Vintage camera, muaha! @BTM_Pix Funny and saddening thumbnail.

The 150mbit 10bit codecs on the GH5 and especially on the S series are very robust. It smokes the 240mbit codec from the FS7. It's no contest. The flavour on S1, S1H, S5 also does well compared to Braw being equally robust in the shadows.
I was amazed by the Gh5 under good and moderately low light. S series have a powerhouse of a 10bit Long Gop codec. Panny is a big boss when it comes to codecs.

Adaptors could be a tight fit with the OM1

“Heads up for anyone who uses metabones or viltrox EF to M43 adapters.  Some of them do not fit on the OM-1 because they did not leave enough room.  The adapter back hits the hump.  I tried the metabones EF-M43 T adapter and viltrox speedbooster.  I imagine other adapters could have the same issue,”
 

Here you go, try it with this thumbnail to tick all the boxes that will get you on the front page.

I agree, I think VR is about the stupidest thing ever created. It has nothing to do with reality so why pursue it. It is like TikTok, dumb as hell.

It's all such a missed opportunity really.
The internet has morphed from "we put ads around what you watch, that keeps it free" to "literally everything is an advert".
It all ties up with the false narrative of infinite growth, the endless destruction of resources in order to replace goods with intentionally shortened lifespans, the rewarding of the most narcissistic and least intellectually and emotionally developed people with the greatest prizes...
I've had VR since very early on, it's cool but full of flaws, I hope more people do good things with it. But what's supposed to be the draw with a highly corporatised "metaverse"? I get to watch even more invasive adverts, have lowest-common denominator borderline-educationally subnormal "influencers" shouting and pulling WIDEMOUTH WIDEYES face directly injected into my eyes hahahah, all the while being somehow exploited for data in ever more dystopian ways? Why would I bother?
On Canonrumors chap's meltdown on Twitter, I find camera YouTube remarkably depressing because it's just endless clones of the same #content over and over saying the same things. Every person with pastel coloured backlight, every person with a softbox off to the side, every person saying the same things and doing the same tests, hoping to get their scraps from the table. Then you buy a camera and actually use it to make stuff and it is NOTHING like any of them said it would be cos they only scratch the surface and move on to pulling pogface beside the next piece of gear...
I was thinking maybe I should make a vid that is a "2 years in" review of the S1H cos it'd be a bit different, but I bet the algorithms would just hide it because it isn't selling the latest trending model. That's how disheartening it is, it just makes me think "why bother".

Interesting video with a different take. He makes some good points I think.
 
 

Pretty cool! I had forgotten about that project. I'm glad that they are still out there. I checked their demo footage and it looks great.
I went back to the Apertus homepage too. There two updates in the last year, and the most recent was five months ago. Maybe there's more going on than I realize, but they seem to have lost a lot of momentum.

Octopus Cinema Camera actually posted yesterday about a side project they're working on using their software with the Raspberry Pi camera.

left my run a bit late today. Still i did make some reflectors. 

camera of choice was the olympus m10 with a viltrox speedbooster and the 50mm super takumar.

I learned that i crushed the blacks on an already burnt snag. 🙄 I was almost wide open so thats a pretty narrow depth of field. So tomorrows effort will be a slower shutter, narrower aperture, a bigger reflector and perhaps more light.

basically budget, workflow & shooting scenario but that's where the cameras and what they offer is important to look at.
on Alexa's shooting RAW is 3 to 6 times the bitrate over Prores. That transforms into cost when you know how expensive the media is on Alexa's. But if you wanna shoot the highest res in open-gate mode then it's RAW only.
RAW also requires additional steps in post and time = money. If you've got very fast turnover project you may simply not afford to go RAW.
In some scenarios you may want to even bake-in a LUT. Prores makes sense for that.
But on RED/BMD you may still wanna go RAW over ProRes because the RAW compression options are so good, ProRes doesn't go up to 4444 and media isn't proprietary.
and even then when you've selected RAW, there are a bunch of compression ratio options you may select depending on requirements. for example RED gives out these suggestions:
RED qualifies HQ for VFX work where you need extreme detail or when you need to pull stills from motion. Next is MQ — or medium quality. Non-VFX cinema and high-end TV productions typically use MQ. In MQ, a 512GB card can capture up to 48 minutes. Last up is LQ — or low quality. In LQ, it records 77 minutes on a 512GB card. RED says its intended use is for TV, online content, documentary, interviews, and long takes. 
In the end, I guess my point to you was that it depends on an ensemble of factors.
 

It's probably fine for holidays. Although If I had young children around three or four, I don't know how good the AF would be at following them around. I am sure that my significantly older Sony a6500 or Olympus E-M1 MK II (with firmware 3.0 or later) would track them FAR better. 
Is the S5 a professional camera? Well, I would say there a significant amount of professionals using it to make money (including yours truly), if not as an A cam, at least as a B or C cam. It is a good jack-of-all-trades camera, IMHO. If the continuous autofocus was brought up to the level of Sony or Canon, or the new OM-1, it would be an absolutely great camera.
Paul Byun has made a couple of good videos about his experience as a commercial videographer using the Continuous AF and he has found it useable, but he has made some compromises that, to be honest, kind of offset many of the great benefits of shooting on the S5 or S1 cameras (e.g., shooting at 60fps, shooting in aps-c crop mode, shooting in a profile with higher contrast, shooting on primes at f/2.8 instead of f/1.8, etc.,).
So they aren't terrible cameras, and as you said, work great for non-critical work. But they really are just a reliable continuous autofocus system away from being the perfect camera (at least in my experience).

I seem to remember that the CineD tests showed cleaner shadow noise in Boost.

All DGO sensors don't work alike: from the test I've seen the DGO on GH6 increases the highlight range but doesn't do much to shadows. It's the opposite of the C70/C300III that emphasises clean shadows but doesn't really boost highlights. 

I don't know I am often needing dynamic range indoors when dealing with windows and often shoot at 4000 iso on my S1 indoors. Dynamic range in lower light situations is helpful, especially in the shadows which is where the DGO sensors seem to shine.
Yeah it would be nice if the GH6 had more dynamic range but its honestly very respectable and maintaining color accuracy throughout the dynamic range is more important than the dynamic range itself.

The S1H released with terrible NR baked in but it was later fixed. The S1 released without that issue and looks incredibly organic. The GH5 had the same NR issue upon release but was later fixed. The GH5 always did have a sharpened look, but the S1/S1H doesn't have that. BRAW has sort of a softer look, not sure why but its some sort of processing going on. If you shoot CDNG on BM cameras you'll see the difference in texture. It's a pretty subtle thing, probably doesn't really matter. Would be more apparent on the big screen like anything else.

Really? I aways thought GH series had that sharpened / NR look. 
BMD cams in contrast have very little image processing especially if you shoot RAW.
As for GH6's "DGO" sensor, it does seem a little underwhelming when compared to the P4K.
Also pretty annoying DR boost mode turns base ISO to 2000. I'd rather it be at a low value like 400.
At 2000 you're going to need ND's or close the iris during daylight which is when you want that DR boost.. odd choice.

Hey, no problem Geoffrey, - it's OK to have a different opinion and express it.
I've explored every single setting and then some and in my experience, in regard to tracking people walking towards you at anything above even a moderate pace, it's not reliable.
Arguably, no camera is 100% reliable, but in my experience, the XT3 was better than the S5 is and neither are as good as the Nikon Z6 I tried and that isn't as good as anything Sony or Canon.
But the S5 still remains my main video tool for professional work.

Darn! Sorry to hear. With mine the rear wheel has stopped functioning 3 years ago. They are well built but not rock solid inside I would figure. I imagine buying another one would be cheaper. But why not get figures on it? Time to buy a GX9 and test the 200mbit HD hack on it.:) The bigger crop in 4k might suck but would also mean more coverage for S16 C-mount lenses.

Hey there!
Bad news, I’ve just realized the the IBIS in my GX80 camera doesn’t work as it should anymore. 😫
I bought the camera new in 2018 and I just noticed today that when I shoot a video the IBIS seems to be working correctly for 3-4 seconds and then it starts an awful jittery movement without me doing anything. Same thing on video and photo modes. Even if I turn off the IBIS it can still do those jittery movements but maybe a bit less pronounced. At first I thought I got some problem keeping my hands stable when I realized it does that also when sitting still on a table. It’s as though I was trembling when holding the camera.

Anyone had such a problem with theirs? I’m afraid that a repair could cost more than a new camera?

Yeah, uprezing, could need that.:) @mercer I got kinda lucky with a real 16mm cinema! zoom, not S16 unfortunately, so maybe not sooo lucky. It´s a 10-100 Zeiss F1.8 and it´s beautiful. Price was 450USD. I was exited when I connected the PL- mount. What an event, that satisfying fit of an old classic cinema zoom lens to that rock solid PL-mount of my F3. Now I got another reason to gives this beauty a try with that Zeiss beauty on it. Funky previewing though through the monitor with the much smaller image circle. 🙂

People with the desire for a fundamental but affordable update could buy a GH4 for 500 USD or a Lumix G9 with the free 10bit update  for 800. These cameras are in the league and much more. @Django GH6 is rather in the league of A7s3 if specs deliver what they promise with that innovative screen, class leading IBIS and more, 5.7K60, minus the DOF from the FF sensor with the same lenses. Give it an affordable focal reducer for around 100USD and you are in S35 land. Wished they had given the GH6 a S35 sensor with the choice of a MFT crop

mr Deakins probably has 10 people lined up ready to pull focus day or night 🤔
there's a chance that there's a Steven Hawking of videographers out there somewhere.  Af  and or focus motors for a dude like would be a godsend no doubt. I don't use af much. 8 out of 10 lenses that i have are vintage manual focus. Each to their own, i reckon.
