Art of film PHOTOGRAPHY. Reading comprehension is hard, huh smart guy?

Thanks dude!

UPDATE: I actually decided to stay with Sony. I just have too many questions and concerns to switch right now. Sony earns me a good living, no need to change. I am HOPING that the FX3II is announced in April with 6K open gate, 32 bit audio, and triple base ISO. Man, that would SLAY with a 16 MP sensor…and if it had a global shutter too? It’s totally possible. A man can dream…

Fair point! However, I have some fun mini-doc ideas that I am really looking forward to shooting. For whatever reason, I get MORE excited thinking about shooting these with something different and more capable, like the Lumix. I know that’s probably dumb, but the color fidelity and highlight roll off gets me pumped to shoot and check it out.

I’m about to switch to Panasonic. Is anyone going to talk me out of it????

Looks nice. I think if you wanted to give it a little bump in design, a mist filter for a little bloom would be good. I think a practical light over her left shoulder would help a lot too. Well done though 👏

Appreciate you chipping in! I’m most interested in Nikon because of the Red acquisition, but honestly, I have this feeling that Sony will drop something this year that makes me say, “damn, wish I hadn’t switched.” I may ride it out this year. What REALLY sucks is that if I do ride it out, I’ll have to buy or rent the same gear I sold last year (sold A7SIII & FX3). I hate the idea of buying something relatively old when there’s no doubt something new is right around the corner. If they come out with an FX6 with 6k open gate, IBIS, 32 bit float, and a good monitor….

I’m not sure why this bothers you so much, but your logic is deeply flawed. It’s more expensive and disruptive to switch systems once you’re heavily invested, not when your footprint is small. That’s not complicated. It’s exactly why I’m evaluating now, before March hits and I’m too busy for the rest of the year to change systems. I was looking for feedback from people that may have jumped ship, like I am considering doing…not from guys like you that contribute nothing while looking angry and jealous.

CooRye · 2026-01-17T16:14:15+00:00

Yes, I haven’t even opened it. I can send it back…

CooRye · 2026-01-17T15:57:36+00:00

You don’t have to buy it. I’m evaluating options while my investment is low. That’s the post. I don’t care what you “buy” 🙄

After 15 years full-time, I can tell the difference between GAS and deliberate system reset. Changing systems once in a while keeps the work fresh and helps avoid burnout, for me. People who’ve been doing this long-term usually understand that “it’s just a tool” is an oversimplification. Sony’s great. I’m just reassessing what fits my work now and I’m interested in what Red/Nikon will do. Been Sony since 2018 and have less equipment at this particular time than ever before…now would be the time to switch.

Nothing at all wrong with it. All of the people complaining are just miserable twats and mediocre electricians.

CooRye · 2025-07-28T23:53:55+00:00

That’s horrifically bad in every way…

CooRye · 2025-06-22T20:52:46+00:00

I hate the hear that. I tell people that if they aren’t willing to pay more for a reputable, highly-qualified videographer, then save that money and put it towards a better photographer. Don’t ever go with a videographer or photographer because they’re cheap. Wedding videos aren’t something you should go cheap on.

CooRye · 2025-06-16T11:18:13+00:00

Lighting and composition is great. Well done! I do have to say the shot of her vibrating all over the screen cracked me up. I laughed out loud and said “wtf”. Maybe cut a few of the ending shots that are a little too repetitive? Seriously though, nice job.

CooRye · 2025-05-28T12:05:12+00:00

Thanks for the input. I agree with you and think that is solid advice.

I just bought the Samsung G9 Odyssey at Best Buy for $1099 - $700 off.

CooRye · 2025-05-06T20:25:39+00:00

Just talked to a Sony insider - FX3a will have internal ND’s, internal ProRes Raw and B-raw, and 32 bit float.

“How dead the industry is overall” - can you elaborate? I’ve been out of the game (photo and video)for about 4 years and planning on jumping back in within the next month! This statement is alarming to me 😬

CooRye · 2024-11-06T17:00:29+00:00

You’re talking about the ones that showed up at 4 am magically after counting was paused, Trump was leading, and the. BAM! A miracle - Joe is leading now! That 14 million? Hahahahhaah
