 9.44 million dots EVF. with all-pixel readout 9.6K oversampling (at full size) without pixel addition.

Edited shot from the Xperia Pro-1.  I think it holds up pretty well for a phone. Sure it is not a Canon 1DC but it sure as hell weighs a lot less I can tell you that.

They are making it pretty hard to do Drones in this country anymore. By the time I learned how to fly one they would probably be outlawed!

Yeah, the MX was a pretty big improvement overall. I really like the output from them.

What is that Panavision monitor???

I can’t seem to find any information online.

I think I found your answer. go to 8:00.

Probably drinking too much of that strong Berlin beer.

The PK4 Has a dual gain sensor. Says so right on the BM site. Ursa G2 does also.

I would have bought a Komoto if it was close to the same price, but there are some crazy deals on the older stuff to be had.

I'm pretty sure all the older BM cameras including the Ursa have a dual gain sensor.

You are correct. All the Fairchild ones were, and even the PK4 is also.

But I do read and respect your posts, so continue as usual please.

It doesn't take me 4 paragraphs to get a simple point across.

Not exactly sure why you're commenting this over and over again though?  I'm not in the anamorphic lens threads saying how I'll never buy an anamorphic lens - it wouldn't accomplish anything.

Me talking about the same thing over and over again, coming from you you can't be serious! They won't for the average person, what the hell you even going to view it on? You going to watch it on half your TV screen?

You can buy FF cameras now for less than m4/3. They have lost all their advantages of a cheaper price. Very few people buy big ass lenses in this day and age, most just buy a basic zoom, maybe a 50mm and that is it anymore so small cheap lenses not really an edge anymore, and there are Very few people that shoot Anamorphic, mainly because of the crazy price point.

And now the top M4/3 are as big or bigger size and weight wise as FF stuff. Why would an average buyer even consider one now. Not counting worse low light, not many AF fast lenses, low MP count and still less DOF, I know people will say they are really the same, bull shit. There is a reason people shoot MF, and People shoot an 8x10 over a 4x5, etc., better DOF.

I will give you credit but I am still never going to buy a M4/3 camera again in my life.

There are still advantages to M43, and it does have a dedicated user base. As much as I like my new S5, I really appreciate how compact my M43 kit is even more. I think we'll continue to see a slowdown in releases compared to 2014-2017, but I think we'll still see more M43 cameras down the road. 

My Sony A7s II is smaller than my GH5 was by a mile. And their better lenses hardly weigh anything and are amazingly small. Sure, if you want a 600mm lens a M4/3 is smaller, but it will be a slower lens to boot and cost close to the same money.

Maybe it's better to buy a second hand GH5 II now and wait till this camera is mature. Guess that will still take some years...

I think the GH6 may be the last M4/3 camera Panasonic makes. And I don't see the Olympus 1 being a runaway hit for the masses. Could be the end for them. You can buy FF cameras cheaper than them right now.

Yeah, I did buy it. This is unedited photos from it. They look almost exactually like I seen it from my own eyes. The two on the bottom are from my Canon 1DC. I am amazed how realistic the photos and videos are on the Xperia. 

Wow that green stuff is nasty! The footage breaks really hard.

I heard that the GH6 is only getting 1 hour or less on a battery. Not good, going the wrong way.

I think that looks like a Smartphone case to me??

Where I live here in Ohio all the big city TV stations use small camcorders, mostly Sony ones, and some of the reporters are using a smartphone for quick updates. So the higher end 4 to 7 thousand dollar camcorders are no slouch these days.

Trouble with the EF-RF ND option is you have to use EF lenses and they are huge compared to mirrorless lenses. Not really into a 5 pound lens anymore. 

Sony is really good at making small light mirrorless lenses. My EF 24-105mm Canon seems twice as heavy as my FE 24-105mm Sony. On my 1DC it is stupid heavy total weight wise.

Well, I will concede that a person that is 7 foot tall probably should NOT use a shoulder mounted camcorder!
