Look really nice!
How does it do compare to the P4K and Arri? 

Interesting that BM fanboys got triggered after I post this on the Panasonic S1 group, something to do with guy not setting up BM camera correctly or something.
 
Fanboys 🤨

Btw u can downgrade firmware 
 
 

Got my hands on Red Komodo to test for a few days. I'm impressed.

Indeed, this is really impressive:
 
Here's another comparison as food for thought:
 
 

You are taking sentence out of the context.
Yes, a drive is not removable easily from the enclosure and, no you may not swap drive on the fly. It's like saying SSD are not removable media. Still, they are used everyday as removable media cause the interface is something else that what is inside the enclosure.

But this system is an enclosure for NVMe drive that will put the heat away from the card reader , allowing cheaper and very large drive capacity.
The heat generated by the card can be way easier dissipated than a CFExpress card. I actually have such enclosure for another project, it's all aluminium with a thermal pad around

And, by the way, you should talk to DJI; this is what they use on their Inspire 2 as drive.... But they change the connector type to be more sturdy.

If you look at ZITAY product, they already successfully implement such solution for black-magic camera, without a need for extra external power. (CFFast to SSD)
The product needs to be tested, but it specifically states R5 and Z6 / Z7 (and other C300 camera)
It have a screw thread to secure it to a cage. This will help dissipate heat.
And if you go for large version, it's a great option to reduce overall cost.

CFExpress card are kinda 512 GB max, with nvme you can go to 4TB for similar price. You unscrew the drive when you have 4TB of data, so, maybe one a day.

This product come with a cover to push the door switch and so let the cable going out. So the door will be open during shooting.

I have 0 test so far, but it's look great to me on the paper. I let you do some research on their website, and not just pick up sentences from a different discussion in a blog.

Btw u can downgrade firmware 
 
 

100%. No way a 12mgpxl sensor can cover my photographic needs, and I was shooting film (and S8) for years and years before even the Mavica (so I am not "digitally" spoiled).
I have decided that 24mgpxls are ok, and I am trying to decide if the R6 is enough..42mp are too much for my needs though, I am not specializing that much.
Maybe A7iv will be the answear to our prayers, 7Siii brings so many vital improvements to the A ecosystem, but still is not a true 50 - 50 hybrid, is a video orientated one that can take pictures, if 12 is your magic number, then some of you are going to be very happy very soon. I am not!

Holy shit, in full flesh is even worse.




 
No front dial, no joystick, almost no custom buttons, af-on in a very bad spot...

Sony was always kind of a ergo nightmare, but they outdone themselves.
 
 

thats pretty insulting to every real sheep out there...... you should probably be comparing those people to vegan steaks or hamburgers.....

Thanks for the comfirmation!

I am doing some stress tests.
No issues so far and haven't had any 'low temperature burns'...
This is the method in action during a field test...
This is a comment on Roger's heat emissions tests, my own findings, and the Canon PR remarks to Johnnie:

Seems like they knew about this battery hack now, just hope they dont patch it

And this thing cost more than A7III with way less spec!?  What was Sony thinking?! I bet price will drop to below A7III next year. 
And 28mm?! Good luck try to vlog with it, too bad Panasonic have the best lens for vlogger but the crappiest AF.

Thanks for the comfirmation!

Thanks for the comfirmation!

Just confirmed that the Date change "hack" is still live with New firmware on R5. 

Good news. 
My A7SIII is arriving early next week. If I like it, I’ll buy my reserved 2nd body. Awesome. 

Well I have done an about turn which went from initially being interested in the S5 to less interested to moving to it as my primary stills and filming workhorse.
In 20 years, I have only made one brand switch and that was 9 years ago from Nikon to Fuji.
Now it's Fuji to Panasonic (S5) + Sigma (FP) and all being well, a pair of S5's.
There's enough there to convince me it will suit my specific needs and do 'more' than my current Fuji system can do.
Pre-ordered the S5 (just one to start with to make sure with my own tests it suits my needs) with the 20-60mm 'kit' lens for initial testing before relegating that lens to wide angle duties, plus the bonus of a free Sigma 45mm f2.8 which will be going on a used FP when I have the funds in a month or so to buy one.
'Holy Grail' camera? Nah... Canon R5 without heating issues and maybe even R6 are 'better' as is the Sony A7S3 and undoubtedly the A74 whenever that pops up. And maybe even the Nikon Z6S, but all things considered (and there are many things unique to each of us), I think both this camera and the entire 'L' system are going to suit my needs very well for the next few years.

That's my workflow. i'm using the Sigma adapter for low light interiors if needed. And even with the fotodiox, no problem when cranking up the iso to 4000 (the second native ISO of the S1H and S5) if I am in the rush.

The Fotodiox ND Throttle Fusion adapter, looks pretty good
 
 

Speaking of stock congratulate to people who bought it yesterday as today it rebounds. 
 

I can't remember if I already posted this, but we shot this with mostly S1. Couldn't believe the quality of the image. Truly amazing.
 

Just got V Log yesterday so no nice whether to shoot under. 
50mm f1.2 Olympus here. No floating element so sharp at portrait distance and soft at infinity.
4:3 photo mode is.... excellent.
