Youtubes copyright system is so awfull though. People claming videos that are not even theres and videos that dont violate copyright laws.

It's a new era if Vimeo fails to compete.  It's a tough market.  I hope they succeed as, from what I can tell, their VOD streaming service is fair to indy filmmakers...but the tech needs to keep up.
The fact that a VOD film I have on the site doesn't pop up when doing a search of my production company name is maddening.
If anyone knows another VOD service that has a better revenue sharing scheme with equal streaming quality, please inform!

If you want 444 I suggest a Video Devices PIX-E5 
 
But I'm a cheapskate....  which is why I got the F3, so I'm happy with 10bit 422 for now :-)

Well, I couldn't find a reason not to take a punt on a f3 that was going too cheap.  ended up getting a fully unlocked, rgb/slog PMW-F3 for just under £1400 with a full rig/riser setup, and a few different mounts.  I have to say, I'm blown away by how this camera captures light.  gonna be taking a 3g sdi out into a pix240 for 444 uncompressed, or into a a newer recorder for prores 4444.  

For what it's worth, I think protests like what y'all did are great.  However, if you want to talk about insane, imagine being a documentarian and willingly going into situation like this:
 

Insane run 'n gun?  I don't know about that.  Looks like it's less demanding than what most, documentary, news, corporate, and wedding shooters have been doing for decades.

Oh yeah - the Hacked GH2 with MOON T-7!
Still blows me AWAY at how detailed an image it gives. POW! Shoot it like everyone else does - with the SMOOTH profile and everything set to -2.
Then boost your saturation and balance out your contrast in post and it's pretty amazing.
The only reason I don't use them more often is because I can get the higher dynamic range with my Blackmagic cameras. (That cost a lot more!)

Yeah - Add a cheap Mitakon Nikon-to-MFT Version 2 speedbooster and it's ready to really rock! Beats my 2 canon T2i by an enormous amount. Not just a little.

P.S. Make sure you get that speedbooster - it makes THAT MUCH difference. Simply monster.

Oh - my camera list:
GH2 (x2), Canon T2i, Canon 6D, Sony RX100 mkii, Blackmagic Cinema Camera, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera (x3), Samsung NX1.

The G7 is in my view the finest Panasonic camera on the market right now

Well, if you're getting your camera from BH, the kit with the 24-120mm lens is only 300 bucks more. If you were to buy the lens separately, it would cost you a grand, so I would say it is definitely worth it for a constant aperture zoom with image stabilization. IMO. But it's your money. 

I'd put the D750 on the short list for best hybrids. Then G7/A6300/NX1, then A7RII. 

If you already have the lenses, the D750 seems like a no-brainer. 

Shot on the D810, but video quality is almost the same as the D750:
 
Don't worry about lens IS. Grab a cheap monopod; mine is solid as a rock and cost me $5. Combined with an LCD loupe, this style provides results as good or better than VR lenses. 

It's hard to give any more information without knowing more about what you shoot and how. 

D750 video is really nice. Easily on my top 10 list of DSLR style cameras. Its even top 3.

I think the D5500 may be my next camera. In some ways going back to a DSLR that only does 1080p seems dumb, but I just cannot deny that Nikon Flat Profile and it's clean shadows and great 60p. 

Also the Nikon D5500 does great looking 60p

I'd include in the Panasonic G7 as well! A Panasonic G7 should be the #1 4K camera a person first looks at  Some people even prefer it over the GH4.

Best feature about it is.....   CHEAP! :-D And this is more important than you think, as it is still very very early days for 4K in consumer stills cameras. I bet within a year or two we'll see a huge flood of new 4K cameras having been released. So just get a camera for *now*, then upgrade to something else in the future. And the G7 is perfect for that case for a *now* 4K camera.

 

Well....  I have just had a frustrating attempt at communicating with the seller for this:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Miloboo-carbon-fiber-4-sections-microphone-Handheld-Grip-Rig-Support-Rod-Flash-Light-LED-Light-Boom/32332844915.html
Because I wanted clarification on the tip used at the end of the boom pole (if I could run internal cabling through it, like on other Miloboo Z901 ones I've seen listed).
First response: a single happy face emoji! :-o　 What the hell, that is no kind of response at all 　
Thinking that perhaps they did not understand me, I tried again but in Chinese (" 如果你觉得用英文不方便表达，也可以用中文。").
Second response: the single word "sorry". Huh, seriously?
 
Hmmmmm..... I'll take this as a hint to buy from a different seller instead.
 
Thus I feel I shall go with this one here instead:

Yes you can use Luts in Photoshop.
When you open a raw in Photoshop you will get the ACR window. At the bottom it will say "Adobe RGB (1998), 8bit, etc..." click on this. Now select 16bit, and also click "Open in Photoshop as Smart Objects".
This simple step will give you the best quality and let you do RAW adjustments after opening the file in PS (just double click on the thumbnail on the layer window).
Now you can make an Adjustment layer called "Color Lookup" which will let you select a lut. (you can do this without the first step)
 

O.K., but 10-bit and 4:2:2 together are already seven league boots compared to ... (you know)

A7S II is contrast based AF, the A7R II is phase and contrast hybrid.
Phase detect active with Canon lenses with the Metabones adapter on the latter, it can be very fast.
Lack of native NX lenses, hmm... not really!
S 16-50mm F2.0-2.8 OIS?
S 50-150mm F2.8 OIS?
85mm F1.4? (It beats my Zeiss wide open)
30mm F2.0? Lovely cheap pancake
45mm F2.0? Again very cheap, light, fast and sharp!
Those are the best ones... not a bad line up and covers 16-150 all at fast apertures.
AF is best on the S premium zooms
What else would you need? Plus you can adapt Nikon, Sony Alpha and a ton of other lenses to it with adapters.

Are they made of gold?
Same sensor in the gm1, you get three used for the price of a GH2

Those are cool and all but there's just something magical about the gh2 image. And you could get 3 gh2s for the price of a new bmpcc!

But don't you need a c-cam that you can also use as an anvil?
