***I ended up converting the 6k raw footage to prores 422hq just because the other file types were crazy. It made a 4gb clip a 275gb clip on first export. Either way the image looked great and was sharper than the Arri due to the 6k.

I think you've proven that with your talent you can make just about any camera work for you, and I don't see this particular one as an improvement on what you already own. I also don't think having one will get you any extra client work (someone might recognize RED, Arri, Sony, etc), so the $5k or so could be spent on other, better things

It’s very rare to see something like this on set, unless it’s for a crash cam. There’s a reason you always see Arri/Panavision/Red/Sony - they’re cameras with established working practices that fit into our on-set ecosystems and consistently deliver. I’ve shot night exteriors with the Alexa in 0 degree weather and then taken that same camera body minutes later to shoot next to a fire where it was over 100 degrees - with zero issues. That said, I don’t want to bash, cause this Z-Cam does look great!

@@DastanZhumagulov This thread is relatively accurate but not 100% true. There are at least some of us who do filmmaking full time. I myself do commercials, product promos as well as DP for short films and currently working on two features. Potato Jet is a good example of what goes on. He talks about how he does client work still but you can't really show those sets or BTS because 1: you have to be focused on your work for the client and 2: usually you can't publish BTS footage from another brands set due to confidentiality. Yes its hard to juggle time for everything hence why when my commercial work is super busy I make less KZbin videos and when its less I make more and post. So while a lot of "film" KZbinrs just do camera reviews and nothing more, its not everyone. I don't know Spencer personally but I believe he does indeed do indie films and other client projects not just KZbin.

Sounds like you raised the ISO to 800 to change the DR shadow/highlight range balance but that isn't how it works on the F6. It uses analog gain for every step except ISO2500, where it uses conversion gain (dual native ISO). The response curve stays the same. That means by raising the ISO to 800 you were just clipping 1stop of highlights, not bringing up the shadows 1stop. Unless I'm misunderstanding your meaning, it would have been better to push the ISO400 exposure in post by about a stop with a LUT or grade. Would have really helped to have a scene with more DR that pushed both cameras to their clipping point and required pushing the grade and seeing both how highlights and shadows break or not in comparison. It's unclear either of the cameras ever clipped in your test, so perhaps a cheaper camera with less DR like a BMPCC4k might have performed pretty similar too in that scenario of not pushing the DR too hard.

I'm not surprised that they look similar under ideal conditions, but I'd be curious to see how they compare when over/under exposed. My bets are still on the Arri.

I definitely agree that I think I'd pick the Arri in many scenarios if price wasn't a consideration. That said, this test was of him standing indoors, wearing all black, and with a bright window behind him. I definitely think it did well to show the latitude of both cameras and the Z Cam held up surprisingly well at keeping the info in the dark and bright parts of the scene. And the F6 having a dual native ISO would definitely help it to keep up or surpass in poorly lit environments.

I got a Zcam F6 but personally i found so many issues with the body not the image quality. I liked the idea of a square body but is difficult to use it on shoulder. Also the ports are located very close to the Sony type battery so if you do use them and not a V mount battery you will definitely break some cables. Overall great camera specwise but in real world I preferred the handling of my old Ursa G2 and that's why I returned it. I know,Ursas build quality is kinda plastic and bad but the ergonomics were waaaaaay better... Now the Canon C300ii and C500ii might look similar but they are not. Their body is way better. Unfortunately £17K is kinda too much,canon thought they selling an Alexa. Now the studio rented a Sony FX9 and so far is the best of all. Camera is not only image quality,they are so many different factors.

It would be great to see how this camera performed on skin tones using universally used filters like the promist series. Using the camera flat is a great baseline test but not always indicative of real world actual use. How does the codec stand up when a ND is used during image capture? How far can you push the image in post before it degrades and becomes unusable? I am someone who is very interested in the ZCAM family of cameras and would like to know if they can become tools of quality for the long run in most scenarios we encounter in production.

Thanks you so much for your thoughts and test. Surprisingly similar but the Amira has likely a lot more going on in terms of image processing and in different scenarios that can make a difference maybe. The z cam was my dream camera but it’s lack of raw, 444 or alt 12 bit colour makes it hard to love. Great fun to shoot with though but once it gets rigged up it becomes a practical issue. Ports and power seem good but is it really a match for a pro camera with integrated hand grip and the ergonomics of a tested form factor. Maybe in the price range it’s king but you can get a lot of camera second hand for that kind of money. Pro res raw might be its saviour. Any thoughts on audio?? Sharpening, IR pollution etc?? There are so many cameras that in these kinds of tests look great via youtube but hard to analyse especially without access to the raw footage. When I have tested it I just couldn’t see the fidelity that something like the kinefinity Mavo LF has immediately with that full frame look. I would love to be convinced but still yet to see an image in the flesh that’s exciting. Thank you so much for the post. Best K

Great video, Thx. QQ - You have the Ursa Mini 4.6k or 4.6k pro right? ie. not the G2..? Do you think G2 would fare any better against the Z Cam?

How did you convert the 6k raw footage to prores 422hq please? Second question : did you use the ninja V or the shogun 7 for the captation with the Zcam? Thank you :)

High lights look super gone and abrupt on the z cam. I’ve take an Alexa Mini and and Amira and pointed them at a white car in the direct sun on a bright day and still couldn’t clip. There is no competition when it comes to DR. The main downside to the z cam is the Ef mount. They need to put a mount on there that is easily adaptable to PL is they want this camera used professionally

It has a swappable lens mount. EF, PL, MFT, and a future 3rd party E mount.

in at least one of the shots the zcam is focused on the face and the arri is focused on the seam of your shirt running along the shoulder (with the face out of focus)... kinda important to focus on the same thing in a camera test man

At 8:08 I was struck by how much more three dimensional the Amira footage looked - is it the sensor or ist ist the different lensing due to the S35 sensor?

File splitting is a feature... he just didn’t research the camera before he reviewed it. You set how long you want the max file length to be. Power loss wise, it creates a temp file which can be repaired using ZCams software. His video was extremely bad IMO, full of stupid “issues” and user error.

If only ZCAM marketed this "full frame/VistaVision" sensor as "Large Format" like Alexa LF or Mavo LF, it probably would have had more hype alongside all of the other Full Frame 35mm sensors as named above. Lol. Truth.
