@Mattias Burling Looking at the GX9 body alone, it seems more like a replacement for the GX80 but i hope you're right! Yeah, enabling IBIS only for photos in the GX8 was a weird call.

Hoping for a mic jack and no 4k crop but other than the "new" 20 mpix sensor not much seems to have changed since the GX80. $999 seems a bit to much but time will tell.

Why am i all of a sudden searching ebay for voigtländer lenses, hmm.. Looking really good @kidzrevil !

Did a review of my favorite lens. My first ever review so take a look and give some feedback on what i can do better next time

It is awesome. It's still very sharp wide open so taking the edge off with a filter looks even better.

Don't know how many Swedes are on this forum except for me and Mattias so the voice over won't mean much. Hopefully the images tell their own story. Shot on Panasonic GH5 and Olympus 25/1.2 with a Tiffen Black Pro Mist 1/4. Graded with Filmconvert.

@kidzrevil Thanks! Even though i liked the Pro Mist on my Olympus 25 i think the Sigma and Pro Mist made a better match. It's funny how one looks for extreme sharpness in some lenses and it others not at all, i'm thrilled over that the Sigma and Speedbooster doesn't deliver 100% in that aspect!

Got myself some new glass for Christmas. I do prefer native lenses but the Sigma Speedbooster combo works really well! Screengrabs from GH5 + Speedbooxter XL + Sigma 35/1.4 + Black Pro Mist 1/4. Edit. Oh yeah, thanks to @jase and @kidzrevil for introducing me to Black Pro Mist, and other, filters.

Even though i'm incredibly happy with my GH5 I'm hoping for a great year for Nikon, Fuji and Olympus. Unlike Sony, Canon and Panasonic they don't have a more expensive cinema-line to protect. Imagine a Nikon FF mirrorless with 4k60 RAW recording and IBIS, that would stir some pots for sure.

For $1300 you can get both. Used Panasonic G80/G85 + 12-60 - $700-800 Used Olympus 9-18 - $300 Used Panasonic 25/1.7 - $70-90 Memory card, third party extra battery, Röde videomicro, cheap video tripod and slider - $200 That's the kit i would go for. Realtors love them slider shots.

Exactly how i feel. 95% of what i do is run and gun hand held so going back to warp stabilizer in Premiere, like the good ol G7 days, ain't happening. Lucky for us there's still the amazing GH5 and G9. For its intended use, I'm sure the GH5s will be amazing.

I knew it!

@IronFilm @Orangenz The announcement starts 10 am in Las Vegas, that's 11 hours away. Until then, keep calm and wish that they didn't take away the IBIS

In 22 hours and 32 minutes, Panasonic will spill the beans

And the approach to the whole "being a filmmaker" has changed since the GH2, not for all but for a lot of people. It feels like the majority of people who bought the GH2 with video in mind spent more time learning about the image and the tools to grade it than the majority of GH5 buyers do today. As a result Youtube is filled with GH5 stuff that looks meh. Lets say you're 14 year old. You want to become a star like them other big Youtubers. But your concentration span is about as long as it takes for a Tesla to reach 60mph. What would you rather watch? "Learn the basics of cinematography - 10 parts, 1 hour each" or "INSTANT FILM LOOK IN 1 MINUTE, AMAZING RESULTS, EASY PEASY, JUST BUY THESE LUTS" Nothing wrong in using LUTs, or auto features of a camera. But things have changed, just saying.

Buy a GH5/80D/A7R, buy a couple of luts and you're a cinematographer. It's the dream being sold right now, and business is booming! Has there ever been so many selling their own LUTs and presets than now, with the promise of instant cinematic success? The idea that the latest gear and post production shortcuts being the most important tools for creation have never been so strong. Don't know how i feel about it but that's where we are. Many are perfectly satisfied with buying the latest gear, auto exposure, auto white balance, auto focus, add m31 lut, export and upload. Because you know, that's how the big Youtubers do it. Im guilty myself of getting the latest gear and shooting IBIS and slow motion demonstrations, but that's because i have GAS and can't control myself. Also, I have a life long obsession of finding the true meaning of "organic" and applying it to my own stuff.

Is this how it supposed to feel when a company listens and care about their customers? I remember Samsung was pretty good at firmware updates when i had my NX1 but adding 4k to a two year old non 4k camera is a pretty epic move by Fuji!

If the spec list at 43rumors turns out to be correct the base ISO will be 160. If one, in theory of course, could lower the base ISO of the GH5 from 200 to 160, how would it affect noise?

Why every lens doesn’t follow Olympus Pro line is this regard is a mystery. A very intuitive way to switch from AF to MF in a millisecond.

Get the GX80/85, really good bang for buck! Bought my 2nd used GX80 for $274,61 (Converted from SEK). There's one for sale right now, in Sweden, for $417 which includes 12-32 + 35-100 + a wooden grip.

I got the 8Sinn with basic top handle, been working great for my run and gun needs.

I've had my GH5 for about 3 months now and I'm loving the files i get from it, both standard profile and V-LOG L. When it's not working all rigged up (see picture at the bottom) it always stays in my messenger bag with just one lens, the Oly 25/1.2 which has become my all time favorite lens. Anyhooow, here's some random (as usual) shorts from every day life. All rigged up. This setup has proven itself to be a very convenient run&gun solution!

Posted this in another thread: "The only thing you have to turn on is the "High Quality Playback" setting. Once that is on you can select different playback resolutions like 1/8 and it will reduce the quality and it won't zoom in." Found this in a Facebook group but haven't tried it yet.

Thank you. I may have shot it a bit warm due to very strong summer feelings that evening, but most is done in post
