Hi, I'm the author of the "Sanity" patch for the GH2. I just uploaded the last version to my Google drive, if anybody is interested in using it. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/157bZ_DRA0FzA-7QUWG3lXwQmfoTEtXQl?usp=sharing Here's a little background on why I developed it. When Vitaliy unlocked the GH2, there was a gold rush to create patches with very high bitrates. While the image quality looked great, those patches were terribly inefficient. I took it upon myself to create a patch that had the same top image quality, but at more "sane" bitrates. I can say with confidence that I succeeded, because I pixel peeped and compared the image frame by frame to the uncompressed output from the HDMI port. This way I had an absolute reference to shoot for. That was a long time ago, and I have long since sold my GH2. If anybody actually uses "Sanity", I would love to hear about it, just for old time sake!

Hopefully S1 II sensor not S5 II!

Really looking forward to this. If it has all the missing stuff... Articulated screen, IBIS, built in EVF, Sony-level autofocus, then I'll be getting one. A lot to pack into an Fp sized body but if anyone can do it, Sigma can. And $2500 would be absolutely fine for something like that with internal raw and a unique form factor that goes after the FX5 and gives it a good mauling. All without shareholder money too... Well done Kazuto san.

An FP with the S1ii sensor, tilt screen and IBIS for me would be done deal. Before the S1ii/S1Rii came out in basically a modified S5ii chassis…which I don’t mind, I had hoped and would have preferred the cine style body of the FX3. I tested and loved the concept of the FP-L but just too many compromises. I got why Sigma didn’t make a mainstream camera but at the same time, you have to have certain stuff or it will hurt sales. As far as I am aware, the FP has never been anything but a low selling cult camera. I don’t think a new model would change that scenario that much but surely at least addressing a couple of key areas is going to help in that regard. If this new camera is an FP2 and if it has certain features, I don’t think it would be enough for anyone to be chucking away whole systems to go over to, but for those maybe already in L Mount or for folks that only need one camera, it could be viable. It has to be a bit more than an S9 though…

Great piece of tech, both ; ) Irresistible. Love the colours.

Damn. After playing with the 7artisan 10mm, this camera looks so good. The electronic IBIS is working wonderfully and you don't hear any audio weirdness like with normal IBIS sometimes. The colors when you put the Log into FilmConvert are great IMO. About the 10mm, it's not perfect. For starters, there was quite a bit of play in the mount. I fixed it with a little electrical tape. However, it's super easy to focus and quite fun. The image seems quite sharp too.

I've been troubleshooting this new EOS-M build with Claude, and I think it's finally stable enough to share here. So, what is it? The "FilmGate" Build for the Canon EOS-M is an experimental remix of Amit Kattal's incredible Slim GUI build, designed for people who want to shoot raw video with framing based on real motion picture film formats. FilmGate offers: • Six film presets: Academy 35mm, A35 Anamorphic, Super 16, 16mm, Super 8, and Regular 8, with crop options including 16:9, 1.85:1, and 2.35:1. • B&W Preview Option: Displays the liveview in black and white on the LCD and HDMI output (recorded footage remains in color). • 18fps: Available for S8 and 8mm presets • 1080i HDMI: The camera stays locked at 1080i output for easier monitoring. • Streamlined menus: Removes or hides several less commonly used options. CREDITS This build is based on the work of many Magic Lantern contributors, including (but not limited to) A1ex, Danne, Bilal, and Amit. None of this would have been possible without them. I am not a developer and this build contains a substantial amount of AI generated code. It is therefore not intended for inclusion in any of the main Magic Lantern builds, in accordance with the Magic Lantern LLM policy. IMPORTANT This experimental build is only for the Canon EOS M running firmware 2.0.2. It has not been thoroughly tested yet. Expect bugs and glitches. Try at your own risk!
