​Haha. Get a grip, mate. I didn't say the DoP's work was shit. I said the "C300 MKII looks shit" - the colours, the motion-cadence, the highlight roll-off. Don't put words in my mouth. You're trying to teach me a lesson in respect by disrespecting me? How sophisticated and wise of you. Get off your moral high-horse. And, well, hmmm, I dunno, "J.F.R", but I like to consider myself a "professional". Yeah, I didn't go to filmschool, nor am I apart of any cinematography society, but I think my portfolio in my signature speaks for itself. Or, perhaps you're right and all those famous musicians and their management teams are wrong for hiring me - cause, I mean, after all, according to you, I'm a "non working pro" - just an "enthusiast" that knows nothing, right? Move along.

A7s is barely a year old, if that. Give it another six months, minimum.

​Haven't seen a single decent looking FS7 video. FS7 suffers from the same crappy motion-cadence that the FS100, FS700, F55, and F5 do. The only current Sony camera that doesn't suffer from this "video-ish" motion-cadence is the Sony F65. And that's because it employs a mechinal-shutter. The motion of these other Sony's look awful.

C300 MKII looks shit. I mean, if it were $4000 - $6000, I could accept. But this video-look for $16,000? F**k that.

Viewing angle is 135 degrees. Not bad, but something to note.

NOTE: The $2995 URSA Mini is capped at 12 stops of DR.

HERE: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/pro...era/techspecs/ $995 One thing to really take note of is that the user can select between rolling and global shutter.

Still a bargain at $5000.

I read that title as "3D Blackmagic Camera" Hoping it's a BMPCC 2.0 - so I can still use my damn x0.58 Speed Booster

I've got my money on Alexa 65. Never been fond of RED's colour-science or claimed dynamic-range.

Indeed. The XC10 does have a place. At little-league soccer games.

​This camera, like all the other cameras I own (A7s, GH4, BMPCC), will pay itself off in one hit. F**k it. Who cares. Buy it. Work it off. Don't like it - sell it. I've been planning on going back home to Syria to do a documentary about my fellow Syrian Christians. Right now I have a BMPCC + x0.58 Speed Booster + Shogun. I like the setup, but find it tedious sometimes - stringing it all together and all. If the URSA Mini is all that in one package, which it seems to be, and more, then I'll grab one. A single one-day corporate video will pay it off. Buy shit. Use it. Have fun with it. Keep the show rollin'.

Ha! True. Jumped the gun on this one, didn't read it really to be honest. Too much excitement and curiosity. Really just want a BMPCC with same sensor and all, just with 50/60P (or more) added.

I dunno. Supposedly. Maybe. http://www.43rumors.com/ft2-is-that-the-new-4k-blackmagic-pocket-cinema-camera-ii/

BMPCC with 1080P @ 48/50/60, or more. That's all I want.

Sounds like a beast. I think this is the first NAB where I'm not really curious or interested. The reason being that my BMPCC + x0.58 SB + Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 combo is still providing a phenomenal image. The only thing that would make me reach for my wallet is a "BMPCC V2" with 50/60P (or higher). Otherwise, I couldn't care less about NAB 2015.

I think you're right, Andrew! My curiosity and impatience are just getting the best of me at the moment. Not long now

​Very serious. I've never had a problem with aliasing and moire on my BMPCC.

It's been so long since we heard anything. I really hope this hasn't turned into vapourware...

Never, ever liked the C300. Most overrated camera of all time. Thin 8-bit colour junk. Crayon skin-tones. A log profile with a bit-depth that would shit itself the second you pushed it. Glorified Canon DSLR. People rave on about the ISO performance. Who needs more than 1600 anyway? If you need more than 1600, nine times out of ten says you probably shouldn't be shooting in that type of light to begin with. I have an A7s, and 3200 is overkill as is. The C300 wasn't popular because it allowed the ability to create an aesthetically pleasing image. It was popular because it had an EF-mount and good ergonomics. It was also a camera a lot of Canon DSLR users bought because they thought their clientele would take them more seriously. And ridiculously enough, they did. I'd take a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera over a C300 in a heartbeat. BMPCC eats the C300 alive. As for comparing the C300 to an Alexa - that's ludicrous. That's like comparing a Toyota Corolla to a Mitsubishi Evo. They're both reliable and do their job, but the former is an mediocre, all-rounder, the latter is a work of art that shames super-cars.

​Exactly. It has click-bait written all over it The biggest mistake for me was the ISO 800 vs ISO 12,800 sample images. The images are identical, with the ISO 12,800 having its brightness level upped a little. He could have at least waited for the rowers to change position/exit frame before taking the supposed ISO 12,800 image.. Ah well. Back to waiting on that GH4 firmware update...

​Ahh crap, I should have clicked the "About" button! Definitely an "A" for effort, though! And I thought I had time on my hands...this bloke takes it to a whole new level!

It's one or the other - talk about effort though... http://suggestionofmotion.com/blog/nab-2015-panasonic-gh5/

Andrew, my favourite part of this article was the part about the GH4 at the end...
