A close relative illustrates user manuals for a high end audio equipment company. Not my cup of tea but it certainly qualifies as art.

C'mon now. No one is saying that they only should announce broadcast stuff at NAB. At the same time NAB is precisely when they should announce broadcast stuff. Right? They pretty clearly stated this would be a broadcast oriented announcement. Folks reading the tea leaves a different way is their own prerogative. I mean no one forced you to watch the full livestream lol.

To be fair it is a conference for broadcasters by name... But for real are we surprised? BMD is a much larger company than just consumer/prosumer/pro cine cameras. Everything is in the vertical integration for them – it's been that way for a long time. Hence the 2 hours of introducing a new product segment and then the oodles of support equipment necessary to make it work.

Chris and Jordan throwing Sigma Bf and Fuji X-Half under the bus

Same. But, if they added raw they'd change the whole ballgame for me. -
I interviewed a university professor recently that said that these AI companies don’t even understand how their own AI’s work. Unlike any other technology in history where all the work it took to create the tech means the creators have a complete understanding of how it works, he says AI is “alien tech” to its makers. Puts a new perspective on all these tech companies and the markets betting so big on AI… they have little idea what will happen. So glad the entire U.S. economy is propped up by it at the moment.

The phone arrived today as expected and I've had a few minutes to play around with the camera. I shot a short test scene using ProRes RAW and ProRes 422 in the Blackmagic app. Here's a quick look at the footage with just Resolve's Apple Log 2 CST applied. Very first observations: Open gate is only available in RAW or RAW HQ RAW can only recorded to an external drive. I have a great Magsafe SSD that I use for this. Sensor stabilization is not available in either raw mode Resolve is super sluggish with the raw files unlike ProRes RAW or BRAW files from my S1ii. I hope this gets optimized The normal raw controls are there and the footage is very flexible as you'd expect I used Resolve's built in Apple Log 2 CST for the test https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97PPh276M4o

I am; should be delivered tomorrow. Main reason is it's my normal upgrade cycle time. But, even if it was a year early for me I'd still be compelled to buy it. I've been using my phone for critical pick up shots for a while now and the addition of ProRes RAW makes it even more useful for me this way. The 200mm equivalent telephoto also will be great for casual concert and event photography so I'm pretty happy all around.

I've only used my S1ii with SD cards so far, but I haven't had any overheating issues at all shooting multiple hour+ interviews in open gate 6K24p.

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.

Blackmagic NAB 2025 Preview - 4th April 2025 4pm BST
MurtlandPhoto replied to BTM_Pix's topic in Cameras
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. -
Blackmagic NAB 2025 Preview - 4th April 2025 4pm BST
MurtlandPhoto replied to BTM_Pix's topic in Cameras
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.

What's Sony up to? (March 26th new camera teaser)
MurtlandPhoto replied to Andrew - EOSHD's topic in Cameras
Yeah it's looking like a crashcam mini box camera. I saw somewhere that Sony made some tiny cameras for the F1 movie.
