If I'm honest I have no feelings about Diana as a person. At the time of her death I felt sorry for her kids (my mum died when I was 13). What us true is that all over the world "democratic" governments (quite often right wing but not always) are attacking real journalists and outlets whilst turning a blind eye to complete shite spouted by their favoured outlets (all in the name of free speech you know) and let arch manipulators like Murdoch off scott free. I wouldn't trust BJ as far as I could throw the fat, weasly shite. An example of why Britain is no longer seen as a sensible nor trustworthy country (not that it ever was).

Exactly, but 1500€ cheaper and able to film for hours on end/streaming without over heating. Like a 2000€ cheaper FX3, but with an EVF. I think there would be a market for that as with the economy as it is, a FX3 is a very expensive investment and living in a very hot country (Spain) I don't feel confortable trusting other Sony mirrorless cameras. Like real budget but quality cine/video cam. IMHO

We've been here before but a GH6 will need the following to cut it IMHO: Up to 4k 120 in 10 bit 422, no crop but with the GH5's ability to punch in without losing quality (GH5S doesn't have that and very handy when shooting events. Should be useable when already recording) Dual ISO with clean image upto 12800 More DR EVF like S1/SH (ideally with hinge like C100 mk2 and Bmpck6kpro) Top quality LCD Punch in to check focus when recording E-ND Good AF (if we have a great EVF and LCD plus punch in to check focus this is not so important) Make sure LCD doesn't block cables. Best IBIS Easy streaming set up Linear focus settings for lenses like S series Vlog Record in ProRes Raw prores internally/externally Admit it's a video camera first and foremost and treat it as such. A cost of 2500€ max A 25-60 f1.7 like the 10-25 but at 1300€ max. Maybe a 60-100 f2 as well. Lower the prices of these "video" lenses but sell more of them. Make it a compelling option because if it's not, I'm out.

So...same low light as GH5? A GH5S with IBIS and 4k 50p in 10bit would have been interesting. A GH5 remix just seems shite.

All the 6K stuff and 180p etc. I've just come to realise that if this were any other normal year ( no pandemic) I would have bought a A7Siii or FX3 and be done with it (even though I prefer Panasonic ergonomics and image). It's just easier working with other people who all seem to have Sony. In the past it was Canon when I had my C100. It's a shame. If the S5 had a good EVF I'd be really interested. I'm not sure I'm really that interested in waiting for better m43 and I have a fine set of lenses including the 10-25 and Voigts but I'm in the process of selling them.

My thoughts too. Either Sony or Panasonic L (S5 or S1) for me. I need 2 cameras from the same system which makes Sony very expensive. The A7iii is fine as a B cam and for photos but the "good" video cameras like the A7Siii, FX3 and A1 are very expensive (especially when you factor in lenses, cards etc). But my tired eyes like the AF! But my wallet and ears like the fact that I could use my XLR adaptor on the S line Pannys🤔 If the A7Siii cost 3000€ I'd buy it but 3900€ is a lot nevermind 4500€ for an FX3!

Panasonic could also do with getting a move on with their 1.8 primes as that could sway a lot of people.

A quick question (I can't remember if I asked before!), will the San Disk Extreme SDXC V30 170MB/s be fine for shooting with the S5? 4K 25p and 50p. I have recorded 4K 150M on the GH5 with them no probs. I'm thinking of renting a S5 for a wedding this Sunday.

I know this isn't the thread for it, but do you have a photo of the V-Mount with the S5?

Camera looks amazing. Is there a real difference in image quality/look over the S5? (Other than internal 6k). I mean, does 4K 25p and 50p 10bit look the same?

Shit, that sound bad. Sounds like my Samsung phone!😵

This is how I work. Unless you are doing really high end stuff nobody pays enough to grade everything and many times it's just not necessary.

Maybe it's a problem with the software, not the photo.

Very strange. Do you only notice it when cropped in? Are you looking at this on a computer or in camera?

Have you tried MF on it? How does the "linear" adjustment feel on the focus by wire lens? I'm wondering if you can set that and the throw on non native lenses.

Another question! Has anyone tested whether you can adjust the focus ring to "linear" as well as the throw angle on the new Sigma 28-70mm f2.8? How is the MF?

My eyesight is getting worse too! Have you tried a GH5? Would you say the focus peaking is the same on the S5, better or worse?

Exactly! On the GH5 I have the AE/AF Lock button set to back button focus and I use it to grab focus and then adjust. I always found it to be pretty accurate as I'm just asking it to nail focus once then I'll take over rather than relying on any continuos AF where it all seems to start going wrong or my 46 year old eyes to get that instant focus.

oh, and another thing! Is the lowlight, DR and sharpness more or less the same in the apsc mode or does it take a big hit?

A few questions about the S5! Does it have back button focus option? On my GH5 and GH5S I use this all the time. I have the camera on mf and hit back button focus to grab precise one area focus and adjust from there (when shooting video). Is that posible on the S5? As I shoot a lot of 50p (weddings/fashion shoots etc) I was wondering if the Sigma L Mount apsc lenses would work for a very wide lens (20-60 is 30-90 in apsc). Specifically the 16mm f1.4. I guess that is a 16mm in apsc? Would back button focus work with that lens? (maybe MrSMW knows?). Thanks!

Is the 4k 50p 10 bit FF or crop?

It's a 23mm? Not 20 or 24? Interesting. A cheap 20mm 1.8 would be great.

It's a lot to think about! I've just seen the S5 with the 20-60 is 2169€ here and there's a 300€ cash back. That's very tempting. After discounting tax and cash back we are talking 1600€! I'm the opposite to you and shoot mainly on the wide end (10-25 f1.7 hardly comes off my GH5). I also shoot a lot of 50p (weddings) and I'm not sure how that would work on a S5. I was thinking a 20-60 and the sigma 28-70 would do. maybe a 20 or 24 1.8 in the future (aprox 35mm with apsc). I have no problem shooting a whole wedding on a 35mm (video). Just don't see a reasonably priced lens that could do that.

sooo, any idea if or when a GH6 and "special lens" are going to be announced?
