That 28-70 is just so versatile for it's size. I really want to shoot with primes, but similar to you it seems, the flexibility of that zoom is just too good to ignore most times. I keep the 20-60 close by if I need to go wider, but I've been eyeing that 18mm.

Lol reading comprehension was not my strong suit today

Nikon D700. Rich, vibrant colors and contrast straight out of camera and the best metering system ever made. The shutter sound is the voice of angels.

I'm seeing folks on other forums say in VLOG it's 640/5000

Wide range of reports from folks in wedding videography forums especially. The overheating issue varies camera body to camera body and isn't always predictable. Not a good combination for wedding shooters. I don't shoot weddings anymore personally, but my gear needs closely align with wedding needs. Most importantly, I need to know I can hit record and walk away without fear of problems.

Nope and I returned it. Panasonic's reliability has long been a reason I use them. The reports of overheating made this camera DOA for me. Maybe they'll sort it out in the future and I'll pick up a used one.

B&H has adjusted the price back to the original $4995.

Wow It looks like every product on their site has a new, higher price in the U.S. Even Resolve! I wonder if folks that preordered already will have their price honored. B&H is still showing the original price.

Had to listen to the livestream while on the road for work. Man oh man does Grant love his broadcast stuff. I drove my full nearly two hour trip before he even hinted at cameras lol. Anyways, the Pyxis 12K is super exciting to me. It makes sense that its price is exactly halfway between the Pyxis 6K and Cine 12K…. But $4500 USD would have felt worlds better to me haha.

That 12K is glorious. If this new Pyxis is the right price, it will sell like CRAZY

My S1Rii is currently sitting in an unopened shipping box in the corner of my office. I'm waiting to see what NAB brings (if anything) from Panasonic before opening it. I'll find it a bit odd if Panasonic does announce another camera so close to the release of this one, but the rumor sites seem pretty confident that something is coming.

Yeah it's looking like a crashcam mini box camera. I saw somewhere that Sony made some tiny cameras for the F1 movie.

My latest fun-factor obsession is the Epson R-D1. It's the closet thing to a film-like shooting experience you can get on digital. As far as I know, it is the only digital camera in which you must cock the shutter manually... for sure it is the only digital rangefinder in which you must do so. Seiko made the automotive inspired gauges at the top, which are very fun. To me, it's the full, unapologetic ode to film cameras that Fuji wishes it could do. It's feeling very old at the moment though at 6MP and the images themselves aren't particularly spectacular on their own SOOC.

It's a pretty good infrared camera if you're into that. I dust mine off every few years for it.

Current setup for work: Panasonic S5iix, S5ii, S1H, Osmo Pocket 3, and an S1Rii once it's out. I'll downsize a bit once I have it. I've always liked having two cameras that perfectly match and then one or two more that can easily match for bigger shoots. Although, it's much easier to match any modern camera than in years past. The vast majority of my shoots are just one or two cameras: two for interviews, one for b-roll. For personal stuff: iPhone 15 Pro. Occasionally I'll use one of my Panny's for this. I've gotten hugely into film again lately. My collection has kinda exploded in short order. Nikon F100, Nikon FE2, Leica M6, Voigtlander Bessa R2, and I just added a Fuji GW690iii. Shooting film has really reignited a dormant part of my creative brain. The limitations of not having the capacity of 3000 photos on an SD card or being able to preview and immediately review my photos has been such a great exercise for my creativity.
