    Joke aside, you're right about that kind of dishonest influencer comments, but you know what? real professionals or true enthusiasts just ignore those guys and know who to listen when looking for opinions.

    My big concerns with any Sony camera is the overheating and the LCD screen protector than tend to degraded on some cameras.

    xenogears got a reaction from GlueFactoryBJJ in Time to step up - Panasonic GH5 must go 6K Super 35mm to compete in 2016   
    A s35mm sensor with m4/3 mount is available in the JVC LS300 camera, so, yes, still a posibilty.
    But i don't think that Panasonic take that route, but yes the GH5 need to make a huge step forward to compete against Sony offerings.
    2.5k RAW recording, 13 stops, clean 3200 ISO and in body stabilization is what I'm waiting for the GH5.

    xenogears got a reaction from O photo in Final Cut pro X vs adobe premiere pro CC   
    Choose which you feel better, both are great tools; I'm a Adobe user but FCPX has been improving over the time and i really like the interface more than the Premiere Pro but I'm already used to Premiere.
    In your case my recommendation it go for the FCPX because is a lot cheaper and at the end both make the task.

    It would be nice if Andrew could do some test of this (if has the time obviously), because he has access to both (Shogun and NX1).

    ​Th new Sony PXW-X70 is a very good camera with a 1" sensor ($2300) or a used Sony FS100 with a s35 sensor ($2000 or less)

    xenogears got a reaction from Hitfabryk in Olympus EM1 looking for A or B cam, some ideas?   
    The Gh4 is my workhorse camera, is very easy to use, the battery keep running for a long time, many video recording options, long recording time, in camera 4k recording. Is a great camera for almost any situation.
    The a7s has a much lovely image, greater dynamic range, cleaner image at high iso. Is the camera i use when want to create a more artistic aproach, and a is a great photo camera too.

    xenogears got a reaction from yiomo in canon 24-105 f/4 vs sony zeiss vario tessar 24-70 f/4   
    According to metabones, the Canon 24-105mm F4 is manual only on the Smart Adapter III, i have the Zeiss and is not better than the Canon optically speaking and have focus by wire, but have a fast autofocus, OIS and smaller, this is something to consider. If you do not mind using the lens manually and only for video the Canon is a better option.

    xenogears got a reaction from etidona in Panasonic GH4 vs Sony A7S compared - who wins the 4K battle on paper?   
    I felt that the a7s was a little rushed product, maybe Sony has in works for a new fs100 generation (low light monster) until GH4 was appeared at CES, so Sony in a hurry put this sensor on the a7 and that is it.
    No internal 4k recording is a downer also the 4K hdmi output at 8bit; sure the FF sensor will give us a lovely image, but i feel that a DSLR form factor as the GH4 make more sense for prolonged video recording, and Sony maybe never could resolve the overheating due to the size of the body and maybe that is the explanation of why we don't have XAVC 4k recording in body.
    Personally for video the GH4 is a much more complete package and i'm sure it will be cheaper too.

    Andrew, I really have no words to thank you about all the test and the energy you invested on this reviews, with all the info you give us have made my choice easier, but now the ambient became dark again with the rumored Sony launch of the a7s, just when i have been decided to get the GH4 the shadow of Sony appears ;)
    Great times ahead.

    xenogears got a reaction from Jenkly in cheapest camera for perfect green screen work   
    The "cheapest: camera for "perfect" green screen work?
    Simple, The Blackmagic Cinema Pocket.
    Obviously you can do chromakey work with 4:2:0 cameras, this has been done for many years. but if you really are looking for the cleanest key do you need at least 4:2:2 and more if you need to key hair and translucency.
    My basic needs for a good key are:
    1. Lighting and subject isolation without spills.
    2. Sharpness

    xenogears got a reaction from zephyrnoid in Panasonic G6 Review - the GH2 Redux   
    Is good to see the improvements of the G6 over the G5, but i think the Nikon D5200 still a better option in that price range (body only).
     
    D5200 over G6:
    -Low light performance.
    -APSC sensor
    -24Mbit
    -Live Hdmi output
     
    G6 over the D5200:
    -Size
    -1080p @60fps
    -Video assists (Peaking, Zebras)
    -$50 cheaper

    Already working with Canon FD and Pentax lenses we hope for to come. Have a very similar reduction as the Metabones but till now we don't know how good the cristal of the lens will be.
