Me after watching all the S5ii coverage... 
"Panny boy... you did it!"

 

Now someone please (Megadap?) make a good AF adapter for e-mount to l-mount 🙏
I have a feeling that the next camera release from Pana could be my perfect camera, but I dont want to switch lenses at all 🤧 I love my emount lens collection..

I think it is very much competitive with the cameras above. PDAF, fantstic IBIS and lots of pro-video tools. Really glad they have finally made such a camera. I agree with Gerald that in terms of value for money S52 is the next A7III. I hope Panasonic sells a shit tone of them and more lens mafucatures will enter L-mount alliance.

thats the rumor

So one of the youtubers shares the following rumors:
S5mk2 - 2000$ 
S5mk2X - 2200$ .. and it has 6k60 FF! 
If that will appear to be true (only 5 more hours till we can verify that), I say we have a big win for Panasonic. 6k60p camera with PDAF, very good IBIS and all the Panasonic goodies for only 2200$ frankly sound very tempting.

Looks like DJI is releasing a RS3 Mini
 
 

Sounds like a dick measuring contest. Have you actually read any of the arguments I was making in this thread? My comments on telephoto advantages of M43? My list of compared lenses? I gues you did not or it slipped your attention somehow. I think I am gonna end this discussion right here. 

That
is an unambiguous and obvious clue to what we all been waiting for the past 5 years! Hurray comrades! 

Its a simple question of comptetion. FF 4k60 should be a defacto standadt of a video-oriented camera this days. OK 20% crop is passible but not 50%. Thats it. But I guess Pana is reusing an old Sony IMX410 sensor over and over again and that is sad in itself. If a PDAF is their main feature to differentiate from S5 its not all that great. Its important for the future of the system but just for the S5mk2 itself.. not so much. We need more after 2.5 years.

New year New Phase: 4th january
 
 

I sort of never heard about it before you have just mentioned ☺️
will try it out!
Though OFX plugins are usually damn slow and for this one you would want it to be quick. I hope Resolve will improve on its own plugin a bit. 

I like the blatant confidenace with which you spit out such statements. No biggie. Righ now l-mount has the second biggest lens selection after e-mount (around 105 FF lenses) and its growing cos Panasonic and Sigma are working on it. And other manufactures can join the alliance and start making lenses for it as well if the ever want to (unlike say for Canon RF). Now they have DJI - a very intresting and innovative player in the market. Tha main problem for them is the absence of a reliable AF. If they can solve it (and we all hope they will pretty soon) its hard to predict the future of the system. If more players will join it (like BM, and maybe some chinese\korean manufactures like Youngnuo, Samyang) it might become very relevant at some point. Lets see what Panasonic finally brings out with a S5II lineup. Crossed fingers for PDAF with some fancy AI features. 
Another imporant thing to understand is that both Sigma, Panasonic and DJI do have other profitable buisness so they can afford to invest into L-mount without an urge to make it profitable. 

Maybe they'll just figure out how to generate realistic motion blur with a help from neural nertworks in post. That would actually be even better. You could use gyro for stabilisation and than add MB in post and no need for an ND 💁‍♂️

Does it use NR01=1? Anyway it looks really good for such a small sensor. For linear 16x9 you need to crop even more into it, right? But I love the detail and color. Yes it will fall apart in low light.. but still impressive. 

Yes, proper monitoring tools, waveforms, false colors, lots of peaking and zebra options, etc. There is no point for them on the small screen but on a bigger one - sure! Through some anamorphic options in the bag and we are set.

I have no idea if this guy knows anything but he seems pretty convinced that there will be a new camera but with PDAF.
 

You dont need AF for a very wide lens I guess.. 

DJI gets to bring focus to the alliance.
