Now imagine a NX2 with this kind of stabilization...

That's why I only mentioned the smallest gimbals out there - I only use small cameras / lenses as possible (that's why I will never go full frame unless there is no option), and the smallest possible gimbal, to attract minimum attention on the streets when travelling.

My last setup travelling pre-Covid was a GX85 with the 12-32 and the OG Crane M. Not a single glance from anyone. My current camera is a bit larger (X-S10) but the G6 Max is much smaller than the OG Crane M (it indeed almost look like a bottom handle), probably will not get attention too.

But you are right, with a monitor and cable, probably will not be so discreet. 

And @webrunner5 have a point too, gimbals have a visual very different from handheld.

GX80 works wonderfully with the @BTM_Pix hack to get Cinelike-D. When I had one, used it with Leeming Lut for Cinelike-D and the colors were amazing.

Yep, they revealed today that all the BMPCC cameras (4K, 6K, 6KG2 and 6K Pro - not the OG BMPCC, of course) already had an internal gyro that is now enabled, and the data could be used to stabilize in post using Resolve.

Pixies, the band that changes my life. Almost did not believe when I first saw them 18 years ago ("indie" bands almost never comes to Brazil at that time), thought that would be once in a lifetime.

Yesterday bought a ticket for me and my wife, to see them for the 5th time, in October, here in São Paulo. Will be my 1st music show in 4+ years...

Filmed them in Amsterdam with a Kodak Zi-8 in 2009. Amazing as usual.

@Marcio Kabke Pinheiro Nada bate a MPB... chamem-lhe brega ou o que quiserem, venha quem for ao Planalto, os cães ladram e a caravana passa... Viva o Brasil!

Moça
Me espere amanhã
Levo meu coração
Pronto pra te entregar
Moça
Moça eu te prometo
Eu me viro do avesso
Só pra te abraçar
Moça Sei que já não és pura
Teu passado é tão forte
Pode até machucar
Moça Dobre as mangas do tempo
Jogue teu sentimento
Todo em minhas mãos
Eu quero me embolar nos teus cabelos
Abraçar teu corpo inteiro
Morrer de amor de amor me perder
Eu quero, eu quero
Eu quero me embolar nos teu cabelos
Abraçar teu corpo inteiro
Morrer de amor, de amor me perder

Yep, one of my gripes moving from m4/3 to Fuji - their lenses are on the bigger side (albeit VERY good optically), except the Nocticrons (have 2).

The newest Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 size should be the standard for modern APS-C lenses size.

My wild guess is that a future firmware update will bring waveforms and anamorphic modes.

The video features of the camera, specially codec-related, really drawn the attention to the video sid of it, but I'm interested (for curiosity and prossible trickled down the line - I'm a midrange body guy) to see more tests of the stills performance. Ok, the supposed "stills centric" camera would be the next X-H2 non-S, with 40mp, but this is the wildflfe / sports model (the 40mp model reportedly will not have a stacked sensor). The dedicated grip with MIMO WiFi and Ethernet reinforces that. The buffer sizes are amazing, the fps rates too, but the AF performance is crucial in this scenarios.

Did not saw a really dedicated anamorphic mode (the open gate was cited as an option for multiple crops), but probably we will see it in a future firmware update. Anamorphic is getting attention, lots of newer lenses, probaly will be implemented, with more video tools too, like a waveform viewer.

About AF and IBIS performance...already a bunch of reviews from smaller reviewers praising it (it becomes norm from ALL manufacturers). I would wait for a production version and more "calm" reviews. For now, albeit they are kind of hated here, I'm more in the camps of Chris & Jordan in their review - AF is better but still not on par with Sony and Canon, and IBIS for video looks the same of the X-T4. But the firmware is not final (almost all reviewers got bugs, even locking the cameras and needing battery removal), better wait the production version.

I think that Fuji need to snatch someone from Sony / OM Digital / Canon that have a video focus approach - I always have the impression that thay use the same "logic" for AF and IBIS for both stills and video, and they are different animals. In stills, AF needs absolute precision and IBIS need a stable fram at all costs. For video, AF precision is desirable, but between a slight unprecise focus point is preferrable than a hunting image to achieve focus perfection - is better a single movement to a point a (very) little out of focus than pulsing. And IBIS must priorize smooth movement that a fast movement to stabilize - better drift than jump. Both AF and IBIS must have different logic for video and stills.

Did not read all the RED patents, but when everyone cites the RED compression, talk about "raw Bayer data".

RED specifically patented raw Bayer-only data, or all kinds of mosaicing formats?

Because if it is specifically about Bayer filters, Fujifilm using X-Trans could implement internal RAW.

I've put it through the superb Deepl.com AI translator and its come up with this:

As a software developer, I'd be afraid if they used agile, probably the camera will be refactored every 3 weeks. 🙂

That explain Leclerc's accident.
"That guy is not using a full frame, really!!!???? ...oh shit" (bang)

Interested in getting one of the FZ's as a concert camera (security in stadiums tend to hate cameras that changes lenses).

It is not the kind of lens that is the central talk here, but holy shit, the Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 is sharp (and the DOF, even in a Fuji APS-C, is very thin).

Photo and center crop.

In fact, I always used AWB until a shot that I've taken on a trip - with a GX85, by the way. It was climbing the stairs in the center atrium of the British Museum in London with a gimbal.


Even more strange, the atrium is completely flooded with sun light from the ceiling, which in theory should have caused no troubles with AWB. Don't know if the camera picked the warmer tones of the surrounding walls, but from the bottom to the top of the stairs the white balance shifted back and forth around 5 times, ruining the shot.

Still forget almost all the times to lock the white balance while filming (I'm an amateur, after all), but this case changed my mind about AWB - now I almost only film my daughter inside home, and with my X-S10 sometime I noticed some AWB shifting too.
