Now there is 200D which is a true mini 80D lol

Well I dont shoot raw and doesn't care about it, this cam will be used for client or temp assistant that don't really know how to operate camera, so touchscreen dpaf will be huge help lol.

Basically same function as EOS-M5 for half the price, minus EVF and EIS but comes with fully articulated touchscreen and same DPAF! Makes me want to ditch A5100 for it.. the only Sony camera I have left, even in winter it still overheat arghh

The footage should be much crispier than the one we saw from low res phone quality shacky video But man don't you wish you have the 150-600 for this kind of thing

Similar thing happens to some TV production, and why some of them switch to Varicam from Sony/Arri... less light setup needed!

Yeah, even 2.5mm is fine for me as long there is mic-in! if Sony can do it Panasonic can definitely do it

Here in NZ it is easy to setup 1 person company, pay the registration fee and you are set

Well according to some gossip around the industry in my area, those people who can open the company at CBD area which rent is quite high right after they just finish uni is mostly because they have 1.rich daddy 2.trust fund, hence they can afford RED Weapon or FS7 or even Phantom camera in no time. Though position yourself up is the better to get more income gradually , sometimes use monthly payment instead of paying full at once to buy gear to get around cash-flow problem. But yeah now our company does 5 figure jobs and dont really do 3 figure jobs, usually we just leave those jobs to other freelancers who are willing to do for cheap.

From GH5 try and experience event in Taiwan today, they said firmware to improve GH5 Video AF will be up around September.

But the the people drooling over your gear is priceless! Yeah I feel you, FS5 quality is not up to par the price you paid, except the slowmo and ergonomics and look pro to clients. (Even then I still have people thinking I am shooting photo, probably because of the lens?) I use C100 II almost everyday, I still shoot MF cause I have seen the camera focus shifting/hunting with it during events when I use AF. I just don't get the praise about Canon AF to be honest, consider if there is many face/crowds on screen the camera have no idea who to follow.

We just finished a MV with GH5 and Zhiyan Crane, using Olympus 12mm f2, Pana 25mm 1.7, Pana 42.5mm 1.7, Voigtlander 17.5mm 0.95, footage look pretty good, shoot everything 4K50P, We did have Sigma Art lens with Speedbooster but doesnt use them at end since it mostly shot on gimbal with few handheld on Voigtlander lens We can change the 3 primes without rebalancing the gimbal which speed up the flow. Having a good gaffer make scene look so much more amazing and higher production value.

Ever since I got IP7+ I dont use cameras much to take photos, I got the smallish A5100 which is excellent photog/vlog camera with good video AF, though I mostly use it for timelapse and astro photography which dont use AF at all. Most of the time I just use the phone, you can get zoom and nice fake bokeh, video quality is pretty decent and always with you. My mate's GF use her rx100iv alot, the a7s has been left in the cabinet pretty much. Pretty sad to see A7S from most used to shelf warmer in few months time.

Not a problems, at work we used C100MKIIs and 5D for photo/timelapse. for my own I use fs5/a6300/a7s/a7rii, though soon will be all panasonic

yeah finally! https://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/premiere-pro-11-1-2-available-today-ciritical-update-highly-recommended/

I think log profile tend to flavor over exposure while non log profile prefer 0, when I shoot with Sony using normal profile (ie not slog) I try to shoot at 0ev or slight under, its quite ugly on the skin tone if over exposed. Here is an example on C100 between standard and log, you loose 2 stops(?) with log profile

wonder what stops them using f2.8 or higher for using AF on video?

Definitely interested on getting one

Yeah, will be great for more demanding clients! C100MKIII with XF-AVC & 4K will be the ideal camera, but who knows when will it come out

Well most filmmaker got variety brand of cameras, they tend to use Canon lens with speedbooster/adapater on Sony/Pana/BM etc so that not a huge concern. Wasn't there some guys say there is no point invest in M43 when you can get FF lens to use on a lot of camera? And native lens only use flybywire which MF is really bad, while Canon lens have proper MF (except STM lens)

Since we have C100MKIIs its only nature to get C200 since they use same battery etc/color etc, RAW will have no use for our company most of the time. (Cover corporate event for whole day and highlight video by next day), 4K is what we need as more client demand 4K now.

I think 95% using MP4 is very realistic, on average we bring in hundreds of GB footage per day in MP4 (sometimes much more if we have lots of shooting at once on difference location), can't image what RAW will gonna bring.. no one is gonna shoot raw on live event/interviews etc.

Mercer is from one man band with low to zero budget production and unlimited time so he have different requirement than most people who do video as full time job and have tight schedule For our company c200 is more preferred since its mostly internal video or YouTube/Vimeo, but for me if I want to be projects to be shown on TV/Netflix EVA1 is more suited for me need. (After using c100 for those boring jobs for sooo long my mindset is set, Canon for boring corporate stuff while sony/pana for exciting projects lol)

Could be next year as there is rumor about A7III coming in nov

Definitely the camera I want for myself! Time to sell a7 and fs5 for this! c200 lack qualifying codec for broadcast is disappointing
