No worries. Let's hope his translator translated the plug. You never know how much gets through
The colour science should be interesting on this one especially when it gets the 10bit update.
Immediately apparent it beats Sony!

Nice piece.
Oh and the cheque is in the post for this plug

Mind you, I hope the notes he was taking were along the lines of "lets track this maverick down and license it" rather than "lets track this cheeky bastard down and sue him" !

Seems there are probably enough of us on here with the same idea who live in enough different countries to form our own internal AirBnB to pull it off with.
If we all agreed to a minimum standard of tripod and lights etc being left in each of our houses then we would all be able to travel light as well !

The S1R is very, very similar to the Leica SL in dimensions and weight (**cough** what a shocker **cough**) so people can do a fairly accurate comparison already on camerasize.com
Here it is against the GH5....

It is a lot heavier of course but some heft, as you say, is no bad thing when it comes to balance especially as this being a full frame camera it will invariably be having more substantial lens lumps put on it.
I think one of the factors regarding the weight that is less of an influencing issue for people than it was a couple of years ago is that gimbals can take much bigger payloads now.

For long-time GH1 to GH5 shooters like myself, loyal from the beginning, at a time everyone else was shooting Canon, the S1 is a milestone. I have a bit of an emotional attachment to it already, being the first Panasonic full frame camera. It is not my first L-mount camera though. I’ve been shooting with the Leica SL for a few years now and it is still the most clean, ergonomic, minimalist full frame mirrorless body. It cannot, however, match the sheer size of the feature-set on the £2000 Panasonic S1.

Because of the SL connection, there are used lenses out there you can buy right now that will work with it but you'd have to be quite keen to buy them  

Thats actually one of the cheaper prices I've yet seen for that particular lens to be honest so maybe this launch is already having an effect !
Again because of the SL connection, smart adapters do exist to buy today from Novoflex who produce adapters with AF from EF and Nikon to the L mount which are about £350-400.
The Nikon one has a major caveat though in that it will only work with the newer lenses with electronic diaphragm control.
This is an area where you would hope that Sigma will be able to step in with an L version of their MC11 adapter for EF at least which should be considerably cheaper.
I doubt they will be doing anyone that favour for a while though as they'd sooner you buy their new lenses for it !
For everything manual, the M mount adapter obviously gives you the ability to put Leica M lenses on it (not just the expensive stuff but cheap fast full frame Voigtlanders and 7Artisans) but also acts as a gateway mount to put pretty much all other lens types on via adapters.
The L mount was obviously very niche up until now as it was a Leica only thing but I expect to see a lot more of the cheaper convertor manufacturers bringing out direct mount conversions so that you don't have to stack adapters like M>EF>R to get Leica R lenses on it etc 
 

Compared to the Sennheiser UHF stuff the Sarmonics are way cheaper but its more or less the same against this Sennheiser 2.4gHz system is what I was referring to.
The XSW-D ENG kit has the lav and transmitter, the XLR transmitter and one receiver. Adding an additional receiver brings the whole kit up to around £400 which is the same amount to have the equivalent twin channel Saramonic UHF setup.
I think for an awful lot of people with only a £400 budget for a new wireless setup for a DSLR etc this Sennheiser 2.4gHz system is going to be by far the better choice.
I've got a Saramonic system and, yeah, well...its OK but I w ul  t w n o r ly on  t fo  pa d w rk
Apologies for the dropouts there

They have diversified from tinned vegetables to tinned fruit a few times with some right lemons.

Yes, a Leica SL.
If only to know if the AF actually works on mine because I've never been able to bring myself to lay down the cash for Leica's ones !

I think the Wiral LITE wire rig is something that is bringing interesting possibilities to a consumer level.
It is particularly well suited to having something like an Osmo attached to it so you can articulate the camera remotely while it is running and also offers another dimension to 360 cameras.
With an Osmo Pocket you have a fully remote controlled articulated 4K stabilised wire cam for €600.
 
A lot of the videos of it (like that one) focus on sports usage of it but there are a number of other examples that show its possibilities outside of that context.
 

I'm intrigued by this because anything involving Berlusconi and the Italian courts is usually, erm, "interesting"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trials_and_allegations_involving_Silvio_Berlusconi
I'm particularly surprised by how quickly the Vimeo case got ruled upon considering how many legal cases involving him in the Italian courts have unusually lengthy durations, in many cases long enough for the statute of limitations to run out or for the law to be changed by a government that he was leading at the time.
When Mediaset (the parent company) sued YouTube for very similar violations to Vimeo in 2008, it took seven years to be resolved.
https://tbivision.com/2015/10/22/mediaset-google-resolve-youtube-row/
That resolution included Mediaset having official content on YouTube so that might also inform what is going on in terms of going after Vimeo.
Looking at who, apart from Berlusconi, owns Mediaset, 30% of it is owned by Vivendi who also happen to own 90% of DailyMotion.
So both YouTube and DailyMotion by virtue of their relationships with two key owners of Mediaset would certainly benefit from a competitive streaming platform like Vimeo (and by extension Livestream who it now owns) having their wings clipped like this.
Having said that, I'm not sure it is anything as united and cohesive as that as, of course, Silvio being Silvio, he is currently trying to to sue the balls of Vivendi as well !

I think they'll keep the X-Pro line as they are pretty much in a field of one with that type of camera and have such an established and enthusiastic user base for it that they can rely on to buy the next one in the cycle.
Even for new users they'll see the X-Pro as a gateway drug to the rangefinder version of the GFX so I'd be surprised if there wasn't at least an X-Pro3.
I think the XT and XH line will definitely have to come together sooner rather than later purely because of the fact that cameras like the Z6 are offering the best of both of them (and more) in full frame.
I don't think they necessarily have to go full frame (Fuji are definitely positioning themselves that medium format is the better step up) but they do need to have the same features at a price that reflects the perception of full frame always being 'better'.
The X-H2 will have to have the video spec of the X-T3 with IBIS for about £1500 to make any sense as a differentiator to the X-T3 (£1300) and as a better value against the Z6 (£2000).
After that, I think they should merge them for the X-T4 and if they want to make something video centric then they should go the whole hog and do it in a cinema camera/camcorder form factor.

It's complete and has been for a few weeks but it is actually being held up from release for Brexit related reasons.
I shit you not.
I'm expecting it to be another two weeks.

There is no Brexit - just Exit!

I'm going to have a proper look at these at the BVE show in a few weeks.
On the basis that Sennheiser won't have invented their own battery, I think it is highly, highly likely that it uses one of the two battery types that I put on the previous page.
Looking at some higher res images, I can see the join in the case where it can be opened so, erm,well,you know, maybe I will be able to be to give a more definitive answer to a battery swap....
