Nice colors. Truly nice colors! if that were Fuji they'd have a thing to boast about :)). I see some shadow dropoffs. I understand that it is the part of the style but how do you feel the flexibility of pulling up shadows in general?

I feel difference comparing a7c / a7iii footage the 4:2:2 really shines. Was able to push curves and fix footage when though shoot was too bright. Btw I’m colour blind so difficult for me to work with colours )))

Did you use any LUT? What color profile did you use? I am planning to buy a Sony a6700 with Sigma 18-50 and whant to know if I will be able to shoot nice family travel videos in good colours straigh out of the camera. I don't have much time for any color grading or anything. Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi, I did not use any LUT. Just neutral standard profile with reduced contrast then on post add corrections. I use k&f vario nd filter that may add some colour shift but not sure as I use same model filter on all my lenses. Im colour blind so trying to do not mess with colours as result could be unpredicted ) . In short this is great combo for travel videos. I own extra two full frames with primes 35/85 but this one combo enough for great videos!
