Somehow I missed this promo short film, its kinda brilliant in how it showcases a lot of the features in a pretty creative narrative, really liking the overall image from this new sensor:
 

No translation, but you don't need to.
 

Or is Mackey playing Depp playing Mackey...

I feel like this is a supercharged version of Sigma Fp

Na never, they are format standard competitors

Recording 2 different ratio (1:1/16:9/9:16 etc) to 2 card... that is something new!

Nikon rumors have the image, that screen look quite big.
Not sure if this one have fan cause I didn't see any air vent

Time to revive that 18-135mm usm with power zoom add on.
 
With that thickness and lots of vent this one wont be overheating at all, Lumix really need to take a cue on it

You are welcome. 
 

There is, car wobble, and thermal won't be as good as sensor sticking directly to thermal plate.

53 minutes recording 6k 30p continuously 31 degrees Celsius in the shade before the heat warning came on but it kept rolling and the speech ended before I got to experience a shutdown.
Not too shabby!

You forgot Chris and Jordan LOL

Cue all those who recently made, ‘Why I moved to Lumix’ pieces on YouRube gushing over the S1II, scrabbling for a piece of the Canon pie. Or Nikon pie. There’s 24 hours between the two so plenty of time to choose which ship to jump to next.

Received the V780H EVF today to try with my Canon C70 (and Feelworld F5PROX monitor) but unfortunately I can't get it working properly with these devices. I've tried powerin the EVF via the included HDMI voltage injector (5V via USB, using several USB power supplies) but this didn't make a difference. Canon C70 HDMI out is set to 1080p and "Linked to HDMI Monitor" is set to "Off".
Canon C70 -> EVF = not working
Canon C70 -> HDMI voltage injector -> EVF = not working
Canon C70 -> FeelWorld -> EVF = working, but EVF image is strobing/flickering
The EVF itself does work when connected to my MacBook (but I wasn't able to make it work with the FeelWorld monitor in between.
MacBook HDMI -> EVF = working (1920x1080@60fps)
MacBook HDMI -> FeelWorld -> EVF = not working (resolution 960x540@60fps, 1920x1080@60fps, 1920x1080@60fps (low resolution))

Had a fun time trying out my X-M5 micro cinema rig on a low budget, 3 day music video shoot last week. No overheating or issues of any kind shooting 6.2k prores raw in open gate mode to an Ninja V+. Insane what this little guy can do for an $800 purchase (body). 
 
 

That is all.  Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Had one of my first intense shoots with the S9; this was a concert with a well-known rapper in the Christian Music scene.  Used the Panasonic S9 with my Sigma 18-35 (haven't sold it yet).  So was using the APSC crop mode; honestly this is a great faux-APSC camera, image quality still phenominal and noise performance isnt bad.  I filmed using the 3.3k 4:3 mode which is lovely and allowed me to really easy make a 9:16 edit while still framing for 16:9 or 2:35:1 as well.  It's nice too that I can do 48p or 60p without a FOV increase.  I am content with this mode so don't have a massive urge to sell my Sigma 18-35 and get proper full frame glass.  Eventually i will though.  Double aspect ratio markers on the S9 is sweet; I had a 2:35:1 AND 9:16 aspect ratio marker going at once making framing for both mediums so easy.  IBIS is so good; I filmed 90% with e-stabilization set to high; this did crop pretty heavy but you forget about it when shooting, and the performance was so good I rarely had to post-stabilize and could easily replicate gimbal tracking shots with a heel-toe walk and holding the camera a bit loosely.  The cage and hand-grip definitley helps, and I don't find the camera to be uncomfortable; the Sigma 18-35 is definitely front heavy, but the setup is still a lot more comfortable than my old Z6 with the Atomos Ninja V bolted on.  I will say over time the smallrig handle seems to come slightly loose so i have to tighten it every now and then, but when not shooting I also tend to hold the camera in one hand by the grip.  
Other notes:
Battery life is great.  Only used two batteries for the entire shoot filming multiple concerts over a few hours.  Didnt' even fully run through the second.
Lack of viewfinder is not a dealbreaker for me as I only do video; screen could use to be a bit brighter but still usable in direct sunlight.
The rear dial feels so cheap; you can easily nudge it half-way between its click points.  I don't like it.  At least it's very functional.  I do find the function button placements to be good, and i can efficiently change settings.  A joystick would have been cool. 
Lack of hot-shoe a non-issue for me as I am 98% video.  If I really need it I can whip out my Nikon Z6 for photo work.
Camera never overheated once, and it was a very hot day.
 
Definitely love this camera.  I do see myself picking up an S5 II on ebay down the line, but I don't see myself ever needing anything better; just would like weather sealing and a more robust build.  But the S9 is still totally usable as an A-CAM and can work really well in that capacity if your needs are comparable to mine.  Given that I paid $860, its easy to overlook the flaws of this camera.
 

OK, decision made, flipping the S9 and an S5ii plus a lens, for a second S1RII, - it's worth it to me.
4 bodies down to 3 from what was 5 at the start of the year.
9 lenses down to 6, down to 5. I'm hoping to get that down to 3 at some point in the near future...
3 camera brands down to 1 (already happened)...but need more batteries because this S1RII is a power hog.
I'm one of those that normally scoffs at folks reporting crap battery life and can normally exceed the official numbers by a factor of around 3, but with the S1RII, only by about 1.5.
I now have 12 batteries and have 2 on charge at all times and as soon as Llano have the Lumix battery charger with built in power bank available, will have one of those in my bag.
But the power issue aside, I think it's a bit of a no-brainer to me and really it comes down to one single factor more than anything, - e:shutter, - I hate it (for stills) and am going back to mech shutter only.
The Sigma 28-45mm f1.8 is great by the way. Not quite as big or heavy as I expected, or at least no larger or heavier than expected, fast, very well built and no frikkin' extending zoom!! I'm just hoping they make a longer focal length version and then I really would be set for the remainder of my career.

Here at a camera store in Berlin we have the 3 musketeers.
2012 vintage RX1R OG, the one without the AA filter.
It's very nice and I can't understand why it only goes for $900 used. Because it's got a much better lens than the Leica Q.
No red dot though.
RX1R II, the one with the tilt screen, phase-detect AF and pop-up EVF. It also shoots 120p, albeit no 4K. It also has a further innovation - the AA filter can be switched on and off.
This was Sony when they felt they needed to catch up with Canon and Nikon by really pushing the boat out. 2014-2015 vintage Sony. The $2000 mint condition used RX1R II is reasonably rare but when you do find one, it's still cheaper than the Leica Q OG and closer to the Leica Q2 in terms of image quality.
The pop-up EVF is mechanically a thing of beauty and offers a big field of view. Although without a rubberised eye cup, it isn't the most ergonomic or comfortable.


So to the new one, the one with the 10 year gap.
Sony have made sure to price it so that nobody buys one, which is good because they want you all to buy E mount lenses.
Just to summarise the street prices:
RX1R: $800-900 used
RX1R II: $2k used
RX1R III: $5100 / 4900 euro
The lens is identical to the previous cameras.
Which is fine to be honest, but I had more issues with the AF in macro mode on the RX1R III vs II. Weird.
I also dislike the finish and build quality, doesn't feel as premium. It feels a bit like the A7CR. Not great and nowhere near a Leica and the RX1R II also feels more premium. I do prefer the buttons though on the new camera, they are raised for a more tactile feel.
Gone is the pop-up EVF, in place of it a smaller standard one. The resolution of the live-view feed is better, but the overall optic is worse and more pokey.
Gone is the articulated screen. Which is a really weird one.
In comes a fatter battery - very welcome.
4K is there with no crop in 24p/25p... However, there's no IBIS or even OIS, which is a downer.
The AEL button has changed to an AF-ON... Again a welcome change, because the first two models had no back-button AF at all. Well done Sony.
So if you're looking for a full frame compact, the first two models are a steal.
I got the RX1R II again.
I regretted selling it the first time out!

Torn now...
After 2 full jobs fully Lumix, I'm thinking I might just flip the S9 for another S1Rii, - 2x same bodies, weather sealing, twin card writing, option of mechanical shutter, same colour, 7.2k 30p open gate, potentially Arri log...
The Sigma 28-45mm f1.8 is on it's way and would be bolted on to one unit and the other, flip between the Lumix 18mm and 85mm f1.8's making the 50mm f1.8 redundant.
I think I'd do it today but for the cost so will have to think about it some more, but it's very likely.
Still to use the video side of the S1Rii but based on my experience with the S9 and S5ii's, I already pretty much know what the benchmark is and that the S1Rii will exceed that.
Makes the loss of the A7RV and Zf slightly more palatable!
