No no this is not an R5 review 😂 I wish... but this ones pretty great too
Peter just reviewed the r5
No r5 video ! Why?? 😐😐
It's just about as good as the r5! kind of......
r6?
Matti Haapoja haha
Peter, Jared, Manny, Vistek, DPReview, Irene, Martin, Gordon: EOS R5, EOS R6.
Matti: Z CAM E2-F6
The commuity of Z-Cam is priceless. The CEO itself helps you in the Facebook Group.
that s great
Himself*
@@Samvisualarts are you assuming the CEO is human? 🤔
@@ktgage lol
Good job, Matti. And thanks for the shout-out! 🤓🙏
On an unrelated note, I like how you've configured the studio. It works really well as a pleasing backdrop to your talking head shot. Looks great!
studio tour!
@@JairusPoppProductions you mean studio undone.
not enough purple
Studio review Gerald ?
I'm cheering for zcam to succeed. If they can work out the bugs this will be a brilliant little cine cam at an almost affordable price. The mirrorless cameras are getting close with technology but the form factor can't handle the heat. This has the potential to be a system you could run with for years
I think the F6 is the best camera I've owned, love the form factor and build. It's a modular little tank. Works great in hot and cold weather. It has a ton of different flavors of Codecs for different levels of projects. I also love that I can nearly make it through a day long shoot with basically one NPF battery, granted my batteries are pretty new. The 10-bit is great, and the color science in general hasn't given me any issues in post. Really enjoy this camera.
do you have the full frame model? still like it a year later?
was considering the e2 f6 full frame over the panasonic s1h/bs1h or the sony fx3. don't need mirrorless form factor, but the software/usability issues w/ zcam have me a little concerned
Good review! Just FYI, You can set a custom voltage warning that will stop recording and write the file if the battery gets too low. This is helpful for preventing data loss for sure and a good solution until zcam fixes the data loss issue or at least disables file splitting. Most of the npf you would use with the cam run the cam 2-3 hours easy...especially the larger ones...so those two factors combined I think make it a lot more suited for long form than you would think.
I have the S6 and I love it. I use it for weddings, product videos, and ads for businesses and it excels at all three.
Hi Matti! Great video! I just want to answer/clarify two problems you had:
- If you lose power you lose the footage you were recording: Well, if you rip out the battery while the camera is recording… yes, but if you lose power because your battery is dying, No. Z-Cam automatically stop the recording when the battery goes under the set voltage limit and save your footage (I don’t know many cameras that do that).
- App is not connecting to the camera: I expect that you already connected your phone to the camera’s Wi-Fi but you also need to turn off data (cellphone data) on your phone. Let me know if that fixes it for you!
That red blotch happens when I film with my Fujis too. It goes away in Premiere when you change your sequence setting to "Maximum Bit Depth." It drove me crazy for months not knowing that.
Great video...This week was a great of announcements for us. Did you see our announcement with Z CAM?!
Earlier this week alongside Z CAM we enabled 12-bit 5.8K Apple ProRes RAW over HDMI recording on the Ninja V HDR monitor-recorder in combination with the Flagship series Z CAM E2-F6, E2-F8 and E2-S6 large sensor cinema cameras, as well as 4K ProRes RAW recording from the Micro 4/3 E2, E2-M4 and E2 C models.
Colour shift was already fixed in firmware. You need to enable airplane mode to use your phone as a monitor. Power loss isn’t really a thing since the camera stops recording when you are running low and closes the clip. You can also run dual power source for hot swap of batteries.
Every other youtuber: THE R5! oMG!!1111
Matti: Look! A Z-Cam!
Great Review though! :D
I loved that you drew a parallel with Aputure, super helpful :)
Loss of data with loss of power is so 1980s, but at least it has an ethernet port. This camera should always be hooked up to another computer for recording then. I'm getting one of those as soon as I leave the jungle. Thanks for the awesome video 🙏
To be honest, if you’re watching on an iPhone it all looks the same lol. I think most cameras out now are more than capable. Nice video mate!
No it doesn't. your confusing playback resolution with captured dynamic range.
Very true, only way we can tell a difference now if you’re shooting on an old 1080 camera
Jaymes Media false
Yes! You should watch in samsung phone to see the difference :-P
This is not the channel you are looking for.
I agree w/ you about shooting RAW. Pro Res is wonderful, but as long as you nail exposure and WB you can get beautiful footage with h.625 with much smaller files.
"This is what RED should be" RED months later releases the komodo
Speaking of Red they’re actually coming out with a camera called the Komodo that looks like it’s about the same size as the Z-Cam that shoots 6k and has a Canon RF mount but it’s only gonna have a super 35 sensor. Pricing is supposed to be around $5k-6k USD.
ye, but you will add $3k for the external monitor, and $500 for battery and $1500 for a memory card. So $12k for that camera minimum.
ZCam does 8k for $6k full frame
I'm actually looking forward to the Komodo. It's looking really promising!
@@alekseibarulin3511 no actually its cfast, has an sdi slot for any cheap monitor and runs on $100 canon batteries
But the footage look like come from a mirrorless
Our new Zcam rig is a beast and work horse! Love the camera and all it can do and the quality is over the top
Does it overheat like the R5? Unlike the R5, this is designed to be used on a production. With all the connectors, mounting points, and everything. Can't imagine the R5 being used on production even though the spec sheet seems to suggest it would be.
Linus can watercool the R5
Never heard about over heating, body of it is metal and work as heat sink
Great review. I'll be getting the S6 because it is the most adaptable to a wide array of lenses from MFT to PL and EF.
as an avid Zcam user its great to see some more mainstream content coming out!
ps the e2 m4 is a 4/3rds sensor but still 4k 120p great DR and its only 1500$:)
pps I use the app with a cable and its rock solid and super low lag!
ppps they have released some new firmware I believe or some sort of fix for the power loss file issue
For this price point I would suggest looking into the Red Komodo!
So wonderful
Can you make a comparition between Z and blackmagic camera?!
Matti but canon has an app called canon connect with which you can control your camera with your phone and also works as an external monitor/screen
I use it, it sucks. He means an app that doesn't suck and has low enough latency and high enough quality to replace an actual monitor.
I want to henceforth be now known as 'Model Tyler' instead of 'Manager Tyler' plzz
It's awesome to have this review from a youtuber you trust.
I was looking and saving for a Zcam the past year, and you convinced me. My budget will decide between the 4/3, the S35 or Full Frame Sensor.
Unbox R5 or R6 with KAI . I think you should make a segment like, "unboxing with Kai" like 2 min Tuesday 😀😀
Z CAM: I shoot 6K raw
Canon: hold my beer
Just happy to see technology trickle down from high end cinema cameras to budget cinema cameras and now to mirrorless cameras.
film making has never been this accessible and at this pace by 2025 all new cameras will shoot raw and the competition will be for dynamic range. 👍👍👍
Canon: I shoot 8k raw but may burn...
@@LucasHJX 🤣
@@LucasHJX Their is a Zcam E2F8 (8K) version.
@@GarCorStudio tbh I'm not interested anymore in zcam after gerald undone review , I would rather go with something that does 95% of what the zcam do but without the negatives of it.
@@yousefabdulrhman858 I Understand. I personally did some research and interacted with people who have it, in addition to Gerald's recent updated video acknowledging the updates they fixed. And for me (even with the current remaining flaws) it will work for the what I do, especially for the price. Will know for certain when I get it. LOL. But one chooses the tool that speaks to them and works for them and for the budget one can afford.
I love your content matti
It is definitely a superb image... but could you compare it against the BMPCC 6K and EOS R5? At 4000 USD (unbuilt) it is twice the cost of BM6K (1995 USD now, including Resolve Studio) and at par with EOS R5. Both of those cameras offer RAW, and slow motion.. (And more importantly, the R5 offers DPAF in all modes)... also the after sales service. Thanks for the review!
Looks like Arri footage! Anything would be a upgrade from my 7D at this point.
Its crazy how insane cameras have become!
Great evening: editing and watching/hearing your video!
The Zcam is a red alternative at a fraction of the price. It really is an order of magnitude above most competition
Despite the R5 being out, doesn’t entice me enough yet to switch to it. I shoot Sony and have invested myself in the lenses so for now with my a7iii and a7rii I can accomplish what I need for my RUclips and client work. It’s awesome to see what the cameras are becoming and how much the mirrorless word is progressing. The R5 is a great step into the more “cinema” approach for mirrorless cameras. The Z cam looks great for what they are and provides a different approach to investing into more cinema cameras. For me not there yet, but who knows by the time I feel like I need to get into it, there might be more competition and options that’ll suit me best!
They have interchangeable lens mounts M4/3, PL, EF, and they're working on Sony mount now. All with the exception of the M4/3 support their electronic ND.
Is it relevant? Considering R5 is released
Awesome, Matti! You made a great video full of value information!
I'd love to see a breakdown of the Z-Cam E2-M4
Yes
Hey matti love the content #1 and 1 viewer
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR BEING STRAIGHT TO THE POINT!! CONGRATSSS!!
The high resolution at high frame rates in addition to good dynamic range .. tempting.
wish blackmagic would release something similar to this. I want this form factor with blackmagic raw, and a monitor i can control it with that has bm ui. and no, the bm micro cinema camera does not count
I 2nd that! I hate the form factor of the pocket cams.
yep exactly.. and red komodo is not even avaible right now
Red komodo has a lot less than bm
@@nikolaidante3571 a lot less what?
@@jamesshort6856 functions and abilities. Just marginally better image on Komodo
I think the Aputure analogy is perfect. I also think Z Cam will continue to develop the way aputure did making way for better and cheaper cameras.
I love my Zcam's I ended up purchasing (2) E2's and (1) E2S6. I highly recommend the cameras for all shooting scenarios. The only Pet peeve I have is the little screen. Heres to the Zcam E3 series ayyyy!
I have watched Bosch on Amazon Prime through now three times. It was filmed on RED cameras. The skin tones are wonderful. There are scenes with a white person standing next to a black person outdoors in bright lighting. And both people's skin tones are wonderful. It is amazing what is going on with smaller more mobile cameras.
what about the E2C
This looks so good. Worth checking out. The footage is spot on!
I looked up "Best Cinematic Camera" and not one Peter McKinnon video. I was shocked lol. Great video! Does this camera still hold up for the size and price or a R5?
Matti is truly the man! That’s all you need to know!
Too many problems for me to work with. How does it compare to the BMPCC line? The image is lovely though and the DR is crazy.
I skip raw on my bmpcc4k too. Prores just works better for me.
So Canon wasn't kind enough to let you play with an R5 for the last few months 😔😑
I'm actually shocked at how many RUclipsrs and 'Influencers' have had the R5 all this time
that dynamic range is the point really !
I would love to see a partnership between Zcam and blackmagic to get something like a full-frame ursa mini Pro 4.6k G2
Nice camera but waiting for the RED Komodo ;) Order for the stormtrooper is placed.
Smartphone monitor on Zcam always works fine.. I have one zcam e2 I bought in 2019 and it can monitor by smortphone since the first day I bought it. Maybe you didnt configure it correctly. If you are using wifi you need to enable zcam wifi network on camera and configure it . As you saw an Kai´s video, using usb-c connection is better as it has no lag (or almost none... less than 1second).. but to monitor using usb-c you need to configure your smartphone to enable usb debugging (on android) .. and its super easy.. just check how to enable usb debugging on (there are a lot of youtube videos showing how to do that).. about autofocus, its really not great, but a TOF module for Zcam is just coming on the next weeks or months and I believe it will be a game changer to help ... and you should follow zcam facebook usergroup.. you will know a lot of great news about zcam over there.. And congratulations.. its a good video, even I disagree about some points :)
Can we just see some good ol’ 24fps? I’m so tired of Cinema Camera reviews getting their rocks off showing slow motion.
@@fredriksvard2603 hahahahah good one
This video was more exciting to click on then the Canon R5 & R6 videos. I understand how the pro's all want R5, R6 and possibly Z6s and Z7s. But, I think the R, RP, Z6 & Z7 is more then enough fun. Just wish Nikon would get some Z lens out as I'm more excited about what can be done with lens these days.
This is way better than the R5. Internal prores, eND, native anamorphic support
Hi Matti hope your having a good day!
Can it make me look more than human? If not, I'll stick to my GoPro Hero 8 for that cinematic, noiseless night footage, thanks
Thanks Matti!! Really appreciate this review! God bless you brother
Looks cute!
Somehow every video you pick the best music Matti. LOL
Your new editor has great taste in footwear.
Drive the unique angle, that’s how you differentiate! :)
My take on cameras that don't use their own mount is they should all use the Z mount now, because once the right adapter exists they can take any and every lens. Great camera though, it seems!
Hey Matti! Have you ever done a video explaining the different kinds of ProRes (XQ/444 and all that) still don’t really know which one to use 😂
Great review! I loved this camera!
What camera setup are you using to film this video tutorial
I missed vids like this one!
At 2:06 if you LISTEN closely a mosquito flies by. bzzzz. 😂
This thing looks pretty sweet! What are you thoughts on the new/upcoming Red Komodo?! That would be a pretty fun comparison with this Z Cam.
I’m not really agree about using our phone to use the camera because i think it is not enough bright and very to small. I prefer use an atomos monitor. But love your videos from France 🇫🇷
With z cam you can use iPad 😜
Can't wait for
R5 vs zcam
R5 vs red
R5 vs arri
R5 vs black magic videos
..And don't leave out the Panasonic S1h..But I am not sure the R5 is in the same category per say. All those cameras you named are "cinema" level cameras. The R5 is still a hybrid with limitations the others don't really have. Better comparisons would be with the upcoming Sony a7sii successor, Fuji xt4, etc. But I get what your are saying.
Fuji X-H2. Panasonic GH6. Going to be some epic comparison videos.
Please compare the ZCam to the Canon C500 Mark II, the Eos R5 or the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera
Thankyou for this! I need this camera- May I ask where you got this song from? I love it!!!
If you're on T-Mobile you need to turn off cellular data. I don't know why, but that's what I have to do for the phone app. AT&T and Verizon (I think) work fine without doing that.
You could always render out proxy files to edit with in Premiere Pro. Then when you want to render it, Premiere will use the real files. It's only one extra step, but it'll make the footage usable to edit with. I used to have to do this back in 2017 with 4k phone footage when all I had was a 2010 Dell desktop to edit with. Those were the times, lol.
You can also make your own preset in media encoder and then assign in Premiere to automatically convert any video that you drag into Premiere to encode your ProRes 720 proxy files. As it creates each proxy, premiere will automatically switch out for the proxy. Oh and another tip there when making that preset in media player, be sure to put a proxy background watermark on all your proxy files so you know when you are looking at a proxy versus the original.
So you can use proxy's in premiere without even an extra click ;-)
Wow awesome vid!! Piece of advice tho, all the B-roll in your videos (when you review a new camera) is starting to look very similar. I really suggest going out into the woods or some other location other than the front of your building and alleyway
Watching in 480 p still looks good :)
Great video! I do have a question, do lenses with IS work with the F6?
Hello,
Thanks for a great video about Z-cam. I myself am very interested in s-6 because f-6 is a bit too expensive for me.
I hear a fly around 2:08
I thought it was in my room and drove me crazy
I wonder if there's a way to hotswap NPF batteries.
F the R5, im sold. Ill keep the R an use this. Hellz yeah.
So the main cameras I have been using have been the Blackmagic pocket Cinema OG and my main camera the Panasonic GH4 which I still use to this day.
I will upgrade but I have been looking around I like the Komodo but $6,000 is a lot I have been looking at the new Canon R s, the Sony a7 iii3
And definitely the Z cam I've always had my eye on the zcam because I love the way it looks.
Your channel rocks I've always watched it. 🤘😎
I thought Matti was going all "I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign" at one point.
Please make a comparisson of all the options that z cam provides.
post firmware update, I would love to see the love to see you revisit ZCam!
A short time ago many VR headset makers tried to push the "your smartphone is the screen" thing, and it backfired. People don't actually want to lose their connection to the world, the battery, the information retrieving functionalities etc. Phones are too important to us nowadays.
I mean I can use it for a couple of seconds to tweak my gimbal. But using it constantly over wifi with max screen brightness, while missing my communication (or seriously interrupting my filming), and having to charge it during/right afterwards, I dunno.
For a hobby filmmaker dude like myself, id say the F6 is still somehwat outta price range. Do you have any thoughts or anything on the E2 M4.. looks like the best thing ever, im just wondering about prores instead of braw..MAKING CHOICES STRESSSS
Great video. Thanks for sharing it. I was originally looking at the S6 but because I need better low light will now go for the F6. The original lens I was looking at was the Sigma 18-35 F1.8. But I believe that’s not full frame. Any recommendations on a full frame lens that’s equivalent for the F6? Thanks in advance.
Is it better than the BMPCC6k for film making?
I'm over here thinking that it would be closer to 2.5K-3K, lol. Then I heard the actual price and I choked on my spit, lmao.
Sony has an app. I use it all the time!!! You're so right about that!!!
Please test Zcam f6,panasonic S5 & Red komodo.
Very exciting!
