- The Sony Burano video from @geraldundone really got me thinking.

15:35 best explanation of the cinema camera market. 👌 earned a sub.
One of the reasons people love the Alexa is because its simple with less buttons, you have a six buttons and a scroll wheel, easiest camera to start using.
Oh my god CZcams keeps recommending your vids to me and they're all great 😮 And I am not even subscribed yet
❤❤❤ Sending Love & Good Vibes ❤❤❤
Definately not for the average filmmaker. the IR pollution doesn't seem to be an issue on my camera....I have been using it for weeks now with ND filters - some of the information mentioned on this video is totally incorrect from my experience. Built in Nd's and IbIs are amazing on this camera. It's the reason I won't buy the Venice but will buy the burano. High end Docos will use cameras like the burano, often handheld with Ibis and variable ND without changing iris. You need buttons to program for your own use or not assign them, they wont cause any disturbances if theyre not programmed. Auto focus is something most doco makers dont use as it will tend to ruin shots. The Burano works well for everything I want it to in my world and glad sony gave us a great gift! A smaller raw capable version would also be great. The highlight rolloff is similar to Alexa and heaps better than the fx3 on the highlights due to 16bit compressed raw recording. It's not until you use it that you realise how good it is as I'm also color grader and the Alexa is Definately the next step up. Never going back to black magic or fx6 unless I'm using a gimbal, and in most cases I'll probably use the Black magic pro 6k in raw. The Burano Doesn't overheat after using it all day in the sun and sometimes at 37 degrees Celsius. It's basically the only camera that uses ibis on pl lenses and has a nice hand held feel on the final shots for long form doco making, I've also used it hand held 8 hour a day. Many of the comments made here just have no basis in doco makimg, but I can understand indi filmmaking is different. It is a heavy price tag......but no regrets in my field. In Australia, as far as I know the cameras were placed on hold for a month before they were released because of an alleged recall, might have been an ir fix. Also note that full frame 4k with fast readout is coming in the next firmware. So Im pretty sure the model you have is an earlier firmware. I wont use the cam much is 8k due to a lack of 50p, but in 6k, ive seen some awesome results which were unattainable in the lighting conditions and formats on other sony cameras. I was really suprised by the lattitude and how far I can push the footage in post.
17:45 Wow, very well put!
I don't think he's selling himself short when he says 'what do I know, I'm just a youtber'. Yes he's being super humble ( we all know he's great at what he does and he's very knowledgeable about cameras), but it's a very important disclaimer for a lot people. Gerald is a full-time youtuber and that's very different from say a freelance filmmaker. Also he tends to nitpick on very small things and get annoyed by things that aren't really that important and can be worked around easily. Things that a lot of filmmakers wouldn't mind at all once they just gave it a try. When I started out watching his videos, I pretty much took everything he said as gospel because he sounds so knowledgeable about what he talks about, but once I came into contact with some of the things he would rip apart about cameras, rolling shutter, chromatic abberation, lenses not being all the way sharp, I realized that all of these things were really not that bad and barely noticeable to the most trained eye, let alone the average viewer. Auto focus and IBIS, that are amzaing in the cameras he uses, don't even matter if you prefer to use manual. Filmmakers are trying to tell stories (in whatever capacity they can) and Gerald is trying to break down every piece of gear to the nearest decimal point because those are the kind of in depth videos he likes to make. Many pieces of gear have huge caveats but also huge upsides (like price), and he acknowledges that, but some of the things that bother a youtber wouldn't matter to a filmmaker at all. He says countless times that he's never actually going to take any of this gear outside of his studio and actually make something with it. That's a huge reason to take what he says with a grain of salt and that's why the disclaimer is so important. At least to me. On the other hand, the kinds of videos he makes are great for cutting through the bullshit that these camera companies try to wrap around their cameras and justify the stupid prices. This Burano review is a great review of that. An average camera (compared to other cinema cameras) being sold for 25k as if it's some groundbreaking camera. That's what I love about Gerald's videos.
Sorry I haven't finished watching your video yet. You may say all of this by the time I'm done lmao
Overheating has always been a thing, since the first Canon 7D (at least for me). The difference is that before, the video functions were always an "add on" to a "photo first" camera, so it was not important...at least it worked for like 12 min!
Yes the Canon 7D was notorious for getting too hot but it was also kind of an accident that those early Canon Video DSLRs were as good as they were. Since then we’ve been spoiled with so many great cameras that don’t have these issues.
Cinealta team is horrible at designing camera for user experience imo. They should assign the alpha team to design all their "cinema" line.
Honestly I find both the Sony lines, Cine and Alpha, to be a chore to use. I cringe when I look at how they design and layout their UI/UX
Sony screwed up with this one.
These people want the camera to do just about everything, THE ONLY reason Sony Cameras are useful is their low light capability, a dream of the user that do not understand light nor can create any atmosphere visually. Obviously not being happy with so many features, they want more. I used to shoot 16mm, once we knew the ASA (set) the blocking of the scene (lens set), and the composition, we would spend time painting the set, now is 50 min of figuring out if the Sony Camera can wipe their asses. Not even the ARRIS are so whiny.
Different brains about the switches and buttons, if you don't understand then pass on the cam. Switches and buttons do less functions but are just what they are, specfic.
Exactly, I agree with some statements about making it overall more usable, things like if you're going to include autofocus and IBIS it should be on par with their more recent less that half the cost consumer cameras, but things like physical buttons are preferred by many camera operators because that button will always do what it's meant to do and will always be there under any use. It's quicker when you're familiar with the camera as its the same single press at the same place every time. IBIS is contentious anyway as IBIS can cause unnatural warping and artefacts and its often better to stabilise externally that won't cause warping. The argument that these cameras should be smaller, more streamlined being made by people who don't work in the field of work where they use these style of camera is rather redundant as they lack experience...
