    Sony a7S III, but gonna add Sony a1 or another Sony to the mix. 2+ years and still no replacement to a7S III/FX3 especially 8.7ms sensor readout in 4K which only topped by the likes of Sony Venice 2 at 3.7ms, crucial for ultra macro and super telephoto filmmaking. There is no perfect camera for everyone, but Sony a1 is the most complete, thanks to Nikon Z9 for bottling it with no mechanical shutter for photography.

    Good video - I came from a C100 M2 so obviously a big improvement on many levels. Can't live without built in ND's! Because I came from super 35 sensor I wasn't expecting it to be a low-light champ but still respectable. I was already prepared for the crop factor. Decent autofocus with the firmware update. I personally don't like the build quality and the screen deserves the criticism it gets because it's critical to the camera. Most cine cams don't come with a EVF now, but I REALLY wish Canon at least had a option of a EVF - very hard to use outside. I'm currently using a DIY EVF that I made around a Portakeys monitor. The camera has met my expectation and for my documentary work it's great overall- good battery life too.

    Keep in mind you don't really need to be good at colour grading to take advantage of clog2. Just use colour management in Resolve and Resolve will normalize the footage from the log footage and you can just adjust exposure from there.

    I've seen very eye opening videos on WDR compared to the RAW and Clog formats. Wide DR is a really competent and worthy file. Coming from very well respected colorists. I've been using Clog3 a little bit because I shoot with C70's and R5c. They play together well.

    Hm, very interesting! I need to test that. I have been using log 2 first because of the DR but its much harder to grade. Log3 on the other side (coming from the R5 experience as a B cam) is much easier to work with and I usually get a more pleasing image.
