hey what's up everybody is your boy Hugh here from CreatorUp. I am at AbelCine right
now. We are in the day 2 of the 360 masterclass training. With me here I have
the Insta360 Pro 2 and the Z Cam S1. So i wanted to a quick image quality
comparison between the s1 and the pro 2
So you can see the color difference, resolution difference and also
image sharpness difference of these two cameras.
And then you pay attention to my face so look at these two camera how good is it
to showcase the humans face and then i got walk around to see how the stitching
between these two cameras
and I'm really really close to the camera so is I was a two feet away the
camera. So now I'm going to dark so here on the stage there is no light here. I'm
pretty dark I'm standing next behind the Sennheiser Ambeo microphone and the
Tascam mixer still holding the chart on my hand in the dark so you can see how good
is in a low light situation or in a shadow how good is these 2 cameras so if you
don't know the Z Cam S1 is the first ever professional 360
camera it's been around for more than 2 years now...
condition the s1 right now is in full auto mode and with the sRGB color
profile so that is what you will get out of the box the s1 is a very basic mono
scopic 360 camera with 6k resolution it only has four lenses compared to the pro
2 which has six it does not do stereoscopic and 60 frames per second
need to drop the resolution to 4k it is stitched with its own software called
wonderstitch which also utilized optical flow technology the pro 2 you
just watched it's film with a 8K so the resolution is supposed to be higher but
again don't hung up on the numbers and focus on the actual image quality you
are watching right now if you pay close attention to the color chart you will
see more contract on the pro 2 footage and the white is whiter and the black
look black which is very important if you are not planning to do color
correction in post pro 2 does a great job on the out of the box color but what do
you think? comment below! There are noticeable stitching issue in
the s1 even in the safe distance, which is more than five feet away
from the camera this will give you some headache in POST when you try to fix
that stitch
so why now we are on the LOG mode the Zcam we're using the z-Log. In the insta360
Pro 2 in the i- Log. They are both iso 200 and the shutter speed is 1/30
because its a pretty dark room so we cannot use ISO 100
Let's see how's the quality comparison
Again both cameras are in the exact same setting which is in manual mode ISO 200
and shutter speed is 1/30. Look at the wall in the distance there is noticeable
green patches color noise which looks like compression artifacts which you
don't see in the i-Log from the Insta360
it's really hard to compare logarithmic colorspace until you throw in some LUTs.
I provide all this footage in DNxhr to download so you can test it yourself and
davinci resolve the Lumetri color
Here I add in the official Insta360 LUT just for reference
and here I add in the officials Z CAM cinema LUT for the Z-Log. As you see no
matter what camera you use shooting in logarithmic mode is crucial to achieve
that beautiful color in POST. And that's what I will suggest don't worry if you
need help on color correction my next tutorial will focus on basic color
grading for 360 footage
