Travelling dslr Videos

Well I'm all for "if it aint broke..." so if your happy with your current setup, vid wise, it would be a shame to replace it and spend more cash, but I have seen some great arguments as to its vid capabilities, and ofc more than capable of making amazing photo's. If you do get it would you consider making a little youtube review?

I'm considering it. I've been waiting for the release for a while. Still doing my research. I mainly use the Fuji for photos.

+Monty Craig awesome! It's still my primary camera for my personal work. It's not the fastest at focusing or writing images, but I love the image quality and the way it handles skin texture and tone. It's a winner for sure. I'm curious about the X-Pro2 that is supposedly slated to be announced this month.

+Tony Cece I am a new user to an X Pro1 too, I have been using it for about a month now, and just this week passed my Nikon gear off to my daughter for when she goes off to collage . Love this camera, and while I may add to it down the road, I think this will be one that stays around for a long time.

Hi Chris, I'm still using the same camera systems personally.  Typically for projects at work I use a Canon 5D Mk3 to do both video and photos.  I did sell the Nikon 50mm f/1.2 because I got a Fuji 56mm f/1.2 and I added a Fuji 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 zoom lens (mentioned in the video). I primarily use the Sony for personal video projects and the Fuji X-pro1 for photography.  I've looked at newer Fuji cameras and really like the XT1, but I'm holding out for an X-Pro2.  It's been a long wait, but I'm hoping they announce one this year.  I still love my X-Pro1 and hope they really improve on it for the next version. 

I'm going to try and clean them - I tried blowing off any dirt. I think that might be it, as I can feel a grit/grind when the lens turns on the contacts.  Possibly from dirt that was blowing in the air.

oh no!  I haven't had any problems with my Nikon adaptor for the 50mm.  Have you tried cleaning the contacts on the camera?

And...both the Sony and Fuji are fun to shoot with. 

I completely agree +Daniel Nienhuis.   I've eyed the Panasonic as well, but find the micro four thirds sensor lacking a bit for the look I want to achieve with my photographs.  It's great for video, but the smaller sensor handles optics differently - especially in the the f-stop range.  An f/1.4 on a full frame vs APSC vs M43 have different DOF.  I really notice it when I put the Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 on my 5D vs the Sony or Fuji.  Panasonic is definitely catering to the video crowd with their cameras and it is noticed.  I follow a lot of video guys that use the Panasonic GH series.  The nice thing about the Panasonic is that there are a lot of lenses available.I'm not quite sure why Sony didn't up the video to 4k in the A7 they just released?   I would go the Sony route, but they are behind in supplying native lenses.  They have a few E-mounts and now they have changed to full frame which means that there are even fewer lenses available to take advantage of the sensor unless you use adaptors and manual lenses.  But I agree that Canon and Nikon need to start taking the mirrorless move more seriously.  The Canon M didn't do very well and the new Nikon DF is large and overpriced.  I'd switch completely to Fuji if they would give me manual video controls.  I really like the X-Trans sensor.    

Nice post, Tony – I know that a lot of pros are moving in this direction and it's great to hear your perspective on things. I've personally been keeping my eye on Panasonic's (still unreleased) 4K Lumix GH4.  I know the GH2 and GH3 have been video favorites for a while and Panasonic seems to be really paying attention to the features that video shooters want (a decent codec, focus peaking, a headphone jack, etc.).  I still love my Canon to death (I'm on a 60D), but I'm starting to think that the next time I upgrade, I'll be making it my b-cam and using something mirrorless as my primary.  As Sony, Fuji, and Panasonic keep pushing mirrorless tech further, you have to wonder if Canon and Nikon will have to make some major changes to stay competitive.

Thanks! No it's the view from The Shard, the highest building in the EU. My main lens you guessed right, the Sigma 18 - 125, because it's very nice for travelling.

Thanks :-P

Adobe premier for the editing

Nice review, thanks.. I shoot with Sony as well but am about to switch to Canon. This bag looks like it'll be great for what I want it for, except for the monopod straps, they seem weak.i have a smaller case logic bag now where those straps are wide adjustable Velcro straps, I'll miss those if I get this. Anyway, very helpful video, thanks.

Thanks, I like using the old Minolta stuff...but I am either going to get newer lenses for the better lens coating, or leave Sony altogether due to lack of cooperation with Adobe software, and lenses (they discontinued many full frame lenses) and they seem to be in a lot of financial trouble as well (selling off their subsidiary companies)

I've been considering this back pack but I am unsure if it is deep enough for my 7D with the battery grip on it. I currently have the case logic CPL-108GY and find that it's too shallow. Any insight would be great sir! thank you. 

The side strap is pretty small and made to hold a monopod in place, you might be able to get away with strapping in a small tripod but it'll take some creative work to make it happen.

Good gear! you should seek for a minolta 70-210 F4 aka BeerCan it's absolutely amazing...

You can fit a 13" macbook in the back pocket. I have the same bag.

can you have 2 cameras, 4 lenses and a flash do in this case?

Is there any way to fix the trypod to the camera bag?

Good

What, what's a tour agency. Is that when you have translators by you. Or am i thinking of something else?

it looks like you visited so many places.

it looks like you visited so many places.

I'm not sure about the flight back. But at 0:18 you can see that it was Lufthansa, a German airline :)
