Open gate for the fp is not needed for 35mm anamorphic as is usually shot - just crop the sides.
The current height of a 16:9 recording on the fp and similar affordable full frame cameras matches the height of an Alexa 35 camera recording in open gate. You do lose some resolution from cropping the sides, but it's fine and it also improves rolling shutter speed.

It is a shame they can't do slight compression like 2:1 or 3:1 like the old BMPCC

Maybe posting some example images might help?

As a manager, its probably worth assessing how safe any brand would ultimately be in the hands of a corporation with this behaviour in its recent past anyway.
 

To be fair, even Olympus themselves weren't interested in keeping Olympus cameras going anymore.
Better to have been bought and transitioned this way by a company that was - at least in the current term - interested in producing them rather than it being bought strictly for the name and it then be used just as a brand stamp on a succession of low end OEM stuff.
There are numerous examples of this in different industries but one example from photography is Rollei where that brand has gone from meaning this :

To meaning this :

With Olympus, we will now at least be spared that indignity and so it can be remembered for the cameras up to this point rather than being subsequently associated with a raft of shitty products.
 
 

Thank you for your honest and vsluable post and glimpse into the hardships of an upcoming DOP @PPNSHopefully your hard work will pay off a big deal this year! I had a branch fall on my head when setting up a butterfly with the gaffer. Whenever i was being the gaffer i took great care of my lighting people. That accident made me decide to stop working on sets of narrative features in the low budget world in Germany for sure as most of the films made here are not dear to my heart at all. Wish you the best and good choices and instinct regarding projects.

Maybe Andrew could check the IP addresses and answer that. Your knowledge is amazing. How did you know about the infamous doctor? 

I’m working on a new reel and website. I had a weird year.
Jan 23: got fired from my full time job
feb - sept 23: got fairly depressed due to being rejected after around 350 job applications.
at the same time i tried out freelancing while searching for a new job, done a little decently paid corporate work, a lot of barely paid and unpaid work as a dp, gaffer or colorist on short films and music videos.
oct - dec 23: got lucky due to a cinematography bootcamp i followed and ended up working as a DIT on a feature.
income wise it ended up being almost the same as 2022, so hopefully the freelancing thing will pick up more steam. I’m going to try making some spec ads with some directors i know this year, so we could get work that way.
 
 

I would guestimate, not less than 2000 and not more than 2500 dollars.
Everywhere else in the world, more. As per.
The strong rumour is it’s going up in size & build to between the Z6ii and Z8 so both of those factors will command a premium.
Obviously it has to go up in spec or folks will moan, if not have complete meltdowns.
It won’t have all the Z8 spec because it can’t and the biggest question (for me anyway) is whether it will have the old 24mp sensor, the 33mp from the Sony A7iv, or something else.
Personally I think they would sell more if it’s the 33, but… That could also help command more of a premium and push it towards $2500.
I’m not paying above 2.5k for one regardless of what it is or has as the current model has all I need for my intended purpose.
If it’s within the range above and in time, I’m going to give it a hard look at the very least in case there is something that either might cause me to rearrange my plans slightly or warrants spending what would then be an extra €1000+, but I doubt that will be the case.
Never say never, but I could be tempted and it’s not a stupid amount to spend compared with say a Z8 (which I am not massively keen on) or a Z9 which is a bit overkill, but I really like.

; ) Win98... LOL I see you've scrolled down the page, very well : D
hey I had already posted one before along this thread earlier (where's yours? ; )

Among a few other trying to put this environment much friendly than an anonymous online corner...
 

Ok, so this thread reminds me of when I was young and we were going through all of my dad's old slides and we came across one where, well... it wasn't so much a selfie as it was really him just not sure which end of the camera to look through when taking a photo. 

In the office.

i dragged the cat into it for the bonus points. the second photo since no one else has done it yet 🙄

My "Amelie" tribute selfie

No need to apologise..  unless you represent the sun, that is  
It's a strange thing, but the sun here in WA is stronger than on the east coast, and the Aussie sun is stronger than elsewhere, like Europe or Asia.  My skin is fair, but I could go out in the sun for an hour or so when I was in Italy and not get burnt, but here it's like 10 minutes.  I've gotten burnt wearing a wide-brimmed hat sitting in a chair on the side of a grass sports field, which is completely ridiculous.
Anyway, isn't it your turn to post a selfie?  I have a vague recollection you might have posted one before at some point...?
Great pic.  Nothing broken in your lighting or composition skills!

My apologies. You have fair skin indeed then. I'm about nine hundred meters above sea level, its supprizing how easy it is to get sunburnt out here. See it all the time with working backpackers going for their visa extensions working in the fields.

This is from commuting to work at sunrise and home again in late afternoon, standing in the shade when waiting for buses, and not going anywhere outside in-between.
I'm not sure where I'm meant to be wearing that hat.  My indoor lighting isn't that powerful!!

you almost match 2 rows down 3rd from the left i wasn't sure if that was your grading attempt or not 😉 Fair skin like yours. You should start wearing a hat. got to look after your self mate.

Easy. Just pick the one that looks most like you playing the lead in an Indy film called Modern Ninja where you are John Normal, a man who achieves invisibility through being unremarkable and where special skills are centred around his ability to talk about local sporting events, a passionate love but mediocre understanding of politics and global affairs, and traditional and slightly close-minded values.

Does This count as a selfie??? 
I was on a job (real estate photography) and I had climbed to the top of the backyard to photograph the view. Unfortunately, it had rained earlier in the morning and when coming back down I slipped and fell on my keister. My new(ish) Panasonic S1 - which I was holding - fired off a shot at the moment of impact with the ground. I do NOT recommend doing this.
 

Here is one dark selfie of me:

Good luck with your project! Is that  you on one of the photos, the Win98 one? 🙂 @Emanuel

Just a 3d render and a guy with nervous hands. Fake vertigo inluded.😂

Some underwater macro marvel. Not bad for a little pocket cam. Upload is 1080p, so wandering if it was even filmed in 4K. So here the little Lumix LX10 for some underwater footage. I really like the framing and the cinematography as such. What do you think? @Davide DB 🙂
