Do you think there will be a Mac Pro update finally this year, or are they dropping it? As mentioned above, the iMac is faster for a lot of stuff.

If you decide to go with the Mac, you're better with a proper SSD/flash drive vs the hybrid Fusion Drive, IMO.

Actually it was pretty usable, go take a look at the shootout I did with 1DX II and 1DC.

 

What's the link for this?

How long do you guys give a winning bidder to pay on ebay before canceling/sending out a second chance offer? Having the problem now with an asshole who hasn't paid within a couple days of winning.

That's amazing. Some epic grading too.

The 5 axis gives more of a weighty shoulder camera feel than a general optical stabilised lens seems to

How is he getting such shallow DOF with that 12mm f2??

He said in the vimeo comments he used a Zeiss cine lens for the close ups. :D

What's the quality of the 1080 60p like with the 1DC compared to the GH4/A7S 60p? Good enough for slow mo/twixtoring?

Let's look at the previous track record.... 

Canon 1DX comes out. 

Then a few months later the 1DC comes out. 

Fast forward to now. 

1DX mkII comes out. 

A few months later.... 1DC mkII comes out? 

That's my educated guess. We'll see. 

Hopefully not using motion JPEGs! 

I've definitely noticed it too. It's worse in 4k than HD.

I own one still, used to have three.

 

here's some things I shot on it:

 

 

 

It's a really great camera, has built in XLRs, I really like slog1 and sgamut - and man for the price, it's a great deal.

Is it better than the canon 1dx which is probably now cheaper at the same price?

Or the blackmagic MCC or pocket?

 

 

 

 

 

 

From what you posted I prefer it to what I've seen from the 1dx/1dc and bmpcc/bmmcc, but hard to know how muchof that is just your mad skillz.

Given how relatively cheap this formerly $20k camera can be had on ebay in 2016, what are your thoughts on it?

How is the rolling shutter/judder with the 1DC doing that kind of handheld-ish work?

The reply in this Facebook chat seems to be from someone who knows about Gh4 and its cinematics limits (before the anamorphic mode and Vlog) vs the great of ML raw of the 550D.

 

Dunno, GH4 isn't as bad as he's suggesting there. (interlaced video look?...)

Your GH4 is not faulty. I'm having the same issue with mine. Just shot a video at night, and it's full of noise, I was shooting with ISO 400. IMO it's the downside of the MFT sensor, but I noticed that grading helps to smooth this noise out.

Here are some snapshots from my footages (straight from the camera).  The second one was shot in 4K, the first and last one in 1080p 200mBit/s

Sorry to be off topic. Just curious why you shot the first/last in HD instead of 4K? Is it becaue 4K can be unflattering (esp to females) so close?

I've been consdering buying used mk3 for the same reasons as you, so I'm glad you started this thread. I'm wondering as squig suggested if it's worth waiting 'til the announcement/release of the mk4 since that is guarenteed to lower the used price a bit...

The Voigt 17.5 and 42.5 are incredible. Want to try the 10.5 despite bad reviews...

Panasonic Jpegs were not as good in my opinion and the raw files need work in Lightroom which by default makes them quite dull...

 

 

JPG with the GH4 are horrible. The RAW are really good, though. Comparable to my 7D2 at least.

Would it be possible for RAW burst mode to be increased to 24fps from 11? Even if only for a few seconds it could prove interesting in certain situations.
