@Márcio Kabke Pinheiro I agree with @Video Hummus. Panasonic has been giving slight hints here and there, about the GH6. I guess till the head of product launch or the head of Lumix doesn't say it, nobody can mention anything, officially. The S5 is also great in terms of pricing, because it means that the GH6 will have a price correction. The only question, though, would be by how much (I am guessing between $1500-1750, if it doesn't add some insane video features, or hardware feature, almost never seen before). I am guessing Panasonic may add 1080p at 240fps and 4k at 120fps. Also, finally full Vlog (and maybe 6k at 60p). I am guessing Panasonic may give us Hints about the GH6 on 2nd of September, during the S5 launch. Though without giving away features to expect. Only that they havent abandoned the M43 lineup or the GH6.

Yes, true. I am curious what the % improvement in battery life will be.

It probably indicated that the GH6 has not been abandoned and is on track. Also, that it's battery life will be improved, compared to the current battery, without change in size.

"Panasonic S5 set to challenge Sony A7 IV, pencilled for September 2nd reveal" This suggests the Achilles heal, the autofocus has been Fixed. "Whatever Sony have up their sleeve, it better be good because I know what full frame camera is coming next from Panasonic and it’s mightily impressive, more than you expect." This 100% confirms that the autofocus handicap had been fixed (and that it will be the first camera with the New Autofocus Transition), and also a few kickass new features too (multiple options for focussing like a proper gaffer, on film shoots). Way better image in photos. Maybe a new (higher resolution) sensor and/or much faster photo burst modes. I also suspect an improvement to VLog and or 1-2 VLog standards.

Do it before Panasonic, otherwise they will throw out an entire team. It will be like the Superman Scene from the Christopher Reeves superman film, where the artist destroys the Leaning Tower of Pisa after it is straightened and turned to tilt back again. Btw, congrats on this. I saw the video. Looks quite promising. Also the price and size seem great.

I am guessing, that, per mm of real estate, ILC sensors are a lot more expensive than smartphone sensors. Especially considering, that the smaller the size of a sensor, the lesser wastage from the original wafer, from which it is cut. That is one reason why larger sensors are a lot more expensive too. Plus even by real estate, considering that most smartphones nowadays have 3 sensors or more, smartphones sensors probably sell a lot more than any other sensor category. So maybe that's why Samsung realises, that ILC sensors are probably, not that profitable. And they don't want to be in a market that is more niche. I guess you're kindda right. Wiring of the sensor would determine both bit depth, and dynamic range. So theoretically, if a smartphone sensor and a medium format sensor, both had the same pixel density, same bit depth, same average voltage (at the pixel level?), and similar processing, then the smartphone and medium format camera should both produce similar dynamic range, as well as exposure latitude. Obviously cooling, like you mentioned ensures that processing isn't hampered in any way, thereby compromising image quality. When the GH5 came out, I noticed that DXO Mark rated it at 13 stops of dynamic range, which was more than many APS-C and even a few FF sensors.

They did reach 24% Market Share for one of the quarters this or last year. Also, Samsung has planned to reach 50% Market Share (not sure if it is 5 years or 10 years), so it has no reason not to be ambitious.

That's a pretty interesting question. I am guessing it's perhaps a mix of both. That's why the 24MP FF sensor is shared across the board (with Panasonic not having it with PDAF), and each of the manufacturers has different dynamic range and slight tweaks here and there. Whereas the 26MP APS-C sensor is unique to Fuji, so maybe they got lucky with the sensor size and wafer pixel density. Circuitry perhaps helps determine bit depth among a few other things. It may have to do with cost cutting among other things. Am quite curious why Samsung doesn't make image sensors for ILCs (since it was already making its own ILC sensors). And it is officially the 2nd largest image sensor maker, after Sony. It could easily eat into Sony's ILC sensor market share.

It's not there in the Sony A7siii either. It's apparently no big deal.

I see it as a lower priced S1, with a few extras. It had Reliability as the USP, right now, along with 10-bit video. The G100 seems to have cut too many corners. They could have just put a smaller sensor with IBIS in that. Plus the added crop and other bits, and other things just made that camera seem half baked.

Did he also share a video. Forget I asked. I saw some guy's post mentioning that someone else tested it. And with some results.. Maybe a youtube video would be more interesting.

It's even smaller and lighter than the GH5, and it still retains "Contrast AF system DFD technology". Which means it's a cheaper S1, with the same features and lower resolution EVF (?) , and a few corners cut. Which isn't so bad. No wonder the Panasonic guys found the overheating issue on the R5 (and R6?) difficult to digest. Hopefully Panasonic hasn't forgotten the M43 lineup.

Thank you. There are some artefacts on 1-2 leaves. Maybe they were due to fingerprints on the lens (or perhaps flair, due to sunlight from a certain angle). The artefacts on the back maybe were due to the fact that I was very close to the flower. Are you referring to the vignetting or depth or field or something. Aaah ok. Maybe it was due to camera shake or something. Maybe you didn't hold the camera, in this shot, that steady.

Is this from JPEG or RAW. Dynamic range is impressive but the noise reduction is quite aggressive.

My old very phone pic. With a few tweaks.

Interesting and very shady. So, theoretically, it can be hacked to get rid of an artificially controlled/handicapped recording limit.

You know someone who has committed rape, murder, genocide, hate crimes or something similar. So you're saying that you won't call him out because ... there are other people doing these too, and they're apparently, common. So because, according to you, many people do these crimes, it's not really a big deal. Wow. What an amazing argument.

Hahaha. Thats probably a first.

And his ignorance made him win Round 1 against RED which probably hired lawyers who charged as much per appearence, as most middle class Americans make in a year (and I am guessing way more than you make per appearance, if coursework is your forte). It's the same company that won the strangest Patent suits against Apple and a host of other multibillion-dollar corporations. He's not going to be listing precedents, and all provision of law online. Or structure his actual arguments either. People are already whining that they can't understand anything, they will probably start jumping of off buildings, if he makes it any more technical. Well said.

Hehehe. He is not a journalist. He is a activist consumer who has been forced to fight against RED because of false case(s) against him. So much so, that RED seems to be restructuring their company under some yet-unheard structure and which attempts to protect RED and its assets from all sorts of prospective lawsuits. Hopefully, they send RED to the bottom of the earth, and all their money is paid in class action lawsuits and settlements, for ruthless harassment and bullying of customers and (self declared) competitors, under complete misuse of the legal system. It may also be a good time to discipline lawyers whose sole purpose seems to be bullying customers and competitors, especially the much smaller companies and not so affluent customers.

Maybe you should watch all his videos, and preferably a few times. He explains everything rather well. With facts, history, law, court filings, technology etc. If you still think it's a conspiracy theory, maybe its beyond your ability to understand the basic jargon in reference. I wouldn't call you a fanboy or something, because it's difficult to understand why you have a bias against someone who is clearly highlighting facts.

I read somewhere that the A7siii have also been pretty delayed. And that Sony is also trying to do a Canon and deny anything that might suggest recall, or alterations or coloring the body in a lighter shade.

Wow. So glad that someone is rkaing one if the biggest corporate fraud company to the cleaners. It's David vs Goliath.

Everyone should push Panasonic to tell us about the Future of rhe GH lineup and also the Mystery about the PDAF (instead of the bullocks that they've been feeding us on)

Samsung had been using Sony Image Sensors in its smartphones for pretty long. Now that its market share had gone up substantially, it's dependence on Sony had gone down. Also, apparently, Sony's smartphone division uses a few Samsung Sensors. Also, Panasonic doesn't really have an option, since Sony has been using its market dominance for unfair trade practices. Like I already mentioned, Samsung is using it with aparently great success on the new Note20 series, and early early testing seems to suggest that it's doing well. I agree. The older YAGH was a design failure. Oversized and lacking even a battery inside.
