That is exactly what I did as well, except mine was a full size cage from Camtree. I never had to worry about the HDMI port ever!
  
It's confirmed that Jeromy Young is from the West Island of New Zealand. 
 

That’s my illusion of YouTube well and truly shattered. 
Say it isn’t so? Next you will be telling me that Sony ambassadors only say good things about Sony products or they won’t get any future kit to test?
Oh well, at least there is still integrity and honesty in politics.

Not in my neck of the woods. When the pandemic was at its peak, county authorities ordered Elon Musk to shut down the Tesla factory in Fremont, CA. He refused at first, claiming Tesla was an "essential business" (essential businesses were exempt from the order). Public outrage and pressure from the authorities finally got him to relent. This incident is believed by many to be the reason Musk decided to move the company headquarters to Texas.

The only thing I don't like is they use NZ flag 😂

Still resisting, only a Smallrig half case for the X-S20 - just to prevent bottom mark to when I (maybe) sell it in some years.

Of course, when you are restrained, temptations rains from everywhere. Was looking for almost 2 years to find a Olympus Pen F (because it is the most gorgeous digital camera that I've saw) or a LX100 MK II (that solve the biggest problem with my OG LX100 - crappy JPGs) without success, and now just find a LX100 II with a good price and pratically new, and a pristine Pen F with the 17mm f/2.8 with an AMAZING price.

But resisted. In the end of the day, they would sit unused - even my X-S20 is subutilized these days, working like a slave here...

Portability likely trumped out and won in the end. A Convergent Design Odyssey 7Q isn't exactly an easy hassle free approach vs a lightweight little Hyperdeck (or perhaps if he was doing it today, an Atomos Ninja Star???? Maybe)

I don't care who is running the camera division at Panasonic, but would really like to see an EVA1 successor.  It will probably be L mount and full frame, which is okay with me.  Would love to have the Focus Squares focus peaking from the EVA1.  Needs to have a movable viewfinder, or low latency HDMI and SDI ports, and dual CF Express type B cards.

Although its now discontinued, the camera that still annoys me at holding its value secondhand is the Canon XC10/15.
It should be like £150-200 now but it most certainly isn't.

On so many threads, I have to resist the temptation to just say "we should all just buy an FZ2000/2500 and get on with it" but its never far from my thoughts !
Again, its one of those where if they incorporated a couple of things like 10bit and PDAF into a newer version it might get a wider audience. Not bothered about the IBIS because the hybrid stabilisation in it is pretty great.
 

You've been at this for even longer than I have. But I feel that the lines of "commercial" shoots have blurred a lot. I used to think the category of "Commercial" was reserved for high concept crewed shoots that were intended for broadcast. There are still definitely those that fall into that category. But I'm seeing a lot more single creators with no crew and a mirrorless camera shooting social media spots for some brands (of course, it's all professionally color-graded). I personally do a lot of product videos, usually as a crew of two plus a producer, and never with a storyboard. I've never felt comfortable calling them "Commercial", but lately it seems like I might be able to. They are, after all, designed to sell a product. Curious what your thoughts on it are.

AI will not remain static. It'll continually get better and better to the point where it will stop generating "dubious code" and generate code just as good, or better than what a human can generate.

I think the demand for Juniors/Interns in that field is probably going to soon drop off a cliff, but I think the demand for Senior Software Developers will remain strong for years to come 

Maybe them merging is good news?? When we consider all the negative infighting between the pro video and consumer divisions (because they pro division was very jealous of the success of the GH series. I bet for instance that's why we never ever saw a Panasonic EVA1 MFT, even though that made 100% sense!). 
As maybe, just maybe we'll see them now working together?? 
Bring on the Panasonic EVA2 with L Mount!
Yes, Panasonic GH4 was the first non-cinema hybrid camera (as the 1D C was part of Canon's cinema series, although in a hybrid camera form factor). And the Nikon D5/D500 was the first 4K DSLR (as the GH4 was mirrorless). 

Yeah the GH1 was groundbreaking itself, as were the ones after it, the GH4 and even GH5. 
But the competition is so hot now, GH7 needs something "big" in it. And 8K or raw won't do it. 
Internal NDs are what we need! (and/or SDI out.... please??)

If Lumix wants to blow everyone out of the water ( now they have decent AF) they should release a S1H2 and a GH7 with some kind of ND. The S2 would be fine being a high res photo centric version without ND.
Also 6K open gate 50p no crop.
If they can do that for around 4000€ along with all their other strong points then I’m in.

In the race to 8K, 12K, and beyond, how much resolution do we really need to tell a story? I brought my trusty FZ47 on a little New Year's trip to Arizona, and I think that 640x480 might just be enough:
Technical: I scaled up to 1920x1440 (no "smart" or AI rescaling). I did not add any sharpening or softening to the image, and I resisted the urge to clean up the digital artifacts and just embraced them instead. I did however do a little color work.
I was actually shocked by how good this footage looks, probably because it's progressive and not interlaced. I think I'd put this footage up against the DVX100, XL1/2, or comparable camera. And as we've seen in the 8-bit grading tests that @kye shared with us, it's kind of shocking how much you can push the image around in post (especially if you are either okay with some macro-blocking, or willing to soften/hide it). I think that's part of what makes this camera so much fun.
Is there a unique aesthetic afforded by this low resolution? I'm not sure. I've degraded 1080P footage to have a similar level of detail in the past. The compression artifacts are definitely smaller and easier to hide. But in full motion, I feel like they add a nice texture.

I try to do this. 
But that is not how my brain works. 
I only see my mistakes immediately AFTER I have pressed the "submit" button! haha
 
Yeah, it's a pity. 
I feel that the timer should be longer. Say if it was an hour long. 
Then if you post, then someone else replies at some point in the future, and you then reply back after trying to edit it, welllll..... the hour probably has expired already? (for instance, your reply to me just now, over two hours has passed!) 
But if you're just taking your time to read through the thread, and you get other thoughts you want to add to your post as you read further into the thread, well it's unlikely you'll take longer than a whole hour to read to the end of the thread? 

yeah, linear vs log
Plus ARRI can do 12bit prores too

I remember reading there was so sort of compatibility issues with BMD cameras and the newer Samsung drives?
But checking it out quickly shows this post from a couple of days ago, saying T9 is all good:
https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=190756 
This post says T7 is bad:
https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=165083
But now the SamsungT7 Shield Portable SSD 1TB / 2TB / 4TB is listed as supported:
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/faq/59025 
So they found a way?? And updated the firmware. (as the 2nd forum post was a little while ago) 
Thus either would be fine??? If the price difference is only small, get the T9
Edit:
ahhhh... it was about the Shield vs non-Shield versions of the T7:

Remote focus control doesn’t mean it needs to be auto focus.
They are not the same thing.
It is precisely because BM cameras don’t have continuous autofocus (well mine do actually) that a remote follow focus is required.
Claiming that people don’t use current BM cameras on gimbals because they don’t have continuous autofocus is a complete nonsense.
The box nature of this new one makes it even more applicable as it is easier to balance.

seems to me that u43 will revive due to this bmcc4k g2 and g9 ii. 

12g sdi in and out, hdmi out, usb-c. these are great to rig up the camera using 15mm rail system. 
hope the bottom has an additional locking pin socket in addition to the apparent 1/4 or 3/8 socket. i experience a lot that the rails rotate due to only one socket at the bottom of the camera (mostly dslr or mirrorless, not the camcorder type body)
i think this one can pair with a ninja v or v+ or a bmva 12g 5 inch, a t5/7/9 ssd, some smallrig cage specifically designed for this. at $2000, this can be very useful and low profile, good for traveling or street shooting. 
also importantly, u43 sensor means a lot of 43 or u43 lenses can have latest 4k raw recording capability. 
this one bmcc4k g2 vs g9 ii, or paired with g9 ii, can be a powerful setup for being small and nimble, yet modern and high res. 

this is very promising. small size, 4k raw, just need an external monitor/recorder. 

Leaving Bluetooth control out of it is a ridiculous decision.
There are of course different ways to control it and yes it is primarily for broadcast but they must know full well that this camera is going to find its way into a lot of filmmaker's hands (hence why they've included the recording features) and in particular onto a lot of gimbals.
Leaving out the option to control it without those other pieces of interfacing gear is real cripple hammer territory.
If its in there but just disabled then they really should enable it toot suite.
At least the original micro had the expansion port connector to enable controllers to be made for it.

I’ve got 7 years so might just beat it being ‘above mid market’ 😉
