10-bit 4:2:2, bam, there it is.

Yes, at Photokia
I would think CES is a more appropriate venue for TVs, IBC or NAB for Varicam class cameras.

There is a Huge 8k sign, but the are Many announcements in the offing.
The 8k sign is most likely for a TV or the Latest Version of the Varicam.
At Photokina though?

People are pointing out the 8K sign.....great but that's not what I'm here for.
Surely it can't be for 4/3.

The gh4 could already do 10bit at 4:2:2 from hdmi, with no big gains over internal 8bit, as several reports stated.
The gains very very dramatic if using V-Log.

GH4 is competing with A7sII and A7rII, in the sense that they are taking market share that might have gone to the GH4. GH4 got a big boost by being the first on the market with 4K. It doesn't matter that it's half the price, it was the only option, so it was adopted for a lot of higher end uses.
Panasonic need to convince video users that it's worth staying with the M4/3 system rather than ponying up the extra cash and switching. -

It just doesn't make business sense. We saw the 5DIV rumours, which were already watered down specs, that ended up being even more watered down in the actual product.
Sony had all sorts of rumours flying around prior to the A7r/sII releases, and there's been 'rumours' about an 'imminent' a9 release almost since the a7 came out.
Rumours are just that until the camera comes out - and the camera is almost always not as good as the rumours suggest. And even on the rare occasion that it defies expectation, the rumours still aren't correct.
Too many people get bogged down in their 'hopeful' and 'ideal' cameras and try and find ways to justify the reason that it 'definitely will' happen, rather than thinking of these companies as businesses.
But hey, I'll happily eat my proverbial hat if it does, in fact, happen.
I can see it happening because Panasonic are at a turning point with M43 - Sony's full frame efforts have narrowed the size advantage and present a viable threat in video quality, so they need to do something drastic to stay in the high end ILC game. Without a feature like this, GH5 is going to be an also-ran. There is pressure to put out a product that makes similar waves as the GH4.
And as has been said, they have no higher tier product to protect. -

Does make you kinda laugh how many eat up the ridiculous rumours
I'm yet to see a rumours site get a major announcement totally correct (cue all the links and examples of the times a rumours site got it 'totally 100% right'). If anything, they're almost always wrong on the video spec.
You're really doubling down on no 4K 10 bit, huh.

Television only appears to be currently much better than film if you limit what you watch to mainstream American features.

They would make the top ten of each year they were released, but like popcorn, I feel they are mostly air.
The only one of those I'd rate in the top ten of the year it released is Gravity. I'd also disagree with the assessment of Hateful Eight as basically a super hero film - it has much more in common with theatre and slow burn horror (looking at you, The Thing).

Give him time, Tomas. Ed closed a deal with him 1 hour ago for tomorrow. See previous page (43).
It's not Ed's call.

We should never mix his flaws -- listen, he has a few of ones, with his goodwill to come back. Ed's fault? I also concur Ed and others here, even his detractors or others like Anthony (squig) or myself and many others, we all have tried and played our best in order to educate him. What's the beef with? None.
Insight is part of the process. Is he a different man of all of us? He is surely different but one of us at same time. I believe a man can see his errors and change without looking back. This is known as growing up. That's what we have here. A kid trying to be man. First, also a smart ass. Now, more honorable than before. He had to have other guys to spank him and offer a lesson. Oh yeah, the old school method and the quickest road in order to make a man straight out the last traces of childhood. A dangerous mix we've seen in this kid.
Ebrahim Saawadi came back firstly to try to throw off suspicion, and then to try to throw people off his back when he started to see some real world ramifications for his crimes.
He used this forum in a terrible way. He is not one of us, and he is not our friend. -
3 minutes ago, Emanuel said:
You can dislike him, your right : ) But, I'd like that any one of you could show us an example of a scammer behaving like him.
How many scammers are dumb enough to use an account tied to their real identity?
His whole plan was to pretend that the vulnerability of an account used by Sr. and Jr. lead to a third party using the account, but he was entirely unprepared for people not taking him at his word on this.
He's only turned around because he knows that Ed and other posters have him by the balls, and even then it took reaching out to his family and friends to bring about this apology. -

Take a look above-posted in my last post.
That Ebrahim Saawadi is bad at lying is clearly a fact. If pointing that out is unacceptably insulting, then the truth has no place here.

I also got the life rights for the film from ES - only cost me $250! Just wired him the money a few hours ago.
Is this a joke

This polite attitude has earned my respect and admiration. The humble tone and above all, his most recent posts. Oh yes, I'd feel comfortable to invite him to have dinner at my home now. And I'll be glad to meet him personally if/when there will be a chance for.
Let him fulfill his word to everyone. A wise community is the one balanced and fair. He deserves a second chance as all of us when we are wrong. Who didn't commit a mistake in life? There are different grades for sure. To accept the difference is also a proof of decency. I'd even dare to write: M-A-N-D-A-T-O-R-Y. Don't ask what you can't give back.
The guy is still laughing at you. Look at the final paragraph of his last big post that I quoted above. Ebrahim was so overcome with emotion that he suddenly lost the ability to type. Seriously? He is a shit liar, and he is still playing with you guys. The smugness hasn't gone away.
As mercer said, people get banned on forums for much less than building their entire online persona on a lie and using the member base as a fishing pond for international theft.- kidzrevil, bamigoreng and dbp

I like how the narrative shifted from "my grandpa is wealthy and gives me any money I need, so why would I need to scam anyone?", to "I'm just a poor student without a job, $300 is too much!"

I feel like ES should be given a new tag or a message in his signature warning people that the content of his posts may contain fiction, with a link to this thread. A lot of less experienced people visit this site for advice, myself included, and anyone finding a thread here after some Googling would see a highly rated member and assume their opinion to be of value.

New Camera

How do you find the GX85 battery life, fuzzynormal? I'm considering picking one up and using it as a supplementary camera on a wedding shoot next month.

A super serious sentimental movie by Ebrahim about how he and his grandfather were robbed and scammed, and his resulting depression, would be hilarious. I say go for it.

19 likes yet! (I believe a few others are already part of the past). It's incredible... So, here is why the scammer thought he could do what he actually did. Adolf Hitler should have thought the same...
People thought they knew and could trust him, and they didn't want to believe the alternative. To a shark like Ebrahim, our human compassion and willingness to forgive makes us weak.

Very true. I mean, I have addresses and numbers that I had to fill out in order to send him money, but we all know from scams that they could be fake.
Likely they were the details of Jr. There's no evidence that the account was ever used by Sr.
-

The point is that multiple people (BOTH Ebrahim Saawadi Sr. and Jr.) are using the account. Proving the 'right' one is going to be difficult.
Not as difficult as proving that Sr. as represented on this forum exists.
