Autofocus!

All I want to know is if the presentation has finished yet?

It is the S5ii as far as I’m aware.
I’ve pulled this from a demo of the new functionality and shows switchable contrast and phase detect in the UI.

Yeah I think it will become clearer what BM’s intentions actually are for the 12K when they are doing demos and interviews at the show itself.

Mmm…In terms of AF, it was only actually stated to be coming for the Cine 6K and then by extension, when that firmware is out of beta, for the PYXIS 6K.
I’m wondering if a misguided conclusion has been leapt to here by me that it will come to the PYXIS 12K.
The other two share the same Sony sensor and it’s one we know to have PDAF capabilities because it’s used in a number of other cameras.
The 12K sensor though is all their own work so I don’t know if it actually does?
 

Exactly, the worst part of the P4K is the body, one of the best parts of the OG is the body. With a different comparison, I saw a video today of the BMMCC6K held up next to the Pyxis and I couldn't believe how big the FF 6K is... it looks bigger than a 1DX and other than form factor, not much smaller than the Pyxis. The Pyxis seems like the obvious choice between the two.
I sure do, that's one thing I do know.
Ha, I know that even more.
I feel like there are so many good cameras out now that you almost can't go wrong, but like always, the best camera is right around the corner and we're just in a betweener stage.
Maybe you just need the Z mount Komodo X... problem solved.
Canon should just buy BM, and then I can hate them both together. 

It’s going to be like prohibition all over again.
The new B&H Photo branch will be a speakeasy selling smuggled camera bodies from Canada.
 

Autofocus!

If it doesn’t burst into flames or require a portable power station, that PYXIS 12K is going to be a huge winner for them.
The fact that they will finally have AF is the icing on the cake.
 

Autofocus!

Yes.
I’ve only used it as a studio camera with an ATEM so all I can say is that with a P4K on another ATEM channel they look the same !
I find comparisons between the OG and new Pockets a bit moot as you can get them close enough for jazz visually so at that point it’s all about the rest of the deal.
The new Pocket trounces the OG in every metric bar form factor.
Depending on what you’re doing with a camera on any given day, the form factor of the OG can make all of the rest of the Pocket goodies irrelevant.
The Komodo gave pause for thought over the PYXIS and the new PYXIS has given pause over the Komodo.
You know how that goes.
The bank balance has given pause over all of them though 😂
It remains to be seen what Nikon do as well with a new Cine line too.
The Z mount is a great leveller for me because I can put anything on it.
L mount is OK but the Z mount smokes it really when you’ve hoarded as many lenses in different mounts as I have.

Yes, it’s full control.
I mean it’s not uber cheap but it’s a very convenient non flappy HDMI connected monitor.
For anything outside the studio the Micro 4K is a bit of a bust to be honest but now it’s not.
For people mad enough to also buy that PYXIS 12K it does double duty.
Not that I’m mad enough to buy the new PYXIS 12K of course….

Pyxis 12K looks really nice.  Better than expected.  I thought it'd have the same 60p limitations of the UC12K when not powered by 26v, but I think he said 8K open gate was available at up to like 75fps.
Also, has the S35 9K mode that I feel doesn't get enough attention.  I don't think Petty even mentioned it.
Priced at $5k which is a bit painful.  Still has a stupid fixed 4" screen on the left side of the body.  Once they hit the used market, I will probably trade in my E2-S2G for one.

Being a diva, I’m still annoyed about the Bluetooth not being switched on !
I’m going to get that monitor ASAP.

Here we are in hour three then and no end in sight.
Grant will have to be helped off stage like James Brown by the time this is over.
 

 
 

I think they could’ve shaved 15 minutes off by having shorter product names.
We will definitely be cruising into hour two with the demo of this new ATEM.
 

All the PYXIS anticipants sitting through the initial hour long broadcast products part of the presentation like this.

Broadcast is his true love so he’s moved it up to take precedence in recent launches.
For anyone waiting for the cameras it’s like having to sit through ninety minutes of Sting doing his tantric lute albums before he throws everyone a bone with a Police medley in the encore.

“Does one want mushy peas with that?”
