    Here is a post on DVXUSER that shows the GH5S beating the C500 in highlight roll-off. Very interesting!

    There is a nine page thread on BMCUser about firmware requests that people want.
    Nine pages.

    No Chris, not my craft. I am not upset as I could tell you answering your friendly PM. As written, no worries. I also think I can disclose a bit the content of your message which clearly hints you've actually recommended that same lens, so not exactly a divergence unites us on that one : ) My point is to clear up the topic, no other : ) I am usually one of the jokers over here so why shouldn't I be second your mood there, isn't it? : D We come to these boards for making friends among the members not to fight on topics, no matter we may diverge or not (E :-)

    So two ergonomic complaints, a complaint about the buffer and a complaint about low light performance.
    Yes, the dedicated ISO button is on the far left shoulder of the camera. But as he points out himself in the video, you can change ISO directly with the jog dial on the right - easy as pie. Or you can press Fn and use the thumb dials, if you're scared of accidentally moving the jog dial at some point. So the whole criticism is moot and he makes it moot himself. It's more of a handling tip than a complaint, then? But in the clickbait headline it's a PROBLEM.
    The other complaint is that the screen flips out, rather than be fully articulated like on the GH5. But the Sony screens do that as well, don't they, and he raves about them.
    The buffer section of the video I skipped... Can't comment. Not related to video whatsoever.
    The 4K video performance in low light... Well, this was before the high bitrate hack and NX-L adapter So I'll give him that. No, it isn't an A7S and never will be, but ISO 800 is cleaner than the GH4... Virtually noiseless... And that, at F1.0 on the NX-L, is not what I call "bad low light performance"

    So just because the sensor is capable of Dual ISO, if they don’t implement a circuit, there would be no trace of it embedded in the hardware of the sensor?
    Which leads me to ask... is the implementation of Dual ISO hardware or software related?

    But it's a strange situation. It's almost like having 13 or 12.75 Stops at ISO 400 and ISO 3200, or, 13.5 Stops at ISO 100. The low light would be hit big time. I won't be surprised if it may then be unusable at ISO 1600.

    AF can cause many spoiled gimbal shots, even canon DPAF can mess up your shot at just the crucial moment.
    You can pre focus and maintain subject distance and get great shots, even with shallow DOF. 
    If you need more leeway, stop down a bit.

    LOL Before or after he had started to review Sony gear more often as he's used to show off nowadays...?! hehe ; )
    I don't care, mate. He has already failed to address some other suggestions I even had the patience to ask him to test (Panasonic AF related IIRC) so I already have my judgement for the subject matter. I'll hardly change my opinion on topic.
    At times, some practices happen because they're competitors. Some other times, it is a way to push some party of our inner circle to be more involved and committed with us... A subtle form for raising the bar? (No one likes to have their work underestimated : D It happens ; ))
     
    I am usually very skeptical to take as granted things people make when they keep up appearances. Well, reality goes deeper than them (that is, if my non-native English makes any sense : )
    Nice find and argument @Kisaha BTW :-)

    hehe yeah, I guess I love to compliment people making fun of it when happens (not exactly on someone, for my goodness sake : ) so you've got it right : )) Positive interpretations also have a merit of their own, even when needed or not. In other words... If I praise something you did, I guess we both should be fine : D There are people with eyes and some other with eyes too, but lacking all the rest variably no matter how the efforts raise the bar :X Your comments often show it is unlikely you miss anything out there ; ) always appreciated, man :-)
    Without mention, we share the same principle aside new technology entries: there are no outdated cinematic cameras...

    I was having a discussion in another thread and like I usually do, it got off topic. So rather than step on the other OP’s toes, I decided to make a new thread.
    About once a year, usually when a new camera is announced, I become nostalgic about the cameras of yesteryear and I realize how many great cameras have been on the market the past ten years... WOW... has it been almost 10 YEARS since the beginning of the DSLR Revolution or as Andrew Reid likes to call it... “the democratization of filmmaking?”
    I’ve been lucky to test out a few of those cameras, but there are a bunch that have eluded me. Maybe I am feeling nostalgic as I watch footage from my 5-6 year old camera but it seems there are some gems that are still available both new and used on the marketplace. Part of me wants to test them all before the new models make those fossils extinct. 
    So I figured I’d love to hear some of people’s favorite cameras over the past 10 years and maybe some videos to show those cameras at their best.
    I posted this in the other thread but I can’t stop watching the first and last couple minutes of it. It was shot on the original C100 and to me looks as cinematic as they come...
    And here are a couple from the GH2 that makes me smile every time I watch them...
    Please share some of your favorites and if you were forced to shoot with an older camera... which one would you choose?

    Honestly, at $1300...who cares. BM is trying to get more people into the resolve ecosystem and as others have said it isn't actually a cost for them at this point to include the software.

    It’s like going to Walgreens and they have a buy one get one sale of paper towels. You are paying full price for the first roll of paper towels and the second roll you are getting for free. You cannot go to the counter and say, well I already paid for paper towels last week, so I don’t need the second roll of free paper towels, will you please deduct the price of the paper towels I paid for last week from the paper towels I am buying this week.

    Did you see any test that I've made with my C200? I still have compatibility problems with Angelbird 512GB Cfast Card, quite often the camera doesn't recognize the card. I'm in contact with the original dealer, to change it. Next months when I will have all the stuff that I need to buy, and finished the storyboard, I will shot something.

    That reminds me. I need a hair cut!
     
    anyway, if you put anything above it be careful not to interfere with the airflow too much 
     
     
    It is more the case that Arri feels they only own ONE really really good sensor which is ready for production (I'm sure they working on others). Thus the easiest way to get true 4K from it is just to scale up the size of the sensor Itself
