@Kisaha I thought of your reply when I placed the thread, but @jonpais it is a surprise... I thought you'd be a new GH5S owner (I never stop to think about that camera; I guess I'd pick 'that girl for going to the movies' if I would need to only choose one : D)

Indeed : D We have to adapt to the part of world we were born for : ) I know IIRC you are Greek but you've also worked in UK, correct? (That feature shot on Alexa is exactly part of my British portfolio :-)

@Kisaha Obviously, if you can charge for Alexa, why not? I have produced a feature shot on Alexa precisely. Without mention REDs. The point is when you simply don't want or need it. Small factor also helps when non-intrusive setups are wanted. No idea if that one from you to hint you are not aware if someone knows how the industry works was actually addressed to me once we've practically posted at same time. You didn't quote me either. Coming from someone in this business for 2 decades and a half now, I think I may fulfill some credits to answer anyway: Of course, an average budget won't cut on the camera department. Why should it be? That's the most insignificant part. The story will happen to end much different when low/no budget realm(s) pop up. Or for aesthetics or even a matter of principle, tools of choice or craft (as for example, small crews or constituted for novices) come to mind and method of work. At times, only for the pleasure we have to produce something substantially unconventional as further as possible. These light tools fit there. OK, got it perfectly now. That one was actually not addressed to me : ) It is answered in one way or another.

I understand you. Jon's stubborn like hell :-) A bit wild kid at times, but who doesn't like him is because doesn't know how to appreciate his insights. On your hollywood wondering, I never worked in hollywood but I have worked and am connected with people there. It is an industry. They are not focused to save pennies paying attention to most affordable players. They don't even want or care about other than their solid budget league. Certain stuff is not even welcome because it is too cheap. This will obviously have a consequence on some other items directly in the payroll if I make myself to be understood about. This doesn't mean the tools you have can't match their outcome with your craft or we would never have indies to begin with or IMNSHO I hadn't had the chance to produce a feature shot on 35mm BTW but awarded in Sundance and Berlin with Angelina Jolie as Executive Producer or to produce both shot on DSLR cameras a documentary in Indonesia with Spike Lee or yet to have a 2nd feature produced in the same Berlinale (Berlin International Film Festival) edition (E :-)

I am surely not our good Jon but I think I can answer you on that one : ) You can mimic whatever outcome you want when you have certain features. GH5 series have all the features and many others to achieve that and beyond this. It just depends on your skills. SOOC any Fuji is better, from their unique color science. There's no worse, just different approach for. Depending on your needs and taste of working. Hope this helps! (E :-) haha I mentioned the camera, pal! : ) Nice to know brexit didn't pop up yet ; ) Always accurate AF? :-)

I am fully in love for this one here... How have you found AF? Where are you based in?

I wouldn't say that! Worse than the 1st generation will always be hard to pick-up... :-)

The only thing I actually find on Sony's mirrorless colors is good gray and brown tones... :-D Full color SOOC is the Fuji signature indeed. The latest generation also brings higher bit rate. Without fresh eggs ; ) we can't even have healthy omelettes (E :-)

Funny doubts/perspectives pretty different still stand... Reds and blues would be in trouble if everyone would love to see the world of yellow : ) I don't even mention the green pattern now once rather than greenish I should replace the thing for yello-wish today : D To each his own. Tastes like scents and suchlike, among them sights on your type of woman, are indisputable :-)

You said it all, for certain stuff no really need to check it out :-) (Andrew should extend the 10 likes limitation or we end to inflate the post count...)

One month away of NAB, spill the beans here! What's your input? My shot: 1. GH5 2. GH5S 3. X-H1 This is not a new poll, only a sorta forum confessionary... LOL Disclose your mistresses, buddies! :-)

No idea but YT is full of videos on the new hack. GH5/GH5S AF drama is finally over, I hope :-)

Out of likes today : ) Good one! LOL :-)

Where's Fuji in that shootout...? LOL :-)

Luckily he doesn't realize that in a Fuji thread... LOL :-)

Small form factor is much more of a problem than pricing range which can be adjusted any time... ;-)

Nice find, dear anonim : D fellow. Have you been knowing Dennis' work? What about his posting? Maybe he can be wrong on that one. We both already had the chance to trade thoughts he could swap places in the end. Anyways, I'd trust on his eye on color stuff as well much more than any other party, I bet. Let's see what he has to say on your input. Jon's position too, I guess, isn't it?

@deezid you should post more often Dennis, to my sensibility, you are the best eyes over us : ) this forum needs more insights from your keyboard :-)

RS still stands to be seen... Just sayin'

I think we should always try to see the positive side of everything without leaving outside the shortcomings. People should know how to deal with less positive stuff coming from. For some reason there are workarounds to live with. I guess it is because of that I tend to accept the GH5 series AF performance in the same way I don't give ergonomics the importance others like you feel. Something I can't handle though is to see people I've learned to admire or not even necessarily them to be attacked without mercy. As much as personal attacks in a forum, where people come civil to enjoy some common interests like ours to share. Only can ask for tolerance zero. Yet on flaming wars to keep going without coming back, especially when involves to let some other third party down. I believe we must always respect the adversary counterpart. People invariably have something to offer us. I wouldn't mind to end in a limbo if my integrity stands. Attitude is paramount. Much more important than camera ergonomics : D or any other camera feature others see as they can't live without it. Well, I must confess some releases have actually nothing to offer me too. But, I will survive : ) Last but not least, we can always learn with our mates anywhere even when we don't share the same opinion. I've really appreciated your entries on topic as usual BTW. And still find them rather interesting. Even though, IQ is what leads my interest about cameras including this device particularly. We are in a Fuji thread, what else we would find here after all? :-) PS: In some other page over these same boards Glenn had mentioned or inferred IIRC your Fuji clips are beyond the GH5 ones. Despite my Fuji love, I can't concur. Same pilot who leads the grace when competent as happens in your case, not the tool. Kudos in the right place.

Here's the setting route (from the description of the video above-posted as source for this simple transcription): Steps to Enable better AF on GH5/GH5s a. Enable camera to use Shutter Angle instead of Shutter Speed Menu - Creative Video - SS/Gain Operation (7th) - Angle/ISO b. Enable Synchro Scan Menu - Creative Video - Synchro Scan (5th) - ON c. Enable Continuous AF Menu - Motion Picture - Continuous AF (5th) - ON d. Set the Shutter angle using the back dial of the camera to 179

Horses for courses. You can give more importance to some aspects to discuss than others. This doesn't mean you're going to directly address adjectives to camera features as easily as people like to publicly diminish their other fellow members especially when they don't share our opinion. For wisdom's sake! Only impoverishes the sender, let alone the content... Without mention when the subject is subjective. No whatever specs we praise will please everyone. To each his own. To try the opposite can end stuck in a limbo.

We hope so. But then some other manufacturer will feel the need to put a competitive price to compete with the a7SIII if so ;-) I guess Sony will push the price much higher for.

If Sony fails to deliver 4K/60p + 10-bit 4:2:2 at this camera level, this tool will be THE video camera for longer than people might think :-) Without mention the 240fps based on 1080p no other device in the range may offer nowadays, I guess.
