a new dedicated recorder. Not as convenient but cheaper.

Why do you recommend to buy Hi8 instead of Mini DV?

Such a great video idea😄 next step - your own vhs aerobic course🔥 😄👍 but honestly that was cool.

Can someone explain to me how a film video camera captures an image without tape? Is there a digital sensor inside?

what to look for, for recording in dark/low light situations, ive seen these cameras used in Nightclubs

Best video

my only reccomendation is to not buy something that uses DV or any digital tape format unless you want to buy a rather expensive DV digital out capable recorder

Bro, you can adjust the autofocus speed in the menu. Set it to 5, and you will get a fast switch focus

Oh my god. There are people, people who are adults in this field who have never used tape. Jesus christ, im old as hell.

Wait so my canon hv20 that I paid $1000 dollars for new is now cool again?!

_Mega Zach Bro_ keeps taking it to *The Next Level!* 😅😎 Bless you, Mannnn..... 🙏🏾

i feel like digitally recording vhs cams is like using a vhs filter... for anyone that cares, i think if youre looking to do this film with tape and convert. that way you get all the vhs glitch/ scroll that comes with a sick analog medium

Thall

Wake up (nonexistent) babe, new Zachy May just dropped. Definitely something I am wanting to get into so thankful for the vid bro!

LETS GO

Did you pick this date because today was the first Sony handycam model release?

Haha, dude, this video was gold!

I miss my AF100. My first big camera purchase. The form factor was so appreciated in a world of DSLRs. Shot several docs on this puppy. It came out at the same time as the Sony F5 too. Made for a crazy “big sensor” year at CineGear. Sadly it was stolen out of my storage several years ago. But it still holds a special place in my heart.

What camera were you using at 1:17-1:22

This is quite interesting! As a fellow Photographer I have always gone for either the full on camera with RAW files + editing to get photos I care about and my phone for just documenting life, but smartphones are NEVER as good as a camera. But the idea of having a small, light camera to carry arround and take JPEGs just great photos directly out of your camera is AMAZING by doing this video you have given me a new way of living life without editing as much. (Which I really do not enjoy, I enjoy taking photos and the results after the editing but the editing part itself I really don't like.)

LOL I literally had this exact camera in my watchlist. I got another AF-100 and so glad I did. I'm loving mine too.

I still can't understand what took me so long.

You know what could've been a lot better? Recasting, rewriting, and even change som of the vibe. Chaddler Riggs should've been Spider-Man! The rest of the cast is okay. Except Goblin. He's racist and a pedo. Why not bring the actor who played Goblin in Marvel Knights Spider-Man to play Goblin again. And why not make the director/creator of Marvel Knights Spider-Man direct this film instead of a racist young man

Any reason for the mic on a straw on a takeaway cup? Oh, ha, ha! Ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Plug in a lav’ like a real videographer would you? Edit: great content; dumb presentation. I quit after 90 seconds.

My goal is to give my kids an old school experience. Meaning no smart tech only dedicated technology And computer and TV time only when the sun goes down. Got the flip phone and photo Film camera, and now I’m looking for the camcorder

Watched this after buying an a7IV and a7RV today 😂

No love for the Nikon d90? That was the O.G. before Canon. Lol.

Not trying to crash the party, but (I think) all of these custom settings need to be "lens-sensor specific" (I know that's a lot of work, but I did it for Panasonic...it's on my website.)😃

Really helpfull, thanks!

Brass dials.

Zf is beautiful 🥰

Today, you can get a GH5 for that much and get a much better image, 4k, 10bit, 4k60p uncropped etc.

You ever get down to the North GA area? Would love to go do some shoots with you!

Go RAW and never go back.

Don't buy into the Fuji fake scarcity to inflate prices and make it look like you have a Leica. Fuji cool before but not anymore. Fuji you will never be a Leica. Don't be an idiot and open ypur eyes.
