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.

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!

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. 

Backstory here for the lovely 10 year old Tokyo footage.

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.

Like they say...  gotta be in it to win it!
I'm just guessing here, but you prefer 4K images don't you?
I shoot travel, often on the more adventure side of travel too.  
I love it when people tell me to control the scene.  Please tell me how I can better control:
a landscape being shot out the window of a moving helicopter a sunset the buildings and people in a large city a cave while taking the tour a museum or world heritage site (eg, Pompeii) an amusement park with rides a market in an emerging economic country etc Next you'll be telling me I don't need a weather-sealed camera because I should just control the weather!
To directly answer your question, yes, I need more DR.  and more robust images where I don't have to choose between photographing the sunset or the scene in front of it.
I bought the OG BMPCC and BMMCC specifically to study their images, both for the colour science and for their mojo.  I have studied them at length - you can find a small proportion of the tests I have done littered all through these forums over a period of years.  I am yet to locate almost anything that accounts for these factors that you claim do not exist.
No, but I have shot both the OG BMPCC and BMMCC alongside the GH5 and tried to match the GH5 to the BM camera on many occasions (just search). 
P4K footage looks like GH5 footage, but better.  Neither looks much like the OG.
You don't like videographers do you?
I see this kind of dismissive prejudice all the time from snooty "film-makers".  The general tone is that "real film-makers" shoot in controlled conditions and should be free to create images that have nice colour and background separation and images that are expressive, and the people that don't shoot in controlled conditions should be happy with footage that looks like it was shot with a smartphone from 6 years ago.
It's kind of like when people say "go back to wherever you came from - you're not welcome here" only instead of 'here' being a place, it's a level of image quality.

So you think people in Africa, India, China, etc. are buying the hell out of 4k tv's??? You do realize the west represents about 15% of the whole world population. And how many of them have a 4k TV? I don't. A 4k TV is about the last thing in hell I am looking to buy.
Speaking of buying, instead of buying a 4k TV I just bought a Canon 1Dc. Get it in a few days, has 2000 actuations. WAY better toy than a TV.
This is the breakdown. https://www.statista.com/statistics/237584/distribution-of-the-world-population-by-continent/

You said "some would argue that is a bit of progress" and I pointed out that the DR hasn't increased and the battery life also hasn't really increased.
That was 5 years after the OG BMPCC.
Personally, I think that given the huge increase in size and the time elapsed they could have made more substantial improvements to it.
If you can't see it then that's fine - more power to you, but just because you can't see it doesn't make it fake.
Otherwise, most of the stuff on earth is fake because I haven't seen it.
Actually, I think that a staggeringly huge number of people have 4K TVs now.
That's the whole point of the manufacturers flogging 4K and then 6K and now 8K and 12K.  They aren't doing that to sell more cameras, they're doing that to sell more TVs.  Go to your nearest big box store and see if they even sell a 1080p TV above a certain size....    I just went to target.com and looked at TVs from 30" up (they sell tiny portable ones too) and the cheapest one a 50" 4K for $319.

Max Tech pivoted from cameras to phones.
Steve went Skyping with ghosts
Top video has 11 million plays.
So the question for EOSHD is, what should I pivot to now...
Special lenses that can spot elven spirits in the woods?

They will need to rotate the James Webb Telescope 180 degrees and point it back at earth to spot those.

My favourite line from the description is :
 It will not work for everyone (no app or box does). 
I was curious about the reviews, this one on Play store caught my eye :
It actually works!!!! Not fake like the other apps.
I just wonder how many spirit decoder apps one has to go through first before thinking that maybe its a load of old bollocks. My limit would be less than one so credit to that user for having the patience to do the heavy lifting for everyone else so that they can now buy the real deal.
Maybe you can review lenses that can spot unbiased reviews on YouTube?
Probably need to start with something like this though.

 

In 2021 My 5 year old nephew made almost the same money doing videos on YouTube than I made doing videos for clients.  That's true.
So, there ya go. 
I've thought very hard about whether or not I should try and do some sort of production for YT monetization.  I've decided I'd rather not.  I'm just not interested in chasing that stuff. I don't have any passion for it.

And you think I am crazy!

Happy pre birthday wishes then... 
Even in 9 to 5 jobs there are those that are married to it.
Whether your a boss, employee or self employed i think contentment or a balance is the key. 
I liked my last job, then covid hit and i probably did two weeks work in two years. In that time my dad got ill, became pretty frail has alzeimhers. So now the government pays me a pension to take care of my father which includes showering and wiping his ass once a day. 
Let me just say any job where you dont have to wipe someone's ass is a good job lol.
I only do it as he's looked after me his whole life, now its time i repaid the favour. Still i feel blessed, fortunate, lucky, i own my property, i live in a country with a pretty good health care system and there are no doubt people much worse off than me.  

I will be 75 years old in a few days. I could have a son your age. I have a daughter close to your age. It was not about the money it was family time, that you will regret.
If you have a 9 to 5 job you like that's not a problem.

Well I don’t know your age and I’m 51 myself  which even to me sounds ‘old’ on paper, but I don’t feel any older than maybe 35?
I’m not talking about the, “who are you kidding mate?!” scenario but most folks I meet at weddings think I’m just over 40…but the reality is I was started shooting weddings when most of my clients were at kindergarten.
I also have plenty of industry mates well into their 60’s and still holding their own in this industry.
I’m not planning on going past 60 myself. I just reckon that the 30 year point will be a good time to call it quits.
In the meantime, I’m not even slightly bothered about the cheaper guys. They have always existed and some even make it, but I just do my own thing and for 22 years that has worked for me.
What does my closest competitor charge?
Don’t know, don’t care.
Who is my closest competitor?
Don’t know, don’t care…but it’s not the guy charging less than 50% that I do know.
I think it’s relatable across most industries and for YouTubers etc ie, it’s a constantly evolving situation and you do what works for you.
There’s parts of my job I don’t much care for but compared with a 9-5, 48 weeks per annum, with a commute each day? 
Not many options out there I’d swap my situation for.
