Dynamic range in the acting or in the camera?! I think Gale did a good job with it. The rest, especially the audio is not at the same level... but not exactly unexpected for such a quick shoot promo video. There are a lot of uncomfortable pauses in dialogue, as if the director and actors hadn't had enough time to get into the material.

I'm more surprised the pro A9 didn't turn up with 4K. A sony competitor to the 1D C. The rumours sites look to have got it totally wrong on that one.

​Thanks for posting Daven! I am hearing it will be weeks not months before the firmware comes out for V-LOG.

Am told by a close friend who was in meetings 6 months ago for this camera, that he gave the engineers 5 pages of notes on the mockup. It's just too dated! The control layout, the concept, the....everything.... it is literally a 10 year old DVX100 with 4K and a red backside!!

​I wonder who needs 365mm telephoto reach... Surely for documentary the 28-135 F4 on Sony FS7 would be more sensible. The stabilisation is 5 axis on the DVX200 but that zoom belongs on a consumer bridge camera with a big "20X!!" badge not a professional video camera. If they had made it shorter they could have also made it faster, not to mention a lot smaller!

​Shogun would take the raw, most likely. It is for other cameras. How else to resuscitate such a dud in the YAGH interface unit? And why is it on sale at Media Markt in Berlin alongside compact cameras? The mind boggles.

​Damn, wish there was a tiny Ninja Star style 4K ProRes recorder at NAB. A7S would love me for it. Where is that!?

​Even if they gave us raw via the YAGH only it would be better than doing nothing and not selling any YAGH LOL boxes. The one in Berlin near me is reduced from 2200 to 900 so I can't assume it has been flying off the shelves. Panasonic need to stop making silly mistakes. Before the YAGH came out I told them in a feedback session exactly what design it should have, and they went and made something completely ridiculous.

​Sexist - just you. Sexual - definitely not you!!

​This is 99% the way there, but Panasonic have made a very serious mistake. Should be interchangeable lens and Super 35mm. The market for anything smaller chip wise, with fixed lens, is a lot smaller and I don't think it will sell like the original DVX100 did. Panasonic are also crazy to give up on the AF line. AF100 was great. They just needed to update it, make it competitive with C300. Why didn't they? Varicam 35 is amazing but a totally different market and price point to C300.

​Good point and I hadn't initially realised the $2995 was for the cam with the old URSA 4K sensor in it not the new 4.6K one with 15 stops

There's a big download button in the middle of the Resolve 12 banner for me... but it serves up v11.3. Grr!

https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve Much fuller as an NLE. Still the best for grading. A lot to admire here. Thoughts?

​With the existing BM Pocket Camera Metabones Speed Booster it's no problem. I expect it will fit the new cams as the flange distance and mount is the same.

Bring on the dodgy colours from people who can't grade LOG! If it is slow to come out, maybe use the time to learn Resolve 12

​It's a great effort by Panasonic USA met by a half hearted 'meh' response by the Japanese firmware team

Blackmagic once again caused quite a stir at NAB with three new cameras. I like the URSA Mini best but here we have the old Pocket and Studio cameras reincarnated in a sexier body. These cameras are exceptionally innovative and certainly break a performance / size ratio of sorts! However although they look very similar on the surface, they are very different cameras for different types of users. I'll now delve into how the pair of 'identical twins' differ in terms of personality... Read the full article

Sexy though!!

Worth noting - The video was graded for the absolute maximum dynamic range, the roll off to the sun can be a lot smoother if you apply a different curve. All shots are V-LOG apart from '14 and '28 secs. Firmware was a beta version. "V-LOG-L" profile.

  Here's the first footage, from Hot Rod Cameras (follow on Facebook here) shot with a beta-firmware GH4 in V-LOG. The update is coming out later, but first we have V2.2 to look forward to almost immediately. This brings anamorphic support in 24p and more. Read the full article

​Neither does Weapon!

Yeah, the BMPCC is one camera where I'd actually be pleased to see a steady evolution not a revolution!!

Global shutter would make a lot of sense for the Pocket, as it's so often used handheld. Hope it is the updated 4.6K sensor with twice the sensitivity though and not the old 4K CMOSIS chip.

​Actually that shows how much we think we know but don't. I think they're Canadian and Australian!! But really, it shouldn't matter if they are green with antlers and from planet zog. It's none of our business.
