I just need consistency and an efficient workflow.
I find myself sitting at the PC correcting more than I am producing.
Yes more hot pixels throughout time and MLV app even though I mapped the pixels, still show up for some reason. They become very prominent the heavier I color grade.
I left it rendering and it crashes within 1-2 clips sometimes immediately. There was one pass I did where it rendered all the videos but they were literally no where to be found.
I just upgraded to Ryzen 9 hardware and am overclocked with 3200MHz 32GB DDR4 Ram.
Honestly it’s a tough choice for me, but I just realized I’m not producing enough money for crazy gear.
I can’t be buying multiple memory cards for small projects.
I love the RAW workflow and it’s flexibility. The sharpness, dynamic range, and fidelity is unmatched.
But I need an image I can drag and drop into the timeline.
I need solid consistent 60FPS Because sports. And I need the autofocus, which is still a give or take because I’m very good at focusing manually.
I can’t use crop mode because I need a wide field of view to get into the action for my work now.
This client is very low maintenance but I also don’t want to fail him so the job I have now entails me to have a solid camera.
I need better low light performance as well. 7D caps at 1600 and the 6400 ISO sets a new floor for noise and is virtually less then 1600, I can’t also sit there denoising all my work. Every time.
Unless I can figure out a way to get my 7D to work well with 10bit 60fps raw and no crashing , I need to stick to a camera that provides a good image and just works.
Another huge advantage with the 80d is that I can stop and start recording instantly as well and I will always get the same image.
If I need long term recording, my 7D won’t produce the same image shooting normal MOV vs RAW which will eat up all my cards.
