Sony A7s II & Hitting Things

[@MoysyTech]

the ISO 409,800 looks better than the ISO 6400 on my 60D :(

[@RYSEproductions]

True xD

[@CreatorofWhat]

without a doubt!

[@ShutterAuthority]

+Media Ninja Do these ISO scales work in the same way for us to make a fair comparison?

[@KellenHowe]

+Judah Clark the t3i has the same amount of noise as a 60d at any iso

[@jeremybeck5]

+Shutter Authority ISO stands for international standardization organization. so yes, ISO scales are all the same throughout the camera industry.

[@TaraArtsMovie]

First time I bought SONY A7S, I was shocked that there's almost NO NOISE even at 100.000 ISO. I made a video test for 80k ISO, called "RAPTOR ATTACK", NO NOISE AT ALL! XD The only lights I've been using was street light and my PHONE light XD

[@RogerOThornhill]

or rolling shutter... or actually review the 4k of a 4k camera, either the internal or external--and this on a semi professional site with lots of followers and even with advertising. if you don't have time or interest in reviewing a camera then dont--but don't just turn the thing on, wave it about with the wrong SD card then put a headline up in front of tens of thousands of people only to have them find out several minutes in that you didn't really bother to do the bare minimum.

[@madmarty2892]

Bryce Dearden cause it's not a super important feature for pros. It's great to have, but not a feature that you really need

Hi Film Riot, I just bought the hits and risers pack and it's AWESOME! It's exactly what I've been looking for and I recommend it to anyone, it really helps create the atmosphere for each scene for any genre. Thanks heaps Film Riot! :)

[@sauce8277]

I couldn't resist your Complete gun pack and fight pack for such a low price. All those sounds for such a low price was ABSOLUTELY a great investment. Grabbed some scores. And just to help out Triune, I picked up your UFO Yeah pack. Thanks Ryan and everyone who put all together.

[@TheNaruto007007]

Ryan! Thank you! just...thank you! never stop Film Riot

[@DonovanPresents]

Another thing you can do to your sound source to get the reverb sound, because some in-DAW reverbs are terrible, is play the source out a speaker in a room like a hallway or garage to get a more distant reverberation. Another thing with adding reverb is that it can bring your source noise lower in volume.

I love the delayed reaction of Josh saying '........you shut your mouth' near the end :P

[@JeffLafferty]

Whoa that ISO setting is unbelievable! Great video

[@StudioGoldsmith]

Almost threw my a7s to a wall when the a7sii was announced with internal 4K. This video cheered me up a bit. The a7sii internal 4K still loses to a7s 422 4K out of a recorder. Where I live, no companies are even interested in 4K for their promotions.

Also, comparingbnow with my a7s mark 1 and when doing the lens cap test, total black out to check for sensor noise, hmmmm... the a7s OG had less color shift above 51000 iso, while the mark 2 started early at 40,000 iso. Tehn its just total red pink magenta at 409000. While the a7s OG still was quite blue.... hm....

Can't wait for the sale, guys!

[@ClutchFirst]

That Sony A7s seems really efficient in low light. Thanks for the awesome vid.

[@iSOBigD]

+CLUTCH1ST It seems amazing in any light for video, but man, a 30 to 60 min battery life kills me. It pretty much makes using the LCD screen not doable or you'll have what, 10 min of video left if you also took pictures?

[@smileyranger]

+iSOBigD Just buy a ton of Wasabi Power batteries. They're small, cheap, and easy to change, and you can shove them in your pocket if you don't feel like carrying a bag of some sort. Plus they last as long as their name brand counterparts.

[@hunterbyron6843]

They make external power solutions for the a7s

[@knekolas]

So have they released an external recorder for the A7s yet to record 4K?

[@AlfonsoSalaverria]

Great low light image. How does the A7s2 do on aliasing and moire patterns?

[@ingaman]

So I am able to get a pretty good deal on the A7S II because of my job, but not the FS5. I was originally looking at the FS5 / to upgrade my gear back to a proper purpose-built camcorder. I started shooting on a DVX-100 back in the day, so when DSLRs took over I always felt like something was lacking in ergonomics and build-quality. However when it comes to image quality, do you think the FS5 has any advantages over the A7S or A7S II? Full frame and low light capabilities are pretty impressive and most people I've talked to have shot on 8 bit for years without a problem. Thoughts?

[@eftorq]

Thank you for adressing the A7s to A7sII comparison. I bought my A7s a month ago, knowing the A7sII will come, but it is too expensive for me. I don't regret my decision in any way amd it's good to hear you opinion on it. Thanks!

[@pyotrlye]

When to get hands on with an a7s 2 today and it's definitely worth upgradin from my nikon d7000

[@mesmarfilms]

how much is the writing 101 download, did not see it in the store? great videos !

[@DamianBartolacci]

This camera would be my next camera to get if not for the overheating issue. I do event videography and need my cameras rolling for long periods of time. If they could fix the overheating problem, this would be an amazing camera for me.

[@waynestudios]

Hey Ryan! In your opinion, which lenses would be best for the A7s II? Thank you so much for the videos! They were insanely helpful.

[@TheJaklans]

I have a Rhode shotgun mic but the camera I have dosnt have a port for it. is their a low budget solution that you would recommend for capturing that audio?

[@Watatashi23]

Dear Film Riot, So I have a question I really hope you can answer. I'm getting ready to graduate with a degree in Digital Film Making and I'm beginning to worry about finding a job. I live in a town with very little video production business but need an edge to find a job. What would you look for in someone that wanted to work for your company? Any tips? I'd also like to know more about how to put myself out there and make connections to do some free work so that I could start charging for said work. Thanks, A soon to be starving film grad haha

[@legendp2011]

reduced rolling, by how much though (to 5d mk3 lkevels? atleast gh4 4k levels). Would you be able to do a ROLLING SHUTTER comparison between the 5dmk 3, c100, a7s and a7s 2?

[@stevencampbell2018]

[@victorvalencia9842]

hey! will you be doing a review on the canon xc 10?

So everyone, considering everything(even price) Panasonic GH4 vs. Sony A7s II? Should I save up for the A7s II or take the GH4 and buy some extra lenses?

What camera do you always use to record?

[@AndrewPRoberts]

REVIEW THE LUMIX G7

[@AroPnut]

+Unidrw That'd be cool, IMO it is probably the best budget camera out right now. No more Canon Rebels.

[@minktronics]

+BallisticPeanut Personally I prefer the GH3 - sure, you don't get 4K, but the 1080p footage is still absolutely amazing and you also get a magnesium alloy weather sealed body.

[@AndrewPRoberts]

Sure, but you can get a G7 for under 500 bucks, so instead of getting one GH3, you could almost get two G7's.

[@minktronics]

Unidrw Nope, I bought a used GH3 for £299 whereas most G7s (new or used) are above £350.

[@SAndSPictures]

+Unidrw - I'm in the same situation you are. The Gh3 is $600 on B&H, and the G7 is $600 on B&H but you get a $100 gift card when you buy the G7 from there.

[@beauselwood4534]

You should do A7s external 4k vs A7sii internal 4k because with this both camerad would be around the same price but the external 4k on the A7s has a better codec

[@Taylorharrisonfilm]

Was there anything you didn't like about the A7SII?

I would love this camera if I shot a lot of videos. Right now I want a 7r2, but by the time I hav emoney I can get a7r3 lol. I'd like to get the a7s one day too.

[@WhisperingChocoTaco]

About reframing in post. Why did cameras go from 2k straight to 4k? Are there any cameras where I can get just a little over 1080p? I also don't understand why downscaling would make an image look better.

[@omgurheadsgone]

You mean why shooting in 4k would make it look better even after being rendered at 1080p? There is just more information to work with.

[@RDonnius]

If only they could dramatically improve the rolling shutter... It's the only aspect holding this camera back from replacing the cheaper production camcorders.

[@JRBEditor]

Ok but if you had the atomos shogun to shoot 4k with the a7s would they be more similar when it comes to 4k quality

[@JRBEditor]

I'm only asking cause I already have the a7s and I plan on buying the shogun for a film I'm working on to pull 4k

[@TheFollidioten]

Which should I get when I want to shoot 4k: the A7s with an Atomos Ninja Assassin or the A7s II which would handle 4k internally. Both would cost about the same for me.

[@andyuxd]

+Cynex Great question mate - I have the A7s + Ninja Assassin and having used it for a few months I am not upgrading just yet because I would still use the Assassin for every shoot over the internal 4k on the A7sII. Because as a touch screen monitor it is so, so good and the 4k Pro Res is gorgeous. The 120 fps at 1080p is the only thing that makes it really appealing for me, as 90% of my glass is Sony FE with stabilisation so I don't need the 5-axis stabilisaton...

[@prymeval]

+Cynex Well it depends, because if you need a larger screen to see all the detail in a scene go with the Atomos. If you need portability go with the A7s II.

[@TheFollidioten]

+Andy Davies But you can get 120fps at Full HD with the A7s and the Shogun, right?

[@TheFollidioten]

+Ajan Prabakar I guess the flexibility of a recorder is just too good to pass up for a bit of mobility. Espicially handheld shots with the A7s look wacky either way and with a rig I can put my Atomos on there in a few moments.

[@andyuxd]

No - the A7s cannot output a 120fps signal at full HD.

[@alancarrillo5059]

hey whats you're opinion on the sony A6000 for filmaking?

[@jadoon702]

Is the Sony A7s2 good to shoot in rain ?

[@LordVicK]

HITS AND RISERS!!!

[@IndieFrames]

Is it just me or does the a7sII have some sort of strange blue-ish discolouration in the highlights? The a7s looks pretty normal, but the higlights from the a7sII look kinda ugly to my eye.

[@paulojong7739]

Great go so on

[@dellzasaur]

Which lens do you recommend for the a7s ii? I am looking into more of a zoom lens since I already have a prime, but I am unsure about what is a good one to get!

[@13druid13]

It really depends on what you will be using it for. If you are needing to really zoom in a lot (sports, wildlife, etc.) I would say the 70-200f4. However, for a general all purpose lens the 24-70f4 is probably your best bet.

[@arrigalimedia]

Sony 28mm and Zeiss 55mm :D

[@christiantischer68]

If you had to choose between the two, for best overall video and stills quality, would you choose the 5D Mark III or A7s II? I'm looking for a new camera and was thinking about getting the 5D Mark III but then I saw the A7s and can't decide.

[@onenarrowdoor]

For both stills and video - a7rii For video - a7sii For stills - 5Dmk3

[@christiantischer68]

onenarrowdoor Have you actually used all three of those or are you just basing your opinion off of reviews you've read and such? I'm leaning toward the A7s II for it's low light capability and internal 4k video.

[@onenarrowdoor]

Christian Tischer No I haven't, but have researched them obsessively (thousands of hours) since each camera came out because I shall be parting with up to £10k in the Spring next year. I prefer test videos to reviews (unless it is Phil Bloom or Dave Dugdale) and prefer it if the person has used the camera for months in real world paid situations, rather than bigging a camera or lens up so that you click their link to B&H. I have been through the mill with every camera released since 2014 - GH4, A7s, NX1, Canons, Nikons, Blackmagic, A7r, A7rii etc. But like you, I am leaning towards the A7sii or A7s with monitor and rig, because video is 98% of what I will be using it for. Now watch Panasonic upset the nest again in Q2 next year with a much improved low light GH5 and Samsung produce a killer sensor for Nikon - the whole sorry double-minded shuffling on the fence will start all over again :)
