Somehow all this camera does is make my A74 feel more valuable…

What are your thoughts on Bertrand Mandico? Honestly i find it quite hard to understand the concepts and strories of his films, but the way his movies look and are shot is super faszinating. Also great that he comes from an animation background:

I just borrowed the X4 from a friend and somehow it is so much fun to work with it. Especially the post process when you just tweak some settings and get a super different picture - add some keyframes and the whole thing becomes super dynamic. That being said its strange that you somehow get accustomed to the effect pretty fast. Size and battery life are nice too. For the X5 i am really wondering how it will perform as "normal" camera. 1,26" is bigger than Super 16mm isn't it?

Might also be that they dropped the 4k Cinema price so they can sell them off. A OG Pocket siced 4K o 6K cam would be fun.

Isn't that the R8?

I haven't seen any good skin tones / high key stuff from the XH2s - it has a special and fantastic Fuji look, but somehow that one is also very distinct.

What would Kendy Ty do?

also strange that not one of the youtube testers is combinig it with the 28mm pancake lens...

Here it is, the camera i have wanted 5 years ago! https://www.canon.co.uk/cameras/eos-r50v/ A strange time: so many options: a cheap red komodo for that indie movie, a supersmall canon camera with 10 bit codec - things everyone would have dreamt of 5-8 years ago.

Specwisee this looks like the camera i have been waiting for ( .. apart from the 5.6). The material from the camera in the promotion video looks pretty horrible though, especially in comparison to the beautifully shot and great looking rest of the commercial ( what did they shoot it on?)

One additional point would be that parents don't want their children to use the smartphone on holidays all the time, don't want to be seen using the smartphone on holidays, etc.

Check out this film they shot on Leica SL-2 with Zeiss Supreme Primes: Some of the bts shots can be found here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C1MNI8_s4kL/?igsh=Zmk4dG9kaTZ2Mnp3 Some of you might still know Steffen Hacker of Hackermovies Fame ( a german independent film forum that was pretty popular between 2002 and 2012).

Wow, thank you!

… just bringing this back up because today is the day…

Interesting! Maybe they also want just want to check if they can sell more if they lower the price - or a combination of the two...
