yes seems a lot faster and more accurate than the Canon 750d Iv'e also got...haven't tested it thoroughly but so far am pleasantly surprised

Does a Canon 750D have DPAF?? That would be a surprising result compared to the GH5 if it does.

? the af works superfast for stills

Well l never used my Sony A7R for video, and the A7 I did a few times. I am talking I guess, mostly with Photo AF still photography. So YMMV if you have tried it mostly for video. I don't see how it would be much, to any didfferent, stills or video?

So you are saying the GH5 works great for stills on AF?? if true, how could it suck that bad on video? AF is AF is AF.

What do you think about the original Red One MX?? I have had a chance to buy one for awhile, I can buy the body for less than 2000 dollars. He never uses it. But he wants way to much for the whole kit. He has a TON of stuff in the kit, but half I would never need, and I can't afford that much money at one time anyways.

I have been thinking of getting just the body, and a Bomb, a power supply, and go from there little bits at a time. But I don't know, maybe their time is over with. I know they have pretty damn good DR in them, and some people think they look better than the Epic MX?? Have you worked with them before? I am sure you have.

I guess it has more to do with me being able to say I own a "Red" than any logical thing LoL. I am more of a tripod guy anyways, so the weight of the damn thing is not that big of a deal to me. I think it may actually be a benefit on a tripod. It would be just for Hobby stuff. Not making money with, I, think? LoL

Wow if it makes me 10 years younger Whoopee, Sign Me Up!!

Absolutely.  It's so weird, of all things in the enthusiast/prosumer/motion picture world, that auto-focus is actually such a seemingly big issue to people all of a sudden.  

It's an embarrassment of riches across all brands and somehow AF is a deal breaker?  Still not at all sure why folks aren't just okay with manually focusing their lenses like actual real-life camera operators that want to, you know, completely control capturing their images.

I suppose it's all part of the 21st century digital algorithm world.  Trust the machine to do the tricky work for us:  Spell check our grammar, remember that one actor that played that one part in that one movie, tell us all the cool stuff we need to buy, remember how to drive home, and focus our lenses.

F all that.  This new fangled dangled nonsense is getting my dander up, you damn whippersnappers.  The world needs more analog.  You can "pry my manual lenses from my cold dead hands!"  How about that?  I'm complaining about the complainers!

That said, I can see why AF handy, but I can't understand why anyone would trust it.  At least when focusing manually your gonna get a consistent result.

Yeah but not Everybody just uses a GH5 for Video only. Hell it does take Photographs doesn't it LoL. Would be nice to be able to shoot your cat, dogs, kids, wife, eh I guess with AF working!

I do a decent amount of Birding Photography and Video with Birds, and I can tell you I sure as hell am not going to MF with birds in flight too easy. Not at my age. They move around a lot even at a Zoo. Now if they are sitting in a tree, sure MF.

For 2000 bucks the AF had Better work, and work damn well. I can understand why people are pissed! There is no reason in 2017, with a camera this expensive, AF ought to suck. They ought to stop production until they get it fixed. This could be a disaster for Panasonic. We are not he only people in the world that by GH5 cameras.

Heck I use AF a times on my AF100A. My 14-140mm 3.5-5.6 II works pretty good at AF in high contrast situations. It is stupid not to use a tool that woks pretty well in certain circumstances.

I never owned a GH4, and don't have a GH5, but with the Sony A7's I have had, now they were easy and fast as heck to MF with, way better than any Panasonic, Olympus I have owned did or do.

I feel they oversharpened the 5d iii footage. The sharpness looks digital. But thats just personal.

But the 5d iii is a beast!

Hmm I thought the compairsion was done with a 5D mkIV to the C300? I know the way it is written is kind of goofy looking at the Top.  Magic Lantern 5d mlv, I didn't think there Was a ML for a 5D mk IV?? I am not sure now what the hell camera it is LoL.

I think you have to be right that it is a mkIII.

I am sure the Alexa 65 is a lot more of a polished product. Arri does not just jump into anything! They have a Long track record, and it has always been quality before quantity. The Germans seem to just take stuff a Lot more serious than others do. They have been around the block a few times.

Shame they have such a high entry price for their products. I know you pay out the nose for quality, but it does seem a bit steep to me in this day and age. Though I don't imagine they sell as many as one would think to re coop their R&D costs.

Interesting fact on Wiki,

Controversy

In 2011, it was alleged that Michael Bravin, an executive of the US-based subsidiary Arri Inc., had unlawfully accessed RED's CEO Jim Jannard's email account. A suit was brought before a US court and in September 2011, Bravin entered a guilty plea.[48][49] Arri Inc. denied knowledge or gains from Bravin's actions,[50] and a separate lawsuit against the company was dropped as a result of an out-of-court settlement.[51]

5D Mark iii 3k raw > C300

That is a crazy good difference going to the 5D. Lot more sharpness, but still retaining the Canon look. That is a hell of a good combination.

The Panavision DXL is basically a re-housed Red Weapon 8k, and their new "70mm" lenses in fact cover just a bit larger than FF/Vistavision.  A few years ago they were developing a larger format camera with a 48x20.25mm sensor (52mm diagonal) along with a separate set of lenses to go with it, but issues associated with the custom sensor doomed that project.

Wow who would of ever thunk. Sort of lost some, well a lot of respect for Panavision! Why don't they call the god damn thing Red EW, for extra wide. Christ.

No wonder they don't have the balls to sell the F ing thing!

Well I use Resolve, so that could be the difference. I am not paying Adobe anything a month for shit! F them.

Shooting Veydra Primes on the GH5. Good article.

Well Sony said they wanted to be number 2, and I think they may be number 1 if they come out with some killer stuff this year. I hope already at NAB!

Nikon needs to source their sensors from someone other than Sony or start producing their own. 

I think it is Way too late for Nikon now. They better have the best products they have ever made this year, or they are done. You can't live on your past reputation like you use to in this day and age. Technology moves Way to fast for the old turds that are running Nikon now. It's a Shame it is looking like the end is near for them though. They just seem clueless as of late?

Quit showing me this stuff! I will have to go out a re buy a BMPCC! I am poor.

Well I don't have a GH5, but I can tell you from all the Olympus, Panasonic cameras I have owned and it probably total close to 10 of them, AF-C sucked on all of them. Now AF-S was pretty good on all of them. That has been my experience. YMMV. My Olympus EM1 was hands down the best focusing m4/3 camera I ever owned. It was damn good. But not great at AF-C.

Premiere CC 2017. With CUDA-support enabled so the GPU does lots of work in both real time and exporting.

Yes you are right. GPU's now do most of the "heavy lifting" as they say now in this day and age. They have a CRAZY amount of cores in them, compared to a CPU. It pays to get the best GPU with the most GB on it you can afford with Video Editing. The CPU can be a lesser model and still not be as noticeable as a better GPU can.

Seems a frigo! (Portuguese word for fridge :-)

Is that a Canon Plotter? LOL

Is it the most powerful solution these days or any other suggestion?

Gracias amigo!

No that is my Canon 16x19 photo printer. The Pro 100, they have the Pro 1000 out now to replace it. And no what I suggested was basically Last years most powerful, or close to it. A New Intel top of the line CPU, the i7 7700 cost around 350 Dollars. The top end MSI 1080 TI  8gb Video card is around, gulp 550 Dollars. There even is one that has 11gb on it. They cost 750 to 800 Dollars. Not sure that extra is really needed unless you make a living being a Colorist, Grader. The 1070, heck even the 1060 will probably be all you really need, if you don't make high end stuff all the time.

And like I said above, you really only need 16gb of memory for Video stuff. But the extra 16gb or more is really not that expensive in this day and age. But you will not see much gain with more like you would if you were gaming.

    não há de quê

Well I went to Vimeo and I can see he edited all of it looks like. I thought the begining was a little too light, bright, overexposed, whatever you want to call it. But it was his grade not mine. SO he is happy and I am not.  But I did like it overall.

Well I must admit I had to go to the old innerweb to remember what the Hell was a "Atomos Power Station". First product I ever seen that has no specs to offer on it's website! Interesting. I guess you are Suppose to guess how much more time you have with it for the amazing low price of??

This person contacted blackmagic about resolve not supporting gh5 10bit files and got this reply:

"You are correct, the 10 bit files recorded by the GH5 are not supported in the free release of Resolve.
As such you would require the Studio release in order to be able to import and work with these files.
It is worth noting that this is NOT a BUG IN THE APPLICATION.
I will mark this ticket as a feature request for the attention of the development team.
I cannot comment on the possibility of future features or give a timescale for the development of such features or updates.
In the mean time I would RECOMMEND TRANSCODING your files to a supported format such as ProRes or DNxHD."
(Technical Support of Blackmagic Design).

God I love railroad tracks! They looked awesome in the last part of the video. But Was that a Log or the final grade?? I know you didn't shoot it.

And I am not surprised about the Free Resolve. They only do updates on it every year or so compared to the Real one you buy! But it is what I use, So...glad I didn't buy a GH5 then! Hell, I might to have...had...to...buy...a...Apple!! Jesus, I felt almost ill for a second or two! You know a Resolve Dongle and a Apple Dongle, sort of sounds well, obscene!

I find it compelling because of my personal experiences.  I mean, my main gig throughout most of my career (and still if I'm being honest) was mid-budget corporate stuff.  So I did a bunch of things with decent gear, looked clean and slick, but was boring as heck.

 

And boring as heck Does pay the bills. So goes society, on average, pretty boring, hence the correlation!    Welcome to the work force. Hell it only last for years, and years, and years.
