please fellows, lets not encourage shit-posting.. some people are genuinely interested in this camera..
X cinema page up on Fuji's site with a bunch of new videos shot on H1: https://fujifilm-x.com/cinema/
That's some nice looking motion cadence.

Not really.
There is the Olympus 4/3 50-200 2.8-3.5 without even buying into the equivalence thing.

I'm about to sell this Oly because I've already sold the GX85 that I used it on. It autofocused about the same with the Viltrox cheap smart adapter as it did with the Oly mmf-3, which is to say slow but accurate in AF-S.

I beg to disagree.. while every camera will handle things differently, the XT2 is the first camera that consistently nails just about any artificial/mixed lighting i've thrown at it.. inversely, Sony's tend to always have this ugly yellow cast (A7S was greenish) that requires fixing in post. it's no secret and as you know Andrew has made extensive examples displaying zombie skin tones and such in his EOS profile promos.. i don't know another camera brand with such wacked out SOOC color science..
I second this. When shooting a narrative short with the X-T2, I kept the exposure meter at zero and AWB on and all shots matched (except the one where I accidently turned the comp wheel, the placement of which was the only thing that really annoyed me about the X-T2). That being said, I'm now thinking that the third A7 might beat out the X-H1 as my next camera.

I've always been a bit envious of all of you who do such gorgeous videos while out wandering but I always think stills except when I'm either writing or shooting a script. I love trying to catch the right moment with a single click. Here are three of my favorites (out of the ones I have on flickr). First two are from a 2016 trip to Boston with the NX500 and the last one is from a while back with the Panasonic FZ28 at Venice Beach.

Damn I want this camera. But I don't need it for the project I'm working on. It doesn't need to look that good and the X-H1 with a couple lenses would be about half my budget. But, damn, I want it. Wait til the next project...just wait...deep breaths...
(I do wish, however, that they had taken the little toggle switch from the X-E3 to change drive modes instead of that knob under the other knob like the X-T2).

but now Im kind of worried with the second card slot not being able to record video (FTW??)
According to someone spreading rumors to Fujirumors, that will not be an issue: https://www.fujirumors.com/hidden-fujifilm-x-h1-specs-fujifilm-not-mention-specs-sheets-sd-relay-recording/

Seems like the pans with the most jitter were also the fastest ones, so you could try slowing down the movements or, like @Mckinise said, bump up the fps.

Yeah it's gross
Hmm, I'm thinking @Liam was being sarcastic. I could be mistaken, though.
Looks great to me SOOC.

Dang, that should interest anyone! Holy! Was just scared off by that condition rating of 'E-', I figured it was far far away from being 'A+', but then it appeared they meant 'Excellent Minus' by that. Uhhh... lol, who does that?! If you mean excellent, like all the eBay crowd call it 'EXC+++' or something.
From experience with them, anything rated E or higher would pass for good as new on ebay. E- might have a little scratch or something. I probably wouldn't go below their V rating which is very good.

Hey Thomas, Seb is the master of vignettes. He makes every camera shine. Thanks for showing this piece. I would suggest to shoot in Natural -5 contrast and noise, -2 saturation and 0 or -2 for contrast. GH2 has some mojo for sure! I have a G6,G7 and GX85 but thinking about a GH2:) G6 is somewhat a GH2 with a better codec and it´s a great camera if you put some contrast and color curves on the material in the grading:)
Thanks for the info. I'll give that a try when my g85 arrives. But I can't take credit for showing that one, it was @anonim a few pages back.

Or just go for it. Make the film that you want to make so that you are happy with it, send it out into the world, see what happens then move on to the next project.

If you want to see what the a6500 is capable of (with some work), check out any of @kidzrevil's videos in this thread:
And @markr041 has some great looking footage in there pretty much SOOC.
If you shoot a lot of manual focus, I especially agree with Kidz on the g85. Panasonic's monochrome live view in combination with peaking is a dream for manual focusing. Does anyone else have this?

Back to $599 now.

I had a short script then took that concept and wrote a feature. But I was never quite happy with the feature script, so I did a big re-write and ended up with a script that I and others like a lot. But after all that, you could read the short and the final feature script and not see much evidence that they have anything to do with each other.
I haven't really had an issue with ending at a middle length. My shorts range from 3-12 pages. When I'm working on a feature, it never enters my mind that I'm finished short of 80 pages. I usually have plenty of story either in my head or in actual outline form that I know it's feature length before I start writing.
I have a mostly two-character road trip feature percolating now. If you'd like to bat around ideas more specifically, feel free to drop me a dm.

Don't forget the newer Fuji X-E3. It's small with a good EVF and, with one of their f1.4 primes, you're good to go in low light, too. It's doesn't have a flippy LCD, though.

I just compared the Viltrox 4/3 to M4/3 smart adapter against the $120 more expensive Olympus MMF-3 adapter and they have identical AF performance with the Olympus 50-200mm f2.8-3.5 attached to a GX85. And when I say identical, I mean identically slow. It would be fine for still photography where the subject is being still but unusable for video AF. Image quality was also identical. This was with the non-SWD version of the lens, SWD lenses might be better...I don't have any to test.
Physically, the Viltrox feels more solid than the MMF-3 but has just a hair more play between the lens and the adapter. Both are good and tight against the camera body.
With the Viltrox being just as good as the Olympus adapter, I would definitely give their focal reducer a try.

Tascam DR10X is only US$99:

I do also wonder whatever happened to this:
It looks like they've brought back all of their December deals for 2 days...Tascam, Z Cam, SmallHD, X-T1, etc. I grabbed two of the DR10Ls the first go around but still haven't used them.

It's a little past Black Friday but B&H has $200 off the Sigma 18-35 and 85: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/find/dealZone.jsp
About 6 hours to go on the deal.

I like pie.
The House of Pie in LA is heaven (and it's where Tarantino did some writing in his early days).
And if the numbers do convince you to go for cake, Broadway Pizza in Memphis. That's right, a pizza joint has the best cakes you will find anywhere.

I used a couple different strength non-variable B+W NDs on a project with the Fuji X-T2 and had no color shift. Looked great. I haven't tried their VND though.
Fuji X-H1. IBIS, Phase Detect 4K beast?

I don't know. What usually annoys me is jitter with movement across a static screen. It could be some Fuji magic dust sprinkled in the new 200mbit codec or her spinning across the screen is disguising it. Either way, the image is lovely.
