Is not just pre amps, in every way the F4 is going to be better. At only $200 more the F4 is a bargain

Fuzzynormal, they're probably also shooting with all their lights off too and expecting a brightly lit scene to come out.
The reality is even an old and cheap Nikon D5200 should do well enough in 90% of people's usual "lowlight" scenes if handled right.

Awesome. Please good video DPAF and I AM IN. Only thing missing in the GH5 for me.
Then it's gonna be GH5s / A7SIII battle with the A7SIII being a full frame GH5. But honestly for video, sensor size above M43 do not make as much as a difference for my use like in photo.
a7S mk3 will not have all the GH5 specs/features but with a FF sensor.
I'll eat my hat if it does.

Luke, are these frame crabs from the ***** **** ?
I only just realised that is the right number of asterisks for "LUMIX GH5S"
8 hours ago, mercer said:I am by no means an expert on this but don’t you only need 8mp for 4K Video? So a 12mp sensor would be more than enough for good 4K Video while also making it easier to downsample the 6K to 4K in camera for a clean 4K image free of artifacts? Isn’t that why the a7s has near perfect 1080p?
With that being said, I believe the rumor states that the mystery camera will be geared towards high end video, so it’s quite possible that it is a S35mm sensor with an EF mount. Since the EVA1 has an EF mount and there seems to be a whole in their product line... then a $3500 S35mm 12mp GH5s could fill that gap.
Oh god no, please not another EF mount!

Wonder is it a pre-strike against A7SIII which is still no where to be seen or heard
Nah, even the current GH5 I bet will be better than the future a7S mk3
GH5 will keep the edge of at least one of these over the future a7S: waveforms, full size HDMI, 4K 60fps, 10bit internal.

Not sure whether this is just a Black Friday deal or not, but it’s come to my attention that the 7” Ninja Flame, pretty much an Inferno without 4K 60p capability, has been marked down to just $595, a huge savings over the Inferno and putting it up against the Focus.
WHOA!! That is only a hundred bucks more than I paid for my Atomos Samurai Blade (& that itself had just had a massive price drop! One of the key points that helped sway me towards a F3).

Looks like that is not all their shotguns, just all with a 3.5mm connector.

I don't bother really with 60fps, but I think hitting the S&Q button will help speed that up for you?

So you have been using the 422 mostly and being satisfied with it?
Either that or even just the internal recording, such as yesterday when filming a conference all day long as the quality didn't matter that much.

10,000% agreed!
& so we keep on waiting for an AF100 successor to complement the GH5....

Fingers crossed for a new Panasonic EVA1 MFT! ;-)

Not B&H, but those in the UK might want to bennefit form a half price Ursa Mini PL mount.
There are also lots of other great deals on Proav this weekend
Pity it isn't the Pro version, as then I could swap the lens mount out to something else than PL!!

What are the advantages to a GX800 or GX85 other than price difference?
Form factor, IBIS, and UI / usability.
19 hours ago, PannySVHS said:I don´t know why I find this cubic form factor appealing, just like the blackmagic micro cinema and micro studio cameras.
Because a "cube shape" means a poor man's RED?! :-P lol

Yeah but the A7R2 have excellent auto-focus in video , I shoot a lot of fashion video/Mv and that a fantastic feature, It save me the cost of a 1st AD, beside I can shoot moving subject hand held with a 85mm 1.8 wide open in full frame, and I love the look.
1st AD?!?! Hmmm.... strange.
AC perhaps? -

A middle solution would be a Zoom F4/8 and a 416 or a Sound Devices MixPre 6/10 with a 416.
Even though I almost always agree with you Kisaha, in this exception I would say an F4/F8/MixPre6 is *NOT* a "middle solution".
As MixPre6/F4/F8 are very clearly low end options (even if they're at the top end of the low end, and have many features that only a few years ago you'd have only seen in the higher end ones).
The middle range of option is Sound Devices 600 series (664/688/633), Zaxcom Maxx, Sonosax SX-R4+, etc
High end is Aaton Cantar X3, Zaxcom Deva 24, etc
I still feel the F4/F8/MixPre6 are *EXCELLENT* recorders which are amazing for their price, but it is good to keep some perspective here, out of the whole wide range of options out there they are certainly not some middle ground, but instead very much so sit on the cheap side of the price spectrum.On 11/23/2017 at 7:14 AM, Kisaha said:IronFilm has some suggestions in his blog/site, and already mentioned and discussed in this forum.

Seems you've just been unlucky? If anything, I'd say Tascam has perhaps a better reputation than Zoom? (up until the last couple of years, Zoom had zero "pro recorders", while Tascam at least had a presence in that market)But if you really want to avoid Tascam, then consider Marantz?

I was browsing fleabay and noticed a few had gone for US 800 range. Which bugs the question, in the 800-1000 range is the A7S Mk1 still competitive? Just curious on your thoughts! it's fun searching eBay/Craigslist for good cameras at very nice prices.
You could probably get two Panasonic G80 bodies for that secondhand?

The video assist won't accept 4;4;4. It will probably give you a green tinted image if you send 4;4;4. for use with the video assist, set the f3's sdi out S-Log 4;2;2 Use SDI output A, not the 'Video Out' bnc connector. If you're set to 24p you should be sending 24p out of the sdi. the BM video assists seem to sometimes detect the wrong frame rate - on the A7 series they see a 25, 24 and 30p signal as 59.98, but when imported into the timeline you'll see the correct framerate.
It's worth setting the camera to Cine EI mode since it locks you at 800iso and you get the most from the sensor. correctly exposed you can pull or push the 4;2;2 footage a lot before it breaks up. Amazing camera. ps. watch out for the 'shutter on/off' switch down near the bottom left in front of the flip out screen. Set to 'off' gives you 360degree and changing shutter angle won't change anything. catches you out sometimes.

With a humble AF100, which can be bought for less than $700 on the used market, a great looking film can be made.
Or half that apparently! Saw a guy asking a few days ago about if he should buy an AF100 that he got offered for 300 euros :-o

Damn, what a bargain! I spent more than that, but don't regret a single penny of it.
