@JordanWright Hallo, a few words from you about the Tokina would be cool. I know, a lot has been written about it. But I can never get enough of some beautiful lens reports. I even own one myself but never got around to buy a better adapter for it and get beyond 8 metres of distance.

Would be awesome to read more about the 10bit h265 vs h264 on the S1H!

Thanx, my friend. 25600iso is a bit much for HVR mode in super low light. But it shows very well that noise reduction is not showing its ugly face fortunately. 4k full sensor readout handles lowlight very impressively. Best shot at iso 6400 and being pushed in post. A very impressive camera. If S1H can fix the ghosting issues and the troubles with nasty blue leds I would still be tempted to get one for the timecode and large variety of codec options. Theses kids still get plenty outdoor time, though the interweb is alwayst tempting to them.:) One sidenote on the 709 color profiles. Filmed a mini doc with the S1 and GX85 both in portrait mode. On both cameras I experienced a bit waxy skintones. Would need further testing as some users got some nice results with it.

Awesome thread! For a camera this size it has very good ergos I must say. So in its own right, it is one of the coolest cameras for the cinematic moments on the fly. Almost a 4k pocket cinema like Andrew wrote in his review. It only lacks in super low light with mushy noise reduction and high light roll off for the perfect perfect "cinematic image". I think it produces a "rec709 cinema image" if one can say that.:) @Andrew Reid Hallo Andrew, like the posters before me, I would enjoy to see your IR footage with this camera. Btw, the black and white image is nice in L Monochrom, with extreme color temperature and a bit of Davinci.

A little vignette I fiilmed last week with the beautiful Canon FD 20mm and the awesome Vivitar 90mm macro lens plus 50mm 1.4 SSC for the slomo at the end. First shot is in BW and colored in Davinci, filmed with GX85. Arrow shots at sunset between 12800 and 25600 ISO, which worked impressively well in 4K, not so well in slomo of course. I am very, very impressed by this camera. Battery life is good. With two original batteries one should be happy for the day. Sorry for the sound quality and lack of sounddesign. All shot in L monochrom and portrait with manual color temperature, 8bit 4k and 125fps HD at the end. High shutter speed for the fans of motion cadence. cheers

No, no, yours were meant as an exception: " except from Ironfilms awesome youtube parade in the lighting thread." With flooding I meant the general concept of posting tons of stuff at once like an AI from outer space.:) Yours were great, like I wrote.

@canonlyme GX85 produces a great image if graded or with right in camera look. I don´t like the HD as much as from G7 or G6, with a bit too much aliasing to my taste. In super low light noise reduction makes everything mushy. Other than that great camera and my to go little film friend. Now, if it´s ok for you to share your video, would be very cool to see your colors fly in motion.:) cheers

S1 a lovely and fun camera. Still shooting 8bit with it due to lack of the vlog update. Colour is outstanding in its REC709 profiles. Would have loved a 25p 4:3 mode with full height of the sensor instead of the cropped 6K photo mode. Would love to see actual shorts with the Sigma FP. Silent or with sound, doesn´t matter, but a bit more of the visuality of fiction or essayistic or experimental films. I mean, this camera is indeed the full frame pocket cinema camera, Andrew and others have been mentioning. Anyone in Berlin I can borrow one from?:)

Davinci does a good job, if footage shot with a high shutter. 180 degree at normal framerates produces warps in my experience.

Awesome couple. Making films together in their apartment. The champs of single room and closet shorts. Btw, Prospect, a beautiful made scifi short made with the BMCC also got redone as a full feature film.

Hallo peepz, thanks for posting videos. But let us check if some of them have not been posted already on the same page please. Also, some comments about the posted video would help us to realize better why it is recommended to be watched. Thanks Let´s not flood our own threads with five videos in the row, unless they are about lighting:) Edit: so many kids in the videos. My apologies, no reposts on this page. Sorry, friends about my mistake.

Double thumbs up, except from Ironfilms awesome youtube parade in the lighting thread. That flooding with redundant youtube videos should not become a habbit with us! A thing about selfmade videos. Most of them are in the footage subforum and rather modestly discussed. The main forum gives better exposure to forum members and to discussion afaik.

@Lars Steenhoff Hallo Lars, I only look at the one with the kid. I think the grading was not reavealing the strength of 12bit raw. This one looks very good indeed, which youtube suggested by auto. Nice natural colors rich tones and smooth gradations. Even in Rec709 which is still impressive enough to me for awesome delivery.

Oh, it IS a GM1! Always took it for a GX7:) If it had a 50mbit codec only, if the GX7 had on or even the GX85, which has rather average HD quality. If the GM1 only had the ingenius thumb wheel I would forgive the lack of 50mbit and make it the worthy successor of the GF1 and a huge video upgrade to it, which the GX1 is not neither both of them.

Yeah, Gh5 is not a beauty. But an almost perfect video/film camera. When I see the pretty images it produces, its outer shape becomes as beautiful as an Oly can be. But heck are these Olys pretty! @fuzzynormal You still have your Lumix GM1? That one is a beautiful looking camera!

Now put a 50mm Leica R on that mean machine and show us some footage, please:)

@heart0less tasty treat, relaxing, educating, great visual presentation. Lens entertainment for all of us! Thank you! "..remove the senso out of the camera", entertainment that late time of the day should be recommended for any corona household. What a happy presentation of that cute german accent.:)

@fuzzynormal GX7 and Oly 45, what a beautiful photog combo. Awesome lens, great image wide open. Mine is silver, hardly used it over the years due to its attraction seeking colour. If GX7 had a higher grip instead of ending after two thirds of the height, I would have gotten it instead of the G6. One pretty outfit, prettiest mft camera in my opinion, besides GF1 and GM1. @IronFilm Shooting wise I used to dial in color temp manually. That way I had to correct a lot of times for pleasing results. I work very obsessively with curves, interacting, counteracting on certain color attributes, gaing desirable effects and correcting unpleasant ones, a lot of times working from right to left to right to left with the nodes. I create an "emulsion" first that way, then cc, then grade, with the emulsion often including the latter. In my opinion G6 sauce lies in working the blue channel, lifting shadows and lowering highlights, and then correcting undesired effects infront of the node. Profile used to be Natural with -2 on all parameters and contrast at 0. Nowdays I enjoy it a big deal to create the look incamera when shooting 709. So much fun to WB a sunset a 10000K in the Vivid profile. My G6 gave up on me this fall. Was a great mate and tool to learn video or film so to say. Now back to ibis:) Super wide angle works better with movement, static handheld shots always give warping madness of strong geometric attributes due to perspective. It is not IBIS´fault, neither from Panny, Oly or Sony:)

Hey, S1 lovers. Has anyone tried to find hidden features on their camera? @BTM_Pix of EOSHD community has gained access to a variety of Lumix cameras with his GX85 tool: # Now, if there is a hidden 200mbit mode for the S1 or true 4K or other tasty treats, that would really be lovely. So, any S1 users with experience regarding these hidden modes?

Hey fuzzy, yeah, it is still confusing to me that this camera has such awesome colour out of the box. Best of all MFT cameras I´ve "studied" on vimeo over the years. Some tempting mojo. If it had a 50mbit codec I would get one. People used to state, the G6 sensor and video was the same. But it was not, by far. Now, G6 graded, is another story and another joy for the 8bit adventurer:) Back to IBIS. Practice has its purpose, making handheldshots appear like they were done with a heavy camera plus that 2second bonus moment of gimbal heaven or curse.

Now, that! Totally agree. Until my Lumix G6 gave up on me I enjoyed it a big deal to practice eloquent handheld shooting. No Ibis and vintage lenses. What opened my eyes was the 2x digizoom. Lineskipping gave me a very fast readout and I felt like a smooth operator. Of course it was an aliasing party:) Maybe a 8ms readout would be perfect for smooth handheld action up to 50mm on s35 format.

Awesome. Dear Seb, you rock! Love your videos. Now, that Baby Hypergonar on a LX100 was really something, besides all your other beautiful and insightful videos. Thank you very much!

No, put a 20mm Canon FD lens on the S1 and stop dreaming of the S1H:) Would be awesome if you would do a thread about audio devices, a collection of knowledge you shared with us in several posts. Maybe a short write up, so it would not be a monster task to do so of course!:)

@Zach Goodwin2 Hallo Zach, you might like the Tokina 25-50mm F4 zoom. One of the fun finds by Andy Lee, who started this thread long time ago. You could get it in Pentax or Nikon mount and adapt it to your EF mount camera. You can get them for less than 15 dollars or even less than ten! Great 2x range and quality. Nice haptic quality and great size. Got mine for less than 15 bucks with shipping included!
