  1. Check out Jahshaka, Blender, and Lightworks.
  2. Totally and blatantly FAKE! The PDF was awful.
  3. ​It helps a *lot* for a camera to have (at least) one "killer feature" for it to get attention For instance the GH4 was first (ICL at a non-insane price) with 4K. Killer feature! A7s has insane low light. Killer feature! NX1 lacks a similar "key feature" that can instantly sell itself to the average joe out there. 240fps FHD would be that!
  4. There is nothing really "new" in the link I just shared. But the fact Noam Kroll posted this (a guy who almost never posts rumours) lends a lot of weight to this likely happening in at least some kind of form. Which makes this all the more exciting. @DigitalEd or at the very least it would put a lot of pressure on JVC to drop its price hugely. Certainly, it makes no sense to buy a JVC now before April the 13th! (I'm counting down each day.... although such a camera is well outside my current price bracket, but of those specs are legit I'll have to make an exception somehow!)
  5. Remember even if these rumours are "real" and it does launch with those specs, it is just marketing spin. So 16+ stops dynamic range might turn out to be "just" 13 stops. And ditto clean 12,800 ISO, might be 6,400 ISO instead But hey, if that ends up being the reality instead, I'll still be very very VERY happy about that! :-D
  6. From Noam Kroll: http://noamkroll.com/the-rumored-4k-panasonic-af100-replacement-is-said-to-have-some-amazing-features-is-it-too-good-to-be-true/
  7. Bet it will be a cross between a FZ1000 / C100 / RX10 / LX100 / PWX-70, yet still priced closer to a C100 than a GH4 Probably not too excited, but it may help prevent some of the leakage away from Canon.
  8. ​That is very very silly if you think an old 5Dmk2 is better than all of GH4/A7s/NX1. Heck, I think it is even debatable if the stock 5Dmk2 is truly that much better at filming than even the original GH1 (which can be got for a mere $150 now on eBay).
  9. ​SAY WHAT?? :-o Oh my goodness, both NX500 and LX100 have a 15 minute limit? (for 4K/UHD)
  10. Oops.... stupid typo on the tablet while I was half asleep in bed... I *do* know it is NX mount! :-o
  11. Holy moley, HALF OFF! Wish I could get a piece of that action....
  12. I am very seriously looking at this cage: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Top-Handle-Grip-With-Camera-Cage-Strap-Kit-For-DSLR-Panasonic-Lumix-Camera-GH6-/271713319061 I am ​hopeful to use it with my D5200 and A5100 currently, then a GH4 when I later get it. And leave the door open for possibly using it with a NX1 too. I've been having a careful look here, and I think it might just fit (would be close though, tight fit maybe!):http://camerasize.com/compare/#525,393 Otherwise, this one will surely fit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HONU-Camera-Camcorder-Cage-For-Panasonic-Lumix-M43-Gh-Gh4-4k-Gh3-Mirrorless-/221543970447
  13. Be mad to get a 5Dmk2 when so many cheaper and better solutions exist! I say just get a GH4 with a GH1 as a back up (as you never want to only have one camera, especially not for documentaries!).
  14. Ah my bad... I think I was thinking of some other camera :-/ Perhaps I had in mind the A7s? Which is only switchable in some models, but not all (such as the one sold in the USA can't).Ah well, just got to hope for H.265 support now from major NLEs and built in variable ND adapters. As sadly neither Fotodiox or HolyManta make it for Samsung NX mount. As being able to rig up a Samsung NX1 together with "built in" variable ND filters would make it an incredible set up for run and gun work indoors/outdoors, such as weddings. Putting it that bit closer to being a decent competitor the video cameras of the world such as C100/AF100/FS700/FS7/C300/etc but at a much much lower price.
  15. If a person does a Nikon F (or even Canon EF... ) to Samsung NX adapter with built in good ND filters (with a zero ND setting too would be ideal) and major NLE's add H.265 support and Samsung makes it PAL/NTSC switchable then I'll find the NX1 incredibly hard to resist! Samsung doesn't even need to do any more other major improvements (though simple things like removing the recording limit would be nice too...), just if those three things happened tomorrow I'd then get a NX1.
  16. Check out CHDK, if I remember right that project has got some scripts/options to shoot in 3D with two P&S Canon cameras.
  17. The cheapest decently high quality way to do it with an ICL is to buy a Samsung NX300 and get their 3D 45mm f/1.8 lens. (I've got the NX300 myself, will get the lens sometime soon)

    Speed Booster?

    Nikon F is most of my lenses, and the BMPCC is m4/3 Thus I use a Nikon F to m4/3 But you'd want C/Y to m4/3 (or possible a C/Y to EF then a EF to m4/3, and stack them together).
  19. As the house is probably burning at night, AND the a7s cost more, I'd of course grab the Sony!
  20. Oh well, is confirming the bad news. Same sensor as the NX1. But very crippled, if that is something Samsung did intentionally (hope not?) or is due to its cheaper lower end processor, don't know. A little part of me hoped it would be different.... as Samsung went so balls to the wall with the NX1 in not holding back. Maybe maybe the NX500 might be fixed with future firmware updates, like the NX1 was greatly improved with lots of firmware updates. The NX500 is still a heaps better camera than 90% of others in its price point. Just not what I'd hoped. Was thinking NX1/NX500/NX300 could be an interesting set up for next wedding season. But ruling that out now, I think it will surely be GH4/GH2/GH1 for me. The extra price gap for Samsung NX set up doesn't justify the performance jump for me.
  21. If that is true, the NX500 is a complete write off for me :-( Such a pity, had high hopes this could be "the one". After how Samsung wasn't holding back with the NX1 I was kinda expecting Samsung wouldn't be indulging in these games of crippling lower end products.

    Speed Booster?

    I purchased it via Personal-View forum's. Dumb EF means it doesn't have electronic connectors.

    Speed Booster?

    I recommend RJ Lens Turbo, it costs a mere fraction of the Metabones standard 0.7x focal reducer. And yes, it comes in C/Y mount (or you could use a dumb EF, which they sell too). RJ Lens Turbo is what I use myself on my BMPCC (RJ Lens Turbo is really the only good Chinese alternative focal reducer for m4/3. as I'll agree all the others are rubbish! Except for Mitakon if you're looking for one for Sony E mount). Otherwise, splurge out and get the dedicated BMPCC Metabones speedbooster, but just remember you won't be able to use it on a GH4 (or GH5...) if you get one of those in the future.
  24. The Sony A7000 might meet your hopes. That is the one I'll be the most excited to see what it is. I'd also hope it is time to see a FS200/FS1, though read zero rumours about that. Plus will be keeping my fingers crossed Panasonic brings out a G7 and AF200. I'll be expecting a Canon C300mk2 as well, but I expect it to be overpriced and boring. Blackmagic Design probably will surprise us again, but I highly doubt it will be a BMCC v2 or BMPCC v2 which is what I really want to see.
