So, is it confirmed that there is a new sensor in the GX85, or a tweaked sensor, because from my preliminary tests it seems to play in a different playground than the G7 does. Obviously, it's a whole lot sharper without the OLPF, but the colors seem different. With -5 Con, -5 Sharp, -5 NR and -2,-3 Sat, the results are almost perfect out of camera with still just enough room for some mild grading. I even tested my Canon FL 35mm 3.5 with the poorly reviewed Fotodiox Excel+1 focal reducer, and it's sharp as a tack with gorgeous rendering. If this is any preview of the GH5...

So far so good? I was surprised to learn that Kendy Ty switched to the a6300... Strangely I feel a little let down by it. Oh well, I'm over it now.

Can you get cars back there? Or use car batteries and rig some headlights to them. Or as Tupp suggested, shoot Day for Night... If it was good enough for Jaws...

I thought Andrew Reid confirmed that in this preliminary review? And I think I read that on another site.

Yeah, Olympus is definitely moving in the right direction, and all of this proves the salient point you have made numerous times before... It's amazing what these consumer cameras can do in the right hands.

Yeah, you had every right to return it. And I would argue you had a responsibility to. Most likely Adorama was full aware the price drop was going to occur and they hope people won't go to the trouble to return it or, if it were new, not ask for a price match. The point is that I am pretty sure you probably would have ponied up the extra grand if they were selling new at $5000. The used 1dC would have to be less than 3 grand for me to buy a used one as opposed to a new one for 5000.

Any news on HDMI out? Also, does anyone know if the GX85 can down convert it's 4K to 1080p for HDMI out like the gh4 can? And since you can record internally and externally with SD cards and HDMI out respectively, does the LCD stay on while outputting HDMI?

Olympus ibis is nice. As far as the dof... I assume he's shooting wide open with an ND filter and is getting close to his subject.

Yeah... Just stunningly beautiful. Not much else to say really.

Is the t2i your primary camera now? Am definitely looking forward to seeing what you can do with it.

Yeah that just might do. It's definitely small enough, and according to their website it has about a 10 foot throw at 6000 WB. Not bad... Thanks!!!

So, leaving sharpness at 0 and NR at -5 adds a subtle grain? Interesting... I wonder why it does that? Am looking forward to seeing your Natural results. Before I sold my G7, I was using natural with everything at -4 and also sometimes using a modified Prolost Natural... Basically Contrast at -5, Sharpness 0, NR 0 and Saturation -2 or -3... I'll have to test them with the GX85 one day.

What announcements are you waiting on... Because that 1dc was in capable hands.

Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

Nice. At first I thought you should have ended after the reveal, but the ending was worth it. You have a good perspective. Pretty good acting too. The girl is great, the guy... Ehh. Just kidding, good job!

Good read, thanks. For $360, I would have bought that yesterday. After watching some videos on Vimeo, I was half tempted to buy one for 900 the other week.

I hope so.

I spent a little time to catch up with this thread and have been pretty impressed with the results you guys have been getting with the GX85. It's interesting to see the different settings used and the different looks achieved. It seems like different flavors of Standard and Natural are the favorites. Does anyone have any with and without A3/G3 shots?

I just love how both movies have a random dance party scene.

Yeah right. It's almost as though Mr Breen is a little more thoughtful with his badness.

This one slipped past me as I just heard about it today.

Birdemic!!!

eos-m raw?

This looks great. The lighting, IQ, sound design, and acting are top notch. Good on you!!!

Thanks, I do remember hearing that, I just thought it looked really dark... But that's about right.
