So 'Girl' was brilliant, a very sensitive story, that I'd highly recommend. Aside from the obvious main themes, much of the underlying plot were the same as in 'Beautiful Boy', essentially both films about a child struggling with something within them, ultimately leading to self destruction, meanwhile the father tries desperately to communicate with, comfort and understand the inner-struggle. In my opinion, both movies were about the child, but the father was the main character. I'm not sure if it's the screen I saw it on, which may have given the illusion, but it looks like 'Girl' was shot in a 4:3 format. Quoting myself to show the relevance here. I also saw Audiard's new movie 'The Sisters Brothers', his first English language movie. It was a very funny, quirky script and definitely worth checking out whether you like Westerns or not. The cast was just superb, and John C. Reilly surprised me a lot. It's not on par with the other films I've mentioned, and is much more easy going. To bring this thread full circle, tomorrow morning I'll be seeing 'Roma', and I'm pumped. If there's interest, I'll post back again.

Well I've found myself in a place where I can see a lot of these films, and am hoping to see 'Girl' tomorrow morning. This afternoon I watched 'Beautiful Boy', and it was brilliant. Timothee Chalamet wasn't the most convincing, but he was far from wrong for the part. The camera and lighting was fantastic, and I like Steve Carell in these drama roles. I'll post back on 'Girl' when I can.

@CyclingBen Is that straight out of camera?

the back fin also keeps the connections in place, so you need to saw a bit off. I did it the other day on the 10-20mm. I use it with the Viltrox EF-M2 and it's crazy wide. Strangely though, I can only zoom out to 11ish mm as I guess the glass in the lens hits a part of the booster at that point. I think it even hits the glass in the booster, so keep that in mind if you plan on doing something similar.

It's amazing how much of this was handheld. https://youtu.be/vNPZzNchyCw

Bitrate, FPS, inputs/outputs, codec etc. of the new Pannys would be really good to know. They barely mentioned anything about the video specs.

My camera store has been in contact with BMD UK, and apparently were told yesterday that delivery in Europe has been delayed.

Honestly, I wouldn't grade it. What profile did you use to shoot it? Also, whats with this camera and racetracks?

Sorry, I should have been clearer. When the cars are coming around the last corner, they kind of judder through the frame. This happens when the clip is played at the original 50fps and slowed to 25fps. This footage is from a test day Fuji held for the camera, so I thought it could have been unfinished firmware or something like that.

Yes please, someone do this. I saw and downloaded this: https://vimeo.com/288859455 But the playback is nuts. Especially with the cars coming directly at the camera. Can anyone confirm that this is also in the final release?

Or wait for 8.5K in 2021 Or wait for 8k IBIS in 2022 Or wait for 8k 120p in 2023 Or wait for 8k 120p IBIS in 2024 At some point, you just need to buy a camera and be happy with it ?

That's 10-25mm f.17, but the number chart on the bottom is certainly confusing.

It seems kind of underwhelming to me. Sure it has some pretty great features, but I can't see anything insanely groundbreaking. I mean, it doesn't even have a second, useless, record button next to the main one on the front. The weather proofing and EVF are certainly pretty great. But I missed any info on slowmo, 4K crop, ISO range etc. Seems like the price of the body and then the lenses, there are other, perhaps more exciting options. Just my 2c.

Any chance you can upload a bunch of footage? I'd love to see the same thing shot in Film, Video and Extended Video mode for some comparisons. Also, the usual stuff we've not yet seen. Does the sun have a hole? Rolling shutter etc. No worries if not, I know you probably just want to play with it in your own way haha.

Well, no shit. It is the end of September ?

I really hope my suppliers do the same. On Thursday I'm off to work in another country for a month, so if I doesn't arrive by then, I'm in for an even longer wait haha. What country are you in? It's way too early for anyone here to be sending emails about a received shipment.

It's expected to come in an update to the Ronin. I'm going wait for that update before buying the ronin.

That's quite a reflective screen on there.

Is there any footage from this camera to download? @Andrew Reid do you plan on uploading some original files? I'm interested to see how it behaves in post.

A quick sample of the touch AF kind of in action. It doesn't show much, but you can see that it's doing something.

Just a guy trying to get everyone ahead of him in the queue to cancel their orders, so he gets bumped up.

B&H expected availability changed to November.

That's great! I Was trying to find out too. That update is going to be such a good one. Braw and Ronin focus control in one (hopefully). Still going to hold off buying the S until that update arrives.

From the article, this seems quite topical: "It’s sad to see that manufacturers seem to be ignoring big shows like IBC more and more in favour of finding their own dates for big product releases, including big press trips. That is really not great at all because it can easily become a way to prevent real hands-on reviews before a release or to squash critical questions."

I hear epoxy will do the job and keep your tripod socket free.
