No one here intends to be arrogant, I believe. And I am giving the benefit of doubt for both on the spot. Perspective, you see? That's my purpose with my entries, to put everything in perspective. If not, all this might sound rather useless if not taken in perspective and altogether. Technical aspects can be passionate, for sure. If not, why would we be here discussing it? I just think my own POV and experience out there can be useful to others who come here to read this. That said, the activity is not so diversified as it seems from the complexity itself which defines this business. I also appreciate these tests and no one is putting such in doubt. On the contrary. Again, trying to give accurate perspective in order to make them more useful, if well contextualized. E :-)

Here's a pretty fair concept: usable... ;-)

I surely read it. Reason why someone needs to introduce some common sense and real scope over such geek questions. If you are in these forums for a decade, you should have crossed yourself with my posts for sure. And also prevailing the technical aspects of business when needed, aside others (other aspects count: they must be seen altogether; that's an usual mistake). Take a look in one of my links at my signature or both. A few of you were probably in the high school, I was feeding myself from high end technology inside this industry. Trying to convince people to shoot 1080p 3:1:1 rather than 35mm film. This doesn't mean we have to lose the sense of proportion of technical aspects. That's the whole point. When we lose it, we lose any basis for our wondering. A discussion about cameras serves if balanced. If not, if we distort the blanket only for one side of the bed, we will lose the whole purpose for. E :-)

PS: I can give an example. My favorite camera is GH series, but before I was using my 5D2, out of order later on when I replaced it for a GH1. Before I had read 4/3" format was not the best for still photography... because of this misconception exactly about what photography is. No more no less in any way other as the exact acquisition device from several variables which conduct to a possible outcome. Try to go with a RED ONE to the middle of the crowd and you'll see the street photography you'll get ;) Who doesn't understand this, it can only be a good theoric sit behind the desk :)

oh God, a camera is NOT only sensor or test rates! At times, I wonder if this geek idea of a capture device has anything to be with real photography... (E :-)

LOL You love to annoy other dudes, no? ;-)

All this craziness on high ISOs comes from his legacy, among others, such as Kubrick or Storaro, of course. I guess all of them loved the 'film noir', actually, the German Expressionism to have moved to Hollywood. Also a minimal concept of light and shadow brought to the mainstream, never seen before except with the italians or french (or Cassavetes in America) three, two, one decades before. But not strictly for aesthetic reasons. To us, arrived as the 'light fimmaking' possible to conquer the world today in Sundance. Even if my mom complains the movies are too dark nowadays... : D Those were golden days when men like him changed forever the way the movies could be made. We also owe this to him.

Indeed, Andrew you make this camera singing (outcome counts, not a set of limitations) and who is used to defend you outside being proud now to see that's not in vain ; ) It is a truly professional amateur cinema camera, I've always believed in both talents! (E :-)

If you want to not bother with the audio bug at all, here you have: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/907000-REG/Panasonic_dmw_ms2_External_Stereo_Mic_For.html http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/943375-REG/panasonic_vw_vms10_stereo_microphone_plug_in.html I suggest this one to add: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/929347-REG/tascam_dr_60d_4_ch_track_linear_pcm.html "Auto tones can be added to the beginning and ending of the recording and a button can be pressed to add a slate tone to the audio at any time. These tones are also output to the 3.5mm camera out jack so they can be recorded to your DSLR camera's audio recorder for timing reference."

Actually, not 1080p but 4K this one:

*Sigh* (...) Not only based on that cool comparative with the GH3 but one of the finest GH4 reviews over there. If not of ever to committed buyers once directly addressed on the camera not exactly outcome as usual. I'll put the controversial (?) reviewer as at least here seems so in my follow-up list for sure. Without your contribution, I wouldn't notice the beardy fellow hence my thanks to both of you Michael Ma and jonpais for sharing your open-minded heads-up (E :-)

LOL If possible to say it : ) you can always add one of those: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/929347-REG/tascam_dr_60d_4_ch_track_linear_pcm.html

I understand him, though. On past, I mean. I can't hardly express, your mixed emotion at their current thoughtlessness :D E que Portugal seja campeão em terras de Vera Cruz ! :)

LOL you can bet! :)

Crossposted out there (once people at times tend to forget they become camera geeks because of filmmaking) : http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?288192-Just-got-a-new-camera-Sony-F35&p=1986436076&viewfull=1#post1986436076

Andrew, you well know I am an admirer and defender of your web corner outside of here and here is the proof, the way you end your article: "For now I recommend sticking with the official Micro Four Thirds Speed Booster if you’re a GH4 owner! This still gives you a approximately Canon APS-C sized 1.56x crop rendering of your full frame lenses and is a perfect match to APS-C lenses like the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8." Where you, after so much experimentalist craziness :D you end with the wisest advice on topic ;) Frankly, no idea why your naysayers go to pick up so much hate to spread wherever they can... your resources are becoming the most interesting location for indie filmmaking along dvxuser. E :-)

Indeed. Anything to bring a significant contribution for filmmaking must be regarded as a bless instead, such as affordable 4K.

You just said it shortly what a lot of others are unable to admit to themselves because their multi-thousand camera only records 1080p :D But you will only need a bit more than a grand to be updated, no more excuses for that gimmick prosumer / broadcast / professional / cinema (cough cough) camera :P

Nowadays it is possible to put any videoish outcome to shine as film stock from your home computer, so it is such a mute point, actually ;-)

I second that, pointless is to embrace the aliasing and moiré as a new trend of filmmaking (E :-)

When the same few people I read here blatantly replying OP will have a solution for one of the major health problems of modern times aka cancer, please advise your community on topic. I am sure Nobel Committee shall have in consideration your effort. Excelent topic Junior, kudos for your initiative and congratulations to Andrew for such valuable forum, as well, to those posts really adding some worthy discussion even if from the same (un)usual suspects, if but only when so ;) Thanks on behalf of all non-Adolf grateful readers, Emanuel :-)

This location is growing and growing, nice to see :-)

Humorous vibe is part of life, actually. Impossible to live without it. Imagine you to write it without mention his alias now? Bits and bytes of good humor immediately lost. To Caesar what belongs to Caesar :)
