As an American, I have no concept of pounds... he he. Great suggestions on minimal accessories!

@thatcameranerd Ай бұрын

I need to start doing $$$ from this day forth. I should really get some options for used kit in America too

Instead of the CF cards and reader, I would have opted for the Samsung T9 1Tb or 2Tb.

about 150 saving it's better to just buy new becaused the new ones are coverd for a year or 2 some have even 4

@thatcameranerd Ай бұрын

Definitely feels like that’s probably the way to go.

@draganmedo Ай бұрын

would be nice to advise lenses for this rig, budget, mid and perfect. Also maybe something for talking head day use etc

@thatcameranerd Ай бұрын

Thanks for the feedback. Maybe I need to make a video about this it seems like new lenses are springing up every day recently

My biggest question is what is the color bit depth from the Pyxis SDI connection? If it's 10bit or higher, what's to stop someone from using a monitor/recorder to get a ProRes Raw image other than it's just UHD? If you don't need more than UHD, is this a possible scenario?

@e.adeloye Ай бұрын

I respect the video but I don't think it's fair to talk about all these equipment in the terms presented. I don't think it's fair to call all the items lested minimum viability for the camera. In my opinion, you can get a workable camera for one battery, one SSD and an external monitor and all of that combined is going to be £400 extra max if for some reason someone doesn't already have an SSD. I think the general pressure on this camera isn't fair as cameras like the S52X (which I own) are not given a minimum viability setup even when in some ways, its more lacking than the Pixys

@thatcameranerd Ай бұрын

If you're planning to work professionally then 1 battery isn't enough. Not all locations will have the possibility to charge. You could go down the SSD route but not everyone has a SSD spare and I would still recommend having a spare in case you fill it or anything happens to it.

@e.adeloye Ай бұрын

@thatcameranerd don't get me wrong, in the context of truly professional working environments, I would even argue what was listed isn't enough but it is possible to do good work with not as much as was listed if you get what I mean. I was just thinking with the other hybrid camera, people don't often list these types of redundancy for viability.
