    Sony seems to have better pricing strategy, but I'd say the S1II is still worth a premium over the FX2.

    ntblowz got a reaction from PannySVHS in HUGE Panasonic discounts on the S9   
    That price is with the new 24-60 which is not bad?
    Non of the other camera you mentioned do OG 60p so for OG users that is quite the moot point. But for general users who don't care about OG they certainly have more choices.
    Anyway with Panasonic there is always the fire sale after few months to a year, so for S1II I gonna wait for a year to see how much discount I can get.
    In the mean time I m rocking with S9 and S5II. Got them both cheap after the discount and free lens to boot (free 85mm 1.8 for NZ one)

    Just when u thought S1II price is a bit excessive, Sony is upping the game with the same 33MP sensor but add $1000 extra for a new body.

    I'm not really seeing any difference between any of them; S5, S1H, S5ii.
    Yes there are some very subtle differences such as that from the S1H is a teeny weeny bit softer due to the OLPF, but otherwise, nothing for me.
    There's some chatter about over-sharpening. I don't see it.
    There's some chatter about moire. I'm not seeing that either.
    Highlight roll off and blah di blah, - what are we shooting here with these things? Are we really comparing the results from our humble mirrorless cameras with Hollywood lighting, productions, lenses and budgets? I'm not, - to be even remotely in the ball park is hilariously ridiculous.
    Here's a screen grab from my S9 which is my principal run & gun unit, from last weekends wedding I am currently editing.
    A pretty dark hole of a room for bride prep and unless anywhere near that window, then screwed. It's SOOC and not touched it in any way; exposure, WB...nuffink. 6k 30p shot at 1/50th, 4000 iso, 5000 WB, Freewell ND 2-5, exposure otherwise eyeballed on the rear LCD with the wave form I rarely look at.

    ntblowz reacted to MrSMW in The Panasonic S1 II pricing is wrong, and so is the entire product strategy since 2018   
    Funnily enough, a former client from 2014 contacted me today to say that she had 'lost' her wedding video and did I still have it?
    After I stopped laughing, I thought hang on, it is probably still on Vimeo. And it was.
    I thought it would look so dated and be an utter cringe-fest, but actually it wasn't and I was a bit surprised.
    It was shot on the GH3.

    Tony and Chelsea are just excited for the chance to put out some sort of content other than Tony reading various rumor sites to the camera, dumb "what's the best camera" videos, sponsored software content, and insipid camera-vs-camera comparisons.
    Also, they seem to have made a huge mistake uploading that one to YouTube - they forgot to use the photo of Tony looking surprised in the thumbnail.  Seriously - they're really channeling their old stock photography days with that one.  It's on like 50% of their thumbnails.

    I have no idea how marketing really works or what effective marketing looks like (sales, of course, but I have no insights there).  But in theory, leaks get people all psyched to watch the release video.  It gets them free airtime on dozens of podcasts, discussions on tons of message boards, etc.  The real problem comes when the hype has been cranked up to ... well, a solid 7.3 (it is Panasonic, after all) and the release is a 4.
    If people are hoping that Panasonic is about to drop an S1H II and they come out with the S9, there's instead unhappiness and backlash and almost all of the release day coverage is people complaining about the camera.  And then, like the S9, people start to come around and say "Oh, that's actually a nice camera."  If Panasonic just teed up "we have a new ultra-small camera for creators coming," the day 1 reception might be delight instead of dismay!

    Absolute game changer for me personally. I haven't had to use my V-mounts in a minute since buying the LP-E6Ps and I got the grip when I went to go longer.

    Just like the Zhiyun light, they will come with silly fake leather trim and Cam Mackey's name plastered over every square inch of the camera, the strap, the case, etc.  They'll also have a filter that you can't turn off that gives everything a yellow tint.  

    The x model will come with a hat and it'll have built-in wheels and a special "X" button that makes the camera itself start doing sick burnouts in the sand.
    There will also be a special Gerald Undone edition of both cameras that will have a special extra-super-hdr mode that increases the rolling shutter to 41.5ms.  On this model, the leatherette will be purple.
    Finally, there will be a Matt Granger special pocket edition which is the same as a normal edition, but comes with some extra large pocket cargo pants.

    I'm running the camera and 7" Hollyland monitor off one V-mount, recording internally to a Lexar 512 silver CFexpress card. The camera battery is in the grip but fully charged. Camera is powered via usb-c and we are indoors so far about 20-21 C.
    The clips/takes are about 30 - 45 minutes each per interview.
    I *THINK* the overheating would be at extreme use, ( I have never had to shoot anything at 6k 60p or 120p in Pro Res HQ for 2 hours + in one take.....) but no issue so far with anything that I think is "normal" use!

    I live on the Detroit River... still plenty of Prohibition-era smuggling relics in this area- secret canals and tunnels and such. Maybe I should get a little dinghy and start making midnight runs for barrels full of bodies and lenses 😄
