    Yes exactly. Surely me and Philip together, have a much larger reach to GH5 / Pocket users, than Nino/Johnnie? Did Cinema5D even write any Blackmagic Pocket camera articles prior to this? It is all cine lenses, audio boxes, cages, pro cameras.

    @Andrew Reid you are assuming that matters to the people making the decisions. For all you know, they could have pulled names out of a hat, or had an intern choose people based on whose work he/she liked!

  2. The F5 product page is finally up, and while i see what looks to be a few little improvements I'm still not overly impressed, as nothing has really moved the ball forward.

    Improvements:

    • no limitations around the various zooming features when working with 4k input
    • audio meters
    • integrated battery plate
    • integrated sunshade mount

    The problem I am having with all of the negative nancy’s around here is that they live in such a bubble. As said ad nauseum, sure nobody WANTS the crop, but the camera has it. If it isn’t your cup of tea, COOL! But nobody has said the image looks bad. Because so far, everything I’ve seen from the camera looks great. A thick image with great AF and great colors. People live in such bubbles here. If any of you were forced to shoot with it and forced to deal with the crop, I’m sure you guys would get amazing results. 

     And what about the ”everything is awesome" bubble boys!

    And I love how dual card slots is now the new 4K :) All over the internet people and reviewers are actually claiming that 95% of all the cameras ever used through history where in fact unusable. Who knew, lol.

    It's just like when people say "it has 4K" like its some instant stamp of approval.

    O get over yourself!

    It's called a differentiator.

    It's like airbags in a car, at one time it was a gimmick, and 99.9% of people will never need them, but now it's generally considered a negative if a car doesn't have it.

    But I do feel the future of camera and tech journalism is at stake. In fact it may already be absolutely dead. And the most depressing thing of all is that the reader is fine, unawares, and on the most part notices no issue.

    In some ways I agree, but consumers need to bear some responsibility. People don't use their damn brains nearly enough anymore, they are happy for someone else or a machine to do their thinking for them.


    if you want a laugh read this.

    Wouldn't it be missed ideal timing opportunity - regarding new BMP4K and more manufacturer's external 10bit solution - if Panasonic technically could, but refuse to implement ProRes Raw codec in both GH5 versions?

    Panasonic wouldn't implement ProRes raw, they would implement raw (not the same thing) out over hdmi. If they can/will is most likely a technical discussion not a sales/marketing one.

    Oh dear, pity pity Danny boy. Dan's upset! DAN'S UPSET!


    First off, lol... There is literally nothing you could say that could make me care enough to be upset.

    Secondly,  By all means please continue doing what you are doing. You're doing a fine job of proving my (and others) previous points.

    Cheers.

    I think it's because these users are more loyal to a brand than they are to a person.

    I've insulted the shrine of Blackmagic.

    They are becoming like a poor man's RED cult.

     

    See, this is why you don't get any support! You paint the entire world as either for you or against you, when in reality its not anywhere close to that.

    If this was anyone other than Panasonic I would agree. But I would not underestimate Panasonic... that's like bring a knife to a gun fight.

    True, but the $7k AU-EVA1 doesn't have it. Raw out is $15k VariCam territory.

    I just can't see this happening, not at a price point where Panasonic can sell it to consumers and low level pros.

    This is probably going to be the final beta v801, with the new LUTs being sent out shortly. Skin tones less orange/magenta. Remember, you’ve got to ETTR and set saturation in camera to -5 with the new version.

    Sample

    Did you have any issue with green cast with 801?

    I'm playing with some test footage I shot today to compare 502 vs 801. literally everything was set identically (and I mean everything) other than changing saturation to -5.

    801 is darker, but when ever I try and brighten it up, i get a green cast!

    If a person doesn’t care about crop for video, but still wants full frame stills they will not buy any of the cameras you mentioned. I have to think Canon knows most shooter fall into this camp. While you are entitled to an opinion, your views are not mainstream. Most movies are still shot on cropped sensors. And most stills shooters prefer full frame. This is a  hybrid camera and thus must accommodate the populist view.


    Your blind faith in Canons understanding of markets needs/wants is laughable. They have a history over the last decade or so of just sliding by on name recognition and past accomplishments. I would go as far as saying the are the most clueless of major manufactures.   

     

    For example:

    5D iV - 4k 30p 500 Mb/s M-JPEG , I mean seriously its not the mid 90's anymore.
