Chapter 208 New Fun
Chapter 208 New Fun
Good guy, Another new product without a word?
These days, you are too embarrassed to hold a press conference without releasing a photolithography machine, right?
He Jiyue had heard about Daqin Optics’ previous new product launch process.
I just don’t know if the new product this time is the video machine he wants, or just a lens…
After pausing for a moment, He Jiyue clicked in with the last glimmer of hope.
Video weapon – Tongwu micro single!
New on the market!
He Jiyue’s pupils suddenly dilated a little, and then he immediately looked at the price.
26999!
Fuck!
It doesn’t seem cheap at all?
This price is more expensive than A7S3! However, He Jiyue soon noticed that there were two other keywords in the title: Medium format, 2000W pixels! He Jiyue was immediately stunned. “Fuck! Medium… Medium format? 20 million pixels!” It is said that a larger sensor is more powerful. The words “medium format” alone can make full-frame sensors retreat. As a professional photographer, He Jiyue is also very clear about how large sensors crush small sensors. Simply put, the larger the size of COMs, the larger the space occupied by each pixel, and the more light signals can be received. Sufficient light signals are the most important basis for COMs imaging. The reason is the same as farming. Whether rice grows well or not is closely related to the spacing between plants. If you plant them too densely, each rice grain will get less sunlight, so the yield and quality will be reduced. In professional terms, this is called spatial sampling, and combined with pixels, it is the spatial sampling rate.
Among the current digital movie cameras, the camera with the largest sensor is the Alexa 65 developed by IMAX and ARRI.
The sensor size of the Alexa 65 reaches 54*25mm, which is larger than the sensor size of the medium format. The highest resolution is 6560*3102, which is only 20.35 million pixels.
Even though it has been ten years since its release, it is still ARRI’s flagship camera and is recognized by industry insiders as the strongest camera on the surface!
This camera is used in movies such as “Captain America”, “Parasite”, “Joker”, “Mission Impossible”, “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”, and “Thor”.
It is only rented and not sold. With the whole system, the daily rental fee is $10,000, and if it is not a top film crew, he will not rent it even if you pay him.
Similar examples include RED’s DSMC2 8K Monstro and V-RAPTOR 8K VV, both of which use 40.96X21.60mm large-format sensors.
Therefore, He Jiyue did not think that this Tongwu was not good because it only had 20 million pixels,
Instead, it was too good! The combination of low pixels + medium-format large bottom made him realize more clearly that this was definitely born for video shooting, a perfect video tool!
With such a large pixel, the photosensitivity must be super strong! This will make this machine perform better in shooting scenes with relatively dark light, such as night scenes.
For example, the full-frame sensor + 1200W pixels of A7S3, when the sensitivity is adjusted to 12800, the picture can still be very transparent with very few noise points.
Even in the dark where the naked eye can’t see clearly, the machine can still shoot clearly.
For He Jiyue, it is very likely that a 300W lamp can fully meet his needs for food upscaling.
Even if you want to open a large aperture to shoot shallow depth of field, you may have to “block light” and “reduce light”…
Thinking of this, He Jiyue immediately excitedly turned down to the details page and carefully looked at the specific performance parameters.
Tongwu’s performance parameters made He Jiyue’s eyes brighter and brighter.
Full format supports 10bit 4:2:2 color depth and supports RAW 16-bit external recording.
16-stop high dynamic range, 1080 phase focus points + 720 contrast focus points,
Up to 1080P480 frames, 4K240 frames, 6K60 frames video shooting format! M.2 interface solid state drive storage solution! …
Especially this 1080P 480 frame upscaling capability, it’s just like it was made for him!
Looking at the Tongwu camera that completely crushes the Sony A7S3 and can even compete with the RED SCARLET-W ‘small weapon’, He Jiyue was so excited that he almost jumped up.
You know, the price of RED SCARLET-W is as high as 127,600 yuan, which is the pre-order discount price just released. Normally, it costs 149,999 to buy it!
He Jiyue glanced at the package on the table and couldn’t help cursing: “Damn, it’s a good thing I haven’t even sealed the package yet!”
Although there are seven days without reason after opening the package, if you open it and activate it and use it, you have to argue with the customer service.
Maybe it’s possible that they won’t give you a refund. He Jiyue calmed his little heart, and then continued to pay attention to several ‘Haojie’ bayonet lenses released with the Tongwu camera.
Especially the two he needs to buy.
24-70mm F2.2, 5999 yuan, 100mm F2.8 macro lens, 4699 yuan, Fortunately,
Although it is much more expensive than the Hero mount lens, it is completely within his affordable range.
And with such a large aperture mount, the lens is naturally a circle larger, with more materials, and higher technical and workmanship requirements. And doing so will bring more light intake. In the field of professional film and television shooting, this is not only not a deduction, but also a huge plus.
At least from the perspective of paper data and the price-performance ratio of accessories, A7S3 has no resistance at all. It can even be said that these two products are not products of the same dimension at all.
Tongwu is a movie-level camera in the guise of a micro-single camera! Compared to the bulky professional movie-level cameras, it has the lightweight properties of a micro-single camera, which is suitable for small teams or even single-soldier operations.
Although the design of medium format and large bayonet makes it impossible for Tongwu to be as small and exquisite as the Sony A7S3, and its size and weight can only be between micro-single and professional cameras,
But for professional image creators, this slight increase in weight and size is completely acceptable.
If you can’t lift fitness equipment, what kind of professional photographer is it? ! Even if you think positively, the equipment is bigger, you can pretend to be cool, and make the client feel happy at a glance.
For example, the A7S3, although it is better than many cameras that look “big and professional” in terms of video quality and performance,
But it is too small and exquisite. If you take it out to work, you will always receive strange looks from the client…
If you can’t pretend to be cool, it’s hard to ask for money.
In addition, on the details page of Tongwu, Daqin Optics clearly stated,
If after receiving the goods, it is found that Tongwu is only strong on paper, but not in actual performance, users can directly apply for a seven-day unconditional return.
Even if it is unpacked and used.
This allows users who want to try new things to have no worries at all.
So He Jiyue immediately opened the previous order, decisively returned the A7S3, and then bought a set of Tongwu.
Body plus two lenses, Wallet-37697!
Although it is only less than 10,000 cheaper than the A7S3 solution, but the 10,000 cheaper price has brought a device that completely crushes the A7S3 in performance. If this is not good,
Does it have to eat Sony’s shit to be good? —— Lin’an Academy of Fine Arts, Jiangsu Province.
Li Chen hasn’t posted a review video for a long time.
Mainly after Wuan came out, he felt that no matter how he reviewed the machine in the review notebook, it was a bit awkward.
And Daqin Optics has not released new products for a long time.
Speaking of this, he was even more embarrassed.
Not only did he not post a video for a long time, he even didn’t read the video comments and private messages.
All the fans’ face-riding output, what’s good to see?
There is no way, who told him to misjudge Mr. Kang’s development path…
So in the past six months, in addition to normal study, Li Chen’s extra energy has been used to shoot experimental short films.
This is his new fun.
If nothing else, just because when shooting short films, classmates kept saying Director Li on the left and Director on the right, it was enough for him to secretly laugh.
What’s more, his first short film assignment won the second prize in the creative category in the short film competition unit of the Yanjing International Film Festival.
This greatly stimulated his creative passion and competitive spirit, and he was determined not to be second next year.
He had already thought of the subject matter, and he would use ChineseThe documentary was made with the theme of the National Camera. Through artistic processing, it tells the “difficult” birth of Wu’an Camera with more vivid stories and pictures.
The inspiration came from the short documentary played at the Daqin Optics Conference.
However, the short film was actually made a bit hastily and briefly at that time. A large number of old photos were used as pictures. The narration of the whole process was not vivid enough and lacked the emotional rendering power of the story.
Moreover, the timeline only stayed at the closure of those old camera factories and did not continue to the present.
Li Chen is going to fill in the timeline.
Therefore, during this period, whenever he was free, he took his friends to travel around the country, interviewed the old generation of camera manufacturers such as Seagull and Phoenix, and collected and filmed video materials of the old sites of these old camera factories.
At the same time, he also contacted Fang Qiming, and learned more about the development history of Daqin Optics from Fang Qiming’s perspective. He was going to Dongyang to shoot the old factory site of Daqin Optics, and then restore the scene of the two of them rubbing the production line by hand…
Of course, Li Chen would not be so naive as to let Kang Chi play the role himself, which would be a waste of his life. He could only find someone with a similar body shape and appearance to Kang Chi as a stand-in, and replace the face with special effects in the later stage.
Just when Li Chen was still looking at the shooting script and thinking about how to better use the language of the lens to present the scene of Kang Chi inviting Fang Qiming to join Daqin Optics at that time, his roommate Xiong Feng suddenly exclaimed:
”Fuck! Brother Chen, Brother Chen, come and see! Daqin Optics has released a medium-format video micro single!”
”Ah?!!”
