The best sub $1K hybrid camera for filming is:

a) if you can live without IBIS, the Fujifilm X-T3 secondhand
b) if you love IBIS, the Panasonic G9 (it's been on sale for sub $1K brand new) or a secondhand Panasonic GH5

New special stuff:

I don't think many white men feel the so called privilege.
Which is why we end up with protest votes at election time.
The whole political correct thing doesn't connect with ordinary people.
Politics is obsessed with skin colour, not the gaffer on a film set who just happens to be born in a country where white people are a majority.
Why should he feel ashamed just for being part of an industry?
I don't think anybody who works in the film industry should be shamed into believing they are part of an institutionally racist conspiracy.
Some of the most incredible countries in the world are monocultural. Japan is about as close to a monocultural society as it gets and where is no shame in it. In fact Japan is arguably all the more unique and special for it. Are we suggesting Japan should now be reduced to 40% to 50% native Japanese people, in order to represent a greater number of skin colours and cultures? No.
Discrimination against majorities is as wrong as discrimination against minorities.
This constant shaming of talented hard working creative people for being white males has gotta stop.

The fact that this single screen application with two buttons has ended up with enough functionality for a fifteen page manual is testament to how something that started out as a record start/stop controller ended up getting waaaayyy out of hand  

 

I’m buying that EOS R5! Oh, someone pinched me...I’m back in the reality.
Im just going to keep my GH5S and hope for a late 2020 announcement of a GH6, perhaps the last MFT camera from Panasonic. Should be good for the next 3 years 🙃

Mine is shipping! Will hopefully be able to give you guys impressions this week.

Gotta be controversial here and say some of the scenes don't blend very well. One looks like a million bucks big screen type of stuff, the other more of a small YouTube webseries video vibe. Though more than anything, I think post-production has made it stand out and make it still stick together. Fine grading. Let's not forget about sound design, that was bloody brilliant. Everyone can go out and get a GH5. It's those who master the things beyond the camera where the difference is really being made and where there's so much potential to still grow for me personally.

@runderkimpling

 

Maybe she is using one of those fiendish pocket size remote controls for it that give her full control of all the camera's functions?
I understand that they begin shipping next Friday.

Whos waiting for GH6? God i miss small ergo and weight compared to ff.

I've said it time and time again. Lens and lighting make shit look Hollywood, camera choice is basically just the film stock. 

@samuel.cabral You mean https://www.vid-atlantic.com/anamorphic ?

Seems like the surveys vary depending on who you ask.
One British newspaper is saying they all want to be evil YouTubers (Daily Mail and The Sun)
And another is saying they all still want to be doctors, and teachers, same as 20 years ago (The Times)
Here is another one I found which contradicts itself in the space of one page, which is quite impressive.

So they all watch YouTube and end up wanting to be vets?
Damn cat videos everywhere.
 

I used my P4K and OG Pocket together over the weekend. I used the Super Scale feature in Resolve to bring the OG's footage up to 4K. It's not quite as detailed, but can easily intercut with true 4K stuff in the eyes of the client. Very happy with the results.

I sold my BMPCC4K. I kept my 2 OG BMPCCs.

Here is a new skit I have made:
 

Apparently the versioning officer from Valve now works at Sony.

Are you that adamant on wireless monitoring?
I'm quite into cars so I follow some automotive journalists if you will in the form of these 'cartubers'. Tim 'Shmee150' Burton for example mounts Sony FDR-X3000 action cams (with BOSS) in- and outside the car. So... that's the sorta thing I would do.
The smaller the camera and the wider field of view the lens has got, the easier the rigging of course. So... Sony FDR-X3000... GoPro, Blackmagic Pocket or Micro or any other MFT camera perhaps (broadcast shows like Top Gear and The Grand Tour use Panasonic GH-range cameras most of the times). Set up your cameras, have a look at how they're pointing, hit record, fetch the recordings after the drive and put it all together. Have a trial run beforehand to make sure every occupant is clearly visible and audible.

@Video Hummus The Laowa Argus lenses will be primes.
 
@Stab There are a few longer S35 zoom lenses:
Sigma High-Speed 50-100mm T2 Angenieux EZ-2 15-40mm T2 Angenieux EZ-1 30-90mm T2 Fujinon Premier 14.5-45mm T2 Fujinon Premier 18-85mm T2  
Better off using a focal reducer with a full frame f/2.8 zoom lens.
You get almost equivalent depth of field, longer zoom ranges, many options and much lower costs.

You can also use a 360 VR cam...
Full thing: here btw (campaign is long over, but info can be found here). That's like the only VR 360 application I actually thought was a promising format. I could imagine a 'who dunit?' crime video/game, where you have to pay attention and catch clues of who killed who and schtuff. Otherwise I never found implenations of VR that interesting.

I'll be using my OG Pocket for a big (for me) corporate shoot this weekend. It still consistently can deliver the goods.

Seems to get good reviews

"A must for colour blind photographers!"
Or colour blind cameras for that matter!

haha, I figured. A little bit more regarding the P1:
Seems pretty stable and all. Just the motion/transition in movements seems a bit robotic on/off, rather than organic. But I believe he said he had the same feedback and that they were trying to see to address that with firmware.
Btw. Is it me or does it seem like Sirui's been sending gear to try to relatively small channels? A bunch under 2k subs, this particular dude 67:
