There has just been leaked the upcoming release schedule for their slate of movies:

I've heard that von Neumann will be 7hrs long. 

Even NZ get hit by the strike

Nice profit generating process there! 
Seems that Panasonic G7 sells for sub $300 these days on ebay
On the topic of Panasonics, was working on a film this weekend being shot on a Panasonic S1H

So there is a colour difference between E1 and A6700, kinda reminds me the colour difference between R5/R6 too
 
 

Here is a fashion shoot video I did with E1 recently, I m definitely impressed with the colour.
 
 

Thanks! I make sure my wb is correct, I also did custom WB with my budget vnd as it got this jaundice cast if using default WB set in camera, then add phantom lut with minor tweak in post.
I been using Capcut for those reels, it definite give finalcut and premiere a run for the money for reel videos, it can't do detailed adjustment vs those paid program but it's free and come with lots of effects to use.

Seems like E1 have tweaked the sensor a bit vs A7S3 in terms of noise
 
 

Just came across this, literally turn your eos m to cinema body. There is some disassembly and assembly required, but holy cow!
 
 

Anybody checked out the "M-LITE"? A 3D printed modification of the EOS-M:
  
oh snap....

So when do we expect that 35-150mm F2-2.8 to be on L mount? 😎  And their collection of primes.

Yeah I had the same concern watching YT reviews before I bought an R7, I think it's mainly the users though, not the camera. 
I have both the R7 and the Lumix S1 plus som GH5s. Definitely a bit lower DR on the Canon compared to the S1, but not a big deal overall. Watching where you put your exposure and doing a good rolloff curve in post is much more important than actual numbers in my opinion when it comes to DR though. Seems pretty close to the GH5s IMO

Of all the high-end jobs I've worked on using Arri's, not one of them was shot in raw. And I've never shot a single raw clip on any of my ZCams. You'll get a much better end result by spending extra time focusing on production design and lighting than you will by switching in to raw mode - and bigger productions know this.

Prores is good enough for 95% of professional use (or 99% if 4444 is available). The people here who complain about any new camera that does not shoot raw are out of touch with reality.

Interestingly enough, they've used Zcam on previous MI films...

Agreed.  
My impression was that there are three types of productions:
High budget feature films / flagship TV series
These have the budget to use high resolution RAW capture, high-end cameras and fancy lenses, significant budget for professional colour grading, to promote the film they get lots of media attention and interviews etc.  The process is overseen by professional folks who know how to extract every ounce of quality.
  Low-medium budget feature films / most TV shows
These don't have the budget for extravagances and shoot with only the level of equipment that is necessary for professional results, using lower resolutions and Prores, using solid but less remarkable cameras and lenses, get minimum colour grading budget, and get far less media attention (and basically no media attention for technical matters). The process is overseen by professional folks who know how to do the basics so that the result is solid but is delivered within budget .
  Amateur features / short films / cat videos
Devote more person-hours to their short film than major Hollywood feature films but spend that time obsessing over camera specifications and lens technical sharpness tests, scouring over the latest $100M feature film post-workflow and trying to implement every tool and technique, insisting on only the best.
Most of the time their lack of basic understanding means the result is worse than even very low budget professional productions. A quick search revealed that IMDB says that Game of Thrones was shot on Prores and mastered in 2K....  
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0944947/technical/
and more searching reveals that it was the first three seasons shot in 1080p, then 3.2K from Season 4 onwards:
https://thedigitalbits.com/item/game-of-thrones-complete-series-4k-uhd
I wasn't able to find any original source for the above, but it appears to be the consensus.  The fact it was shot in 10-bit 4:4:4 suggests it was compressed as RAW isn't 10-bit.  Prores 4444 XQ spec is 396Mbps so this is roughly equivalent.
Season 1 used the HDCAM SR format:

So yeah, Prores is good enough.

But if you are Christopher Nolan, you don’t have to be on social media to tout your wares because everyone in the industry knows your résumé.
And you can afford to fly to Ireland in your private jet to hand deliver the script to Tommy Shelby in person.
I was asked last week if I could drop in to Bordeaux next week to meet a couple who might be interested in using my services.
Yeah, 15 hour round trip driving so 2 days for a zero commitment chat. If they even turned up… 🤪
But otherwise no fan of social media myself, other than for 2 purposes.
A. Not having the status of Nolan, touting my wares to prospective punters.
B. Sharing pics with friends & family.
But I could happily live in a world where social media did not exist.

It is interesting that the same technology that enables modern life, also at the same time destroys us.

Just based on DR? That is pretty laughable 😆
But yes Canon mirrorless camera DR is not as good vs competitor, but cinema on the other hand is different story.

Oppenhimer also have the enhanced 1080p option
 
 

Even if you live in a timezone that doesn't exist!

Or live a vampiric lifestyle.
Or should that be unlifestyle..?? 🧛‍♂️ 

The Z8 as an APS-C video camera.
You can shoot RAW in DX mode, which crops the sensor and gives you 5405x3040 clips, better than 5K and much better than 4K. You can shoot RAW at the highest quality (HIGH), with the bitrates 1/4th those for 8K - so you can shoot 48 minutes at HIGH RAW on a 1TB card, as opposed to 12 minutes for 8K!
You can of course us DX (APS-C) lenses in those mode. For this video I used the FF Nikon Z 24-70 f4 lens. An advantage of the crop is that mostly one is using the center of the lens, so corner drop-off is irrelevant - most lenses from Nikon are really good in the center.
So, how does it look:
Think meerkats - habitat and inhabitants in their activities.
5K (5120x2880) frame grabs:
 

Oppenhimer also have the enhanced 1080p option
 
 

It's back!
I skipped through ARRIs YT channel to look for 1080p videos that had it, and I found a couple of interesting things:
ARRI upload videos in all sorts of resolutions, 4K, 1080p, 1440p, even 720p, even recently The 1080p uploads they did only have the Enhanced Bitrate option very recently - the 1080p ones uploaded more than a couple of months ago didn't have the option This video has it:
Here's a comparison.  This is the 1080p video displayed full-screen on my UHD display and then a screen-grab taken.
Standard 1080p:

Enhanced Bitrate 1080p:

Standard 1080p:

Enhanced Bitrate 1080p:

Oddly, it's not available on this 1080p upload, which is more recent than the above.
@kaylee  Do you have it enabled yet?

Ok...99.87%
