I have a friend who still shoots GH5 professionally and his clients are happy. Really the GH5 represents insane value these days.

Each time I think to change my two GH5 I check again the old work of Filippo Chiesa with his GH5s and... I save a lot of money 😉
 

Oh, cool! I'm super excited! One of my primary hesitations about the Pyxis was rolling shutter, but CineD tested the 12k sensor at just 5.5ms in 8k and 4k, more than fast enough. My writing partner and I are considering the UC 12k for our next project, but frankly, a Pyxis body fits a small crew better. If it's identical to the Pyxis with that sensor for $5k or less, it may be a winner for us!
(Our other ideas at the moment are: used Red Komodo for ~$2.8k, or C500 Mk II for ~$5.2k, with the obvious benefit of the C500 being NDs + included EVF)

Oh!  Sure enough, lookings like it's using the UC 12K sensor.
UC 12K body is $7k, current Pyxis is $3k so...  probably somewhere between those numbers.
Lack of internal ND is a bummer, but I'm guessing that means it'll have a mirrorless mount available.  If the weight is closer to existing Pyxis (1.5kg) vs UC 12K (4kg), it could be a real winner - especially if it's closer to $4k than to $5k.
 

Seems to be the pyxis 12k. (Doesnt seem to have internal ND, and only braw. No prores) just saw the banner on the NAB windows.

I hope proress gets released on the newer cameras again + internal ND on the full frame cinema 6k sensor.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that you definitely won’t get either in that Blackmagic presentation 😀

The whole situation is kinda blowing my mind! (specially being Canadian)

“We are taking Greenland and making Canada the 51st State” should’ve been enough to have him laughed out of town.

The fact that he wasn’t means anything else he says or does will have a blind eye turned to it.

It's actually worse.
Over 50% on China in sum total of all Trump's tariffs.

If you voted for this and think it's a good idea you need your head examined.

The main camera manufacturing countries just got slapped by Tango-man.
China - 34%
Vietnam - 46%
Taiwan - 32%
Japan - 24%
Thailand - 36%
Hope all the ones who voted for this enjoy their new electronics prices 👍

There is something to be said about how my S1 still comfortably covers all my needs 7 years later...

Flirted with the idea of selling my S1 and go for the S1RII but eventually decided to keep it for life.

Parting with this kind of image quality in such a tank built body for 800€ is a crime 🙂

Maybe they meant their OWN FX3 rather than Sony’s.

My Sony RX1R had developed some coating marks on the screen.
Turns out it just peels off to reveal a pristine glass LCD underneath.
Indeed the upper layer is a factory-installed layer of anti-reflective plastic!
Daft decision from Sony and effects a lot of models... But at least now if it happens to you, you know what to do.

On DPReview you can check all the cameras added to their database

Not including the niche ones, or weird re-releases of Panasonic compacts, I came up with this...
GFX100RF / S1R II / Sigma BF / Powershot V1 / OM-3 / Leica SL3-S / Sony a1 II / Nikon Z50 II / Fuji X-M5 / Leica Q3 43 / Canon Cinema EOS C80 / EOS R1 / R5 II / Sony ZV-E10 II / Z6 III / GH7 / S9 / X-T50 / GFX 100 II / GR III HDF / Leica SL3 / X100 VI / OM1 II
(7000+4500+800+5900+6500+900+800+7000+5000+2000+1000+2000+3500+5000+7500+1300+1600+2000+2500+1000+6000+1600+2000=77,400)
All RRPs in Euros for the notable new cameras released in the past 12 months.
77400/23=3,365.217 
If you take out the crop sensor models / APS-C, we get an average price of 4350.
Who do they think we are?
Oligarchs?

To save you bothering to watch that video (as pretty as the visuals are) here is what it ended up being about.

Large sensor more compact bodies are my jam!

HAVE YOU GUISE SEEN THIS?!?! IT IS A WORK OF ART
idk where the overwhelming amount of negative reviews are coming from -- bloggers, influencers, theater goers -- but what about disney themselves!?? THEY like it!! thats why they spent half a billion dollars making it and advertising it. the 'empty theaters' are clearly propaganda
what i like to see in filmmaking is some low contrast shots that are poorly graded, with bad art direction, costume design, etc. i like a script that would be borderline unreadable on the page, one that has been brought to the big screen with some surprisingly terrible acting, insane casting, and a healthy dose of girlboss wokeness.
and i HATE the old fashioned boomer 'rotoscoping' from 'beautiful footage' that looks 'naturalistic' -- so lame!!! who came up with that!?!??
i dont want any kind of visual unity in sfx, vfx, whatever -- i LOVE uncanny valley stuff. it speaks to my generations post modern malaise in a way that old ppl just cant understand
~ i mean this sucks (below).
i especially hate how friendly and cool the animals seem despite being kinda anthropomorphic in the face and theyre not EVEN REAL!!! the ppl who made this were morons w no tech. if only theyd had more dr
THIS, on the other hand, looks GREAT to me. it needs a few more stops of dr but it is highly naturalistic

i thought these were all real ppl until...... someone told me that IT WAS CGI!! i also though these characters were deformed dwarves (and possible aliens) until i was told that they are 'magical creatures' !!! fooled again by those hollywood geniuses!
most of all, i like that turquoise color of her dress. what a great design! classic
what do you all think of this contemporary masterpiece? im sure it will recover its $500 million within minutes and go on to be a timeless masterpiece that we show to our children, and our childrens children

nice hoodie

Slightly chunkier, better built and with a bit more design flair than the S9.
Yep, I’ll buy it. Probably…
The S9 is my run & gun video unit for 2025. I don’t much care for it for stills however.
The Fuji RF I was hoping might be ‘The One’ and it’s close, but no cigar.
A7Rii & C have great sensors and size, but ‘fail’ in various other regards for me.
Essentially take the best qualities of the above 3 and mash them up and spit it out as the LUMIX S-RF camera.
I wish…

I need this...
It would save Panasonic for me... Full frame, premium rangefinder better than a7C, better than S9, big EVF, Fuji styling and dials, photographic monster that happens to do perfect 6K open gate too with the usual Panasonic features.
It would save them in the photography market and get them back on track in a big way.
Full frame GX9 please!

Very cool but I bet he can’t recreate Ana de Armas in my living room.
It’s his next challenge.

Siblings actually and their names are SonyA7RV and NikonZf 🤪
OK, not quite for sale just yet...
First of all, yes, I think I *need* this camera, but also it cannot be in addition to anything else and I need something else for the longer stuff and that also probably needs to be Fuji.
Second, availability date is too close to my first job of the year and I'd need to trade a few things for it which I can't risk at such a critical time and it would involve MPB and umm, yes, MPB, let's not discuss that any further here!
Third, although I think it looks FAB-U-LOUS and the size & weight are just bonkers, - it's basically the same weight WITH it's built in lens as my 24mp Zf WITHOUT a lens. Or grip. It's smaller and lighter than most of the more pro X cameras which is also a bit nuts considering that 102mp sensor.
Fourth, that lens. Aesthetically looks great, but still f4 for light gathering if f3.2 for DOF wide open which...not 100% convinced at this time, especially when I can put the f2 Sigmas on a pair of A7RV's and arguably have a better set up and system with far greater focal range, greater DOF and probably better AF, but...
It looks stunning though and I am 👏 Fuji.

I now have a child for sale.

They could make the lens faster without making the body bigger. I'd like to have a soft corner f/2.8 that jumps in sharpness at f/4, than having no f/2.8 at all.
