    Magic lantern is making a lot of progress with 3K+ on the 5D mark 2!
    Seems what happened with the 5 year old mark III in 2017 is now happening with the 10 year old mark II...
    3K announcement: https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=19336.msg205638#msg205638
    Initial 4K progress (10.5 frames per second): https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=19336.msg208417#msg208417
    Initial 5K progress (6.5 frames per second): https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=19336.msg208355#msg208355
    The 5D mark II has always been limited to 30fps, but there is also some progress in getting higher framerates:  https://twitter.com/autoexec_bin/status/1048804509827452928
    The forum user reddeercity has some builds on that thread.
    I am super excited about this, even spent 100 pound on a new motherboard to fix my camera.
    Video I made using the 3K build:
    Shot in 2880x1080 resolution, Graded + converted to ProRes using MLV App (https://github.com/ilia3101/MLV-App), edited in Pitivi on linuX.
    Lenses: Jupiter 9, Helios 44, Takumar 135mm, cosina 19-35 (for one shot)
    If anyone wants an MLV or DNG or something from the video I can provide.

    Dimitris, maybe the problem is the codec you are using to export the files.
    Which codec do you use? 
    After effects has color management. Premiere doesn't. You have to create a lut for it.
    On After can go to Project Settings -> Color Settings and choose the color space you want to work.
    I have found that Rec 709 Gamma 2.4 has inconsistencies when exporting ProRes files.
    For ProRes export, working in sRGB 2.1 colour space gives me the most accurate results.

    Really nice looking piece. It should be noted that it really helps that every shot in this piece is either a sunset, silhouette, or some sort of low split light setting.
    The really great thing about the OG pocket camera is that you can get that cinematic look in the middle of the day, overcast, or even indoors. Watch this, shot with the pocket and 16mm film and you’ll see what I mean. Very vivid looking images. 
    It will be interesting to see what people will create with th new pocket. Hope I can be proved wrong.

    Watch this video and stop saying that Pocket4K is not сinematic. In the hands of the master with taste and good lenses, even the GH5 is beautiful. Otherwise, it is too early for you to have such a camera, learn to shoot first
    Shot on GH5 using Lomo anamorphic and spherical lenses (50mm roundfront and +1 +2 diopters in a few shots). Graded with FilmConvert using KD 5207 Vis3.

    Here is some unedited footage you guys can play with. I'll be curious how you grade it. On an interesting side note discounting the wind noise, the audio in the clip is quite good and the mics are stereo. I think in a quite environment you might be able to get away with in-camera audio. I did not expect that. Honestly, I usually just mic my subject if they are speaking, but in a pinch these built in mics might work.

    X-T3 in da house!
    Just a quick glimpse at the image, but I already have a feeling it's the best I've ever seen from a camera this price. Wonderful codec and detail.
    I am trying the Zhongyi SpeedMaster 35mm F0.95, which is also a positive first impressions, very clean bokeh and Noctilux-like rendering.
    I am letting that duke it out with a couple of cheap Speed Booster clones though, to see if it's worth the money over, say, a Minolta 50mm F1.4 + SB.
    Hey guess what - you can punch in to focus during 4K recording and the quality is incredibly detailed, unlike Sony.
    The EVF is better than A7 III hands down.
    I am using Film Simulation bracket-mode for stills which is right next to Movie mode on the drive lever, makes it a bit easier to switch.
    1/50 assigned to "T" on the shutter dial.
    Just waiting for my B+W vario ND to arrive.
    It will be manual focus for now as I am away from my main base with all my fuji glass back there. Will be bringing this to Photokina with me and saying to Canon "why would I buy YOUR 1.8x crop mirrorless camera"
    GH5 just got beaten I think.
    All it lacks over A7 III is a way to get the full frame look with Canon lenses at the same time as AF. There needs to be a better range of adapters!

    I'll never understand the mentality of this type of poster. If I prefer one great camera over another great camera, then it's happy days... if someone prefers a different camera, it does not detract from my own happiness.

    I am not slating the guy. K-pop videos are just not my artistic bent. I know it is the Trump-era and people are a little sensitive about criticism just like him. You can't seem to critique the work of someone these days without it coming across as you hating the living daylights of the person who made it. I certainly don't hate.
    I just like to think objectively, that something like this from me, aimed at 800,000 camera users, would have been more useful and Blackmagic would have sold more units. But what the fuck do I know?
    Maybe it needs more arses?

    Yeah it seems whenever there is a bump in TV resolution, there’s a bump in consumer/prosumer video camera resolution... maybe Samsung will be releasing a new camera.

    Make it 40... to me this camera doesn’t even exist. 
    Eventually we’ll have footage from John Brawley or Frank Glencairn or Noam Kroll and the footage will look amazing. More people will love it but a few will find something wrong with it...
    Eventually card info will be released, and more people will complain.
    Eventually AF tests will show up comparing this camera to the PDAF of the a6500 and more people will complain.
    Eventually low light tests will show up comparing this camera with the GH5s or the a7sii and more people will complain.
    At the end, when it’s released, a bunch of people will complain because they hate that they have to use an IR Cut filter and they will complain that they only get 45-60 minutes of battery life and that they wish it had IBIS...
    And eventually the usual suspects will be the only people that have the camera and the footage will be absolutely gorgeous.
    The End.

    Stathman reacted to BTM_Pix in My LUMIX Hardware Controller Is Complete   
    As someone less than politely pointed out on the other thread, I appear to have been a bit of a lazy arse in the almost 12 months since I tripped over and found the Cinelike d thing.
    You may recall it happened because I was researching making a hardware controller and after several iterations, here it finally is.

    And yes, it does look rather like a calculator doesn't it?
    The different iterations (including an Android app at one point!) have been in pursuit of making something small, standalone, self powered, fast connecting, push buttons and with an integrated screen at a lowish cost and, well, here we are.
    Here is the finished spec and features :
    Compatible with all Panasonic Lumix cameras that can be controlled by wifi Integrated USB rechargeable battery Full colour screen 20 keys with 3 bank switch keys giving 60 direct switch operations of functions Control of Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed, White Balance, Colour Profile, Contrast, Saturation, Sharpness and Noise Reduction. Automatic unlocking of Cinelike D and Cinelike V on GX80/85, LX10/15 and TZ10 Control of manual focus in fine and coarse steps  Control of One Shot AF Control of Record Stop/Start Store and Recall 8 focus points 4 selectable transition speeds between focus points Store and Recall 8 setup presets (each consisting of Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed, White Balance, Colour Profile, Contrast, Saturation, Sharpness and Noise Reduction) Presets are stored in non-volatile memory so are available in any session. Boot time to camera connection and control under 2 seconds. Wifi control range tested to 20m. Optional accessories :
    Interface module to support Nintendo Nunchuck controller for manual focus control (native lenses and adapted lenses with smart adapters) and zoom (integrated lens cameras and power zoom lenses only) Wireless interface module to sync remote record and stop on supported Tascam, Zoom and SoundDevices audio recorders.  The controller fits a regular cheap cellphone to threaded adapter holder so as well as being used handheld it can be mounted to anything you have a need for with the right attachment so could be on a cage or a gimbal or whatever.

    I'm going to be doing some more testing of it in anger in the next couple of weeks and I'll put up a video of it in action then.
    So, I have been a bit less lazy than first imagined
    By the by, the controller has both wifi and bluetooth so it begs the question would anyone be interested in a version of it for the Pocket 4K ??
