    IBIS is an excellent tool when it's needed. It's one of those features that's radically changed the game.

    IBIS just isn't a pro video feature. Blackmagic's brand is all about uncompromised image quality. I would agree that the Pocket is the one BM camera targeted toward the masses, but they won't stray far from their brand.

    Flip-out screen would be unlikely, too, because screens have always been where BM cuts costs. But a robust HDMI port would partly make up for that.

    True. If not flip out then at least the quality on par with the Ursa screens.

  3. I think the BM pocket cinema camera is a good example of cinematic image for under $1000. There's the process of cinema (movie making) and cinema image (what's seen on the screen).  Time is underrated expense, and I believe if you have time on your side anything is possible with minimal equipment. 10 yrs ago I would agree that cinematic image may have been too out-of-reach for most, in regards to the camera.

    Difference for me is unexpectedly significant image quality wise - GH5s is imo so obviously richer in color nuances and more detailed.

    But, strangely (?) GH5s samples are totally plagued with noise in lowlight test practically at any iso value. Maybe because of specific usage of vlog? I know about high native iso value for vlog, but dark sky looks horrible at any value in comparison with Sony.

    Where are you seeing the noise? It's surprisingly very clean from what I've experienced. Especially at the native ISOs.

  5. If you’re in it for the long haul I’d consider the Veydra Mini primes. They hold value better that Rokinon, although theyre more expensive. Optically they’re on par with the newer Zeiss super speeds.

    I don’t know, but while the long focus throw on the Veydras and other cine lenses is perfect for use with a follow focus, I would thing it would be too long for pulling focus by hand, which is what I think the OP is intending to do, if I’m reading his remarks correctly.

    The focus throw on the Veydras are nice bc theyre so small. The big cine lenses are truly a huge pain to handheld focus when they’re 300 degrees.

    Both of these articles State that the BMPCC Has 9 Stops of DR. Even less in ProRes. Even if you believe 13 stops, which it isn't, they show ProRes is even less. I rest my case. If you people really believe the bullshit that company's try to pass for fact I have a Bridge I am selling cheap.

    I am not knocking a BMPCC, I had one once. They are a special camera. But most of the cameras Really don't have the true DR they state they do. And all the cameras that have super DR, Reds, Arri's are getting it in Raw not some other Codec.

    These tests can be accurate, and honestly more accurate than boasted DR. BUT, you have to look at the perspective relative to other cameras. These are "usable DR". They rate the 5DII at 6 stops. I'm sure they'd rate the GH5 at 8, and the Ursa Mini at 11. Usable DR is a bit subjective.

    Aside from FOV, what about color, dynamic range and low light performance? Have you compared them?

    Not extensively. Low light on the GH5s I know would crush the UMP. I'm guessing color might be somewhat similar. DR range I'm sure is better on the UMP.
