No need for IBIS here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f2b9xsAtnY

Panasonic didn't say they *chose* to remove IBIS, the benefits of not having it was just a thing mentioned in passing to point out "hey, it isn't all bad!" Anyway, this video didn't need IBIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f2b9xsAtnY

I generally want a scene to look *realistic*, doesn't mean it should look identical though! I might go a little brighter (or even a little darker, if that is the mood desired), but to be massively different in appearance to reality? Unlikely I'll take that path.

Yeah, Teradeck is almost an "industry standard", such that people will just say "hey bring a Teradeck" when they don't even mean specifically that but just a wireless in general.

I saw it pretty much immediately, but was waiting on their reply (as I thought surely they must have got it wrong in the review!) before kicking up a fuss over this.

RED? What is that? These cameras can film ALL colors! Not just red ;-)

Simple. You use a very very very very very very very very very very very very tall monopod.

Was so extremely excited and happy over the Panasonic GH5S announcement: http://ironfilm.co.nz/leaked-the-specs-of-the-panasonic-gh5s-finally-we-get-the-first-stills-camera-with-timecode-i-o/ But now I'm starting to get very worried, extrashot just replied in the comments of their YouTube video: Wait... what?? No way, it can't be constantly jammed to the input??? I hope this isn't true in the shipping product. Otherwise I have to ask what were the Panasonic designers smoking at the time?! This is a major major issue that Panasonic needs to address asap!

Is tricky to give advice without knowing your budget range, but here are some suggestions I'd give: Varicam LT: arguably "the best" camera right now (short of an Arri 65 or Sony F65 etc... those truly ridiculous priced ones!). Yes, even better than say the usual Arri Alexa. Plus, you can pick up an EVA1 or GH5S as a great B cam for the Varicam! Sony F5 / F55: the F5 is going very cheap these days secondhand, is packed with more features perhaps than any other camera at this price point. (and you're F3 could stick around as a lovely B cam for its "free" price! ha) Sony FS7: basically is a "baby F5", very similar in picture quality, & capable of 4K 60fps 10bit as well. But lacking many of the extra bonuses you might see on the F5, such as TC or genlock, but you said you don't care about those anyway. URSA Mini Pro: best bang for buck of all of these that I'm mentioning! (unless you get an absolute bargain for an F5, which I've seen occasionally them go for FS7 secondhand prices) The URSA Mini Pro is a lovely evolution forward from the URSA Mini 4.6K (which is itself a *lot* better than its brother the URSA Mini 4K, so don't get those two mixed up when reading reviews!) Kinefinity Terra 4K: gives the URSA Mini Pro a hard run for "value for money", coming close behind. Has an eND option with the Kinemount with EF lenses. (also can do PL lenses, but I don't know of an eND for PL, however I imagine with PL lenses you'd be more ok with using a mattebox as well) EVA1: the most compact 4K 10bit on the market! Super lightweight for a camera with those specs plus S35 + NDs + TC + SDI + etc... and you've got the option between EF or PL with a third party accessories. Ones I would *NOT* consider (but you might, but probably won't... as you're stuck with EF *or* PL, not both! But all the cameras I mentioned above, at a minimum, can switch between EF and PL): Canon C200: lacks a middle codec, you only have the extremes of 8bit or raw!! C300 mk2: overpriced (although, its price has massively come down since launch. So not so crazy to pick it now)

Or even "seventeen stops" if someone is pedantic and totally ignoring noise levels!! :-P This is why it can be so tricky to trust stated DR numbers, unless you see them side by side. (for instance reduser fanboys are well known to overstate DR!) If only that GH5's in your sentence lacked the apostrophe! That awesomeness of own Nikon lenses is you can very easily use them on any EF camera.

We should get extra spare likes to spread around every time Panasonic releases a new camera. Damn, look at the size of that thing! Maybe you need one of those URSA Mini heatsinks/fans to cool you down? Agreed about "tougher nut to crack". Even if Panasonic just got par with Sony (which isn't really that far off?) then it would do wonders for them. But makes business sense for Panasonic to target the "low hanging fruit" that they can do to "get ahead" of the competition, such as 4K DCI 10bit or better lowlight Agreed also about waiting for used copies of the GH5S, what is the rush? I am going to try hard not to buy any cameras this year! (although I am discussing with one person about buying a RED ONE.... oops!)

Hahaha, patent lawyers are hilarious! :-P Which depreciated faster, the RED ONE or the Porsche?! Guessing the RED

Have a serious look into the new GH5S (not the GH5! Different camera). And how are focal reducers "nonsense"? Darn it! Was going to suggest the FS700 with 4K raw. As they're selling for sub $2K on ebay. But what if you had no crop for 120fps? Then there is 240fps with a crop? I'd assume that would still be ok? You can swap it with PL, back and forth between the two. How big may we go with the gimbal? https://www.came-tv.com/collections/came-prodigy/products/came-prodigy-3-axis-gimbal-camera-32bit-boards-with-encoders The URSA Mini Pro and URSA Mini 4.6K are a *lot* better than the URSA Mini 4K / BMPC4K / original URSA 4K.

Shadows? Where? Sorry, I couldn't find any.... How do you know if this was shot with the GH5S?

I've got the same smoke machine as him, but when I was shooting a scene for a feature last month I realised it had broken :-( We had to run out and buy smoke in a can instead A camera mounted mic on *ANY* camera is never going to be a great option.

Haha! If you want it for that purpose, why not just buy an old Arri or Aaton 16mm film camera instead to put on your shelf? Even nicer! :-D

Just because they were both developed at the same time, doesn't mean the R&D costs for the GH5S was "free".

Is this in reference to new cameras?!

From the long term perspective, a lens will depreciate slower than a camera body will. Thus in the long run you'll come out ahead. But no way on earth would I ever be buying any of those Canon DSLRs! :-o With your teeny budget I'd suggest: Secondhand Panasonic G7 Secondhand Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 in Nikon F mount (or similar lens, such as from Tamron) Secondhand Nikon 50mm f1.8 RJ Lens Turbo Panasonic 14mm f2.5 pancake Panasonic 25mm f1.7 Tascam DR10L (your budget is too low for true wireless, but at least having this will massively improve the quality of your talking head videos) Sirui tripod & monopod with a fluidhead CAME-Single gimbal I'd like to also add the suggestion of redheads and a 1x1 LED panel. But I suspect we've already blown your budget!

"Greedy" there was jokingly referring to us the consumers, who are complaining even though Panasonic has been showering us with wonderful cameras!

I purchased cheap medium format lenses secondhand on the anticipation of this happening in the future! ;-) As once medium format digital is cheap, then secondhand prices are going through the rough! (like what happened when APS-C / MFT mirrorless became popular, or heck even once the RED ONE became famous that pushed up prices of old PL lenses! To go even further back in history) So long as you have lenses to match the sensor size, then it is never going to be a big deal at all :-)

The video is long, and it is late, I should be in bed, what exactly are you referring to? (or at least give the exact date stamp)

Very greedy! As Panasonic truly has been on a roll lately with a string of great cameras for us: G85/GH5/G9/EVA1/GH5S/etc @jonpais , I said: Thus when I was commenting on how unusual it is for GH5 to offer TC in a couple of their cheap cameras, I was quite clearly referring to cameras in general and not limiting it to mirrorless (or DSLRs).

Not worth it! Not when you can get an URSA Mini 4K for less. However, this one is going for even cheaper (US$3,350 or "make an offer"): https://www.ebay.com/itm/AJA-CION-4K-UHD-Camera-with-V-type-AB-EF-PL-VCT-Zacuto-Pelican-1510/192405600975 What other cameras have you used, RED ONE / FS700 / URSA / URSA Mini / Arri Alexa / F3 / F5 / etc? And out of those cameras, when you say "giant" how does it compare? Bigger/smaller/heavier/lighter? Both in reality, and in how it felt to you. (because a camera can be technically bigger, but "feel smaller" due to a good design. Or the opposite!)

Different companies have different priorities for their reputations. (and companies can also misjudge the impact of compromising in one area over another) Sony is gunning for "small" and "full frame" (which leads to overheating and poor battery life, that is their trade off) Panasonic is gunning for "reliable" and "long battery life". Small/FF certainly is popular with hobbyists! Reliable/battery is popular with professionals! #potstirring hahahaha! Ok, I'll give you a point or two there. 6K anamorphic, very true! Is hard to count the cameras on your fingers that can do this for sub $10K and need more than one hand. ETC mode? Been around since GH2 IBIS? Common as chips. Articulated screen????? Ditto!!! Even more so.
