Wooden Camera has a fairly complete line of products ...
This is the high end for the Sony A7 series....

but look at their complete listings.

I was satisfied with my Carryspeed loupe for my 60D. I got one for my GH4 but have yet to install/use it... doesn't seem as necessary with the better screen, peaking, etc.

Look at the new Sony RX100IV or RX10II. $1000 and $1300. Both do 1080p120 at the same quality as normal speeds, and even go higher, up to 960fps, but with image compromises.

I dunno, they don't let just anyone post videos to YouTube, ya know. It's probably legit.

I think the Micro might be a bit of a sleeper hit, at least once cages/rigging/cabling get figured out in the aftermarket, for combining the cam & Video Assist (or other monitor) into solid workable configurations. The omission of WiFi is a mistake though, I guarantee the Micro V2 will have it.

​
Hopefully the cam is so good that this is an appropriate reaction.
I wouldn't mind an AF100-style body, just a bit slimmer. And I hope they make it easy to match to my GH4.

You're both taking Olympus' poor video performance as proof of the entire m4/3 system sucking. Ever tried the GH4? BlackMagic Pocket?

Panasonic FZ1000 or LX100.

I would go for a Tokina 11-16 and the two native zooms (16-50 f2-2.8 and 50-150 f2.8). I don't think Tokina makes anything in NX mount (yet, hopefully), so I would do a Nikon-mount version, as there are plenty of adapters that will give you manual aperture control.

Andrew can you please share the criteria of ranking the list?
Because if we are talking about bang for buck tools for the entry level filmmaker, considering the additional gear needed to operate the cameras, the 1DC comes dead last, 
and the difference between dumping that cash in the camera, and using it for your film... I'd back the guy putting more money into his film.

LX100? 4K, small, good stabilization.

Just because the Shogun can record it doesn't mean the camera outputs it.

It seems so:

I wonder how long, or how many camera generations still do we have to wait until most cameras sold for video have a global shutter or something else to eliminate the rolling shutter issue. One could think a thing like that would be a high priority, but apparently it isn't, or it is very hard to battle. 
Another thing I sometimes wonder is how hard could it be to come up with a S35-sized CCD sensor camera with a reasonable price tag. Like a D35, for example. That would be something, wouldn't it, although it might not have a reasonable price tag.
 
 
Please remember to share your experiences with the other wannabe D16 shooters here when you get to that.

The GH4's crop factor in 4K is almost the same as the Pocket's, FYI.

I haven't watched this, but as for the Panasonic rep seeming uncomfortable on screen (assuming this is the same rep as earlier videos): I much prefer his honest, factual style to the cheeseballs Panasonic hires to be their "Lumix Luminary" shills. He's knowledgeable and seems to actually shoot at least occasionally, and understands that the market these videos are reaching (serious amateurs/indie folks as well as pros) knows its stuff and just wants specific questions answered and problems addressed.

IMO the 4K on the GH4 isnt really about delivering/finishing in 4K. It's about getting really really good 1080p. The 100Mbps bitrate isn't really that large and it seems like any decent computer that's less than two years old or so will be able to handle editing and playback. The price difference between the GH4 and the other cams is indeed pretty large though; it's up to you to evaluate your gear situation and see if that money would be better spent on lenses, support, lighting, etc.

There is no electronic m4/3 speedbooster yet. All of the boosters currently available are "dumb", in that there is nothing electronic going on. However, the Metabones (and possibly now some of the off-brands, not sure) DO have a clickless aperture control ring built in.

This is possible because Nikon lenses use a little lever to communicate aperture position to the body. The Metabones interfaces with this lever and gives control of it via a ring on the adapter.

Your most-compatible option is to get a Nikon-mount lens, the Metabones speedbooster for use on the GH4, and a simple Nikon G-EF adapter ring (many are available with the same type of aperture ring as the Metabones) for use on your friend's Canons. You will have on-lens control of aperture on both systems, but no autofocus on either.

Going with an EF mount lens will give you AF and in-cam control of aperture on the Canons, but no aperture control on the GH4- you would have to remove the lens, put it in a Canon body, turn the body on, change the aperture, hold the DOF Preview button down while turning off the body, remove the lens, and re-mount it to the GH4... every time you need to change aperture.

Can I get a can opener on there?

I would actually expect Sigma to be able to do an active version sooner than MetaBones. The holdup on the MB active SB seems like it's on the m4/3 side, as their EF-E version works fine. Sigma is a member of the m4/3 consortium, I'm assuming that means they have full documentation on the m4/3 electronic protocols. They also already make m4/3 lenses so they have direct experience with building for the system. Not to mention that their engineering and manufacturing capabilities are much larger than MetaBones'.

Everything about this video is totally unnecessary. The internet as a whole is stupider because of it, IMO.

I would say that the 50% improved rolling shutter and super-high stock bitrate for All-I are both strong talents of the camera. Unfortunately neither are available in 4K mode. So they may not be the fan's flashiest talent, or your personal favorite, but they're talents nonetheless. Jello reduction and motion rendition are high priorities for some people, and forgoing resolution in their interest wouldn't be wasting any talents at all for those users.

Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited to use 4K for great 1080p finish- when I can get away with it, motion- and jiggle-wise- but let's remember that the GH3's 1080p modes are already very, very good. Assuming the GH4's are at least a nominal improvement on that, it is still a worthwhile camera outside of 4K mode.
