Panasonic EVA1 5.7K S35 Documentary Package (EF)

Description

The Panasonic AU-EVA1 Compact 5.7K Super 35mm Cinema Camera is a flexible camera system ready for documentary, cinema, and live event production. The 5.7K sensor is used to super-sample internal recordings, resulting in higher resolving images with less noise and artifacting when compared to non-super-sampled recordings. The standard native ISO is 800, which works for most production situations. With the Dual Native ISO, this can be switched to 2500 when working in dim scenarios.

Curiouser C was great to rent from! Everything in good condition. Winston was a good communicator, delivered on time and was easily reachable when I had questions. Would definitely rent from him again

We've assembled this package for how we like to kit the EVA1 for doc-style shooting. The package includes everything needed to record video and audio and transfer the recorded media. Additionally, this package travels well in a backpack. The kit is well suited for:
- sit down interview (tripod, wireless lav and shotgun mic included)
- walk and talk (request second wireless lav instead of a shotgun mic)
- run and gun (hand grip, shotgun mic and fast, sharp wide-angle and mid-range zooms included)
- landscape or b-roll (built-in ND, EIS)

EVA1 is a S35 newcomer in the likes of a Canon C300Mk2 or Sony FS7Mk2 but with better image quality and lighter weight. We use EVA primarily for narrative short films but it's extremely well suited for documentary style shooting as well. If you're looking for a cine package, we have one of those as well. We also have a bare bones rental for just the camera, media and power. As always, we're happy to field questions about the camera or this rental specifically :)

What sets it apart:
+ Lightest weight in class (2.65lbs bare, ~8lbs as kitted here)
+ Sharpest image (5.7K supersampled image)
+ Dual Native ISO (full 14 stops DR at 800 and 2500)
+ Panasonic V-log color

Important internal recording specs:
- All 10-bit codecs are 4:2:2 and can select between LongGOP (50-150Mb/s) or All-I (100-400Mb/s)
- All 8-bit codecs are 4:2:0 and LongGOP (50-150Mb/s)
- 4K (4096x2160) or UHD (3840x2160) 10-bit up to 30fps
- 4K or UHD 8-bit up to 60fps
- 2K (2048x1080) or FHD (1920x1080) 10-bit up to 120fps
- 2K or FHD 8-bit up to 240fps (4/3" sensor crop)

FAQ:
Q: I have my own lenses, can I use those with this package?
A: As long as they're EF lenses or adapted for an EF mount body, yes. The included zoom lenses come off the body as any EF lens would. If you don't plan to use the included our lenses at all, let us know and we won't include them in your package.

Q: Is this the best low-light camera in its class?
A: An incredibly adequate low-light camera, it's not "the best". Many EVA owners and reviewers wouldn't want to shoot higher than 5000 ISO, especially if you're not planning to reduce noise in post. That being said, the image being sharper to start leaves some room to reduce noise and maintain incredible IQ.

Q: With this kit can I shoot all day?
A: For most shoots, this rental should provide enough power to get you through an 8-12hr day of non-stop shooting. Media wise, you can capture between 3hr 40min and 11hr depending on your recording options. Not recommended, but you can also choose to shoot FHD AVCHD and get something like 20hr out of this media without a transfer. Of course, this kit includes a dual battery charger and SD card reader to allow you to shoot to eternity.

Q: Do you have a _____ for EVA?
A: We probably do. If you can't find it listed in the doc or cine packages, ask us.
