You did a good job with the split screen displaying the latitude of the sensor. I noticed that 3 up and 3 down was the range. That is to say +3 stops to -3 stops of exposure latitude. Back when I was exposing for 35mm film, I used to tell myself that I had 4 up and 3 down. Now that's as close to shooting film as I have seen in these new cameras! My interest is piqued...
Properly enlightening test process. I'm not a camera pro. I'm a music producer but I was interested in this camera ... Wish everyone used as colour scientific a test for the various other reviews I've seen on go pro's etc 😁👌❤️
I'm looking at the Z-Cam F6 as it claims to have the widest DR. But I shoot a LOT of content in low lighting situations, but with that, there are a lot of bright lights -- I shoot festivals. So, it needs to perform very well in very low light, but also handle those highlights very well too. I've heard a lot of bad things with the low light and noise issues, like getting lines
These test look amazing. Really interested in this cam. Any chance you can post a rolling shutter test at various resolutions and frame rates? The only clip I’ve seen to far looks really bad. Liked and subscribed.
Great couple of tests there. Great work. Really helpful. I like the feature set of this camera and it's great for the price. I love how you it encodes in h265. It really annoys me that other camera mfrs are still stuck with h264. Also great that it will stream video via ethernet. Great for using it as a top quality webcam or even digital TV.
Hi! Have you tried to do the "over/underexposed" test in ProRes 422HQ with external SSD? If so, are the results sensibly different? Thanks! It seems to be a pretty damn good camera yet in h265
Hey could I ask you to help. We shoot Walkthrough video for property. We used the GH4 in all our kits because of its amazing Auto ISO. Being able the flow from room to room I found (at the time) the GH4 was by far more organic going from dark inside to outside. Where as Canon Sony the change was such a quick ramp... How is the Z Cam when it comes to this Id love it if you could send me a (dropbox) a short clip walking from a darker room to the outside or even just a dark hallway to a bright bathroom.
Thanks for this video. A bit disappointed that you're only getting about 7 stops of usable DR. Can't wait your test of the S35 and FF versions - should be soon right? It was supposed to ship in Oct. Also, a video about the current state of ZRAW would be nice. It didn't seem ready for production use last I checked
Yeah they should be on there way soon we still haven't got shipping confirmation yet but it could be any day now. I think with ZRAW that will help with pulling more information out of the sensor. Sadly this one didn't have ZRAW so ill have to wait till I get the E2.
Hey, big request can you post some night shots with the 4k low noise profile? I am considering this camera and there is not much footage out there.Thank you.
Do you have any plans to upload some test footage in some other environments? I'm heavily considering this camera cause the price is so darn good, but there's not too much footage online and I'd love to see it in some varied environments. Midday outdoors, golden hour, interior scenes, etc.
It would be a good to show us how to correctly expose the zcam and +1 stops overexposure using Parade or Waveform. Also how to ETTR this cam. I know most of the info, but need to see how to do it with the zcam (e2 and e2c). Thanks
waiting for the full review please !! great video. how about this camera for my youtube channel ? i am planning to buy one ?? also i need best youttube and short film camera under 1100 usd. any suggestions please ? :)
This definitely fits the bill for under $1100 but you'd really want to build it out with a monitor and probably a cage so with that it will definitely be over your budget. The only thing for using it for youtube one thing I find super important is good AutoFocus which this just isn't that reliable.
I love ur tests! u r a master! Can u do the same tests for the e2 and the e2 s6 pls? I wanna see how they compare. If possible then the e2 f6 as well XD....since all of these have different sensors I wanna see how much dynamic recovery range (that's what I have named this XD) they can provide us with, and thus, is it worth upgrading to a higher model to get a higher range.
Thanks for reviewing the ZCam! Looking forward to more ZCam reviews! How does E2c h.265 compare to ProRes? Is it worth using a recorder for the E2c or just go with the E2? Thanks!
You bet! I have a few more videos coming out on this one then I'll be working on the new Zcams as well once we get them. quality wise its comparable for sure I would really have to test it side by side to see if there is a noticeable difference. Personally I would go right for the E2 because of the frame rate options and ZRAW
how did you get 4096x2160 on this camera the resolutions are Resolution & Frame Rate 3840 x 2160 @ 29.97 / 25 / 24 / 23.98 fps 2880 x 2880 @ 29.97 / 25 / 24 / 23.98 fps 1920 x 1080 @ 59.97 / 50 / 29.97 / 25 / 24 / 23.98 fps DCI 4K
I just got my z cam e2c I was just doing some tests and the footage looks very poor quality is there a way you can recommend some good settings thanks in advance
That often happens with digital cameras. For some it's just a change between natural ISOs (dual ISO feature on some cameras) while on others it's just the internal noise reduction kicking in.
@@lensprotogo No, it has been established that the T5 is not suitable. Sandisk Extreme SSD works fine, and is smaller and no more costly. Go to the E2 Facebook group for more info.
It’s amazing how much information is saved with an overexposed image!
wow the ability to recover details when over exposed is incredible. might just have swayed my decision, thanks for the helpful video!
The Blackmagic Pocket 6k did better at recovering highlights
The bmpcc 6k is waaay more expensive than the z cam tho especially this one
I love that your making more videos using a Zcam, more people should get to know more about Zcam

I'm impressed. It looks like it out performs the GH5.
The e2c has really needed a video like this! Good stuff. I'd love to see how you grade the zcam and some scopes. Very helpful
Thanks! The Grade was pretty easy I just used a Alexa LUT for my base grade and tweaked slightly from there.
@@lensprotogo which Alexa lut?
I’d like to know too!

You are welcome Alex!
SWEET! I've been looking into getting the E2C to replace my GH4.
Only thing you loose is some better frame rate options. The E2 would be the big step up from the GH4
@@lensprotogo And I'm looking to upgrade my GH3 lol. Seems like a sweet budget option. Highlight recovery is quite surprising.
@@lensprotogo But i only shoot 24 fps.
@@BlackWarriorLures Then this would be a great option.

Can you do a full review of this?
So when it says 11.5 stops of dynamic range, what that really means is 14.5 with a little extra work.
looks pretty soft the low noise profile has noise reduction added in camera
Great content i subscribe!

Hello this test are with the new 0.96 firmware? I thinkig buy this camera but I need to know the improvements in the last firmware, thanks!
Looking for a Z Cam e2c vs GH4 video comparison. Because their video quality should be close enough to compare or may be Z Cam e2c is slightly better.
Hey man, how well does the E2c match to E2?
Hello,
Don't you shoot w/ the Canon C200? If so how do you think the Zcam works as a B camera for the C200?
Thanks,
Were you able to record or are you going to test and record footage with ProRes via USB to SSD from the E2c to see the difference between it and h265?

will you recommend it over the gh5s? or the ursa mini g2?
I don’t understand, since this is a compressed format, how can you bring back the lost details?!

Really want to see the E2 F8 Compared with high end cameras.
Im almost positive we will be picking some up for rental, so I'll do some tests once they are in.

I just got my z cam e2c I was just doing some tests and the footage looks very poor quality is there a way you can recommend some good settings thanks in advance
What about the quality is poor?
You need to attach a lens to the e2c and your footage will improve significantly.
It magically cleared up at 8000 ISO while 6400 was unusable. 3:40
That often happens with digital cameras. For some it's just a change between natural ISOs (dual ISO feature on some cameras) while on others it's just the internal noise reduction kicking in.
Lens eos?
2 different lenses the Panasonic Lumix 12-35mm II and the Olympus 17mm f1.8
can I use SSD with E2C?
Yes, by USB-C.
