Technological power starts with upgrading lenses

Good guy,

Another new product released without saying a word?

There are no lithography machines released these days, so you are too embarrassed to hold a press conference, right?

He Jiyue has also heard about Daqin Optics' previous new product development process.

I just don’t know if this new product is the video camera he wants or just a lens...

After He Jiyue's hand paused for a moment, he clicked in with the last glimmer of hope.

Video weapon - Tongwu mirrorless camera!

New Listing!

He Jiyue's pupils suddenly dilated a bit, and then he immediately looked at the price.

26999!

Damn it!

It doesn’t seem cheap at all?

This price is more expensive than A7S3!

but,

He Jiyue soon noticed that there were two other keywords in the title:

Medium format, 20 million pixels!

He Jiyue was stunned immediately.

"Fuck! Medium...medium format? Twenty million pixels!"

It is said that the size of a camera is too large to kill someone. Just the words "medium format" can make a full frame camera retreat three feet.

As for how the outsole crushes the small sole, He Jiyue, a professional videographer, actually knows it very well.

Simply put, the larger the size of the COMs, the larger the space occupied by each pixel and the more light signals it can receive.

Sufficient light signals are the most important basis for COMS imaging.

The principle is the same as farming. Whether the rice grows well or not has a lot to do with the distance between the plants. If you plant it densely, each rice will get less sunlight, so the yield and quality will decrease.

In professional terms, this is called spatial sampling, and combined with pixels is the spatial sampling rate.

Currently, the camera with the largest sensor among digital cinema cameras is the Alexa 65, a camera jointly developed by imax and Alai.

The Alexa 65 sensor size reaches 54*25mm, which is larger than the sensor size of the medium format. The maximum resolution is 6560*3102, which is only 20.35 million pixels.

Even though ten years have passed since its release, it is still ARRI's flagship camera and is recognized by industry insiders as the most powerful camera on the surface!

"Captain America", "Parasite", "Joker", "Mission: Impossible", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", "Thor" and other movies all used this camera.

It is only for rent, not for sale. With the entire system, the daily rental cost is 10,000 US dollars, and if it is not a top-notch movie crew, they will not rent it if you pay them.

Similar examples include RED's two flagship cameras, 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 Tongwu was not good just because it only had 20 million pixels.

But it’s great!

The combination of low pixels + medium format outsole made him realize more clearly,

This is definitely made for shooting videos, a perfect video tool!

With such large pixels, the photosensitivity must be super strong!

This will make this machine perform even better in shooting in dark scenes such as night scenes.

For example, the A7S3's full-frame sensor + 12 million pixels, when the sensitivity is adjusted to 12800, the picture can still be very transparent with very little noise.

Even when it's too dark to see clearly with the naked eye, you can capture it clearly with a machine.

For He Jiyue, it is very likely that a 300W lamp can fully meet his needs for upgrading food shots.

Even if you want to open a wide aperture to take a picture with a shallow depth of field, you may have to 'shade' or 'reduce the light'...

Thinking of this, He Jiyue immediately turned down the details page excitedly and looked at the specific performance parameters carefully.

Each and every performance parameter of Tongwu made He Jiyue's eyes brighter and brighter.

The full format supports 10bit 4:2:2 color depth and supports RAW 16-bit external recording.

16 stops of high dynamic range,

1080 phase focus points + 720 contrast focus points,

Video shooting formats up to 1080P480 frames, 4K240 frames, and 6K60 frames!

M.2 interface solid state drive storage solution!

…

Especially the 2K480 frame upgrading capability is as if it was tailor-made for him!

Seeing the Tongwu camera completely crushing the Sony A7S3 and even competing 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. This is the pre-order discount price just released. Normally, you can buy it for 149,999 yuan!

He Jiyue glanced at the package on the table and couldn't help but cursed: "Damn, it's a good thing I haven't even sealed the package yet!"

Although there is no excuse for seven days after unpacking, if you unpack it and activate it, you will have to argue with customer service.

Maybe they won't be refunded.

He Jiyue calmed his little heart, and then continued to pay attention to several "Hero" mount lenses released together with Tongwu Camera.

Especially the two he needed to buy.

24-70mm F2.2, 5999 yuan,

100mm F2.8 macro lens, 4699 yuan,

fine,

Although it is much more expensive than the hero mount lens, it is completely within his affordability.

And with such a large aperture mount, the lens is naturally larger, uses more materials, and requires higher technology and workmanship.

And by doing this, you get a greater amount of light.

In the field of professional film and television shooting, this is not only not a minus, but also a huge plus.

At least based on the paper data and the price-performance ratio of accessories, A7S3 has no ability to resist at all. It can even be said that these two products are not products of the same dimension at all.

Tongwu is completely a movie-level camera in a mirrorless guise!

Compared with bulky professional film-level cameras, it has the lightweight attributes of a mirrorless camera, making it suitable for small teams or even individual operations.

Although the design of the large medium format bayonet makes it impossible for Tongwu to be as small and exquisite as the Sony A7S3, the size and weight can only be between mirrorless cameras and professional cameras.

But for professional image creators, this slight increase in weight and volume is completely acceptable.

Who is a professional photographer if he can’t lift fitness equipment? !

Even thinking on the bright side, if the equipment is bigger, it can also be pretentious, making Party A feel very happy at the first sight.

For example, the A7S3, although in terms of video quality and performance, is better than many cameras that look "big and professional\

,"But it is too small and exquisite. When you take it out to work, you will always receive strange looks from Party A...

If you can't pretend, it's hard to get money.

In addition, on the details page of Tongwu, Daqin Optics clearly wrote,

If after receiving the goods, it is discovered that Tongwu only has paper strength and the actual performance is not good, the user can directly apply for a seven-day no-reason return.

It can be used even if it is unpacked.

This allows users who want to try something new 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.

The body plus two lenses,

Wallet-37697!

Although it is less than 10,000 cheaper than the A7S3 solution,

But it’s 10,000 cheaper, but it’s a device with performance that completely surpasses the A7S3.

If this doesn't taste good,

Do you have to eat Soni's shit to make it smell good?

Suzhou, Lin'an Academy of Fine Arts.

Li Chen hasn’t posted a review video for a long time.

Mainly because after coming out of Wu'an, he felt that it was a bit awkward to evaluate the small notebook machine no matter how he evaluated it.

Daqin Optics, on the other hand, has yet to release new products.

Speaking of this, he became even more embarrassed.

Not only has he not posted a video for a long time, he has not even read the video messages or private messages.

It’s all about the fan’s face-riding output, what’s so interesting about it?

There is no way, who told him to misjudge Mr. Kang’s development path...

So in the past six months, apart from his normal studies, Li Chen spent all his extra energy on making experimental short films.

This is his new found pleasure.

If not for anything else, just because when making a short film, the students would say something about Director Li and something about the director, which was enough for him to have fun.

What's more, his first short film project won the second prize in the creative category in the short film competition section of the Yanjing International Film Festival.

This greatly stimulated his creative passion and competitive spirit, and he was determined not to be ranked second next year.

He had already thought of the subject, so he shot a documentary on the theme of Hua Guo Camera. Through artistic processing, he used more vivid stories and pictures to tell the story of the "difficult" advent of Wu'an Camera.

The source of inspiration is the short documentary played at the Daqin Optical Press Conference.

However, the short film at that time was actually a bit hasty and short. It used a lot of old photos to present the scene. The narration method throughout the whole process was not vivid enough and lacked the emotional rendering power of the story.

Moreover, the timeline only stops at the closure of a few old camera factories and does not extend to the present.

Li Chen is going to fill in the timeline.

Therefore, during this period of time, as long as he had free time, he would travel around the country with his friends, interviewing the older generation of camera manufacturers such as Seagull and Phoenix, and collect and shoot video materials of the former sites of these old camera factories.

At the same time, he also contacted Fang Qiming to learn more about the development history of Daqin Optics through Fang Qiming's perspective. He planned to go to Dongyang next to take photos of the old factory site of Daqin Optics, and then restore the scene of the two of them rubbing the production line. Reappearance...

Of course, Li Chen would definitely not be so naive. It would be a waste of his life to let Kang Chi play the role himself. He could only find someone with a similar body shape and appearance to Kang Chi as a stand-in, and the post-production special effects of changing his face would be enough. alright.

Just when Li Chen was still looking at the shooting script and thinking about how to better use the language of the camera to present the scene when Kang Chi invited Fang Qiming to join Daqin Optics, his roommate Xiong Feng suddenly exclaimed:

"Holy shit! Brother Chen, Brother Chen, come and see! Daqin Optics has released a medium format video mirrorless camera!"

"ah?!!"
