An extensive review of the EVA1 by Newsshooter...
http://www.newsshooter.com/2017/11/01/panasonic-au-eva1-hands-on-review/
As color rendition is a top priority for me, I was happy to read Matt's assessment: "In my personal view (feel free to disagree with me in the comments!) the EVA1 has the most accurate colour rendition of any of the sub $10K cameras that are out there. The colours are very reminiscent of the Varicam LT and you would struggle to tell the two apart."
Camera's not without its flaws but I expect I'll be pretty happy with it. Here's a short doc Matt shot with it.
 
 

DCPs are *intraframe Jpeg 2000, typically around 150GB

Great comparison video by ProAV here...
Carl also made some of his clips available for download.

I ran them thru ACES (Panasonic V35 -> Rec.709) in DaVinci and only made lift/gamma/gain adjustments. No color adjustments. First thing you'll notice is the scooter in the background appeared orange in Carl's contrast/saturation correction from V-Log. Here it is back to a more accurate red.
Attaching a TIF of the ACES version here as well.

my pleasure.
this was also posted today. ExtraShot had to cover up their EVA1 footage when they originally released this review, but today got a green light to release it properly. this is not final firmware however.
 

You can shoot 4k 50p in cine-d with a unified LUT to match vlog at 25p 10bit. For the price though one could go external recorder for those shots that required 4k 50p 10bit vlog. 

Not with those, but I've been looking at the C200 closely and after watching tons of reviews with sample footage on it, I think what we've seen from the EVA1 is that the noise is marginally less pronounced, tighter, finer and generally more attractive. I also don't see any of the cyan/magenta macroblocking that turned me off from the GH4 and GH5. the C200 delivers a beautiful image but I've seen enough of the thicker "blobby" (it's a word now) noise in its shadows for me to feel pretty confident that the EVA1 is (while still having its own noise issues) the better option for me in that regard. We'll see how I feel when I actually receive mine and put it to the test.

Downloaded some of the footage and played around with it in Resolve, NR handles noise surprisingly well at 8000, more than usable! Shame he used a T4 lens, getting the rest underexposed... Impressive imo but still very hard to judge without proper exposure on base iso

Cheers to @Zak Forsman for uploading the parts on YT:
 

The 1.33x SLR Magic Anamorphots don't look great under an f/4. the 50 performs slightly better than the 40. and their 2x is no good under a f/5.6. I've owned them all, briefly. If you want to shoot at f/2.8 or better, you need to go the route of a Kowa or Cinelux ES. I have shot as low as an f/1.4 with each of those and they still look great, meaning, no loss in sharpness due to the anamorphic. the only deficiencies would be attributed to having the taking lens wide open.

4.6K. is this the same sensor in the Ursa Mini Pro then?

UPDATE: look at me i wrote the first episode!! its a rough draft but if u wanna read it pm me, its only 4 1/2 pages! (@Zak Forsman ?)

I think that's a great target. the lower the barrier to watching, the better. when it comes to advice like this, I almost always say the same thing: look at your own viewing habits. and i know zak forsman, when he hits 'play' on youtube, and sees the run time is over 10 minutes, he's likely to stop, thinking he'll watch later, but of course never does.

haha! yeah. i'd say you can drop the "web". the internet as a platform for content is so ubiquitous now that it doesn't need its own category. if it were me, i'd get in the mindset of referring to it as "an original series" or something like that. 

Leica R 35mm Summicron or Contax Zeiss 28-85mm f/3.4-4.

Did reading that reply confuse you and leave you unable to follow the rest of the thread?
?

To me it was. I´ve been a Panny fan for years. And GH4 filmmaking is an indicator what even greater can be done with an EVA.
It is always great to see GH4 footage in comparison with footage from a camera like EVA. The latter one clearly being the superiour camera. The former
one with the better filmmakers at hand still, such as  producers like Zak. The remark about Red- I hundred percent agree with you though on that one.

Looking great. Exellent trailer! When will it be out? Is your film "Down and Dangerous" available for VOD?
Edit: Just checked, it´s on Itunes.
 

Yeah, no problem! This is a 30 second teaser. We're saving the actual trailer for much closer to the release date. This film was shot on a GH4, by the way.
 

I think it's because of all the other shit it will do.

Much more excited for the new 4K HDR AppleTV.
