I just tried the NX1 with this lens, and pulling focus in AF with this combination is so much fun. Truly versatile for one-person run-and-gun setups.

Yea, RAM isn't too expensive. As I've said before, a V2 with a 2GB buffer would've given it a 160 frame raw buffer.

Interesting to note that both Canon and Nikon are diversifying into medical businesses. Sign of the times?

I don`t care about electronically controlled lenses...I never used them for video and even when I did I wished I haven`t.
That's true, but that also means it makes such an adapter incredibly niche.

Didn't I answer this question somewhere? No, because there's no demand and how are you going to adapt electronically controlled lenses? Easier to wait for the next GM to have 4K.

I second the recommendation for the Samsung; alignment is a pain, and separation is likely to be too large.

Might be of interest to D750 owners, particularly in light of the new Rode wireless mic.product announced recently.
A simple clip on wireless mic. setup for $250
Isn't this the Bluetooth set that both Canon and Sony already sell? I'm not confident of Bluetooth as a hi-fidelity wireless solution.

Yes, it's true. There's no more multi-aspect sensor since the GH3 so anything other than 4:3 involves a crop.
-
D5300 will not have that option - it lacks the mechanical feeler to do that.

Yup, you got that right! 28mm AIS sounds really good, those were fantastic lenses, especially the CRC ones.

I'm all for equality, and parts of this thread strikes to being very disconcerting. Transparency is good, being "politically correct" isn't all that bad either.
Being creative doesn't mean you lose respect towards others.

So you don't want that Alexa then leeys. Bit snobby is it?
No more than I wanted a 8x10 for landscape work! Which is, awesome to have, but not likely to happen.

It sounds like it barely can do 1kg then? I was thinking of getting something like this for my GH3 and 12-35.

So close yet so far away.
Micro Four Thirds needs to go high end if it is to remain a serious prospect for stills.
I know people who wonder why ANYONE would shoot stills on anything other than full frame.
Well you have lenses to compensate for that, on APS-C - the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 is one. The Fuji 56mm F1.2 and 35mm F1.4 too.
On Micro Four Thirds you have noise problems above 3200 and difficulties getting closer to the full frame look.
This was fine when the prices were low (GH2), or video spectacular (GH4) but when Olympus is serving up 2011 vintage E-M5 image quality in 2015 you do start to wonder whether it is all worth the effort any more.
It's not like we have a lack of alternatives!!
What I think will happen is that the high end mirrorless market will go to the A7, the X-T1, etc.
I am sure the lower end consumer stills market will still love the E-M5 II but Micro Four Thirds need to also compete in that high end mirrorless market as well and it is losing the battle there.
I shoot stills, and m4/3 is fine if you don't take it beyond its performance envelope, which is actually fairly large. I think being a snob on FF for stills is no different being a snob on LF back in the days when Oskar Barnack came up with the Leica I in the 1920s. I remember reading about how people would disparage Barnack's idea in similar terms people harp on companies not using "full-frame" sensors in all their cameras because they "too small" for serious work.

You have to use MF lenses - the CPU contacts on the Tamron means the D5300 will give an error message when you move away from the smallest aperture.
-
Li-po and Li-ion are very similar - they only blow up when they overcharge, which is why regardless they should have safety circuits somewhere in the pack.
The downside with the cheap Chinese packs are usually with battery quality itself. They don't seem to last as long as the good ones. And if you're not careful, they can and will omit a cell or two...

Hey Maxotics, been following your posts on DVX, so thanks for the great summary. How is the GH4 too bulky? Physical size makes it hard to balance?
-
No, probably still not thread worthy. Isn't there a 5 page thread already dedicated to your video?
This isn't your forum; don't like it, don't read it.

What's wrong with the GH3?
-
I only had a quick look, but isn't this basically just a timelapse? Any camera can do this with the right gear, so you can have >4K resolution. 8K will require a 33+ megapixel camera,

Eye-ball estimation, that? So, that turns a 12mm lens into about a ff-equivilant 32mm. A 50 becomes a 135, etc. Bummer. Not to mention it ruins all my easy 2x math calculations when putting lenses onto a M43 camera. 12 to 24 -- I can add that up. Slap a decimal into the mix and I get stupider than I already am.
How to do CX crop calculations the easy way: multiply by 3 and take 10% off. So say you have a 200mm
200 x 3 = 600
10% of 600 is 60, so 600 - 60 = 540.
Easy peasy.

Disagree, Nikon AF is way better at this stage. As you said, us pro still users like it. ;)

Nope, I did a few years back. Sold my Nikon DSLR setup for a GH3 setup.
