wish this would work on my note 3, lame 
i can upgrade my phone anytime, planning on a note 4 or 5, is the Camera2 API the dealbreaker here? ill search it out
summer holiday video was sicc!!! are you the developer nokker??

Not all 5.1.1 ROMs support Camera2 API, which I presume this app uses. Many of the features you mentioned likely require the ROM to have that API implemented. 

I'd be up for a A7000 with GH4/NX1 form factor that just nails it.

Nope, and it probably wont have that.
That app is aimed at camera enthusiasts. For those who want the best possible image quality, grading possibilites etc.
There is no point on shooting at high bitrates for a low bitrate streaming. There are lots of good apps for streaming to youtube though. Video apps with real time HDR video should give you great results.
------------------------------------
 
BTW. Android users that have updated their phones to the latest 5.1.1 firmware can now shoot RAW DNG pictures. Some apps already have burst shot in RAW mode. Im sending some e-mails to see if I can encourage the devs to introduce at least 1080p RAW video or a 30fps burst shot mode for a few seconds. Those phones are very powerfull and the hardware is far more advanced than most camcorders and DSLRs..
 
Im pretty sure its possible, but the problem is that the average smartphone user will never use that (video camera developers are giving up due to the lack of feedback). They are more interested on those nasty camera filters for instagram 

GRADING STRESS TEST IN 4K
 
The objective here was not to get a pretty look, but to push the codec.
 
- The highlights were brought 80% down to search for banding, specially in the blue sky.
- The shadows were pushed up to 40% to seach for macro blocking.
- 5% of vibrance
- Contrast at negative 5% (good to show limitations of 8-bit videos. It shows lack of gradation)
- Unsharp mask at 1.5
Conclusion: It holds up pretty well! For those looking for a filmic look, you will be able to intercut your phone with your main camera easily! 
Special points for the color reproduction. Pretty spot on!
 
 

Xavc-s is essentially the same h264 codec that's used in most other cameras. It's really not even close to the 10 bit prores of the bmpcc
Btw one thing I didn't mention earlier is that the bmpcc's dynamic range is only significantly better in RAW.  ProRes is much more prone to blown highlights. I believe with the right picture profile you might get the same dynamic range on the a6000 as you would with the bmpcc in prores. 
But even so, there is something special about the blackmagic image. So if you have the time to work with it then I say go with it!

this is pretty much useless for my purposes. 
 
Great if you forgot your tripod, but try any deliberate movement and you get some nasty digital jitter. My wife doesn't know cameras and even she went "ew" when she looked at it.
 
Kind of disappointing. Good effort, but limited usage

Thank you for pointing this out as it often gets ignored: if you switch the NX1 to HD res it's almost a global shutter cam.
When Cinema5d compared shutter speeds in the following chart they had the nerve to show the NX in UHD mode only on the far right - indicating it's the clear loser, while the A7R2 is given its HD crop speed, and the Amira winning even though it's only 2k. In HD the NX would be to the left of the chart. There is a lot of bias against this camera out there.

Is it just me or is it absolutely crap?
Time for Samsung to stop ticking off the marketing features boxes and go for a real update with actual problems fixed such as the manual focus issues.

Could you clarify, because I really don't get your point at all.
But if you mean what I think you mean my response is,
No, do absolutely not depend on After Effects. The whole "Fix it in post" strategy is and always been a bad strategy. If you want steady shots, just bring a tripod and be done with it.
Same goes for stabilisation, lens or in camera, it's nice to have. Sometimes very nice. But it's not gonna make your video for you. YOU need to work for it.
Making sloppy exposures, bad audio recordings, etc just to "fix it in post" is gonna bite you every time. 
Fix it in camera.  

That's not terrible

@Mattias Burling what made you want to switch from the lenovo y50? Screen? Glitches? Bad battery life?
http://gizmodo.com/heres-the-box-that-can-turn-your-puny-laptop-into-a-gra-1724958260 Also, here's a prototype of a laptop with tb3 and external graphics. 

Have you read the EULA for facebook or twitter or your iphone or android phone?  Or just every time you use google or amazon.  It's crazy.  And the NSA collecting everything - none of us have privacy. 

I wonder how well you'll be able to play games on a quadro card. But you could use tb3 to set up an external GPU system!

Anyone notice anything worse about the Davinci Resolve PC version over the Mac version?
Because I think I am jumping ship from apple to PC - the Thinkpad p50 seems like a mac pro but $2000 cheaper - and all I really need is resolve to edit my stuff and color.
I'm pretty much done with final cut pro - and therefore done with the price gorging - all the cult-like Apple BS at their stores - and just all of it.
Windows 10 I have been using for 3 weeks or so - super stable.  I love it.  Works very fast and well.  
So goodbye to you Apple, I hope.  You have a really nice OS but it's not worth $2000.  Also this way I can play the Witcher 3 and GTA V on the road!

Thanks very much for all the feedback. It's much appreciated like all constructive criticism. 
With the site loading, it's being looked into. The "contact" heavy interface is based on a current call-to-action one-page high content trend (make sense?), the generation of the scroller. A lot of it is experimentation - and the site will be amended accordingly with data collected from certain behaviours (such as the Pop up contact box and clicks on buttons). 
As most of my clients are musicians/agencies/labels - the site still has to be branded to favour them as that's where the chunk of our content is. The next step is direct contact with creative agencies where we illustrate where we are now (this site) with what we are offering as commercial/corporate video makers (with examples, PR and such). This is to drill up projects in this area internally and adjust our public image appropriately over time. 
A big amount of feedback we have received is the true lack of style with substance for commercial/corporate in my local area - apparently it's very hard to find, and that's our USP. 
Recently we had a sportswear client who came to us because they didn't want a boring, done-it-all-before video. They wanted our locations, visual style and modern-natured thinking while still being corporate (Kukri Sports - Together Stronger). 
Everyone involved understands we are probably too outlandish, energetic and not boring enough for bread and butter "give me all your money" corporate work, and this is a factor we are considering away from the "Video Ink" brand. So much in fact we have employed someone to develop it. We understand the money is good to keep things very secure and successful. Even a subtle taste of our style in this area might work wonders. We will see. 
On the other hand, there are unconfirmed big things in motion which, if they happen, will completely change everything. But at this moment in time, we just get on with it and prioritise our majority client base  

When I opened it I saw only the "Contact - Email or Call us Here" at the bottom right, and a spinning icon.  I clicked on it.  Nothing.  Eventually the site loaded.  I'm in the U.S./East Coast.  Even though your clients may not live here, they may look at your site while visiting the U.S. on other work.  So, you really need NO EXCUSE quick load anywhere.  
The site is stunning and impressive.  I find it a bit too needy.  To many "Contact us here..." buttons.  Even the first one of the bottom right, I'd take it out.  Why?
Corporate/commercial clients do not look for "Unique. Stylish. Cinematic", they look for "Current. Targeted.  Distribution Friendly."  Don't call them, they'll call you
For music videos, the more creativity the better.  They are musicians, not filmmakers, so whatever you can do to keep a viewer interested long enough to listen to the whole song is ALL that matters.  You'd think that would be the same goal for a corporate video, but it isn't.
Established companies must balance keeping their existing customers (brand/perception) focused/stable/reliable while doing just enough new stuff to look fresh.  There will be factions within every corporation that want you to just do what's been done a million times before and which they believe pays the bills (and keep in mind will pay YOUR meaty invoice).  There will be factions that want to try something new, or go in a different directions.  Balancing those competing needs will be the difference between success and failure.  Both factions have to sign-off on using your company.  Right now, your site speaks only to those factions wanting to do cool stuff.  It will turn off the other factions.  
Getting back to musicians.  Most of your clients have little to lose.  Every song they swing for the fences.  If they strike-out, they just try again.  Corporations have people who pay the mortgage, feed their families, every day, based on current clients.  They FEAR failure, of losing their existing business.  You HAVE TO WORK with these people and if they get a whiff that you're going to be a prima donna artist they'll sabotage your getting the work, or working with them again.  In short, all commercial work (though I work in a different field) is about getting along with others.  Naturally, everyone has their "thing" that bugs people, but only one bugbear per person!
SO... I suggest you make a separate site/business, called Vindeo Ink Corporate, or something like that, where you DON' T SCARE THE F'ING SHIT OUT OF THEM
Put up only your commercial videos.  Put up all you experience, put up testimonials, put up language that says you can work in anyone's f'd up company without throwing a hissy fit.  Just like Hollywood, they want something new, bold, daring, but with the exact same story as whatever movie came out last month and made $500 million!
Don't take my word for it.  Talk the customers you want, PEOPLE who would actually hire your services.  They'll be closet filmmakers like you and would love to have drinks after work.  Again, these are people with boring jobs at large advertising/media companies (you actually want to talk to c-level people because they know what gets bought and why.  The higher-ups talk bullshit.).  Let them help you fine-tune your site to get the consensus you need to get projects.  (Warning, you're not going to like these corporate cogs--a long story why, but you need them).
The other way to do this is to make a blockbuster film and become a celebrity filmmaker
Lastly, you know I think the world of your work Oliver.  You've got the creative/talent thing down!

The site likes fast internet connections. I'm in dialogue to speed up the response time on the server. It's Google integration (analytics and fonts) that slow it down. 

looks great! took forever to load tho

Personally I think that it works less than brilliantly as you are stuck with the same shutter speed as you are using for video i.e. 1/50 or 1/60 which is going to end up with blurry images 50% of the time.

Shouldn't be necessary nowadays with enough processing power, electronic shutter and fast SD cards.

I'm thinking they will go 28MP BSI sensor.  If you take 1.5 of 42MP you get 28MP - so Samsung got it right and Sony has already followed so to speak with the A7RII pixel density.  That said the e-mount flange distance is an advantage over the NX mount so I will be getting one of these A7000s as soon as it's available - hopefully before CES, no one but Sony knows when.
