Ouch. If one of these crashes to the ground, at least one people will be dead.

The problem is that the common thinking now is:
- "I need the full frame look - DOF so thin that only the eyelashes are in focus, will move to medium format"
- "I need to shoot ISO 102500"
- "Smaller sensors are garbage"

Ouch. If one of these crashes to the ground, at least one people will be dead.

Japanese translations are complicated. A lot of people are supposing that "video" and "business" means surveillance cameras.

Worth read the full article, I thought that the tone was not so rosy.

Feel free to PM me or start a topic and happy to answer any questions so as not to pollute this thread any further!

Oops!  You're correct!  I linked the wrong dummy battery!
 
Unfortunately, I can't change the link.
 
Here is the dummy battery (and USB boost converter/adapter) for the E-M10 models.
 
Thanks!
 
 

Roger put a very detailed disassembly on LensRentals right now.

But the one in the link is for the E-M5 / E-M1 line, no? The battery is larger than E-m10's.

Dunno if PetaPixel is banner here also, but they have an article for a infrared conversion company in New Jersey that tore down a R6 and found a real time chip controller that is attached to the internal battery (they credited EOSHD there). Not much new info, but an interesting investigation path.

I've found a S5 for around the same price.

Of course it is clickbait. As I said, I suspect that the "future brand" was already chosen.

And I understand the concerns for the general public being fooled. From my part, I just see videos from a lot of people, much of those not exactly trustworthy (but never see Toneh or Polin, they are just annoying), because sometimes in the reviews they show some point that others did not cover (even found one time or another useful info coming from the master of bullshit, Mr. Ken Rockwell).

Buying decision making should NEVER be done with one opinion, and specially without knowing the faults of the desired product - because ALWAYS have more than one problem.

(that's why I never bought anything on pre-order, or even in the first months - wait for the weaknesses and the inevitable price drop after some months) 

For me it is the Komodo response. Canon never bothered with Blackmagic or Zcam. And with lower priced cameras.

If Panasonic somehow figured out the AF issues, in my view the S5 could be a hit. For exactly the same reasons that the A7 III was - not the best in any area, but a very good balance for most users with a good price in the segment.

The huge size of the S1 line was a downside for many people (albeit, with good reason, praised by a lot of other people). This was solved. If ony Pansonic could release less HUGE lenses...

Holy shit, I thought that the scales were wrong, played with the file in Gimp but they are right.

Made a VERY crude size comparison with the GH5 (got a size comparison between the S1 and GH5 in Camerasize, and used the S1 mount as size reference - sorry for the quality) and...looks like that it is even smaller than the GH5.

 

Yep, got the leaked size / weight of the S5, compared to the GH5:

GH5 - 138.5x98.1x87.4 mm (camera body only, excluding protrusion) - weight 724 with battery and sd card), 645g body only
S5 - 132.6 x 97.1 x 81.9mm (excluding protrusions) - weight 714g (with battery and sd card), 630g body only

It resembles VERY MUCH a GH5. Reinforces my opinion that a GH6 might not exist...

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.

Panasonic interview in Imaging Resource: https://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2020/08/20/panasonic-interview-covid-development-full-frame-micro-four-thirds

"Mr. Yamane: Yes, we believe L-mount is a highly optimum mount for video shooting. And so going forward, we'd like to make L-mount a standard of the video shooting industry. Within the alliance, we'd like to discuss how to strengthen our video performance, and make it a kind of a standard for the video shooting world.
DE: You hope L-mount could maybe become like the PL-mount, so very popular.
Mr. Yamane: Yes. Yeah, this is my personal hope, that L-mount could be the standard format for video shooting."

About m43:

"For telephoto or super-telephoto, maybe we should go with the Micro Four Thirds, which makes a more compact package with high-zoom. So we are studying the future development plan, including Micro Four Thirds."
"Mr. Yamane: We introduced the S-series of full-frame cameras, and we target high picture quality with the S-series. However, there is some video footage which only Micro Four Thirds can realize, in terms of optimum depth of field, mobility, zoom ratio and so on. So Micro Four Thirds is also a precious asset for us to cover video shooting needs. The GH-series has been already used by lots of videographers, and it is used for high-end video shooting by one-man operations. So without fail, by using the GH, customers can make very attractive footage using the characteristics of Micro Four Thirds. We are now studying how we are going to evolve GH series going forward, [to make the most of its advantages].
DE: Hai. (Yes)
Mr. Yamane: Thanks to Micro Four Thirds' smaller sensor size, it is good for high-speed response; high frame-rate video"

For me, looks like that video would be all in L-Mount, and m43 would be for niche formats.

(before calling me m43 hater - I ONLY have m43 cameras)
