New Professional Video Camera 2018

New OLED is an upgrade over my 2018 4k television. LG had a nice sale going on too!

This camera is perfect for professional photos and video.

This camera was the one I had been waiting for 3 years. It is a significantly bigger impact in video than the a7III that came out in 2018. 10bit SLOG3 at 120fps opens up a whole new mode of filming. Continuous AF is even more reliable. I'm so tempted to sell my a7iii and a6500 and pick up another a7S3. I canceled my pre-order of the Canon R5 once the Canon cripple hammer (fake overheating) started. I need a minimalist production ready equipment, not spec queen.

I bought the 881 for a research trip to New Zealand. After 5 weeks of using it I had tried most of it's features and found the camera to be amazing. For my run-and-gun style it was light weight and versatile, though I found the night time imagery very grainy and generally unusable without adequate lighting. It did, however, catch the images in almost total darkness outdoors - good for documentation but not so good for final video shows. The camera is difficult to hold still, compared to my Panasonic HVX 200, that weighed in at around 7 lbs with lens extension, because it is so light. It requires good technique and/or a tripod to get professional video out of it. I find I use my post-shoot stabilization filter in FCP7 a lot. The biggest issue was with my previous camera was the lack of an eye-piece for capturing fast moving subjects. I just couldn't see enough with just the screen, especially in strong daylight. My new camera, the HC-WXF991 has the essential view finder and I have had much less of a problem following and framing my subjects now. I also have an issue with the manual zoom location - can't reach it with my big hands, but the on-screen zoom is awesome. On all other scores, it is a remarkable camera. The video is beautifully sharp and the response to various lighting and atmospheric conditions is very good - capturing good color and exposure in most instances. I got my 35 hours of research video in New Zealand and am looking forward to using my new 991 in the near future for more of the same.
