Apparently this is now pushed back until the 8th of January. That is right around the time of CES 2018.
Makes a LOT more sense. So that it doesn't harm the Christmas sales.

Mostly low light...I'll be shooting some stuff inside a metro station (which is not allowed). So I need to shoot high iso, wide open for maximum light and just pray the AF will be just fine.
That certainly is not the kind of "low light" scenario where a GH5/G80/etc would be unacceptable.23 hours ago, sondreg said:I too am looking for external monitors to replace the external LCD on my camera. I've tried a 7" before which looked great, but it's a bit too clunky. I suppose a 5" will be plenty to judge focus?
Check out the Feelworld F570 (or F550)
5" is ok ish for pulling focus, but bigger is better.
This is why 7" or large is ideal for a 1st AC.
While 5" ish or less is ideal for a cam op. -

At that point, I'll probably need something which also handles external recording.
Is it really that important? Unless you get a resolution boost (like with the a7S mk1) or a bit depth boost (such as GH4 or F3), then I don't see the point. Not a compromise I'd lean towards.

And this why I struggle to see why people would prefer Sony over a Panasonic G80/G85.
(ditto it kinda applies to the next tier up too, GH5 vs a7S/A7R series)

@IronFilm Amen to that! Still waiting for that Canon C100mkIII!
Problem is whenever it finally finally comes out, then it will likely be priced similar to a Panasonic EVA1 / Sony FS5.
But with some weird crippling... perhaps the bloated 4K codec of the 5Dmk4? Or some other weird drawbacks.25 minutes ago, Kisaha said:I am not sure of what prime vs zoom, you are talking about, but for run and gun video workhorses, a zoom (or 2) is a must.
Exactly. Which is why I'd love to have a Fujinon MK18-55mm T2.9 & MK50-135mm T2.9 (and for the occasional high speed use, my cheap Rokinon Cine DS lenses could be used)
But even with their "cheap" prices it would still sadly be only dreaming for me to have them one day. (btw, they work on not just E mount, but FZ mount too! Could be used with my Sony PMW-F3)
However if I was to refocus on camera work, instead of the sound department, then I'd give serious thought to buying it. -

The Fujinon lenses are plastic and unlike the similarly priced all metal Sigma Cinema zooms, they don't cover a full frame sensor; though it's true that the Sigma 50-100mm suffers from breathing and isn't parfocal afaik.

Of Sigma's zooms... that is only the 24-35, so yeah it covers full frame, but it is only one

The gh5 has made me curious about the video on the d850
Or the D500/D7500? (or surely the next update of the D5x00 series will get 4K?)9 hours ago, mercer said:It’s not Panasonic, Sony or Samsung 4K resolution “sharp” but I wouldn’t call it soft. Of course, I tend to like softer video, so that could be subjective.
Do you find it still tends to be sharper than a Canon Rebel though? -
Lucky I don't live in Italy! ha

Thanks for the warning Anaconda_! (pity, as I kinda enjoyed Nightcrawler)

'm guess this is the ikan you're recommending? ikan 5"
I also found this article on Tom Antos blog: MOST AFFORDABLE BRIGHT ON-CAMERA MONITOR WITH PRO FEATURES
No waveforms.
No SDI.
Kinda lacking in the "pro features department" :-/On 12/3/2017 at 3:58 PM, salim said:So I'm getting two different feedback. Some people are telling me, it's better to go 7" and some are telling me for mobility better to go 5".
Very rough rule of thumb to consider:
AC => use 7 inch (or bigger)
Op => use 5 inch (or smaller)
Edit:
Hmmm... been looking into this out of curiosity, and the 5.7" HDMI monitor which is the Feelworld F570 is very tempting. Yes, it is very bare bones, and lacks features I wish it had, but at only US$190 with free shipping, it looks like quite the steal! -

Also rumours Canon will get in the game with a GH5 competitor... XC10 sales better than expected, EF mount version, blah blah blah.
Wouldn't a XC10 with an EF mount (& thus S35 sensor) be simply a C100mk3? -

It would be ironic if this new GH5 was a more 'stills' oriented camera with a higher MP count and reduced video capability.
GH5S = "S" for stills! ;-)

GH5 - Great video/photo hybrid model

That three way split is probably the only way we'll see NDs put into a GH series body?! :-/ -

If you're incapable of doing some very basic math on the fly, then you have bigger problems in your life than using MFT vs S35

@IronFilm - Do you recommend a different lav than what comes with the sony?
Oscar SoundTech Lavs is the usual low budget recommendation.
7 hours ago, salim said:In this companions the Sen's lav seems so much hotter and more sensitive
It is a non-issue. And as you can see the reviewer in the end goes with Sony, as they're the way of the Future. (G3 really needs to be updated to a G4 I reckon) -

I understand that you only purchased the GH5 3 weeks ago, but it has been released since March, that's a bit more than a few months. If there is announcement Dec 15th, at that time you'll have the option to really weigh things out and know if your buyers remorse is justified. Until then, I see no reason why you cant enjoy your GH5 for all the other good things that enticed you to buy it just 3 weeks ago.
By the time it has filled pre orders, and you can buy a "GH5S" off the shelf, then the GH5 original will pretty much have been around for an entire year.
Which is on the short end of a product life cycle, but by no means totally unreasonable or unprecedented.On 12/3/2017 at 8:16 AM, Kisaha said:Fuji is rumored to have a video dedicated new camera soon also, maybe Panasonic is rushing things because a 2000$ APS-C camera, with a lot of native lenses (+recently released cheap cine lenses) and IBIS will compete with their GH5 really soon, rather than a double price-full frame camera from Sony. Buy a GH5 and a couple of lenses, or three, for 3000$, that ain't even the body of the Sony, and then you have to spend two times more for a couple of Sony lenses. I do not believe that a new A7s, that will be close to 4000$, will be the main competitor of the GH5. I am not even sure that Sony can implement 10 bit internal on that camera, but we will see.
It is not just Fuji who will release a $2K APS-C mirrorless camera, but sometime in the next year (or so) then we can expect Nikon will release an APS-C mirrorless camera in around that price point. Now it might be a flop like their N1 mirrorless system, but also it might be massively massively popular because well it is Nikon.
Then you also have Canon, who might surprise us in waking from their slumber with a better EOS-M series camera.
So Panasonic faces a few threats, most probably will not pan out and will disappoint, but only one of them needs to be a hit (such as a mirrorless D5x00 with the insides of a NX1) and then Panasonic could be in trouble.3 hours ago, mkabi said:But, isn't it a bit stupid of any company to announce anything 10 days before christmas and/or boxing day?
I'm thinking of this particular scenario:
Our spouses and/or partner may be thinking of buying you a GH5 for christmas.... and then you say.... no no wait for the December 15 announcement.... then you say... I want a GH5S.... then your partner asks.... when is that going to come out? In February/March.... OH.... Spouse/partner buys you a tie or mug for Christmas.
I have been thinking this myself for a long time, and I'm kinda hoping it is the Dec15 date which is wrong rather than the coming GH5S news which is wrong.3 hours ago, seku said:or if i drink too much during festivities, i'll order the EVA1

I think most here would balk at purchasing $4,000 cinema lenses, but rental's always an option. While it's comparing apples to oranges, I know, these make the Veydra Mini Primes look like an even bigger bargain than they already are at $1,000 each, and X-mount is available as well. The Fujinon lenses are plastic and unlike the similarly priced all metal Sigma Cinema zooms, they don't cover a full frame sensor; though it's true that the Sigma 50-100mm suffers from breathing and isn't parfocal afaik.
I'd rather have one Fujinon zoom than 4x Veydra
Also Sigma's 18-35 & 50-100 don't cover full frame. -

I know people don’t like the idea of an EF mount but at what price point is too high for a micro 4/3 sensor... or is there a price point that is too high?
The AF100 was fairly "expensive", yet nothing at that price level has come out since.
So there is plenty of possible price increases still possible for the MFT ecosystem! (plus the DJI MFT raw camera is much more expensive than the GH5) -

If Panasonic removed the mechanical shutter, would there be enough room for a built-in ND filter?
Absolutely. (just look at the AF100, or any of the E mount series camcorders with NDs)

Well I think this is the body you want to get! Maybe a better one but man this thing looks like a winner for the money. This is a Varicam!
Here is one that is a little gimped up for less money. A Sony, but only 1/2 inch CCD's.
Check Adorama used stuff. I have bought a lot of ENG cameras and ENG lenses from them. About the cheapest around.
For that price just get a Sony PMW-F3 or FS700 instead! -

I'd like to record a dialogue with two people. And I notice Sony also makes a dual receiver: Sony URX-P03D they also sell a packet with two transmitter and one dual channel receiver: but its more expensive than just buying two separate UWP-D11 system. Which is a bet strange. It's almost 50% more expensive
Sadly they're rarer than hens teeth on the secondhand market :-(
I really want one.

If a person uses them on film sets where the TX is expected to be hidden then avoid RodeLinks.

It is a HD camera for sure. I know that Ironfilm has done a film with plenty of cinematic energy and ninja like extravaganza with a Sony F3.
Thanks, but I don't think I have ever said I shot a feature film with the Sony PMW-F3?!?!
There was one I was going to shoot with it, but then I ended up shooting with the Sony PMW-F5 in 4K raw.
However we only did a few days of shooting, now waiting on further funding plus other factors.
What will a mirrorless camera be like in 2023?

I bet one of the Chinese brands will emerge as a major player in the mirrorless world. Such as Yi, Kinefinity, or DJI. Or maybe some Chinese brand will surprise us out of the blue like Aputure and make a camera. Or even more likely, it could be a new brand name we have not even heard of.
