    • Over the past decade I've been a part of thirteen independent micro or no-budget budget films.  Five of which I'd actually feel comfortable enough to show to strangers and say, "I've done this."  It's weird because I've never been too precious about IQ. My personal-tech-craft-sloppiness-indifference does show in the final product, but only if you're looking real hard (at least I think so). I kind of want to be better, but I also don't really feel a strong pull to eek out that extra little juice, you know?  I'm more interested in trying to shape a story by putting a bunch of note cards on the wall in the writer's room. Anyway, I've held tight to my LUMIX cams since the 20-teens.  Also have an Oly cam.  Haven't bothered to upgrade much.  I know I'm missing out on the latest and greatest, but when I look at stuff a decade old vs. the film I just finished, and I think they both look a-okay, I guess I'm just not the type of filmmaker that's eager to change gear. Anyway, if anyone wants to see those five films I mentioned, let me know.  I've posted them here before, but can share anew.
    • A logical move I ‘d say. Better to have just one brand. I’d love the S1ii but I don’t see it being up to the task of events snd weddings during the Spanish summer. A shame but it makes me realise what a bargain I have with my S5iis.
    • EH FILMS gave an interesting take on the GH7:  
    • I am going to try Andrew’s free version and see if that works in any way for me. I need to take a look at Lumix’s LUT stacking feature as I need to burn it in due to the way I work, ie, bake in both the conversion and a creative LUT. Not down that before so will need to investigate… I also need to be able to do it for my stills from the same camera as everything needs to match perfectly going forward.
    • I looked at the R5C and the C80, - I looked at EVERYTHING, before pinning my colours to the Lumix mast, but nothing else either made the cut or was financially realistic. The closest based on availability today, would be a Z8 + Zf + pair of Z6iii’s and it was very very close… The Z8 probably just pips the S1Rii for me and for stills, the Zf easily beats the S9, but I still prefer the S5ii over the Z6iii for video…and overall, anything Lumix for video over anything Nikon. That might change in the future with the tie up with RED, but right now, it’s just 4 LUTs and Nikon video is lacking for me in 3 areas: no second card write back up, no bake in LUT and doesn’t have the multiple frame markers (I don’t think?) of Lumix. Canon had elements of my needs, but as an entire system was/is just too compromised and the cost to change was massive. I am pretty sure that before this time next year the game will have moved on, but I’ve got the opportunity to do something right now that suits me and will still have been a good move regardless of the future, so I’m more than happy with that.
