Anyone else find the rubber port covers annoying esp when you have a cage? - they just pull off if you pull quite hard but smoothly and maybe add a smear of washing up liquid to ease them out and back in again if you want to put them back.

The Smallrig isn't so 'weaponised' looking either. I'd fear if you got the Tilta system out on the street you would soon be surrounded by an armed response unit!

Resolve Studio NR is pretty good as well and I reckon you can squeeze another stop of usable DR out of the GH5 with good NR in post....

GH5 NR is pretty good and it's still active even when you set it to -5. That being said why not shoot some low light scenes with different levels of NR and see which you like best?

I've got the viltrox m43 to eos.I have an MB EOS to Sony and although I can't compare them directly they are both about the same in terms of performance I'd say and I'm not tempted to upgrade to an MB. Even if they sort out AF on these adapters I don't see the point as the AF action is only good enough for obtaining focus prior to shooting as it's hunting behaviour is no use when you are shooting.

Cheap ebay NP-L battery sled with LP-E6 dummy has an additional power socket so you can power a monitor with it as well ( as long as you use the larger capacity NP-L's). Don't as yet have an easy way of mounting it and the monitor until I get a cage but it looks like a potential and cheap solution.

Non of the review said they had used it with 4k 10bit 60p on the GH5 though. I've just bought the Atomos cable after noticing drop-outs on an standard HDMI cable.

Who is doing 8bit RAW? - that's a crazy idea......

That's because it is cheap for a camera with such an amazing feature set - very cheap.

That's not the bit depth but the Chroma subsampling in Y'CbCr codecs. Even in 10bit the colour information is very compromised compared to the Luma information.

Render cache as well? - mine goes up to 80-90% when rendering this

Don't agree - if the filter density is lower it's intensity is also lower and thus it's ability to measure actual colour as it's determining the hue values by the differences in signal between the R G B The problem manufacturers face is that higher density CFA's reduce exposure and thus low light ability of the sensor so they trade these off against each other. They in effect give you just enough colour information to keep the average user happy.....

The strength of the RGB CFA's over the photosites will determine how much colour info can be recorded vs how much needs to be interpolated.

Looks good if you have contrasty ( sunny day) lighting but can't handle anything on an overcast day. Main problem is the shadows which tend to go brown and muddy. ACR seems to retain clean colour in the shadows. This is using Sony cameras. I suspect PhaseOne didn't spend a lot of time profiling these cameras for some reason? The only advantage I see in C1 is the sophisticated CA correction. For me ACR just gives a more consistent result through a range of different lighting situations.

That's not my experience at all.

So which is the most accurate? By manual WB are you using a grey card/exp disk or just setting both cameras to the same Kelvin and Green/magenta tint values?

How does the battery door close with a wire coming out of the dummy battery?

My issue with Sony as a RAW stills shooter is the RAW dev apps. C1 just doesn't do a very good job at all with their colour profile unless you have perfect lighting . ACR is IME a lot better and forgiving of less than ideal lighting and they do seem to keep tweaking and updating their profiles. For all the RAW dev apps which have near endless controls for tweaking the image any way you want they lack the scopes that NLE's have to actually help you make those adjustments. It's no good saying either that a good 'colourist' should be able to use their eyes - our eyes are continually deceived and fooled by various colour 'tricks' so good scopes are essential for good grading IME.

If the gain is significant and the cost is similar - er let me think about that.....

You also need to add to a GH5/GH5s many of those things and additionally have you seen the cost of V90 SDXC cards you need for the 400mbps codec? Nothing wrong with the battery door if you remove it as it serves no purpose other than to slow down battery changes.

I don't find the battery life a problem (it's more like 30mins BTW) and if you want RAW, ProRes, 4k60p and dual ISO without any other unnecessary features then I think BM did an excellent job esp on the UI and priced it at an amazing level. No camera is perfect but not having a perfect camera is not a reason you can't shoot excellent footage - It seems a universal reason to moan on forums though....

Is it cooling the Sensor, CPU, screen?. If the screen has a heatsink attached to the back of it then an articulating screen is not going to be an easy option.

Until someone does a teardown we won't know what the cooling system is doing.

Resolve is hardly a bug free experience but at least they are continually patching it.

There is obviously a different WB between these 2 pictures and lens flare on the Canon shot giving a nice warm bloom to the image (what are the picture profile settings). BTW - I prefer the Sony as the colour looks more realistic. I'd always take accurate colour over 'nice' colour any day as it's easier to make accurate colour nice with a simple grade but much more difficult to make 'nice' colour accurate.
