Well, here is a picture of the beast rig.
 

First picture taken with the 300mm. Exciting isn't it. That thing is about half a block away lol.

Snort 🙊

Plus classleading lowlight quality without codec mush unlike the A7S3 plus 10bit in 422 full width of its FF sized sensor in all frame rates. Very fast sensor readout. @webrunner5

The FS6 with the ability to set the electronic ND filter on auto is a total game changer for run n gun I think.

Been playing around with some FX6 footage, gotta say wow I'm very impressed. Maybe not as clean shadows or as organic looking as C70's DGO sensor but overall just excellent detailed IQ with a modern look that can be "mojo'd up" when pairing with vintage lens & grade:
Getting Venice vibes from this cam's IQ. 
Biggest/Only con for me is no 4K S35 mode. 

It is because of YouTubers reviewing the F3 (and probably because of threads like this one as well....).
Ever since this video came out a couple of years ago then prices have never been the same for the F3 😕 

Yes, it was!
GH5 ran to 1h 44m 56s! (4k 60 8bit 420)
So why are people, myself included, moaning about GH6 battery life? Perhaps the GH6 battery eats battery faster when not recording? I might try a test where both are switched on but not recording and see when each one dies.
That's kind of a drag, though, as I'd have to sit there and watch them... unless I had a third camera that can record forever, which I don't 😂
BTW am I right in saying that on the GH5 you can't use V-Log view assist during playback? As in, it will always be in log? If so, that's another thing I like about the GH6: you can show the client the shot you just took and not have to say "It looks all grey and washed out now, but I'll fix that in the final video, don't worry!"
 

@webrunner5 Also by the results from your link, you would still have the R7 right up there with the Sony A6500 which sports one of the best APSC sensor for dynamic range. Add 10bit 422 and a higher 32MPixel count and it´s a pretty good sensor by this data. Fun fact, results from the website you posted, GH5MK2 betters both sensors from ISO 125 on.
How it really turns out to be in pratical use, that we will see. Also rolling shutter and other great aspects of the cultivated image.:)
I remember the Red Dragon test on DXOmark. Was really hard to believe the results. No one would ever believe these test results in the world of cinematography afaik.

Yeah, Cleff has been doing tests on DPR for a Long time. I find his stuff more accurate in real life than DXO's. Cine D's DR test of video cameras are way more accurate than what the company's spew out.  Like Red's 20 stops bullshit.

Not quite the same, but rather than switch my recently acquired 14” M1 MacBook Pro for what I should have bought, the MacStudio (or whatever it is called), I have ordered the parts to build myself a super dooper fast external SSD which I can not only download to, but edit off.
I don’t really like messing with techy things and prefer plug n’ play but Mr Gordon Laing had a good video on the subject.
And has saved me 1000+ euros as a result.

Just so we're all on the page: I was testing battery life, not overheating. Of course, the figure doesn't mean anything until it's compared to something else. I'll try to run the same test on a GH5 to compare.
 
Not in Ireland lol! Hottest day of the year so far 😂
 

The patent is about as dumb as one that says you are not allowed to sing in the key of C. Just crazy stuff.

Not more than 25C

With the latest cameras being 10-bit with full log profiles, I think that's changing.  It used to be the case though.
That was my impression as well.

What was the ambient temp?

That's not bad at all. I was starting to think that it was getting OG BMPCC type of numbers with how much I've heard about the bad battery life. 

That is super clean video, the whites are white, the black print is black...eh well eh... 😵

I've just pressed record!

Yeah, but like I said above the cost alone for several really nice lenses is easily half the price of the camcorder. And are you even then going to have a 15x range on them? If you bought a Canon R5 and the kit lens you would be as much as this camcorder. 
Camcorders of this type now are the go to camera for all the newspaper, TV stations where I live. They only use the big ENG stuff for super special events, sports in a fixed position now. You could totally make a living with that camcorder.

DIYish for us noobs.:) I bet the Sigma looks realky cool with that setup. Or as Don aka webrunner would say, hotter than applepie. 😊

I've got a bunch of Samsung T5/T7 drives for the Fp and Pocket cameras and, as small as they are, they are still a bit cumbersome and in the case of the T5s I've had a couple fail on me.
This is not exactly a unique or challenging DIY project to make my own alternative to the T5/T7s but thought it might be useful for anyone looking for something similar that is both faster and, for my purposes, a bit more ergonomic.
Enter the Sabrent NVMe enclosure and the WD SN770 NVMe drive.

The Sabrent takes both SATA and NVME in sizes 2242/2260/2280 and is tool-free so you just pop it open and then insert the drive.


Once you've done that, simply snap the case shut again and you have a ready to go drive which, for me at least, is a far better form factor than a T5/T7 for mounting on a camera and is easily swappable in the field for another NVMe if you run out of space.

To be able to mount it to a camera, I decided that the most appropriate and versatile route would be via a standard 1/4" 20 thread so I designed and resin printed an adapter that will take a screw and which is then bonded to the bottom of the drive case.

With that in place it can now be mounted to the camera cage horizontally or in the case of the Pocket cameras, directly into the thread on the top of the camera.


For my own use, I much prefer mounting it in this orientation but, of course, with it now having the 1/4" 20 mount it can be mounted anywhere.
In terms of price, the 1tb drive and the housing came to around €125 so it is certainly very competitively prices compared to the Samsungs.
Oh and there is the small matter of the quoted write speed being 5,150MB/s which makes it significantly faster than even the gen2 T7's speed of 1,000 MB/s.
In terms of actual real world performance, I shot all day with it on the P4K earlier in the week at 5:1 BRAW and it didn't miss a beat.
As I say, not unique, not challenging and not for everyone but it fills a need for me.
Some better cable/cable management required now though.

No expert on the subject but from what I have seen most cameras are worse in video than photo DR wise. You have to figure most photo stuff is 12, 14, even 16bit raw. So that gives it an edge over video. Now maybe in HDR video but that has to be in 10bit a least.
