Yeah I hope canon, sony or panasonic would just buy up ARRI just for its patents. Like Nikon did with RED (the nikon ZR looks amazing). If somebody would buy up ARRI and trickle down their patents in a 2K body they would own the filmmaker space and these camera's would fly off the shelves. (Event video etc might be a different game, where fast AF is more important, but heck these big 3 companies already have decent enough AF today as is). But sadly also a sign that the old ways of working is done for. AI will eat lunches, social media has killed traditional video jobs (artfull and skillfull). watching TV has declined, watching slop filmed with an iphone with crazy transitions and bad lighting has become the norm. (as it feels more real to the consumers, and I get that, but also sad to see jobs, careers and also art plummet). Even the actual movies that are being release over the last 15 yeras have been disneyfied. (cute animal, jokes, woke characters, ...) Not sure if anyone watched the new predator movie. The beginning of the film was great, and the ending was great, but man the middle part with bud, woke synthetics and the friendship arc just sucked.

Not for weddings/event videos you think? Looking for a faster setup.

Yeah they should price the s1ii in the nikon zr ballpark. Or even less.. Now the canon r6 iii also seems pretty nice and even that camera is cheaper then the s1ii.. Nikon and canon are much more known and if the camera's somewhat similar people are choosing canon or nikon, just for the name alone.

These look really good. Looking forward to the comparison video's of the nikon zr, canon r6iii, panadonic s1ii and I guess still the sony a7siii. (Would get the s1ii for the ibis, nikon zr for the monitor and IQ(but fear the datarates), hope the r6iii has similar IQ as the zr and good ibis, and the a7siii/fx3 is still somewhat industry standard which has benefits like lots of good luts available). + I still own a bunch of EF glass which really works well on panasonic. (Adapting it to sony kinda sucked back in the day, nikon not sure, canon should be pretty flawless I guess)

Wedding seems like of one the safe plays right now. People who want to get married still want actual photo/video.

Hi, So how is your business going this year? I feel overall companies are spending less. Not too many jobs out there I feel. It feels like 2008 over here. Not sure how you guys are doing, where, how, what. Thanks,

Hi, yesterday panasonic finally released the firmware uodate and lumix flow update for the s5ii. I really like the app. Setup time is also fast. As this might replace my shinobi ii for travel purposes. Allthough I need to test how long batterylife of my smartphone is while using lumix flow. Not sure if there are any other drawbacks. But apps like these could give external monitor brands a hard time. Or at least in the consumer section. Cheers

Could be just me, but these videos look better then the lumix launch video's.

What are the datarates with h265 vs nraw?

Have not read up with the datarates. What is up with the datarates?

This looks like a great camera to me. Too bad the ibis isnt as great as the lumix camera's. But looks better then fx3, has a better screen, takes better stills. Never had an nikon before. So might end up buying one. The big monitor sounds like a win, as it makes so much difference in the process of enjoying making video's. External monitors are somewhat a drag.

Looks like a nice camera, looking forward to some side by sides with the c50, fx3 and s1ii. AF with adapters, AF with native glass, ibis, colour, dr, battery life.

Looks nice, no ND though. I hope it will have ibis and great battery life.

I presume the AF on the dji ronin 4d is better then the s1rii. Allthough not sure. Something I negletated over a decade, but now I realise how much time you save by using AF. So it moved up in my importance list. And is why I am also considering sony again, as they still seem to lead the pack in the AF department.

Well the prompting is not that easy, what sometimes you think is easy turns out in an horror challenge to get it somehow how you would like. It costs credits. Clients depend on your knowhow and experience to get it done. Similar like actual shooting, what is stopping them to get an camera and shoot it themselves. Time/costs
