PannySVHS

I don't watch these s/cam promoters. I am interested in our footage and discoveries, like we used to share much more in pre 10bit full frame times. I want to see a Tokina 24-40 in action, mounted on a camera of your choice. I still got mine and what a character lens it is, very gloomy at 2.8, mechanically a joy to use. I'd mount mine on my S1H for some 10bit HD 120p or the Tokina Bokina on a tripod in 120p pixel to pixel mode. Old song, as old as the ones about shill cam channels. Back to topic. Does DRE work in S35 and pixel to pixel 4k? That could provide an acceptable readout speed for DRE use.

Awesome post! Spot on! Fundamental overview regarding Panny cameras. @Andrew Reid Marketing and communication with the GH4 and GH5 was exellent. Matt Frazer was allowed to do the perfectly right thing. It was exiting to follow the news and to watch the footage. This forum was overflowing with high quality posts and discussions. The launch of the GH5s was already lacking. Their box cameras not sporting NDs is another underwhelming marketing decision. So close yet so far. Their product palette is chaotic. No 10bit GX9 successor, akward releases like a G90, G100 or before that GF5, 7, 8. This was not helping sales nor Pannys reputation to say the least. Is there any native L mount 28mm 2.8 pancake lens out there for full frame sensor coverage? 35, 50, 70, no? Bummer. I think there are some for apsc coverage. Another missed out opportunity, especially in combination with the S9. I know i would have bought a S9 with mechanical shutter and evf and a 28 and 50mm pancake. I dislike taking photos without a mechanical shutter. M39 route for small affordable lenses with a short mount? I guess so. Fiddling around, being an adapter juggler can be fun.:) S1RII is a nice camera and release with S5III being a better name. It's accompanied by lacklustre marketing and communication. The S1RIII looks good by itself. Pannys surrounding enviroment does not at the moment.

It's a sweet successor of the S5II, this S5III sports a great mixture of new features such as 6K60p in full frame with great 60p, being very close in quality to 30p, 45Mpix stills, S1H screen mechanism, eventually a very satisfying shutter sound and feel. And 8K video for the closeup of the bride. 😊 @ND64 They like the SRII for these features: Readout in full frame 6K60p is 15.6ms. Vertical pixelbinning in 60p is providing great quality, which is very close to 30p. They also like the 8K. Battery life is above average for hires 45Mpix cameras, dynamic range is impressive. Best in class Ibis and lowlight capabilities. Great ergo, handling and AF in video. Despite being such a nice package, people manage to film shilly footage with it. Macky is one of the very few who put effort into showing off the capabilities of a camera. He loves the colour btw. Further tests will show, if there is mushyness at higher isos like from the A7SIII. It looks like 4K60 is much better on the SRII vs the Sony, despite having ca four times more pixels, 45Mpix vs 12Mpix. If colour and codecs are og S1 and S1H level, I'd call it a contender. If overheating is a non issue in practical use, I'd call it a winner.

@Andrew ReidI never had the chance to even look at a A7RV. I don't know for sure if I'm curious enough to check one out at Calumet, but I think I might.:) I find a lot of Sony bodies of the last ten years unattractive to look at. I liked the og A7 and the A6000 when a friend of mine let me play around with them. I love the screen on my S1H but very much disliked the gnarly hard edged tilt mechanism on my S1. I still enjoy the tactility and ease of use on my Gx85. I also like the screen on my LX10 though over the head viewing is not supported. Of course I had the usual swivel variantes at my hand on various Panny cameras. S1H mechanism is my favourite of all of them, combining tilt and swivel flavours and being pleasant and solid in use. I guess I could enjoy the S1RII body due to the screen solution which I got to appreciate from my S1H. If Evf quality is equal to S1/S1H level, the SRII body looks like it might fit the bill. Though the design accounts to slightly above average battery life for a camera of 40+Mpix and 8K video. I think a beefier battery should have been one of the priorities in body design for a top of the line Panasonic camera. I prefer the sturdiness of a GH4/5 and S1/S1H but I also find a G70 perfectly fine. So a S5II SRII body might be ok for me, maybe even more than that.

It has the awesome screen mechanism of the S1H and GH7. I find the body design ok. S1H is a beauty to hold and to look at on the other hand. Makes it hard for me to sell it.:) Top panel is beautiful as well. I never held a S5II in my hands, so all I can referr to is the way it looks.

It will not overheat, have better dynamic range and latitude than the Z8 and have the usuability, ergonomics, sturdiness, battery life and beauty of the original S1H, if it's a true successor and sofore deserving the name of S1HII.

They expose a puppet head right before clipping, then underexpose by abc stops and bring it back in post. @eatstoomuchjam Compared to the R5 which it shares a readout of about 15ms with for 6K/4K60p, it performs better regarding latitude. It is also better than a Z8 at 8K, which was slightly better than a S1H at 6K which was slightly better than a R5 in Canon 8K Raw. S1RII bests all Dslms in their latitude test in regular mode. Extended dr mode performed the same. S1RII is looking very nice so far, plus great AF, exellent lowlight image quality, superb ibis and ok battery life. As an artist's tool I want to test the GH5S some time. I did two cute clips with my S1H in december. I still find the color in natural light to look kinda like ENG, whereas og Bmpcc and BM Micro look magical with little effort in Resolve. I had a lot of fun with my og pocket this summer. No need for me to follow youtube shills without any artistic thrills. We used to share our own work and findings on this forum. Would love more of that.

Slashcam tested 6K 60p with exellent results on a 4K timeline, almost as detailed and with resolution like 24 to 30p. No moire nor aliasing nor any other artefacts. Readout in that mode was tested with a result of 15.6ms.

Slashcam tested the S1RII with 22.8ms in 8K without dynamic boost. Latitude and dynamic range was tested being the same with DRE mode on and off. S1RII in normal mode comes close to the latitude of the impressive C70 and C300MKII DG sensor, making it best of all Dslms in latitude. 15.6ms readout in full frame 4K/6K 60p btw. Idk how professional testers can get it so wrong. Shills without thrills is what i call this kind of youtube reviews.

Slashcam tested the S1RII. Full frame 6K 60p DCI gives exellent resolution downscaled on a 4K timeline with 15.6ms rolling shutter. 24-30p 8K is slightly better but with 22.8ms readout. Battery lasts 1 hour 39min of recording time in 10bit 4K 25p. They tested latitude of the Lumix being best of all Dslms, above a Nikon Z8, being close to the Dual Gain sensor of the C70 and C300 MKII. Best of Dslms means being about 1 stop better than a Z8, which was 1 stop better than a S1H which was slightly better than a Canon R8 in their latitude test. Dynamic Boost didn't show a better result. It stopped after 40min of recording because of heat and it performed increased rolling shutter. The SR1II looks like it has the guts of a great hybrid for 44MPix stills and for full frame 4K and 6K up to 60p and 8K30p with class leading latitude and above average battery life in video. Hopefully they will offer the 15.6ms readout for 4K/6K in 24p to 30p as well, like they did for 50/60p. I'm interested to see actual footage. This camera could be a great bang for the buck.

Like I said, appetite for more.:) @kye 😊 I will check @PPNS I remember your other splendid P4K footage. I still think the fairchild sensor looks better under natural light but your lighting makes the Sony sensor shine. Vimeo has killed off browsing and searching videos now. What an absolute disgrace! So I've had the headaches of searching for cool P4K stuff on youtube. Not so many great finds. Sony Pmw F3 is well represented on the tube though, og pocket and micro too.

I'm not even talking about data storage as such, which you guys are referring to. Though it's another dubious move, that they simply delete all your videos which you have uploaded under a paid account, if you don't renew your paid membership.

Wtf! Not only that you cannot search for videos anymore, they also killed browsing other accounts.You cannot browse through other peoples videos anymore! If you click on someones user account, nothing happens. So nobody can find my videos nor browse through my uploaded videos. What did I just pay 70 EUR for again, on a side note? Total rip off and theft. Oh yeah, they deleted groups and collections too. No love for film, no respect for people. They just disfunctioned an entire community with a blink of an eye, without any warning. That's like a warning about other tech companies into which we put our trust, faith and fate. That means for the internet of things, if someone pulls the plug, no sandwiches for you tonight or any night, buddy.

Looking great! Thank you for sharing! @Cosimo Would you mind showing us some moving images? That would be sweet! How was the handling regarding filming and using the app? How do you like the image compared to other cameras? 2x anamorphic on 16:9, crazy!:)

Highly enjoyed it! Thank you for your cool video and for sharing! @Vietinghoff So did you print your D16 mod yourself or did you buy it from Altcine? I still haven't found a video which shows clearly enough, how the camera and the extension are connected. All I could recognize is a click but how does it stick together? We also have another thread about the Bmmcc and why it still matters. I guess we have two Bmmcc threads then that still matter. And rightfully so imo.😊

Thank you for shimming in! That's exiting! Would you mind posting some footage you shot with it? I would love to see some 3 CCD 720p 444 magic! When and where did you buy your beautiful DVX100 Andromeda? Do you know any cool stories about the former owner or did you buy it first hand? Your insights would be highly appreciated! @Jwspictures

Having the original Kodak CCD in a much better form factor than a BM production camera would be nice though. A small industry camera could provide that, with a form factor like a BM micro, a small cube, perfect to be rigged out. I don't know if Altcinecam have delivered some of their Bmmcc based cameras, nor have i seen tests for ergonomy and handling nor their current price. @Clark Nikolai

There is no search function anymore! Can you believe it. No more searching for Bmmcc videos or 1.5 anamorphic on a Lumix! No more browsing groups neither as they have been deleted too! Oh, if you cancel your plus account they also delete all of your videos which you uploaded under the plus tarrif. These tech companies lure us in and take our money and then they can just kill it off. So upset that I gave them my money again despite the price raise. Vimeo is worthless now for a filmmaking community and filmmakers.

I had wondered why seemingly noone has tried to do that! Digital Bolex sports a KAI-2050 or KAI-4050 sensor from what I read. There used to exist small c-mount cameras with these sensors irrc. Diy digital bolex anyone?:) @BTM_Pix

Thank you for posting! @kye Nice perspectives, also lovely sound! Will need to rewatch it on my TV! I would love to see your beautiful daylight shots too in a montage! Maybe I should also get around to upload some of my summer footage. I think og p2k and m2k are delivering an honest, pure and beautiful lowlight image at their native iso 800, already in Prores 422. It's better than a GH5 in that regard iirc. The fairchild sensor is a thing of beauty, no mushy codec neither. I cannot replicate the magic with my S1H under natural light. I did a little project with it and the image looks like Eng or a Tv crime drama, no matter how I work the footage in Davinci. It could be user error of course. I wonder if the GH5s and the P4K are different in that regard despite also sporting a Sony sensor like the S line cameras from Panny. I've seen great stuff with the Pocket 4K, though only on the web so far. Maybe I"ll borrow one from a friend. Pocket 4K thread is a great read I am recalling btw. Weekend is saved.:)

I watched four episodes of season one. It wasn't mine so I will now buy the Bluray Box from 2014 with tons of extras, documentaries, deleted scenes, the pilot, the prequel and of course season one and two. I don't know if the other box with season 3 is just as gorgeous. The older 2014 box is a fans favorite. The episodes looked absolutely stunning so far in HD. A lot of other more recent Bluray titles look like SD by comparison. Many beautiful comments have been written in honour of the great master the last two days. It is awesome to read such intelligent and warmhearted and interesting comments from fans of his work, coming from all over the world. Indeed a damn fine community!

Talking about lines. I paraphrased it incorrectly, obviously:)

David Lynch, what an artist! Like David Bowie, he leaves so much behind in regards of body and spirit of work. Now their deep beautiful souls are having a fxxing fantastic coffee together and we are listening to their conversation. The two ingenious artists and humanbeings will keep inspiring and touching hearts, minds and souls. If you haven't watched "Elephant Man" or "Straight Story" yet, a must watch. I started Twin Peaks two days ago. What a marvel. I didn't expect the news a day later.

How do you like the color from the S line? I remember you were pretty fond of it. @Andrew Reid I love the image when lit. Under natural light I find it a bit dull and requiring some dedicated grading efforts to exite me.

Merry Christmas to you all! Spending time with family. It's been very sweet. I studied some of my footage from this year. The og pocket smokes the S1H in available daylight for colors and ooc textures. So maybe the Lumix has to go. Still shaking my head how easily the og pocket grades. So no camera purchases planned but instead selling a bunch of things. @Ninpo33Many years ago I read that the Tomioka is sold by total rip offs for total rip off prices and that's not worth a fracture of those. There must be a Revuenon 55mm 1.2 for much less money.
