I finally get it with this camera. I knew it was the color science that was special, but as I've said, I'm pretty sure I can match it with grading a raw format. Other than color, the video is kinda of good but nothing exceptional. Pic, vid detail is also good, noise is good, but yeah, so are a few other cameras.

What's special, I think, is the picture profiles. They are so good they give you the chance to shoot a finished image right out of the camera, often with zero grading effort. That would be a pretty big attraction if you shoot a lot and need to pass it up the pike quickly.

Great for real estate shooters? Who shoot a very high volume of videos.

Looking at the video stills comparison, the A6300 is one notch better than the the Fuji, with less artifacts and higher resolution.

Trembles Panasonic, trembles Sony. I think the look of this camera is very good in video.

Having trouble posting a link. After consulting markdown, still can't figure it out.

Compare the Fujfilm Provia emulation starting about 3:45 with the Sony A6300 footage that precedes it. The XT-2 produces excellent color right out of the camera. That alone justifies the extra cost with just one film.

One thing that I've noted in the CameraStoreTV video: the XT2 have way better colors, the image is sharp, but...when they are filming Chris or Jordan with close shots from their faces, you could see some macroblocking when they move their heads with some speed. It could be the shitty Youtube compression, or other cameras could have have the same behaviour (will have to see similar shots form other cameras), but anyone else noted it?

(remembered me a little the macroblocks that appeared in the first E-M5 when you have moving foliage)

It could be the h264 codec implementation the XT2 uses. I downloaded same original files and discovered, that the cam uses 100Mbps, but with no B-frames and no Cabac. Just like the E-M5 and the GH1.

I think the quality is fine, it's the time limit that is the deal killer.

Pampuri's footage - in FCPX, I was able to pull down the highlights so that the roll-off seemed less harsh, but no detail recovered. Even after bringing the blacks down and applying a curve, shadows remained quite noisy.

This is a fairly extreme dr scene but I am struck by the amount of shadow noise at base ISO. My C100 is my baseline.

Curious what others think.

@berndimax hmmmm - interesting.
