G80(G85) VS A6300

(1/3) > >>

smcbuki:
Hi,
I'd like to start doing stock footage and I have this dilemma...
So, G80/85 vs A6300. Which one is better and what are pros and cons for each one.
In my country, G80/85 with 12-60 lens is the same price as a6300 body - 900 euros and that happens to be my entire budget for camera body.
I have a nice collection of vintage lenses and several adapters for NEX and EOS.
Also, do you think I should start with 1080p until I purchase my new camera? I have NEX 5, Sony HX300 and Canon 100d/SL1. Canon 100d has Cinestyle flat profile and it's really good for video (with good light).
Are you recording in 4k or in 1080p? Are 4k videos good sellers or do you make them just for future proofing?
Thanks!

I'll talk a bit about 4k.

Does 4k sell much?

Not that much YET. HD still sells much more. But it gets more and more common and it's nice to give your footage a longer life. I mean, how many people would buy 720p footage today unless it's totally unique? No one.

Many times filming in 4k can also save footage. If you miss focus a little bit it can still look good enough downsized to HD.

Also, if you need to stabilize, you will still get a nice sharp HD clip from your 4k original.

You can also be flexible in post with reframing etc. This is very useful if you needed a 70 mm lens for example, but you only had a 35 mm. Zoom in 200% in post and deliver a nice HD clip from the 4k original.

I would go and look at both theses cameras.  I think the G80/85 would be nicer to use for video but others might disagree.  I doubt there's much between them technically and it's really down to a personal preference.
