    • video surveillance is about to get REAL good!
    • The niggle with the P4P comes with the tele lens. The first being that 60mm equivalent might actually be a bit too tight for some purposes. It has an alluring shallow depth of field that vloggers will be drawn to using for filming themselves but it’s just that too tight to be held at a distance that will give a decent framing. The second of course is that it can’t use the new D-Log2 as it’s got a different sensor which means another step in post in swapping in correction LUTs on shots that use it. This is compounded by the utterly ridiculous limitation that you have to stop recording and manually change profiles. So if you are on the 20mm enjoying your bonkers 17 stops of dynamic range you can’t zoom through to get a tighter shot without stopping recording and selecting the lower profile. The answer is to always stick in the lower profile )or even a standard non-LOG one) but DJI really need to have a firmware update to allow a way of automatically transitioning if you are using DLog-2. It will still require the recording being stopped (automatically though if they implement it) and the extra step in post of making sure you have the correct LUT for each type of shot but it avoids the titting about with the small touch screen to change profiles, something which will be become very old very quickly. For me, I’d keep it in the standard Dlog profile for general use and treat the D-Log2 as more of a special case when I need more stops than a church organ. The lens though is not something that can be solved with a firmware update and for some people (not me as I am as averse to my own face as other onlookers are) it will be an issue when they start using it in earnest. 
    • CineD tests are published, and the DJI kicks the Insta360s butt completely and utterly. https://www.cined.com/dji-osmo-pocket-4p-lab-test-rolling-shutter-dynamic-range-and-exposure-latitude/ https://www.cined.com/insta360-luna-ultra-lab-test-rolling-shutter-dynamic-range-and-exposure-latitude/  
    • Cined just published their tests of the DJI OSMO Pocket 4P camera, with the new LOFIC sensor, and oh boy does it deliver! Highlights from their testing (of the wide camera): 16 stops at SNR=2, and 17.2 stops at SNR=1, with no internal NR (better than the Alexa 35 and any other camera they've ever tested) 10+ stops of latitude (second only to the Alexa 35) and potentially limited by the 10-bit codec and maybe not the sensor 11ms rolling shutter (not bad, and better than DGO designs) Their studio lights weren't powerful enough to clip the sensor, it has that much DR! The telephoto camera from the DJI isn't a LOFIC sensor and despite testing very well it's not at the same level of performance. The full test: https://www.cined.com/dji-osmo-pocket-4p-lab-test-rolling-shutter-dynamic-range-and-exposure-latitude/ In watching their podcast presentation they revealed a bunch of other interesting info: This is the first of these (tiny consumer) devices that isn't trying to adapt itself to the scene, so it's a "real camera" in the sense that it's not heavily processing things They mentioned they had the iPhone 17 Pro in for testing and even when it was in full manual mode, just by moving the focus point it would change the test results etc As the main DJI camera is ~20mm FOV, they had to develop a new testing setup so the bright patches of the Xyla didn't reflect from the camera onto the dim patches etc LOFIC sensors are likely to be coming into smartphones soon, as this is where the money is in the R&D Sony are working on a smaller version of a LOFIC sensor which would be suitable for smartphones and also for the telephoto camera on the DJI Also, the OG BMPCC got a mention, as they were talking about how it would be great to have such a sensor in a "real" camera body and with interchangeable lenses etc, but MFT sensor size isn't that far away from this, so that could also happen too.  Panasonic went DGO and maybe would do this too..   I'm stoked for the GH8!! Just incredible, and I second the idea of fitting one of these to a body like the OG BMPCC! Images. Waveform plot for the DJI OSMO Pocket 4P 20mm wide D-Log2 ISO1600 Imatest result for the 20mm wide camera, D-Log2 at ISO1600 Latitude tests of the wide camera: The 4-stop over, which due to their lighting restrictions was still probably 1-2 stops from clipping:  
    • The GM1 is long gone, but here's the tiny a110 lens: FWIW, my wife and I made a doc 10 years ago using the GX7 and the GM1 (with a different lens).  It was fun.  I did use the a110 primes I have for a short film. Finally, I also have the a110 Pentax film camera and have started shooting with it just for kicks.
