X-T30 with 18-55mm F2.8-4 would get my vote. Stabilisation works well. Image is perfect. Size is small. Feature packed. Not mega expensive. Nothing else gets close for the size and price. Olympus E-M10 III is newer and does it all even better! That would get my vote as well as the X-T30 although the Fuji is more advanced and feature packed, with larger sensor and much better AF and slow-mo 120fps

Canon are shit because they keep asking focus groups, and all of the people say "what is 4K" or "I edit on an iPhone" and "we don't need it". But marketing decide 4K is a box to be ticked, so it goes on when the cheap (and old) hardware isn't quite good enough for it, especially Canon's sensors which aren't using latest manufacturing methods. And Canon are a money making machine with no incentive to risk undermining a more expensive camera by making a good value for money one, at least when it comes to video because Canon knows video pros spend a fucking fortune. Canon are also a bit of a dinosaur, with senior Japanese management in their 70's and 80's who don't understand the modern tech world very well. ---- As for the HDMI output my guess is the HDR TV output is 10bit to support HDR displays... Whether the video output actually IS 10bit or in what HDMI mode you get HDR, I don't know. That page mentions "HDMI HDR output" and BT 2020 but for all we know it might be playback only. --- Ah next page: HDMI HDR Output Off / On An HDR display icon is shown when the camera is connected via HDMI to an HDR TV or monitor. HDR TV or monitor. Still photo: Supports RAW, C-RAW, and JPEG in single-image display. • Display is delayed by approx. 1 sec. for RAW and C-RAW images, which are processed. • Not supported during movie playback So the HDR 10bit HDMI is just for stills in playback mode... the HDMI output shows them in HDR mode on compatible TVs. Good move. I do at least rate Canon's lenses. I've been comfortable using Canon lenses on Fuji, Sony, Panasonic, Olympus and even Nikon bodies for a while now and only look back to Canon bodies when I want to shoot only stills, or see what Magic Lantern have done. My 1D C and 1DS Mark III are the best stills cameras I own when I need perfect AF via my EF lenses and long battery life.

Wow. Liked your footage a lot Zeek... What res was it before the upscale to 4K? Even my 4K screenshot of the YouTube frame has plenty of pop

Are these full sensor width, or a heavy crop?

Trusted source on the rumours site says: "It’s L-mount New Full Frame sensors Cinematography dream gear It’s built like a tank. Slightly bigger than the S1-S1R for better heat dissipation" So an Cine Lumix S1S to compete with a Sony A7S III. If it's a new sensor, I wonder if they went low with a 12-ish megapixel resolution for low light, or high for 8K or oversampling?

No, but you are. The Chinese industrial and tech revolution isn't ok with you is it?

Ford first to mass production. Trust the Americans to blame the Germans.

Considering that UK air pollution is entirely traffic driven, and only on certain days of the year in cities, you'll see similar in LA or New York as well. It'll come down, once we get over our oil and car obsession. Wonder where that started?!

I think the stuff at the back is just part of the rig, maybe there could be a battery plate there, to power the EVF. No sign of a camera body in that area and I think I even see a patch of the daylight between her head and the matte box where otherwise an EVA type brick would be.

Detail holding up very well from such a high resolution pixel binning sensor. The 5 axis IBIS has a lot of jitter and doesn't seem to be working to stop rotational jitter, but then it is shot by a talentless idiot. A well worn Tony thing is whenever he doesn't get invited with his fellow diva children of the camera press to a nice jaunt / holiday, he goes off on one of his rants making sure he name checks the company who smited the chosen one. The biggest names Fuji chose for the trip were Johnnie B and Gordon L, those well known celebrities of the camera kingdom.... Who will sit on the throne at the end? It's a fight to the death and there is only room for one ego in the YouTube camera review community.

Not sure what gave you that idea. You can't see the camera at all behind the massive matte box. Also the use of HDMI and the fact it's launching under Lumix branding would suggest an S1 form factor. If it were a EVA1 form factor there would be an SDI cable going into that nice Zaucto EVF they are using from an SDI port on the camera.

Yes sure. Tell that to the people of Michigan and those living close to the Mississippi River. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2019/may/06/cancertown-louisana-reserve-special-report

Deregulated environmental destruction, and diverting tax revenue from schools, hospitals, etc. to fund obsolete and dirty factory jobs, more like.

If it reaches £5k used, I will be on a plane faster than Donald Trump going to a rally on Airforce One But before I book the plane ticket, better be mindful of the dead mount of Fuji, Leica and Panasonic, those really dead and unsuccessful camera companies!

Enhance. I see a Zacuto Gratical with HDMI cable, SDI not used. I see a large matte box with small camera behind it... But follow focus is in a weird place, doesn't seem to be near the lens?

I agree, two models would be good, if the lock mechanism isn't possible. If they take it out, it's an instant no-buy for me.

Partly in return for Fuji's material science contribution to ISOcell sensors perhaps?

So this is the paid update then? H.264 MP4 4K 25/30p 150Mbps (4:2:2 10-bit, Long-GOP, LPCM) H.264 MP4 4K 24p 150Mbps (4:2:2 10-bit, Long-GOP, LPCM) H.264 MP4 FHD 50/60p 100Mbps (4:2:2 10-bit, Long-GOP, LPCM) H.264 MP4 FHD 25/30p 100Mbps (4:2:2 10-bit, Long-GOP, LPCM) H.264 MP4 FHD 24p 100Mbps (4:2:2 10-bit, Long-GOP, LPCM)

Well at least the firmware update will fix the audio codec. You're never going to get the best audio quality through internal pre-amps anyway, always better to use an external device. The audio circuit inside a camera has a lot of other noise from electronics and heat to deal with. I think Panasonic are holding a few things back from the $2k S1, for obvious Cinema Lumix related reasons! That camera might be $4k or even $6k though, so at least you are saving some money by going with the S1 and it's minimally crippled video feature set. It's far from an EOS R. No crop, anamorphic aspect ratios, great codec, internal 10bit, soon to be 4:2:2, high bitrates, 4K/60p Super 35, hardly lacking for a stills camera is it?

Hope they don't leave out IBIS like they did with the GH5S.

Still people find a reason to complain Unbelievable.

How do you know this dude? Panasonic haven't announced the details yet. Yes, from a 2x crop sensor. Still impressive though but it is $2000 before you have added all the spidery shitty un-ergonomic bits.

Anamorphic lens users might want to look very closely at their Panasonic S1 menus, and even the manual on page 143. Read the full article

Impressive indeed. 200Mbit 10bit! There is a very small crop in the 6K mode. Let's call it 5K actually, because that's what it is. I still don't know where Panasonic get their 6K from!? With K you only measure horizontally. The 30p is a shame... I wish it were 25p at least, to avoid flickering in PAL countries and get it closer to the cinema look of 24p. I think it's worth waiting for the V-LOG update, which should bring a similarly high bitrate to the 4K mode... As well as 10bit 4:2:2 not just 4:2:0. Hopefully they will also add an anamorphic mode... if the Cinema Lumix camera doesn't get there first, that is!

The US has transitioned very successfully to a services based economy. I don't understand why so many Americans want the polluting labour intensive factories back and to plunder the land for massive amounts of raw material. That's why you have China, they are willing to do all of this and pollute their environment, so you don't have to, and so your kids can go to a nice school, get a good education and have a nice job that doesn't depend on manual labour. Other European countries are not in bad shape either. Like the US industry, Germany has maintained a lot of high skilled manufacturing and services. Premium car manufacturing, premium technology products, Leica, etc... It's far better than industrial component manufacture for cheap goods, believe me. London has a booming creative economy and massive financial sector. Sure, the steel industry is close to collapse... But it employs a tiny fraction of what a single shop chain does in the UK... So why does it matter? As long as these people can get satisfying jobs at other companies and the economy continues to grow, and we import steel... it doesn't.
