    Hallo Mick, nice filming. The moody start at the beginning was in the known manner of such mood/people pieces,

    nonetheless solid. Out of that I really liked the cheerful part with the youngsters having a great time at the beach- nice perspective and framing and focal length.

    I really liked the energy of the surfing stuff. Maybe a little story or storyline would be nice to give it some narrative interest.

    Something like preparation, collective cheering afterwards about the great surf moves. The music I found rather of the generic moody style, typical

    modern video soundtrack style. Anyhow, good camera work and exiting surfing footage and filming!

    Thanks Panny for your feedback. Giving a storyline is in my mind for the next clip, but it needs much more time. Here were just frame grabs from our last trip...

    Just to let you know,  we were using the pana 14-140. I reckon this lens is really sufficient for my needs. Next step, gh5 to get better results on the slo-mo :-)

    ok guys, I just want to have your opinions. I am coming back from a long trip in Indonesia where I used the GX85 for filming mainly surfing. I have to recon that I had in trouble a lot a time with the focus. When using the 50p, I had many non usable footages. Like it was impossible to get it properly ! But when using the 4k, everything was ok... Is it my camera ?

    For most of the footages, this happens with nice sunny conditions... Any idea ?

    I got mine from www.digit-photo.com simply because they were the first to have in France. You could buy it anywhere though. In France, I always have a preference for amazon.fr because of a crazy-good return policy if you're not happy. Returned GX7 after using for 2 weeks and taking over 1000 photos, but then the GX80 came out; so, sent it back. Bonne chance!

    Great, i will have a look ! And Where  can i get a battery shaped plug ?

    Yes. You need the Panasonic adapter or a third party one. I bought the 3rd party one- works fine. Basically, you put a battery-shaped plug where the battery goes, but it has a cord coming out so you can plug it in.

    There might be a way to "squeak" out 2 hours if you don't use the IBIS or viewfinder, turn down the screen to a max, and use a manual focus lens. Again, try that before.

    Ok, sounds really good ! Where do you get yours ? As I am in France... like you !

    Sorry, you cannot operate the camera while charging with the USB... stupid, I know. The hack isn't really a hack, just put the device in service mode... search the EOSHD forums or go to Youtube for that hack. If you want continuous for 2 hours, AC is the ONLY option.

    Sorry for my ignorance, but what do you mean by AC power ?

    Possible with a GX85 or "hacked" GX80 and a AC power adapter. However, I've shot photos all day on it. Never had the need for continuous 4k recording like that. Reports say something like 90 minutes of continuous recording (to be confirmed).

    Ok, so the better option is to keep other batteries with me although I would appreciate the USB power to operate while filming... Maybe possible on a firmware !

    You talk about a hacked gx80... how ???

    Hi guys, i ma still hesitating about bying this beauty... I will travel a lot and use it for surfin footages. I know the gh4 would be a better option... Anyway, can you guys tell me how many minutes the camera can film before turning down ? And do you have any idea on how to extend the battery life (i don't find any dummy battery and the usb charge seems to turn off the camera) ?

    thanks a lot ?

    It is an 8.3x zoom (24mm x 8.3 = 200mm).

    25-250mm would be 10x zoom for example.

    25-400mm well that is 16x. If you just want the zoom range and 4K on 1" sensor and not the fancy constant F2.8 aperture or slow-mo then the FZ1000 is seriously worth considering over the RX10 M2, it is also considerably cheaper.... especially in Europe where it is 750 euros vs 1599 for the Sony! No SLOG or built in ND though!

    Ok, well i was just wondering if there was any teleconverter like the one you can find ont gx7 ? It would be great...

    ​I don't think it has any weather sealing, there's nothing about that on the official pages. I kinda doubt any consumer Sony camera has weather sealing. :P http://tobinators.com/blog/index.php/2014/04/everything-else/sony-a7r-in-not-weatherproof-shock/ Found this here.

    Anyhow, I just got mine and it's really a nice All-in-one package, liking it very much thus far. Unfortunately, the otherwise great remote app (best picture quality of all the apps by far) doesn't allow you to use a Picture Profile. Filed a feature request in the beginning of 2015 when I got an a7s, but naturally nothing has happened, yet. Wanted to use the camera for Vlogging as well, but now I can see that the RX100 IV would have been a better choice due to the fully tiltable display. Otherwise, it handles really well, the stabilization goes a long way and I feel that the handling is getting better (I hated the a7s ergonomics, but this thing now I think is quite nice).

    Lightroom doesn't support the new RAW format yet, so I'll have to wait to judge stills quality, but video sure is sweet. Perhaps they're working on uncompressed stills finally and that's why it's not working anymore.

    Here's a little Slomo clip I've just shot (pimped it a bit in Premiere):

     

    ​Oh ok ! Well can you have a look at the numerical zoom ? The panasonic one is really good but what about sony ?

    Ok that sony looks really amazing ! It has all that i am looking for : really good slo-mo and it' a water-sealed bridge (if i am not wrong). 

    I already own a fz1000 but i am strugling with the colours... On the other side it has this magic lens that can go up to 400. So my question is How about the numerical zoom on the rx10 ii ? Does it impact the image ? And can we expect to still have the 120p ? I really need a long range like the fe1000 with the rx10 ii specs... Hmm sounds like a dream !
