At work we use NTG2 which is not expensive if bought 2nd hand ($150?), we connect to Zoom H6 or to the XLR port on the C100MKII or on the GH5's XLR Adapter. I think Sony also have their XLR adapter for the Sony alpha camera?

Yeah I had VideoMicro for more than 1 year and it done the job pretty well, the sound quality and size is nice for the budget! but for interviews i only use wireless lapel or proper shotgun mic on boom stand, the audio quality difference is very big ! Unless you are up and close with the interviewee which means the mic is not too far off from the speaker

Yeah most of the bad one are the VideoMic ME and VideoMic Go, I was confuse when they said power button broke or somethig but videomicro doesnt have had buttons! Then I just realised it was for other Video Mic

Oops It seems a bunch of other Rode Mic was put on the same review, the one on BH is just for Video micro.

If you notice a lot of 1 star review on amazon is because they use it on the freaking phone that why.

When you have mortgage to pay and family to feed #2 always But if you are trustfund babies who dont have to worry about living or just do video for "fun/hobby" then #1 lol

I never looked at Canon before so don't really know their value. Auckland Panasonic GH5, use it for video of course (also got job doing full time video production, they use canon cinema cameras) Yeah FS5 and A7S color is not that great( I had them both), A6300 and A7RII I used to have definitely have improved colour scene.

I actually done that, buy cheap stuff in Oz and sell on NZ lol, but I haven’t try canon camera as I m not too familiar with their market value but I do notice the downwarding trend of camera listing over the past years, they definitely not as hot they are used to be, so I am also downsizing my gear collection as I fear they will depreciate even more.

There is no ebay NZ, they tried to get in few years ago but our local auction site is firmly rooted to kiwi mind lol

Man need to get some 5DIII from Oz and sell it here, few hundred dollar profit! Too bad in NZ you can't post stuff with battery to overseas unless using the most expensive courier option. Is RX1R II for US$2200 and Leica SL for US$3500 a good price? Both of them are at our local auction site right now

Here are some snapshots 1NZD = US$0.7 = EUR 0.60

SAR is a fucking joke, it more like Sony Press Release (SPR) instead of rumors as Sony pretty much killed the rumor bit after the hacking scandal. The Sony camera in here doesn't hold value, A7S with movecam cage sold for $700, two A7RII sold for $1600ish this week and few weeks before, while 5D3 can sell for more. Same for Canon 6D which can sell for high $$ than A7II, not many a7sii for sale so I guess people still hold on to it.. until A7SIII or A9S released lol.

Guess DL is their own propriety lens mount

Because Nikon one is dumb adapter ie no electronic contacts unlike Canon version

It actually similar size Canon's APS-C Sensor, so using MFT mount is definitely possible

The new HLG gives u pretty good highlight recovery. (From panasonic gh5 fb page)

The last time I watch "indie" films is when I was at uni Now I dont even have time to watch proper films, let alone indie stuff! (<5 min shorts I still do occasionally)

Detailed autofocus test Face Detection is finally usable for Video!

Official V2 firmware out! http://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/dsc/download/fts/dl/gh5.html

Just bought the app, it is really cool!

That why some of us use Olympus lens, the dual clutch focus ring design is the best of both world.

lol damn my intention has been blown, though same can be say to smartphones, some people spend $1000 per year on new phone for the latest and greatest and some only spend after their current one died.

Not really, some of us with full Sony gear and lens dumped to get GH5, though some just use the same lens on GH5 using adapter, if you do medium to high budget video instead of ultra low budget each time it is really not that hard to be honest It's business and for PROFIT for some us and not just a hobby.

Like now the Video AF have to be good because people can't focus themselves anymore all of sudden. I'd say we are getting spoiled lol

The current rumor is A7III will be announced near the end of this year and start shipping early next year (A7II was announced in Nov 14 and shipped in Dec 14) I bet A7RIII will probably come out around summer 18 and A7SIII in fall 18 (a year from now on) Looks like they are turning A7 to 3 year cycle instead of 1 year compare to original A7
