Wrong image

?

(I can't imagine cinema maker that will buy this niche dream and than rigged it instead of UMP4.6.)

Which has a "selfie" flip out screen

Regarding expectations, they were broken with the S1 in the sense that anyone used to the utility of an articulating screen on the GH series would wonder "WTF".

Maybe Panny should have removed the screen entirely to prove cine cred.

I take it no timecode input on this cine camera?

no flip out screen on specific cine model?? 

WTF? Cinema people shoot selfies now? 

Right..THAT'S  the only use.

Yeah but a flip screen sucks ass if you use it for taking Photos.

Why would that be? I'd think a fully articulating screen would be better thann fixed screen spray & pray overhead shots at events etc.

6k for a cine cam without xlrs and timecode might be pushing it.

"The Sony FS5 should be ripped apart, put on a Chinese workbench and nobody leave the room until they figure out how it works!!"

Yeah..they would be the ones to blow past IP issues.

It's quiet intriguing. 

Heh. Good way to put it, actually.

Nice job! Skin tones are easy to get right on the E2 and although there may be some noise due to M43 sensor size, I don't feel like it's an issue or limiting my work at all.
I also consider getting one of the newer models when they come out, but I'm wondering how much that would really add to my production level. The low light is actually surprisingly good on E2, but I guess we always want better  .

Considered a speed booster for that?

Given the demand/supply issues with BMPC4k, seems unlikely an update or pro version would happen so soon.

I am definitely in the camp that the large but non-articulating screen is a hinderance. BM seems to have a bit of a blind spot (pun intended) with screens..tending to favor size over flexibility/sensibility. (Remember their cam with the wind-sail flip out?)That fixed angle might help low angle shots, but not high or side viewing. Grant Petty yapping about vlogging use with that along no continuous AF rubs it in. I thought they had come around on the screen issue after releasing the Ursa Mini pros

Anaconda_,

Maybe simulate it with a minimally recharged battery.

hey!
Do you know if there will be any fix for the red channel going beyond gamut limits and clipping quite easily?
There are many workarounds atm (using CST with saturation mapping, gamut limiter etc) but they only really work when working with RAW footage. The issue seems to be baked into ProRes files.

 

Thanks

Has BMD recognized the issue?

FWIW, P4k is a "dedicated video camera".

Given the tour name, would be weird if it wasn't.

But..you know..it' s Black Magic

That was the case with gH4

"For actual filmmakers it’s not really much of an issue."

At minimum, on overstatement. Bet you'd have a different opinion re that without the other qualities of the cam.

Although...Aren't they marketing the FS7mkii as having better color science? Anyone here liking that?

They should really focus on colour, it's the main thing that stops people using their equipment, at least for me and others i know. Whenever I've had a little Sony on a shoot with a Canon, or an Arri or a Red it's been torture to match it afterwards or just comparing its BTS shots with main shots it doesn't look good. They have poor skin-tone in general and a sort of cool, soul-less look, and it takes a lot of work to make them look nice compared to other cameras.

Yep.

"better"(color) is a tougher sell than "more" (pixels).

"Maybe someone should take the insides and make a proper re-housing with a proper F battery instead of the Canon"

Given the many non-Canon devices using this battery format, there ought to be 3rd party folks making various capacity compatible batts as is common in Sony style. The LPe6 has lots of room to grow in depth and capacity.

Make it so.

(you too Mr. Petty)

Have you used an external monitor/recorder? They have fans and get very hot even when not recording and you are just using the display. I've got a VideoDevices 5" monitor and it gets very hot. 

Umm..articulating screen separates itself in that sense from the recording bits. Probably helpful to managing heat at the recording/processing core.

Red clipping?

I think they have the A7S III ready. I think they had it ready a year ago. The A9 has a sensor very similar to the venice, so give it a firmwareupdate and allow for 4K 60p and 10 bit and that's it. 
Of course Sony will not do that, they want to milk their customers and offer another camera just for video. 
The part of the interview where I laughed the most was, when he said they care for their customers. lol 

"Unless this has been lost in translation, the A7S III is going to be a minimum of 2 years away."

It's not a translation issue.. Think marketing formulated disinformation...

Although, a graph/trajectory of A7SII sales might inform..

"For video they beat every full frame camera past, present and future!"

(a statement more expected at IBC..Amsterdam)

"Why do we need the same video posted 4 times?'

Yep. And "quoting" with the same image(s) over and over just makes the forum a constant scroll. Just a little thought before as to whether that's really necessary for clarity would help.
