Man I guess the codec used by DJI is not as good as Panasonic/Sony, Sony also uses XAVC-S 60Mbps for 4K but it doesn't seem that bad?
-
Going to ditch pilotfly for this combo (hopefully they come with X5 bundle), I can finally leave the A7s to 28-135mm permanently lol
Hopefully they will add more lens in the future, like 25mm/42.5mm/45mm lens, with wireless focus you can get some impressive follow focus on the go with nice bokeh background
-
Remember more lens support will be added in the future, so the 25mm and 42.5mm/45mm fast prime will make it relevant, and especially with this handheld for zenmuse camera

Incorrect. The GH4 sensor doesn't have phase detection AF points on it. We know Panasonic fabricated the sensor, but it isn't the same as the sensor in any other Panasonic camera.
The MN34231 in the E-M1 is a variation of the GH4's MN34230 chip, even though on die itching it said MN34230 on the E-M1 sensor, but the rest of the spec should be the same (4K capable, high speed recording)
-
Why would you go with the EM1? The EM5ii is the more video focused of the two. Also, if you could hold off I'd wait to see if they come out with a new sensor for the EM1ii.
E-M1 seems to have less moire/aliasing than E-M5 II since it uses GH4 sensor, even though bitrate is not high. The sensor on E-M5 II is the same as E-M5 which is not really for video..
But E-M5 II with flat profile would be easier for color matching/grading though, with E-M1 have that too

Much better than the gh4. Its imo 12 usable stops given that the Blackmagic has 13 (which I use as my personal bench mark).
So in my experience it has the same DR as the c100 and D16. Atleast a stop more than the a7s. And again more than the gh4.
I have a g7 so I can do a comparing shot.
Laughing my ass off, I have shot with RED/BMCC/BMPCC, A7s definitely have more DR than BM's 13 stop , I have encountered some scene (pretty extreme condition) which BM get blown but still fine on A7s. I originally thought Sony probably have usable 12stops dr after reading "online test" but after seeing the actual footage me and DOP agreed A7s do have more DR than BM.

It didn't do Prores in 4K, so much for 4K4All.

Yeah, it's the accessories that are the killer. $6000 gets your attention as perhaps being attainable, but then its an extra $4000 for a 120gb ssd, a touch screen and a handle. They are taking the piss! This is the first time I've ever paid red any real attention. Do you have to use their ssd? or could you just get the 'brain' and provide everything else yourself?
You have to get their SSD, back in Red ONE days if you use non-red cf card you are restricted to 2K and up to 60fps, no 4K instead of 120fps in 2k and 4k.

And it is in EF mount so you can't add speedbooster anyway
-
True. They will review the OLPF I guess they'll need to.
Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 is plain enough. If you're able to add a SpeedBooster, you'll be fully fulfilled with.
Won't work, with GH2 (1.86x in video crop) the sigma 18-35mm and 11-16mm show vignetting on wide side.
-
So the sensor size is between APS-C and M43 sensor (similar size to Sigma Foveon sensor)
That means you lose the wide angle part a bit as it will be 1.7x crop size instead of 1.5x

Pilotfly H1+
In: Cameras
I own three steadicams. It takes about a month to get good at it - then it's pretty small tweaking.
costs $2k used. up to 10 lbs weight.
the gimbal once you switch the lens you have to tweak it? I don't know - never seen how effective these little guys are but with the steadicam pilot you can put a remote follow focus on it and use cameras like the epic and alexa mini on it when you want to.
With gimbal you can zoom in and zoom out and it still hold position, they are less sensitive in weight distribution compare to steadicam. And for the lens if they are similar weight the motor can tolerant some difference, I can change from UW lens to 50mm prime to 24-70mm lens on the go without tweaking the PID setting, the downside with not perfectly balanced setup is they eat more battery.

Pilotfly H1+
In: Cameras
you can also buy a steadicam pilot for probably less than these gimbals and it uses physics not electronics to work and takes a lot less tweaking to get right.
1. it cost $2795 brand new
2. it take months and years to get it right
3. still have to tweak it here and there.
4. big and heavy, inconvenient to go anywhere, especially if travel "light"
vs gimbal
1.cost $800 new
2.weight much less as no counter weight needed
3.once set you dont have to tweak again

it's just day two, slog2 also have ugly noise at +0 ev
I like the color from vlog already, doesn't have orange/plastic looking people of Cine D
but I do think an external recorder is what vlog really need
-
Yeah the 8-bit 100mbps codec is no match.
More like user error, quite a lot of user were disappointed with slog2 on a7s, the noise is too much compare to other profile unless you +1/+2ev over.
I can get more DR on 4:2:0 XAVC-S than 4:2:2 10bit on bmpcc on a couple occasion, that 14dr really makes difference.
-
Shame the updates are at least 1-2 years too late!
Better late than never! With the focus stacking for macro photography and 24/25p it get my interest again, since e-m1 is so much more affordable now! Beside it uses GH4 sensor no wonder video quality is better than E-M5 II's Sony sensor.
-
Never thought 12-35mm would look this filmic!
-
Does anybody have more info about its HDMI output, is it 422? 10 bit or 8 bit?!
4:2:2 8bit

They took firmware down

1. They are a foto company and so they havent enough videodeveloping engeneers. Since 1 year they have some more vidoe developer . result : EM 5 II.
2. It is a problem of their contract with Panasonic. The Sensor of the EM-1 can do more Video rates ( also 4K) but Olympus ist not permitted to bring
the results. As far as he knows the contract limitation was for 2 years. EM 1 enter the market in September 2013 so in September 2015 Olympus could bring a videoupdate with allowens of Pana.
i hope they do it
Looks like that Simon guy is right, the contract limitation expires this month so Olympus can do whatever it wants with E-M1 in terms of video capabilities.. though not sure if they gonna bring 4k or leave that for E-M1 II
Sony announce sequel to my favourite small camera of all time - the RX1 II is here with variable OLPF and 42MP sensor but no 4K!

For traveling I just take RX10 II, leave my A7S and GH4 at home lol. After some crazy shooting with primes back in the days I am now a zoom man again.
For that price I rather take A7R II ($2699 brand new on ebay) and 35mm f2.8 or 28mm f2.0 lens, consider none of them are small enough to fit the pocket anyway.
And if I am really keen to have FF P&S with money I rather spend another extra grand and get the real Leica Q instead. At least they wont release new model every year, plus that 3.6million dot EVF is world ahead of others.
