I really hope Panasonic can do a de-squeeze in camera... and remember to crop the edges from 2.66:1 to 2.39:1 with the 2x glass

Scorsese said cinema's now officially dead. May as well be a theme park ride. Event a good director can't save the system... Duncan Jones on Warcraft. Peter Jackson on The Hobbit Part 10. Looking to Netflix to save cinema... They have picked up the Blade Runner style sci-fi shot by Bowie's son Duncan Jones, set in Berlin in 2050 called Mute. And more stuff good coming out soon. As for 2016... I am voting 5D Mark IV!

Exactly. One could be an absolutely brilliant filmmaker but produce dreadful colour from LOG footage, it takes years to learn how to be a good colourist. It's really a separate job altogether OR another thing to learn and to hope and pray you have talent for. Then there's the fact that all displays are different and you could be getting one thing on yours and people will be seeing quite another thing. I cannot believe for example that one of the guys on this thread really wanted to put saturation to the levels he did!! Must be something else going on. This is partly why I came up with EOSHD Pro Color to sort things out so that they only require tiny, simple changes in post to get the most out of the sensor. V-LOG is nice and all that but it so often goes horribly wrong - just like S-LOG.

This shot was the exception... very nice. Not seeing much detail in the shadows but the colour is great.

Ah OK I get it now, people on the thread are trying to break the footage. That must be why it looks so horrific. Either that or V-LOG colours are off.

That would explain it. Panasonic think I am a girl! Maybe I need to shoot my parkour and dogs before EOSHD can get a pre-production unit. Remember when they gave me a GH3... and a GH4... and invited me to feedback sessions... This time - nada. Maybe it was the Panasonic CM1 smartphone review?!

Dynamic range is more than just counting the number of grey shades at the end of a chart. It's how colour is handled, the roll off, the codec, noise, a lot of stuff. C5D say nothing about what is usable, what isn't. My Leica M9 came out 7 years ago and it has more usable dynamic range in the raw stills than the latest full frame sensor from Sony in the A7S II (which remember, Sony claimed had 15 stops!! Yeah right)

You only have green, brown and black in your grade. The blacks are crushed big time. I'd recommend starting from scratch and reading up on how to grade properly. There's already too much crap out there that has been graded terribly. You don't want to add to it... trust me.

Have you tried CVP?

Quality is mind-boggling. V-LOG looking a lot less noisy. Do you have anything shot on Standard though?

I am more disappointed with Intel and Adobe. Intel for not giving us any meaningful CPU performance increases for 5 years. Adobe for not testing their software on the new Macbook to ensure compatibility. Apple are just 'meh'... neither bad nor good at the moment... certainly uninspired after Steve Jobs left us.

Bit of a warning from James Miller: "The MacBook Pro touch bar has to be the worst Apple product I have ever purchased. £3,329.00 for endless crashes using Adobe CC products, renders that crash the graphics card resulting in green screen, lockups. The touch bar and the actual keys I really don't seem to be feeling the love for. Everything sounds angry whilst typing with these noisy keys. Fed up with pressing multiple times on the touchbar to adjust screen brightness and volume. Default layouts are rubbish on the touch bar and even when configured don't really do anything useful. Been an Apple user for ever but thats the last Mac I'm going to buy unless they produce something that actually works. 2.5hrs to render a 3 min red film on old MacBook Pro (2 years old) it takes just a few minutes." Sounds like between Adobe and Apple they have managed to truly embarrass themselves.

"6K/24p Anamorphic Video Mode, while fun, is severely hampered by its 4:3 aspect ratio" UM! That's what an anamorphic mode is - 4:3 Someone let our dear friends at Cinema5D know.

The Panasonic GH5 is now officially announced after the Photokina preview phase. Panasonic have released all the details, some of it a little bit controversial. Read the full article

How did you get such close focus with a projector lens, diopters? Very nice feel and mood!

On the Panasonic version you can use AWB. Only on the Sony version I recommend custom WB as Sony's auto-WB is rubbish.

6K setting on the top-left dial. Joystick on the back, nice touch. Redesigned d-pad / click wheel but I'll be using joystick instead. Full size HDMI port rumoured. I hope Speed Booster XL still fits the mount, and ridge above it seems lower?

Original clip looks a bit too colourful as well. Was saturation -5 in-camera? Nice final grade, but was contrast at 0 or -5 in-camera? Should be at 0. Which camera - GH4?

Yes it's all in the guide that comes with your download. Enjoy shooting with it! LX100 still great and I did the same as you, re-bought one!

Answer. Yes.

Just tried the EOSHD Pro Color for Panasonic LUT in Affinity with a raw still from my GH4... works!

Can't fault Canon's lenses, although Sigma EF mount lenses are often better value for money. Fact remains you can't take mirrorless lenses to a different system, so you are stuck with them and have to sell all of them if a new camera from a different system takes your liking. To date I have used my Canon lenses on - Blackmagic Panasonic Sony Olympus Canon of course Fuji (although no IS, AF or aperture control) And with Speed Booster they're even better on crop sensors than the native glass. I only use native glass when I need the best AF speed for stills, or the lens is pretty special in its own right.

How far have the modern camera companies come from the founder of Panasonic and his business principals - http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/16225/konosuke-matsushita-principles A long way backwards by the looks of it!!

It just goes to show that some pros will say anything. Literally just bullshit misleading drivel to get a pay cheque. It's as if reality TV is the new advertising blueprint for Canon. To think this video now has over half a million views and a sales spike in 80D's because of it... All because some dick is prepared to bare face lie through a sponsored video so he can enrich himself. And it totally undermines what we're trying to do, passing knowledge between us on the forum, testing cameras, putting time and money into reviews without any support from Canon at all. They can all go and fuck themselves. The video is so cynical. I hope Canon's dumb pro customers who don't know better do what Scott DickWanker says he does.... selling all the pro Canon gear for an 80D! That would be funny. If Canon want to encourage this, they could have at least fixed the moire and aliasing on it!

It may be that they have even fixed it as S-Gamut is supposed to be a standard colour gamut and having footage shot with all kinds of differently tuned S-Gamuts probably confuses the hell out of professional colourists! The FS5 is the same as A6300. As is A6500. A7S II however we can still play
