    It does 60p, you just need the 7Q recorder. The 444 model does 60p to the black magic video assist tho.

    For me, you buy what you need when you need it.  
    For instance, I might buy something like this if I had a particular client on deck that would be put at ease seeing me run around with a "real" camera.  (That's still a thing in the circles I'm in)
    Obviously, you need to know if you're served by playing this sort of game.  I've rented camera gear just to impress clients, not for any particular production need. 
    If I was in that situation again, heck, might as well buy a package like this for the same cost.  Also, wouldn't be the last time I'd buy gear only to sell it again quickly.  Which is kind of like renting, just with more flexibility.
    Once, a few years back for a client, I borrowed a bunch of unnecessary cinema rigging from a friend/colleague and buried my LUMIX camera under it. Looked cool, but was incredibly gratuitious.  All that nonsense just to do a talking head interview.  Whatever, the client enjoyed the spectacle.  Afterwards I bought my buddy a nice 18 year single malt scotch for that one, which we shared.  Win-win-win.

    If you like lugging around very old heavy cameras, yes.

    This dude shot a feature length doc with the bmpcc and the bmmcc. I think it had a festival release in 2018, but now available online. The colors out of the original bmpcc and micro have a point like quality and texture. Really beautiful.

    To be fair to Canon... (and I am the first to call them out over hype)
    This time they do genuinely deserve some credit. First the 1D X III and now this...
    The first ever full frame mirrorless 8K camera.
    And a big shift in policy to maximise video on their stills cameras, rather than protecting Cinema EOS lineup.
    This part is not hype.
    Internal RAW and 10bit on the 1DX 3 is real.
    EOS R5 will surely get a high video spec as well.
    There is always the usual hype from the usual suspects when it comes to any manufacturer. At the moment it's worse with Sony people.

    Those R5 specs still sound too good to be true. If they do come true it will be enough for me to invest into R5 and RF as a whole. If the 4K capture is clean and DPAF works and I get 120p with AF...wow.
    Only problem is I won't need another camera for a long time....

    4K120p Full Frame 10 bits 422 with C-LOG and DPAF and IBIS, all in a Canon ergonomical package? 
     
    For the past 3 years I have asked this repeatedly here on EOSHD, people laughing at me like it couldn’t happen as late as 2019. In fact, I asked those exact specs, but with 60p. Canon comes and does it with 120p. 
    There always was an issue. We had no IBIS in Fuji, mini sensor on Panasonic, or bad ergonomics, or bad autofocus (S1). 
    Now it comes in the most perfect possible way. Absolutely insane. Its crushing the competition so much that I don’t see Why anyone on earth wanting a mirror less for video and has the money for it would choose anything else
    Thanks Canon. It was about time.
    Now let’s get rid of those Sonys.

    You'll lose any keyframes / opacity / audio work etc. - but the base edit should still translate fairly well.

    Really awesome! I´m still choosing my bmpcc and bmmcc over the gh5s, or whatever new camera I have at the moment, when I know than I can deal with their weaknesses and get those beautiful digital images.

    The trailer looked awesome.
    I'd never be able to tell that it was recorded with consumer cameras.
    I don't know about you but to me this goes to show that having an experienced colorist on board hugely elevates the production value.
    Surely, a well-seasoned DP that knows how to properly expose the camera helps tremendously, too.
    Great piece.

    Just decided to sell most of my camera gear. 
    Figured better do it now in case the economy goes tits up in a few months. Also, it just felt like my current equipment was overkill for my projects.
    Anyone else getting a tinge of ‘anti-g.a.s. With everything that’s going on?
    My last 4 gigs were basically shot 30fps 4K with a single prime, and when looking at my lens/camera shelf it seemed like it was time for my unused stuff to get back into the world.
    Plus, the sales will help me pay some credit card bills. 
    Full disclosure: while the GH5 and G85 made an exit, a refurbished Em10iii popped up on eBay for less than $300. So, while it’s certainly downgrading, gear acquisition is still going on...
