  1. I'm sure they are working on it, and I'm hopeful it will be fine, but nobody here can say for sure except Brian Caldwell.
  2. The XL is .64 X, not .71. Are you sure you don't have the Ultra?
  3. I get what you're saying, but in this forum at least, are we really concerned about what the general public sees, or what soccer moms would notice? I know I'm not, or I would still be shooting video with my Canon Power Shot...
  4. Jealous! Mine won't arrive till April or even May. Variable aperture universal zoom or no ( ), I'm really liking the compactness of going out with one native lens mounted on the camera and two fast primes in a small bag. Especially now that I'll be going out on location with lighting gear - I can still carry almost everything by myself (at least to the street corner, where I'll take a taxi).
  5. Got it! ? If the content is engaging, people nitpick less. Unless the defects are glaring anyhow. Back in 1998 I think it was, when I saw the Danish film Festen (Celebration), shot on DV, one of the ugliest looking images I'd ever seen, but to this day, among the most powerful films in my experience.
  6. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by composition - composition of which shot? "Composition needs to be strong at ISO 12800" - could you clarify this for us a bit? ?
  7. Hugh Brownstone decides the GH5 is a keeper. Here he does low light tests. Unlike so many of these talking heads whose faces look like magenta marshmallow blobs (99% of what I've seen here), Hugh at least has enough respect for his audience to correctly light, expose, and white balance his face. I can't really take many of these other reviewers seriously when they don't even know the very basics of photography. And yes, I will be getting the GH5.
  8. Not a good idea to do a shoot with a brand new camera you haven't had time to play with first.
  9. USB 3.1 has double the transfer speed of USB 3. Type C refers to a smaller port and it's reversible, meaning you can insert the cable either way. Not all Type C ports run on the 3.1 specification however - in fact, they may actually be running USB 2.0.
  10. It's also to increase battery life.
  11. Nobody's talking about hating anything, and it doesn't sound to me like anyone is trying to come across as smarter than anybody else. 'Not a fan of this in & out focus technique' sounds like a perfectly reasonable and sane critique to me. And nobody that I know of was attacking anybody personally.
  12. so offloading the SD card is twice as fast as USB-C?
  13. Could you check to see if there are any light leaks in the camera? ?
  14. My G85 does the same thing, super annoying, especially when I'm trying to see myself while vlogging at home.
  15. @Andrew Reid I like the chunky mic level meter on the LCD. Is there any way to adjust record levels without diving into the menu or using the awkwardly placed icon on the LCD, which is at the very edge of the screen on my G85?

    Lenses

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the faster lenses should also have nicer bokeh and shallower depth of field, regardless of T-stop, and that counts for something, no?
  17. Anyhow, splash proof does not guarantee against damage when the camera comes in direct contact with water. So the same precautions apply.
  18. I downloaded the advanced manual online.
