This is the most exciting cinema camera I've seen since the 5D3 got cDNG RAW with Magic Lantern. Not a fan of Z mount but the camera specs make it irrelevant. I may even buy into their lens ecosystem now. Hopefully Sigma starts making FF natives for their system. Anyway. Instant buy. It's amazing, cuz I never thought I'd own a RED. Nikon buyout is the best thing ever. Edit: Note to self, buy Megadap ETZ21 Pro+ and Sigma 28-45mm f/1.8 in Sony E.

Re-read what was posted. The scam SEO link is contained in the "ariba-training" portion of the linked text.

This release, coinciding with the current and projected state of the Japanese economy, coupled with incoming tariffs, is wild. I hope they succeed, because a weakened Fuji would suck.

02:37:32 "We'll probably eventually charge some kind of upgrade for this." Looks like we can expect to pay for major version upgrades in the future. Still better than a subscription, thankfully.

I'm tempted to buy a Z6 III with an E-mount adapter for the Sigma 28-45mm F1.8. Would prefer to have a native option.

Do you pay for the hosting fees? What an entitled ####

Wow. Incredible. Very tempting. I hope Nikon can release a competitive zoom lens with fast aperture, it's the only thing keeping me from making the switch. - Canon RF 28–70mm F2 - Sigma L/E 28-45mm F1.8

This now seems very likely.

Right? This is such a wildcard change in the industry. I was planning to switch to an R5 and R5C combo this year for Canon's 28-70MM f/2 zoom. Now I'm going to wait and see what happens. I own no mirrorless glass so I have no bias, I'll choose whatever platform that suits me.

Sorta hijacking this thread but it is relevant: Must've been living under a rock, Sony discontinued the FS5M2. RIP Awesome camera to keep an eye out for used, and Atomos effectively prolonged these cameras forever with the Ninja V. I fucking love S35-sized sensors. Allows you to shoot on vintage and tiny glass. Add a focal reducer and you have almost full frame. Of course you need to rig the fuck out of this camera to get good image quality. Good camera to own for low budget, controlled shoots.

Yeah, this is super frustrating. BRAW is great but Blackmagic doesn't (yet) offer the sensor-in-a-box I need. And looks like we won't be ever be getting internal ProRes RAW due to RED. I bought a Ninja V+ recently. It's great. But it is something you need to rig, power and wire; one more potential point of failure that can **** a shoot.

@And1 Make sure you can return the camera if not satisfied or do some extensive tests; some Blackmagic sensors exhibit excessive FPN or have other issues (crosshatching, color clipping, etc.) The UM4.6k is a great but I personally would not buy a used Blackmagic camera (unless it’s from a chain.)

I'm glad you shared this with us @Andrew Reid. eBay is seriously fucked. Some of its employees just got jail time for: "sending threatening messages and deliveries of live cockroaches, a funeral wreath, and a bloody pig mask" to a couple running a website that wrote critical articles about eBay. On orders from executives no less. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/07/ebay-manager-imprisoned-for-harassment-of-journalists-the-ceo-wanted-to-take-down/

@Django FS7 def has the advantage if you want to shoot almost full frame for cheap. Basically the only reason I'm still shooting on FS5s... S35 out of the box, or pop on a metabones for 1.07x crop. There's (2?) FS7M2 on ebay for 4k. Nothing included but the locking e-mount is awesome. Such a pain in the ass to rig a lens to not move when using a focus motor or follow focus. eND is nice to have too. FS5/FS7 is still the only goldilocks body available IMHO: FF/S35, SDI, RAW, 4K120.
