@Andrew Reid Andrew, what I meant was to express that you would have liked to have been there. No apologetic approach, just the matter of a simple fact. I think that is an honest and confident and proud and relaxed way to go by. The marketing newbies for the event didnt know any better. I based many of my camera and gear purchases on infos from your site. I also recommended a lot of stuff to other people, based on your reviews and forum. The marketing pros of BM know your sites dynamics and influence. They just let the apprentices do the job. It´s common to do so. If that would be the case. Don´t begin to invite spitters. Keep on inviting the cool cats like you always have been. Don´t start to cook for company execs but for you and your friends. Just the way you always have, Andrew! That´s why your site is so cool. Of course an open house gets to be visited by people who don´t respect the spirit and soul of the house. They will leave soon enough by themselves if you don´t waste your hospitality and attention on them. Put up a pantheon for you and your cool site. Then it´s more fun to buy stuff for testing instead of putting your very own money on the line all the time. best and cheers

The rumor stats at personal view are gruesome. Hope they are false. Why a GH6 rumor anyway? Why at personal view? Where is the GH3 hack?

@Andrew Reid, you are very passionate about the things you do and great things they are. I believe the event was organised by typical marketing people, not the people who you were talking about. Write them a note that you would have really enjoyed to have been at the Manchester event and they will appreciate that honesty and expess their gratitude for your great work in the course of affordable cameras with a cinematic image. Great song! Legendary video! Thanks! :)

not for a possible A7siii. so i felt, threads headline was raising too high of my expectations. Good thing I got some entertainment with some kinotika videos right after that. Fun channel and pleasure to watch.

With all the original GH5 goodies including IBIS and battery life plus D850 or A7III low light and maybe full VLOG, it would THE option. Hard to believe though. We will see. Looking forward to see what use you might put a Z6 to. Loved your D750 footage back then.

Topic of this thread was misleading me to believe there was a rumor about a 10bit Sony. There has not been one yet. The new Nikons on the other hand are 10bit full HDMI beasts for granted! And that with Nikon colors! My headline for this thread: "Sony a7s3 with 8bit for sure and flip out screen, no word about 10bit" :)

Gee, I was always impressed by the HD image of the D750, later very impressed by the quality of the the 850s video in 4K. With Nikons new babies we get all that FF glory and Nikon colors and robust codec in external 10bit now and some new LOG format. All that with IBIS and many mirrorless goodies in FF size. I´m super exited! Exited to see what you guys gonna do with it!

I must say I´m not impressed with the cinema5d aircraft footage. The colors look good but not better than Canon, Nikon or the latest Lumix colors, rather less so. I am wondering about the topic of this video as for marketing this camera. The narrator does seem to admire his sujet more than the task of testing a camera. People in the graded screenshots look angry. Maybe they are upset about their skintones or they are preparing for some holy cause of cruisade. Either way, I don´t think the author of this neither Fuji did themselves a favour with this minidoc.

Noooot:) You don´t want that package of cameras nor gimbal boredom but to get one massive Panny camera for all that money instead, staying true to the roots but upping the GAS game. Varicam LT, one camera for all your money! Honestly, cannot wait to see your EVA footage! Congrats!

Hey, nice mood for sure! What noise reduction did you use? What were your settings? Second shot looks perfect. cheers

color with fs700 plus raw update and external recording with shogun flame in 4K 422 prores (10bit) is massive. would buy one if price was right. the external recording via raw update makes this an image quality monster for indy filmers.

That would be really something! One of my all time favorite threads since I´ve been posting and regularily reading here! Thanks guys and Alpicat, keep it going! Though the DVX super8 global shutter raw monster would have been really awesome. Would love a ccd raw camera in that formfactor and stabilized zoom lens!

@Alpicat, yeah, it was a hardware hack, making it possible to record to a computer, such as a mac mini. If one looks for DVX100 Andromeda, it tells the whole story about a few happy campers having purchased the enhancement and filming with a 720p+ resolution 3CCD raw camera with global shutter, massive color, nice resolution image, in the beloved form factor of the legendary DVX100! It would be the perfect Digital Bolex substitute. Love this thread! Super fun read, with beautiful footage!

@Alpicat, three of them ccd sensors even, yeah! global shutter included! Unfortunately only a few enthusiasts on this forum are interested in my thread above , which I find astonishing. I love this eos m super 8 thread though! Still, a bit disappointed. Well, no biggie. cheers :)

Hey guys, another massive contender for THE digital super 8 camera would be... the Panasonic DVX100 Andromeda! 720p 444 10bit, 3 ccd magic! See this footage and info from this thread. Would love, if this could be revived:

@TrueIndigo, how about reviving the DVX100 hack. I would support that with a donation! I want that camera! CCD magic, three times that magic, awesome form factor, 720p 4444, digi bolex super 8 version! Yes it does! Big time!!

Heck, you better hack or mod me that sucker:) Hell, that Andromeda DVX is really giving me a sleepless time. So you will turn our newly purchased DVX cameras into some cinema raw monster super8 cameras then? :)

Darn!:( :) Anyone on this forum ever filmed with a DVX Andromeda? I would find it very exiting, having a great form factor, CCDs, that nice 10x servo zoom plus, NDs, plus that awesome 720p raw! Looking at the footage, I am very impressed. Beautiful CCD image plus a nice camera. How wouldnt I like that! The Super8 Digital Bolex for sure!

This is awesome or was, since the company has been bought by assumingly Panasonic or Red. The Andromeda mod gave the DVX100 fantastic 10bit 720p in 444 color, making it a magic super 8 digital cinema camera with its beautiful three ccds, bypassing the nappy DV format and showing its true resolution in pixels and color. If digital bolex is the incarnation of its 16mm analogue ancestor, then the DVX is the kid of the super 8 bolex. https://vimeo.com/groups/andromeda @BTM_Pix, Hey, you have done such awesome stuff with software on the Pana GX camera and with your upcoming hardware controller. Would you be interested to revive this project? I would pay money for this to have this unique ccd cinema magic in my hands. Holy macaroni:

super 16 size sensor like in the lumix phone cm1, so it has been done before. that combined with with 1.8 lens, and here you go. the lx15, the one inch compact from pana, has a 1.4 to 2.8 lens and is pretty small, like the rx100 series too. so a super16 video smartphone might be possible, just like the cm1 has given us a first idea about.

Well shot, great mood of place and activity. Gimbal plus smartphone or m43 lumix. Looks good.

Wow, now my lens related parts of comment disappeared by commenting on something else. Guess, this is an edit now. So, again: @kidzrevil Awesome shots and magnificient colors. Really standing out. Makes me want to chase some natural light more! Findings about the Fujinon 12.5mm c-mount super16 lens. Awesome! No crop on GX85 in UHD mode plus electronic IBIS. Put focal length on the smallest number, think it was 6mm, to avoid wobbliing vignette. Great image, colors. Really usuable at F2. My new favorite lens on the GX85. I guess I will keep the GX. Perfect combo. Crop (compared to 135 photofilm) in 4K plus electronic IBIS should be around 2.4, making it an equivalent of 15mm on m43 full sensor.

Glenn, you sound like webrunner, already :) Heck, I might start to apply that kinda liguistics. Heck yeah, that would be a tons of fun. :) Form factor is such a weird thing. The body i prefer the most with a pancake is from the GF1. Somehow it feels so much cooler and fun in the hand than my GX85. Don´t know why. So, if they put out a smartphone in that formfactor, heck, that would be cool. Or wouldnt it.

Great forum, great members, great originator Andrew Reid! Your forum got me started into the DSLR/M cams and cinematography with them. Your forums members kept me involved with a beautiful community. Made some great friends here! Love this place! cheers

wow, thinking about these very few of the most recent remarks in this thread, i must say, I really would appreciate it, if they will be deleted, @Andrew Reid! These kind of attacks are not acceptable, in my opinion.
