Dave, thanks for posting this info.

You seem to get the scoop on announcements...what are the chances Sound Devices will have "t" versions of MixPre 3 & 6?

How about these Sony cards?

Sony SF-G64/T1 High Performance 64GB SDXC UHS-II Class 10 U3 Memory Card with blazing fast read speed up to 300MB/s

Canon G1 X Mark III is about to be announced according to:

It would be nice if Panasonic were to announce LX100 Mark II as well, to have a couple new options.

I heard Videomic Pro+ available by early August for $300 or so.

I found their picks interesting:

I was just at the Sony press release and spoke to a Sony Rep. there was literally nothing interesting at the press release. I told the rep I was hoping for a Sony a9s and he asked me why? I told him it's because I want Slog and better video features. He then asked me "why why don't you just get an a7S II?" I said I want phase detect autofocus and the better battery. He then said "well you're going to have to wait a long time."

 

conclusion:

nothing new here. Looks like we will wait at least another 6 months before we see anything.

Thank you for your reports Dave. Can you ask the Sony guy if an A7000 is expected sooner than A7s3?

Anyway 5d doesn't have ibis which means for some still deal breaker, I hardly use my monopod with ibis machines which gives me much more freedom.

Sigma Art 24-70mm with IS could be a nice combo.

....What makes it look terrible is the not-so-smooth gradation - it's sharp edged, blocky.....

Thank you for explaining.

Isn't that just reflections of her hair, 

and terrific that the sensor picked up that subtlety?

Hope it has touchscreen to choose points for racking focus.

Wait GH5 can't be charged by a powerbank???

what a mess...

Appreciate all the replies, thank you.

Right now I'm using GoPro Hero 5 with 128GB card + USB battery bank to record six straight hours of video.

I'd like better low light performance, so wondering which 1", 4/3 or APS-C cameras don't have 30-minute limit, and can be powered by USB battery bank?

Thank you in advance for any replies.

Disconcerting:

Lower prices, new models?

I didn't realize Art 24-70mm has stabilization?; 

and that the 135mm is internal focusing, and will be the best performing Art lens:

What are the chances SL Mk. II will have IBIS?
