  1. Sony also announced a press conference for today - and even Sonyalpharumors knows what it is. If they release the A7SIII by surprise today too...
  2. In fact, I'm interested in this camera for stills too - for concert photography, having ISO 6400 and 12800 ISO clean shots is a must (since you generally have to use shutter speeds above 1/360). And 10mp, for web use (or even a magazine cover) is enough.
  3. Edit: good move to make the GH5s. Not so much to make the GH5 - the G9 pretty much covers the "hybrid" role, in my point of view.
  4. Or maybe was just "Sony is selling, let's copy them'. But I think it is a good move.
  5. Yeah, I think that it is a really serious issue, but there are a lot of panic mode posts about it. Example: Intel sourced a tool to run in your computer which detects if it is affected by the Meltdown bug. Downloaded and ran it in my crappy Chinese tablet with Atom processor and Windows 10, which never (and probably never will) receive a firmware update from the shitty manufacturer. Windows 10 was not patched for it yet. And the Intel test said my computer was NOT affected by the bug.
  6. You forgot the "Is it the 8th yet?", clearly a mention about 8 bits on footage.
  7. Casey videos are crap, and "cinematic / DR / blablabla" is only talking - what he (and a lot of vloggers and gimbal people) needs is good AF, and in this Canon is very good. 1080p and "good color science" are very useful too for quick turnaround. For him, I think that it is a very wise choice. And for sure the GH5s will not have DPAF - Panasonic and manufacturers in general are stubborn to change routes. Panasonic stated for years that IBIS was not needed, that OIS was "better solution" - take years to change their minds and 2 GX cameras to start to use a 5-axis IBIS. And a lot of things like that - Olympus menus / interface (come on, you could not have histogram and levelling signs in the SAME screen?), Sony and Fuji with touchscreens (just now started using)... (whishful thinking: Panny usually try newer tech in the GX line - IBIS, tilting EVF, 20mp sensor - and no rumors about a future GX9...maybe will be their first DPAF camera?)
  8. ROFL The camera could be tiny, but nothing is TINY on that picture.
  9. Well, if Fujirumors is right, will not be this time: 4K, 1.17x crop, 30p, 4:2:0 8 bit 200 Mbps https://www.fujirumors.com/fujifilm-x-h1-4k-1-17x-crop-video-specs/
  10. About the sensor: crappy rendering hypothesis was confirmed. I think that it is not a G85 sucessor, this one is in a upper class, aimed at still photographers - and $100 cheaper than the E-M1 MKII, even with the current discounts. I am surprises that 4k60 was included, I thought that only 4k30 will be included. For video, GH5 is clearly better. If Panasonic had jettisoned its "pride" about DFD (as it did about IBIS) and implemented PDAF on sensor, this camera would be a home run for stills (it could sell well as it is, but PDAF would be an icing on the cake).
  11. I thought the same - no way that Panasonic would get a different sensor for only one camera. But that V MODE button - I agree that it is in a very strange position - and the square opening... And yeah, it is a E-M1 II competitor. Even have exactly the same width.
  12. I know that here is a video oriented forum, but it is looking interesting... I thought that was a very bad rendering error in the front image, but looks like that this will be the trick in this camera: a multi-aspect sensor. The opening in the mount is clearly square (hence the hypothesis of a rendering error). But there is a V MODE button on the side of the EVF, and it is not the button to switch EVF behaviour - as in the GH5, this button is assigned by default to a button on the back. V MODE looks like "vertical mode" - you could take a portrait oriented picture keeping the camera in the usual landscape position, with full resolution. But let's wait to see if they will not use the same LX100 "trick" to make the sensor "multi-aspect": cropping. It is hard to imagine Panasonic getting a custom sensor for only one model, but...
  13. Already found one, freeware - link if someone need it in the future. http://avidemux.sourceforge.net/
  14. Hi, guys. Do you know any software (free is possible) that allows you to trim Panasonic's (GX85, in the case) MP4 4k files without recoding? I have a lot of footage with begin / end without usable material (the shutter button of the GX85 sometimes did not stop the recording), and I wish to trim the excesses before moving it to my permanent storage. Thanks.
  15. Arriving in London on Monday. Better be far away from that store...
  16. Very strange back without the D-pad...don know if lose programmable buttons is a good choice.
  17. Yeah, the bigger wheel is a follow focus. Only for electronic lenses, I suppose - and probably restricted to some manufacturers (I know that Canon have this possibility - Aputure UFC-1s comes to mind).
  18. Already teased in their Facebook page. Announcement tomorrow. https://www.facebook.com/ZhiyunGlobal/
  19. Appeared from nowhere. What are that dials? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1359107-REG/zhiyun_tech_crane_2_3_axis_handheld_stabilizer.html
  20. By the descriptions on "case studies" link, something related with leg deployment.
  21. Indeed - f/1.8 or 2 zooms would be very useful for me (most for stills than for video).
  22. Will be in London only in September, probably no chance - craved for this lens in the past, not so much now, but... Did not know CEX, another good London stores recommendation, beside the more known ones?
