That's a great! I'm happy for you. I've never had that camera, but I've watched a lot of footage. I usually never see them under 600 euros here and I've always said that if I really wanted a Blackmagic, I'd go for a used Pocket 4k as they only go for about 200 more. Like the GH2, the BMMPC camera is iconic. I end up hanging on to stuff like that because I'm a sucker for that stuff. I still have my 60 Euro special GH2 as a backup live-stream camera for my English classes.

That deal, dear Sir John, is of the rather splendid kind. 🙂 @John Matthews
I challenge that with 1080 60p RAW for under 251! Is it possible?
Yes, it is. I got a second BMMCC body with..., ahem, ahem... without anything else, not even charger nor battery, for 250 EUR, if seller is not a fraud though.

I always said, EOSHD library is a treasure chest. Forum family just didnt seem to hunt for it enough. Member posts are also gems to be treasured dearly.
Andrews interview with Lumix GH pieces is my favorite journalistic camera piece of 2022 so far! Had to watch the GH1 piece and GH2 anamorphic in Spreepark Berlin.
Thank you very much, Andrew. Great form, taste and article! @Andrew Reid Giving back some memories with the Spreepark piece!
@mercer Well said, Awesome! Great mojo of older and interesting tech is exactely the mojo and asset of this site!

Hehe. Andrew does an awesome interview with the Japanese head engineer and includes his masterful vignettes with the Lumix GH cameras.
I then rewatch two GH1 pieces and read into the vimeo comments for his masterful "Tokyo Storm". There I read a certain comment out of all the appreciative exited voices. I go to the commenters vimeo site and I discover this, filmed with HD camcorders cameras and the quasi 720p machine that the EOSD 700D is.
I zipp through the video, watch parts of it and hopefully will watch the whole film.
But check out from 18 to 20min. Awesome, simple, masterful, Tokyo Storm qualities from a Tokyo Storm admirerer.
Cheap cameras Black and White galore and glory. 19.50min- wow.

I thought they added HLG video in version 1.6 ?
Has to be in Manual exposure, 10bit MOV format and the lowest ISO is capped to 320 according to the manual.
Maybe they hide it as an option if you are not in Manual and 10bit MOV ?
It wouldn't be the first time Panasonic have hidden a picture profile.....

 

Yeah, best to wait until (after) the summer. Prices will drop as soon as people can spend there money on other things...

Just got a GX880 (almost new) + Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 II (like new) + 7artisans 25 f/1.8 (also like new) for 200 Euros. I missed some of my Panasonic gear. I'm back now.

As the owner of a Canon 700D, I'd suggest that it would barely be 720p!
But it certainly is a nice example of what can be done with enough skill....

I think perhaps a lot of the similarity aspect might be to do with there being so much more received/perceived wisdom about the best way to expose and colour footage etc now than there was a decade ago so a lot of people ploughing a very similar furrow.
Back then people were finding their own way and working within what they had in camera a lot more, particularly as the then £250K DaVinci colour correction suite had yet to be released as a free of charge piece of software, so there was a lot less fannying around in post.
At some stage, helpful advice and shared experience morphed into dogma and many people end up singing the same song.
An example of which would be a sizeable amount of Tokyo Rain Cinematic videos you'd find on YouTube now would have a substantial amount of slow motion in them as that is the common expected aesthetic. 
Also, life was a lot less shit ten years ago so there's that as well.

On some level, you're probably right. Slowing down and finding the shot based on what you want to communicate will yield better results. Even in this video, Andrew's use of Dutch Angles superimposes a different feel of the city. It's like every puddle has a story to tell.
With that, I still feel like there is something missing from these newer cameras. With all of their advancements in color depth and resolution, the images look more brittle and similar. Obviously, there are exceptions...  and maybe I'm just being nostalgic.

Don't think its necessarily the cameras myself.
Its mainly the move away from slowing down, seeing the composition rather than just the opportunity and using the lost art of putting it on a tripod.
Too much running, too much gunning and not enough cunning these days.

I agree with Mercer, I think that was one of the best videos Andrew did and the GH2 with the hacks back then I think looked better than the GH3, GH4 ever did. Main reason I  just bought the 1DC. We seem to be getting worse Color Science every year.

Thanks for posting this. @Andrew Reid I really enjoy your older work. Before you sell off the site, it could be fun to see you revisit some of these classic cameras.
For a site based on gear and tech and how they merge to create a craftsman's tool, one intangible variable, often overlooked is mojo and it oozes from some of these older cameras. I don't know what has changed over the past 10 years, but these newer cameras seem to lack it.
On a side note, I came to your site for your reviews and stayed due to these videos that accompanied them.
Thanks and good luck with your future endeavors.

Had the opportunity to interview Masanori Koyama, product planner for the GH6 and S1H:

Hope you enjoy.

mr reid just make an app that takes a photo of the stars, do some fancy connect the dots stuff, add some ai texting and bobs your uncle or maybe you aunt these days. btm_pix could probably whip something up in an hour. although if it takes off i'll want a percentage of the profits.  

Depressing Academy Awards' yesterday, not only for the winners (Spielberg and Kenneth Branagh being beaten by Jane Campion is a joke) but above all, people act like nothing is going on in the East.
Let alone the egocentric/selfish and poor overacting little performance carried out by someone (Will Smith) who, despite his craft, still doesn't understand what to be an actor means or yet to be a man either.
 
Coppola, Al Pacino e De Niro saved them all with the only mention to Ukraine suffering made all over the show...
 
 
 
 
 

P.S.
This is too little:

* to the Ukrainan and Russian suffering

It was sponsored by a massive Crypto dot com ad as well....
Which is ironic considering crypto's deep involvement in money laundering, illegal activity, mafia states and governments, they are basically Putin's best friend.

Interesting to see this trend.
LOMO anamorphic gets a nod!
Cameras used though not so interesting, a lot of ARRI as usual!

Steve's spirit box app should have a sponsor like Kessler and accompanying pocket dolly.
Until it all goes wrong, the spirit jokes about his balding head and he ends up smacking the ghost in the mouth Will Smith style.
