The way you elaborated your thinking much well structured BTW and you finish worried with Netflix... : D

Man, how on earth would they or anyone refuse anything properly exposed from and with this camera?!

; )

 

In Portuguese from Brazil: "Não tem como!" né? @Márcio Kabke Pinheiro ;- )

"Não tem como" buy a Red camera in Brazil, with the import taxes and general vendors greed.

A Komodo will probably cost more than a full equipped SUV here.

Bride : Did you have any prior warning that it might be prone to overheating and not being able to record for more than a few minutes ?

Film maker : Absolutely not, no.

The Internet: 

 

Priest: "If any of you has a reason why these two should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace." 

Film maker: "WAIT THIS PEACE OF SHIT IS OVERHEATING!"

Bride to groom: "See? I said to you to use a lighter fabric in your clothes"

Yes it's true I am changing to SLOG.com and everything will have a magenta tint.

Or could keep some relation with latest EOS developments and rename to OvenHD.

The stolen data is more than a smoking gun email about the R5 overheating.   What a bunch of loser hackers that do this.  Don't worry they always get caught.

In this case, not. Looks like that they were targeted by Maze, a ransomware group, that already hacked LG and Xerox. Garmin was targeted by another group these days and reportedely paid some millions to recover their data. It's a professional job.

I could do you one between the 12-32 and the PanaLeica 12-60 as I actually have them both on my bench at the moment because I'm "up to something" with them.

On the basis that if it competes with that far more expensive one then you'd be on to a winner ?

It wouldn't be very elaborate as I'm too stretched to go anywhere (so a Spyder LensCal and ColorChecker at say 12, 26, 24 and 32 would be the scope of it) and it wouldn't be for a few days but let me know.

Thanks for the offer @BTM_Pix, but have all of them here with me, hehehe - just don't have the time / skill to do a proper test (Covid + tons of work + baby in the house). Would be for stills, for instance - just to know the better one to bring in (future) trips. 

Test that I would like to see and never found: a comparison between the Panasonic cheap kit zooms. The 12-32 pancake, the 14-42 II (the smaller one, not the first version that came in the GH2 times, which is garbage) and the 12-60 (not the Panaleica).

The sites that tested the 3 always used distinct methods / cameras.

XT3 you can switch between stills and video but you need to enable silent mode.

SInce I'm considering a Fuji future, I was just asking you about it...but if you enable silent mode, you can't use any dials to change the settings, no? Ok, aperture is usually on the lens, but you can assing ISO to the front or back dial?

And how you enagage it, could map a button to press?

Its a lovely little lens.

I've always got my eye out for the 75mm too but I have an unrealistically low price in mind after missing out on one at a Cash Converters for £200 a couple of years ago so it still eludes me!

Have it, love it. Only problem - not always trivial to use a 150mm eq lens anywhere. 🙂

The 3 MFT lenses that, when I browse through my photos and find one that gets my attention, 90% of time was taken with the Oly 75mm 1.8, Oly 54mm 1.8 or the Panasonic 20mm 1.7.

2020, crazy year. Where the discussion about top video mirrorless camera moving from "overrated" to "overheated".

Back to the camera: the E-M10 MK IV was released - so undewhelmed that maybe it do not justifies a separate topic.

Get the E-M10 MK III, put the 20mp sensor, a slightly better grip, a flip down screen (useless when filming handheld with a small tripod), slight better AF and...that is.

Say what you will about Phillip Bloom but I found his hour plus piece on the A7SIII to be quite enjoyable. Well enjoyed over a cup of fine coffee as I did. I do take his review for what it’s worth as again he is paid and he does have access to nice and expensive Sony glass (of which I do not). For those of us who casually shoot and can’t afford the $3500 body, surely there will be a trickle down of some of these features to the a6XXX line at some point right?

I doubt it. Sony really does not care for its APS-C line. They are iterating it A6000 body forever, reusing the sensor with horrendous rolling shutter, and never responding to Fuji dominance on the format.
It is only a cheaper gateway to E-mount, just there hoping that people jumps after to FF.

Just commented in the Dpreview post exactly what you've said, @Andrew Reid - the R5 was and is marketed as a professional video tool.

But I guess that they only could do a recall if the overheating happens constantly in stills modes too.

In the photo forums that I've looked, they are giving a damn about video overheating. And stills shooters still (no pun intended) makes the most of the sales.

There is no cable release of which I am aware, but one can release the shutter through the wifi app.  Not sure how one can control the wifi app with an Arduino.

I think that our house resident genius @BTM_Pix never worked with the Olympus wifi protocols, but I think that he can bring some guidance. Since @leslie is working with Adruino stuff, probably have some programming knowledge to discover a way.

How these phones are working with other camera  / movie apps? And the stills raw modes?

Would love to see how they work using Filmic Pro.

Agreed. I just need reassurances that M43 is going to still be relevant, otherwise it doesn't make sense to invest more into the system. 

Indeed.

Since I'm probably the sole m4/3 user and a complete amateur, each purchase decision is for my pleasure only - no chance to get the value back with gigs.

Don't have interest in full frame cameras, since (as I'm not a professional) I value much more lightness and compactness than pure image quality. Besides low light performance (kind of important to me since I like to do video / stills in concerts - had some of my stills published in some Instagram's bands) and lack of good video AF (less with the PDAF's Olympus), m4/3 have all the quality that I need.

But in my view, things are not rosy in the m4/3 camp. Don't see JIP making Olympus relevant again. And each Panasonic's m4/3 offering since the GH5/GH5s/G9 are increasingly disastrous. And no rumours, no new roadmaps, nothing is coming out.

Right now, after a boatload of bodies that I've got, I have a E-M10 MK III and a GX9 (except for the 4k crop, is it better than I've expected). Would like to have a E-M1 MK II or III or the E-M5 MK III because PDAF (and which is probably one of the best patents - only could be a strong patent to not be copied - that thay have, that are their long exposure modes with instant preview), but...now, I do not see a future, at least with bigger companies (still think, as @sanveer, that m4/3  stillhave a relevant role in niche video).

I'll be offloading all the lenses that I have few use (even maybe my preferred one, the amazing Oly 75mm 1.8), and I see two paths for me:
- Move to Fuji, since is the closer to size / weight to m4/3 - albeit my few experiences with Fuji were very strange, most worst results than m4/3 but when it gets better, were MUCH better;
- Keep only a minimal m4/3 kit, wait for both Olympus and Panasonic killing their m4/3 lines, and grab bodies / lenses new or slightly used for cheap and use it until everything dies, than choose with the surviving options.

In front is a tally light, no ToF sensor. S1H have the same arrangement, only vertical.

First images of the camera. Looks like the body is a little fatter, but tough to say with any certainty.

 

But the rest is EXACTLY the A7R IV - they switched positions between C1 and Rec, and...that it is.

Looks like it didn't last long outdoors in 8K for Toneh before it got Smokeh.

Is his case probably it even overheated sooner, due to the power line to the lens overheating too, trying to keep that bush in his chin in focus at f/1.2.

I’d be happy with the 12mp. Would like improvements in ergonomics, hdmi port & weather resistant build quality. Possibly unlikely.  Anyone wanting a hybrid has the A7 series?

For some unknown reason the 1DXiii has been calling recently...

Always said that I dream a Panasonic GX body with the GH5s sensor, IBIS and PDAF...

Probably cost. The specs explain the $10k price tag, but it also probably covers the increase in sensor costs since the camera itself isn't wildly different than previous URSA cameras, using most of the same tech. 

Yeah, but my question was about the other makers. Why they not choose other supplier? If BM can finance a newly developed custom sensor for a camera that will generate less revenue than a regular camera (even with the 10k price), why the others still uses Sony sensors?

Has Olympus put a PDAF sensor in ANY camera other than the EM1 (1,2,3 and X)?    

I would love it if they did because I want as cheap a camera as I can find to adapt my two 43s DSLR lenses and they really need a PDAF camera (mine have issues so may not work at all or only partly so currently the lead candidate is a used EM1 mark 1).

History tells me they will not put it in any camera as it stands and might be a small part of what has killed them, to do so now would be too little too late and a bit of a WTF moment.

Fuji have PDAF in their entire lineup (XT-4 to X-A7), yes, Olympus is wrong.

Interesting that Olympus have all in hand to make the perfect vlogger camera - which looks like a target demographic now.

Get the E-M10 MK III (or the new IV), put the E-M5 MK III sensor with PDAF, make some work with the AF especially with eye / face detect, correct the auto exposure in video (Camera Conspiracies had a very good video about it) headphone and mic jack. Maybe ditch the EVF if it is not needed by them (I really don't know). Put a flippy screen and a $699 price (or $799 with EVF) and bingo.

Bottom line is this camera is a game changer for BM. It’s the camera where finally a custom made sensor and BRAW come together. REDs are jewelry cameras in a way. A status symbol work tool. The Hilti power tool guys that can’t believe you used Dewalt to make your deck.

Now what they should do is get BRAW in other brands cameras ASAP.

This custom sensor is a very interesting story. 

If BM, a much smaller company than Nikon, Panasonic, Olympus, Fuji, etc...could design and order to manufacture a custom sensor (and, by the description, a VERY sophisticated one), why these companies still are hostages of Sony sensor-wise?

(albeit looks like that Nikon started to use Towerjazz sensors)

If it had full-sensor over-sampled 4k30, you'd basically have a Z6 with dual SD slots, a slightly smaller buffer and shooting rate, and no top screen. It wouldn't just move a lot of units, it'd completely cannibalize the Z6 and Z6S.

Once the early adopter tax wears off, the Z5 will most likely be competing against the EOS RP - and it should come out way in front in that comparison, seeing how it has IBIS and (unless Nikon have really been going to town on the cripple hammer) a flat profile, peaking, and zebras.

Z6, yeah, probably. If Nikon enable 4k60 in the Z6s, probably not.

The case is that I don't think that Z6 and Z7 sells very well - z5, even canibalizing the Z6, could finally bring more people to Z mount.

But for stills, yeah, the z5 is VERY compelling.

Cripple hammer, Nikon version: 1,7x crop in the Nikon Z5's 4k. This is getting ridiculous.

If they just had 4k30 full sensor would move a lot of units.
