For a comparison purposes:
- Panasonic GH4 (on S900 and Zenmuse) can record internally H.264 4:2:0 8bit 100Mbit/sec. Soon there will be 100USD option for V-Log L gama, bit it stil does not ship...
- Sony A7S II (on S900 and Zenmuse when it becomes avaiable) can record internally H.264 4:2:0 8bit at 100Mbit/sec or at 60Mbit/sec (bandwidth selectable in menu). There is perfect S-Log 3 gama.
- Atomos Ninja Assasin and Atomos Shogun (added to S900 system) can utilize HDMI output of a camera and record Apple ProRes 422 HQ at 220Mbit/sec, or Avid DNxHR HQX - Panasonic GH4 provides 10bit color on HDMI, while Sony A7S II provides just 8bit color over HDMI
- ultimate rig for arial videography would be GH4+Ninja Assasin on S900 w. Zenmuse, while ultimate arial photography would be Sony A7R II on s900 with any gimbal
Some thoughts and analysis...
I can conclude that X5 is on par with low "semi-pro" specs, and it costs less then GH4+Zenmuse.... Drone shooting does have lot of motion in a frame so higher bandwidth would be most significant upgrade -still, if X5 got H264 4:2:0 8bit 100Mbit/sec recorder then just purists and high-end pros would consider X5R option, while in the same time high-end pros would surely preffer RED Raven, Dragon or Alexa Mini on large octacopter with Movi gimbal... So DJI is trying to push X5R to low budget semi-broadcast professional productions, while standard X5 is more for photographers and event videographers... For average panorama-style user X3 is fair, simple and efficient choice, bit of you would like better lenses and photos X5 is fair option (Inspire 1 pro should cost 4000USD/EUR), while for high-end videography X5R is way to go (GH4+Ninja Assasin has price of cca 3000USD/EUR so fair price for Inspire 1 + X5R would be max 6000USD/EUR) - so X5 options are overpriced by aprox 15% to 25% just for their nice looks and nice software imterfaces,,, |
