There is a gimbal manufacturer I can't disclose any details for now because of some negotiations to run at this moment. It is the only one able to mount the motor either on left or right for best use along the P4K. 1.2kgs is also one of the lightest gimbals you can find within the 3-4kgs range for payload. Without mention a most affordable price target to match the deal. Anyone interested for further information please feel free to reach me via PM. E : -)

From Apple's April 2018 white paper: https://www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/docs/Apple_ProRes_White_Paper.pdf Anyone here still have memory of that professional Panasonic 90's D5? PSNR stands for peak signal-to-noise-ratio. Any doubts yet? ; -)

Don't reverse the quote, buddy ; ) Yours inferred so, not mine! If you compare clauses, you can't change them to distort the output as your wish. To argue a point must concur fair premises all way long (bias is invariably used to born from that precise path ; -) No idea on your testing conclusions, obviously : ) You have good quality lower bitrate (35Mbps for 1080p and higher than about 150Mbps for 4K DCI 25p) anyway on P4K and with most robust 4:2:2 for casual outcome. Take a look on this to second something else not by my hand this time (if necessary): https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_ProRes#Apple_ProRes_422_Proxy https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5988053?answerId=26267966022#26267966022 EDIT -- Sorry for the 1st link in Portuguese, I didn't find it in English though.

What ISOs?

Weather sealing going with an external recorder attached to?! Good luck... LOL : -)

Have you ever shoot with? I've been finding 1920 x 1080 (also available on 4K DCI & UHD) ProRes PXY shot on P4K much away from your description, pretty the opposite BTW... : ) 4:2:2 makes all the difference anyway.

Indeed. Dreamy days we live today: https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_note_7-9513.php For 200 bucks! Add both 4K pocket BMD & Osmo versions (+ M2P as you wish going your stuff aerial as well), you have your really mobile and handy large format ready for still/motion wherever you go! Here's a thread of nowadays ; -)

Let alone the dropped frames... LOL

Exactly.

For sure for limited takes... ; -)

Lossless in order to be named and considered a digital negative to be able to allow posterior recovery? For sure. Other than that, RAW there is pure solecism then if so. E : -)

Well, nothing to object then : ) I find your comment pretty solid, so 100% agreed : -) I put all my bets for now on the new BRAW to be implemented into the P4K to begin with. Hope others to be subject to be there as further add-on to follow.

Not exactly. RAW doesn't necessarily mean uncompressed (that is, can perfectly happen to be minimally processed) but more prone to be taken as a digital negative where information may be subject to be recovered lately. This is what generally characterizes the tool : -)

I know once having tested P4K along with and actually, I have loved it! : -)

I find the cooling system there much well designed. Sony would have something to learn with them ; ) Don't compare 4" with 5" camera screens, they are a hell of a difference! : -)

I surely share some viewpoints with you. The buttons and wheels are intimidating... LOL I even avoid them going with the touchscreen commands as much as I can, keeping them as new as possible : D Even though not as far as form factor concerns. It is unfair to infer they didn't give their best to design the best hybrid motion picture camera that's what this P4K is. Seems a DSLR with the mirrorless weight. Something RED hasn't offered to us with their DSMC system. No matter their good intentions. What's exactly the beef here? We have an adage which says the issue is where? Trousers or arse?! I told you there is at least one gimbal manufacturer who is able to let you have 1.2 kg of gear to capably stabilize the best form factor out there. BTW I've always dreamed to shoot perfect motion holding a film stills camera in hands instead. That's what I feel with this tool. No other camera has succeeded before. Either 5D II/III/IV (with the exception of ML & 1DC maybe but at expense of how unreliable a hack may end to be or double of the weight and what price when released for the 2nd case) or MFT / APS-C / the most recent FF series by other major players have failed to give you such combo IMO. Without mention the price target ; )

Seems more info will be arriving along this NAB... from our @DaveAltizer :

Don is one of my/our good fellows here. Just stubborn like hell : D He never shot with one or he would arrive to the same conclusion as I've arrived. Today as for instance. I brought with me literally inside my pocket my GX80 for a family's celebration in a restaurant. Great monochrome output BTW. When arrived to home for the second part, I immediately changed for my fav cam ever: the new P4K. I completely missed how ease is to set up and shoot. A pleasure to be with. The more I shoot the more I regret to not have it a few years earlier. It is a perfect device to me and definitely to everyone who starts shooting with one. @webrunner5 dare yourself to buy one mate and you'll never desire to replace it. Mark my words : -) 4592 x 2584 JPEG shot on GX80 1920 x 1080 grab from ProRes PXY shot on P4K 25fps aka 25p Both straight out of the camera with zero grading. Still room for any doubts? When you come from an intuitive menu like the P4K is to a much complicated BORING menu of these small digital devices you promise to yourself to never underestimate these Aussie goodfellas... LOL

REDCODE is compressed RAW for a dozen years, no one has complained in Hollywood included... Do you? :X

Hence to limit myself to dream about... ; ) Either way, still a milestone this upgrade no matter what : -)

Nice to know : ) Wish 4K60p might be a reality as well...

Don, I have used the camera strictly for personal usage so far with a simple manual lens coupled to it. Reliable focus assist reminds me I will never want to shoot in a smaller monitoring (non-)capability size. And zero need for a rig, actually. On the contrary. Take a look on my work you can follow from my signature. The projects I participate either as producer or/and shooter take a few years before to see the light. Trust my input though: This is the best camera ever designed and manufactured. I deal with these devices for thirty years today. It is not only the IQ, the way the light is handled by sensor, codecs from ProRes to RAW in-camera more than mere range of specs as single promises to sell straight out the paper, also the color science, the ease of use as much as any photo camera for decades, form factor and ergonomics then, so everything. I am completely sold. You should know how skeptical I was on their business policies before. E : -)

You can use triple V90, CFast and SSD on P4K, as well, there's nothing you have on GH5s you don't have along with the new Pocket. Well, you won't have the superior set of codecs -- RAW included, a way more effective and useful 5" monitoring tool, without mention an intuitive interface capable of better results you're just missing because you'd rather deny to yourself the experience you refuse to replace the usual myth with, the one you insist to keep spreading over these pages. E : -)

First production units in the end of March as far as they say: "Panasonic Announces Additional Key Functions for the New Full-frame Mirrorless Camera at CES 2019 Las Vegas, NV (January 7, 2019) – Following an announcement at Photokina 2018, Panasonic will unveil additional key features of the new LUMIX S full-frame mirrorless cameras at CES 2019. The LUMIX S full-frame mirrorless cameras and lenses will be available at the end of March 2019.* A Whole New Style of Photo Expression High Dynamic Range Still Photo – HLG Photo Mode HLG Photo allows images to be shot with a wider dynamic range. By reproducing both glaring lights and dark shadows that are likely to be overexposed or underexposed, the Lumix S achieves rich, precise color expression as close as possible to visual memory. 43rumors HLG Photos are produced as an HSP file. The user can play back these vibrant images on the latest Panasonic HLG-compliant 4KTV via HDMI cable connection or other HLG- compliant devices. It is also ideal for photographers’ photo presentations. Stunning Details with a Realistic Sensation High Resolution Mode Taking advantage of the Body Image Stabilizer. (I.S.) mechanism, eight consecutive images are automatically shot while shifting the sensor. These eight images are synthesized into a single image by the new Venus Engine, which boasts high-speed signal processing. Precise details are faithfully reproduced to be saved as a beautiful, highly realistic image. This mode is ideal for shooting natural landscapes or fine art objects with delicate details. Considering situations where moving subjects are included in the scene, sub options are available to suppress motion blur, so photographers can use this mode the same as shooting in a normal photo shooting mode. *Availability date may vary depending on the sales area •Design and specifications are subject to change without notice."
