  1. Thanks

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I live on the Detroit River... still plenty of Prohibition-era smuggling relics in this area- secret canals and tunnels and such. Maybe I should get a little dinghy and start making midnight runs for barrels full of bodies and lenses 😄

    By the by, that EF-S 18-135mm and PZ E-1 combo is a pretty good and cost effective used combo for anyone looking to do a roll your own Cinecorder solution.

    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.

    “We are taking Greenland and making Canada the 51st State” should’ve been enough to have him laughed out of town.

    The fact that he wasn’t means anything else he says or does will have a blind eye turned to it.
