Same here. We are all excited for seeing a small package with all these features at that price. I like seeing these young "creators" publishing all these nice video handheld. But seriously, for travel or vacation do I need a RAW camera and a countless TB of storage with me? Despite the character, I mostly appreciated the honest Philip Bloom review of this camera. -
Editing R3D NE raw clips in Resolve works fine. For example if you shoot H.265 you can use quicktime in MacOS to open and view your clips, trim unwanted parts out and save only the important to SSD. For NRaw that does not work. I have used Resolve to import the NRaw clips from CFExpress card into the timeline, trim (cut) the carbage out, and export (save) important parts as individual NRaw clips via Resolve’s Media Management For R3D NE and also for NRaw to R3D hacked clips Resolve’s media management exports the whole clips, not only the trimmed parts, so there is no way to save only the parts of Raw footage you want to keep. Red Cine X pro just fails on the export. After starting to shoot NRaw I took a habit to view, trim, edit and save my daily footage after each shooting day, so that my 2TB card would be empty for the next day. That way I would have only my important NRaw footage stored, and also a quick daily clip of those important parts edited, graded and exported as H.265 to view at the same night. With R3D NE you either store everything you shoot as Raw, or edit something out of it and store it as H.265. -

I think they're acting either conservatively with a wait-and-see approach. IMO, they're waiting to see how the S1 series sells. Based on that and the market/competition, they'll act or not. I've been having a hard time getting excited about these newer bodies. Really, it's more about 4k120fps (if anything). I just cannot justify that kind of expense as a hobbyist. RAW isn't for me. I'm much more excited about lenses now, but even with them, they're becoming too similar across brands. I don't know why, but they're also becoming boring. The Chinese lenses seem to be where the more unique looks are coming from. I have a really hard time thinking that the ZR will be viable on the beach in summer with MF lenses. After the GX800 and S9, even though they can be bright, the EVF is non-negotiable now. Maybe I'm getting old. -
Probably the more likely scenario, but at the same time, even the biggest of companies seem to make the most monumental mistakes. I guess that the same philosophy I have always had applies and that is just because you are in business, does not mean you are good at business and that can be applied to any size of company from one man band to massive global one and everything in between. It just takes one single person who has the power to do so to make a wrong decision and... Personally I think it is conservatism at work as in "we'll go so far, but not all the way" and that "all the way" is just one more step after nine already taken and it makes no senses to me as someone who is all or nothing. But the camera companies are all as bad as each other and each have their individual flaws. I just would have thought we were at the point (past the point) where at least one of them would simply cherry pick the pros of each, eliminate the Vons of each and bring something to market that is as flawless as it can be. These 'flaws' are more niggles than anything now for me. All the major brands offer all the tech I need or will ever need and I could easily and happily make any of them work; Nikon, Canon, Sony, LUMIX, so it comes down to personal choice and budget and there best choice for the latter is almost always the system you are in which for me is LUMIX/L Mount. The biggest example of conservatism/cost cutting within LUMIX is probably the reuse of the S5 body. OK, there S5II got an upgrade and the S1II and S1RII further upgrades, but how much more expensive would it have been to go another direction? Only they and other big manufacturers know but probably more than the bean counters were prepared to allow. The bottom line is there isn't really anything else I want (certainly nothing I need) but if I could choose just one single thing for my S1RII's it would be the same kind of mech as it already uses, but the screen size, res and brightness of the ZR screen. But that would then require either a larger body or a different type of body so I'm dreaming... -
It's quite easy to focus. Physically it's well damped and optically it's really sharp so the limitation is in how sharp the taking lens is and what sort of monitoring and peaking you have on the camera. Minimum FD is around 60-something cm, which I think is what the spec says. IIRC I tested it on the Voigt 17.5/0.95 and didn't really notice differences between that and other lenses, although I'm not doing much close up stuff. Yep, why stop down? 😄 Test shots here: More shots here: and here: The GH7 is a dream to use. The only "downsides" are it's not FF, it's physically large/heavy/chunky, it doesn't have a 1.25x anamorphic de-squeeze (so I use the 1.33x one which works fine), and the punch-in focus assist only goes to 6x. That's literally everything I can think of. That would only let me focus closer, wouldn't it? I don't find close focus to be an issue with it, just looking for something with shallower DOF. My Takumar 50mm F1.4 arrived today, so I'll be playing with that.
