This interests me even more than the 8K

Remember to do the firmware update for the a6000, if it hasn't already had it. As then you gain XAVC (the lack of it initially in the a6000 is one reason I purchased the a5100 instead)

So what? So long as you've got the right selection of lenses to match the field of views you choose for the shots you want, then it does not matter at all. I think you might be lying to yourself.... because on one hand you say "I don't care about specs" but then immediately in the same breath you place the importance of ONE spec above all others! ("full frame", or 135 format) There is an awfully mighty big contradiction right there! So do specs matter, or do they not? If specs don't matter, just go browse B&H, filter by your budget. Then throw a dart at the top 24 as your way to select your next camera! (you'll probably get a Canon https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Digital-Cameras/ci/9811/N/4288586282 Am quite a fan of the lens! Own one myself. Only bad thing I can say about the Sony 18-105m f4 (other than it being f4, but you can't expect faster with this price/size and still having a 6x zoom!) is it doesn't play nicely with FS raw from the FS700 (lacks image correction)

Not Audio Ltd? Sweet score for a hundred bucks!! Congrats

A good hands on look at the menus for the Zoom F1:

They've had a few changes in ownership structures over the past decade. But you'd at least hope with their long heritage they have a better shot than most at making a decent product. Their Marantz PMD-706 recorder is another new product they brought out recently: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1340332-REG/marantz_professional_pmd_706_6_channel_dslr_recorder_recording.html And early reviews of it seem to be promising: http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=179428.0 Marantz might replace the Tascam DR70D as the default recommendation I give for a low budget recorder at that price point. (sub US$300) Will reserve judgement on the Marantz PMD-750 Digital Wireless until more reviews come out, but just maybe this might be the product which replace the Sony UWP-D11 as my default low budget wireless recommendation. (but doubtful, I don't even think Marantz PMD-750 is the best shot chance at taking the low budget throne, probably at #2 chance in the betting odds. My odds on favorite is the new Senal AWS-2000 at the moment)

But sound quality is everything? That is exactly why people buy high end gear. It is like ignoring the picture quality from a camera. Well, actually sound quality + usability is everything! (then is just a question of how it fits in your budget)

Ran out of likes for the day! But yup yup yup, even without knowing what company he works (& I note Mark's reply he works for several) for you could guess fuzzy's statements will be 90% on the mark just from my general knowledge of the real estate market and their demands. Exactly Exactly x2 Sure there are some that pay a bit more, but in the grand scheme of it, none of the real estate companies do (except for a teeny tiny number perhaps, rare exceptions, not enough to base career decisions on).

Strength and noise floor are not the same thing. Resistance to interference is not the same thing as strength either. Details of design matter too, Lectrosonics has many more options for body back recorders (some of which are MUCH smaller than a G3) and their transmitters are much more bag or cart friendly than a G3 is. Agreed Sennheiser AVX is not a good choice for us. Dunno if I can see why an "upgrade" from the 100 series G3 to the equivalent G4 is worth it.

I'll admit it took me more than a moment to spot where it was :-/

I have a friend who is shooting professionally with the RX10mk2 + BMCC EF Sure it isn't a perfect camera, but is better than many others have used it.

I'm desperate to ask..... HOW? :-o Why? A Panasonic G80/G85 would probably be cheaper, and surely would be better for filming with. Lowlight with the Panasonic cameras is getting better with every generation. The G7 is better than the GH4 in lowlight. And now we have the GH5S! The new "king of lowlight" Plus with focal reducers or a T0.95 lens then you've nothing to worry about (as for "crop factors", ignore the F.U.D. from the competition! This is a total non issue) Here is that old GH2 again: And if you're a non-pro I reckon it is even more important to maximise your bang for buck if you're feeling the budget is tight. So that means secondhand Panasonic G7, or G80/G85 If you can only buy ONE lens then I'd say your budget is either way too low, or badly missallocated and you should shift some of the camera body budget over to the lens budget. (or look at cheaper lenses) This! Own a G6 myself, and the only thing the G6 loses is no live HDMI out :-/ https://www.eoshd.com/2013/07/panasonic-g6-review-the-gh2-redux/ So called "full frame" (i.e. 135 format) doesn't automatically mean better lowlight. I'd rather use a BMPCC with a 1" / S16 sensor in lowlight than a "full frame" 5DmkII!

Your username checks out.

Never seen this product before, as it is a brand brand new product that isn't shipping yet. But as a Marantz it should be worth checking out. Has a low low price of US$399 2.4 GHz Digital Transmitter (like RodeLink, no need to worry about what frequencies are legal) All info on the top, which is nice. But perhaps my favorite feature: "Receiver Can Pair to Two Transmitters". Handy! Annoyingly the input is a 4 pin XLR, which doesn't match up with any transmitters I own currently. Unfortunately it is not shipping yet, and there are no reviews of it online, but it looks like a product to keep an eye on! https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1340330-REG/marantz_professional_pmd_750_2_4ghz_camera_mount_wireless.html

Jagnje, well you probably need to keep on waiting.... like I said, it is the 1" sensor from their studio cameras. Not the same 1" sensor as in the BMPCC with its high DR

https://www.sounddevices.com/news/sound-devices-news/sound-devices-acquires-audio-ltd Late last year Sound Devices became the North American distributor for Audio Ltd. https://www.sounddevices.com/news/sound-devices-news/sound-devices-named-north-american-distributor-for-audio-ltd Sound Rolling just uploaded about this:

Right, well if you're shooting with $100K new of still photography gear I doubt you're shooting alone, but with a crew (even if just a very small one). Totally different scale we're talking about here. Indeed! Constant light output can never match that from a flash

What is it?

Nothing to write home about. At least not for the 100 series (which is what people usually mean when they say "G3", or now "G4"). Some improvements with the 500 series, but at their higher price point I think a person should just seriously think about Lectrosonics/Wisycom/Zaxcom/AudioLtd/etc instead. Often people seem to not have a clue at the true value of items (leading to prices waaaaaaay too high, but also prices waaaaaaay too low!). I've paid prices kinda similar to that myself in the past for wireless. Sometimes you get lucky! ;-) But do double read the auction, and inspect the pictures carefully.

A-Band is 516 - 558 MHz, and I thought that is still legal in Toronto and going to stay so (at least for now)?? But what do I know.... I'm not a local. It is a weird thing indeed! I wonder what causes it. Likely the algorithm to determine hyperlinks is screwed up. (".it" would make more sense.... but this dot is at the end of it. Not the start of it.) Edit: well... that quirk seems gone, we can no longer see it.

$100K? What are you referring, houses that are $100K? I assume not.... $100K per job? Ha, we wish! A $100K of gear? Nope, you don't need that much:

Assuming that it is a legal frequency (and will remain so for the foreseeable future, and isn't congested in your city), I wouldn't even think about it.... just do it. That is a low price! Assuming also you have a need for it, that you would use it as a plant mic or a reporter's mic or whatever.

Disappointed, thought you might be an octopus!

Absolutely agreed! Which is why I said:
