@wolf33d ...and because Sony A7sIII is not a real camera, or something that exists, then GH5 is the only way!

Yeah looking boring so far but remember... it doesn't start proper until Monday.
And leaks usually don't start to appear until the day before.
However I am not that hopeful for much excitement on the camera side. Sony probably won't come with an A7S 3 just yet... Panasonic probably won't come with much as GH5 still fresh... Canon probably asleep and Nikon probably doesn't even know NAB is on

Wow is it me, other than the Sony A9, NAB seems to be a bust so far?? I know it Just started but...

New posts to follow. Enjoy them as much as possible! Hope it helps and fits your search when may happen :-)

New T2i or Mini-Alexa? ;-)

F-ing brilliant Hans 

Hahaha. Awesome. Distributed by Western Union.

BTW, tap-to-focus is actually part of the GH5 AF system, the point is that works in both AF and MF modes, so... AF, whatever the finest settings we find, could never be such a deal breaker at all! :-)
 

Exactly, even an old Panasonic GH1 is still a better choice than many filmmakers out there get to make.

The AF controversy seems to keep reverting back to the Panasonic Reps claiming that the GH5 AF is much better than the GH4...well...it is!...so nothing amiss there..I don't think I've seen a single line anywhere about someone blaming Sony reps for not disclosing that their cameras overheat quickly...lol...criticism seems to be as subjective as image quality...

So as some already know, I recently purchased a 5D3 primarily to shoot Magic Lantern Raw. Well this week I started my first short film with it. It was definitely a learning experience but I really don't know of any camera where I would have achieved such pleasing images. I also purchased the Canon 24-70mm f/4 lens and I am consistently blown away by what a great lens it is and the OIS is so damn good, even at 70mm, that the majority of my short, thus far, has been shot handheld.
With the recent 4K Raw developments, I figured I would post some pros and cons in case somebody else is looking to pick one up.
Well the first pro is that shooting Raw could not be simpler with it. Set up Raw histogram with the overexposure hint and when it shows your color channels are starting to clip or the word "over" appears on the histogram, then just dial back your exposure a touch.
Another pro is that there are a bunch of people on this forum still shooting with the 5D3 and everybody is helpful. If you have a problem about any aspect of the process or workflow, there are plenty of other ML shooters around here that go out of their way to answer even the stupidest of my questions... not nearly as daunting as the ML forum.
Now a couple cons... you need a bunch of cards... or a computer and hard drive to offload your footage... 12 minutes on a 64GB cards gets filled quickly. Even with 3 cards, and trying to be conservative with my shots and shot ratios, I still ran out of space 3/4 of the way through my second day of shooting.
Converting the footage is a bit tedious. The RawMagic route of converting the MLV files to CDNG is fairly fast but then you still have to process the footage through Resolve or After Effects before really seeing what you have. I really like the MLRawViewer program, but although you get to preview your footage, the conversion is slow and after I updated my Mac to Sierra, the version I have does not work with it, but I believe there is a newer version,  so hopefully it will work then.
I guess that's about it for now, so I'll leave you with a couple graded screen grabs, from a couple shots I briefly messed around with yesterday...

Because that R stands for Resolution. As same as a7S for Sensitivity. The 1st one of the series is always the midway and the introductory version. Resolution only means different needs, not necessarily higher IQ. The same for speed going with vehicles. Guess if that's important for cargo transportation, as for instance ;-)

AF seems to work fine here, but the shots look stuttery (is this a word?) on my monitor, very distracting...I don't see any words about shutter speed on his description, so i can only guess that this was shot on high shutter speed to minimise DOF and test AF?

Using these settings the GH5 should become a AF Monster! So no more AF controversy?
 

Great job Chris! You certainly showed how effective 1-area AF can be. However I suspect no matter what you or I say or do, there will always be the doubters. It's impressive that your video wasn't even shot in the higher frame rate...but of course you'll be chastised for using an external recorder.
Yes, we must spread the word and make believers out of the doubters!
Here here Borbarad, well done!

Here you have... (can we call it now?) bias.
 
From 6:38 on...
 

LOL Definitely, quote of this thread!
My vote is on Mavic. Purchase, as well :-)
GoPro is the most horrid camera even before the Lumière brothers did their presentation!
No Protune saves the grace or its absence in pallid colors all the same from one side of spectrum to the other extreme. No idea why people dare to shoot on it other than personal stuff and a few shots as inserts when the magical hour cheats all of us...

I am hopeful on this toy... seems guaranteed fun. Only compression artifacts can bring me some concern. Other than that seems interesting to my eyes. 4K is more than enough. I guess soft 4K won't hurt :-) 

IQ is not only definition. I've fairly liked the Mavic outcome much more.
Actually, GoPro has always seemed to my eyes either too crispy or mushy because of compression, low color sampling and so on.

You're welcome and absolutely right!

Soft footage fix : 
 

Expensive for so little. Phew... a7 and successive versions had not gotten my heart either. R and S did, though.
GH5 rules for serious video/film work.
