Yup, and how this compares with Nikon? Whereas Z6 and Z7 look to struggle a bit, users say Z8 is better. How do they compare with this Panasonic?

The PDAF sensors are horizontally oriented. They work all the same. In real life you have to try hard to make it fail.

PDAF is also late.

Better late than never and it was high time that Panasonic had recognized this.

They could have launched it earlier. A bit late to the party in 2025.

the gimbal?

Sam O'Steen was a great collaborator of Roman Polanski. Mike Nichols too. A curious note, he is the man on bus in The Graduate.

As for instance, have anyone noticed the work of this old good fellow here other than a few of us?

Take a look on such well done BTS and tell me then that's nothing new to see there... ; ) LOL

Here's another one:

 

Great hard work there! Sounds B&W deserves much more talents to only make B&W films today. Good bet!

I have been having a lot of fun lately with the Osmo pocket, I find it a truly creative and interesting camera that literally comes everywhere with me. It got me thinking about whether there is something similar with a great image and I started reading about the Osmo pro raw. Of course, it's much bigger than the pocket, but looks like it could be pretty sweet for that same level of fun and creativity.

Has anyone used one?

I agree. Looked to me a very interesting concept... Seems they've abandoned it. Have you used one?

These guys are right. No math involved logic and perception are the cinema.

There isn't any confusion at all involved because math isn't applied. Perception doesn't need to be less scientific than math.

In the field with small crews, size matters.

3/4 years ago I almost bite this one here: https://nikonrumors.com/2018/06/30/this-camera-and-lens-collection-contains-1750-pieces-and-can-be-yours-for-65000.aspx/

Useful training program certification. I can only recommend.

However, even if remains true in production, they will use this advantage to make even smaller pixel and keep the same DR as current sensors.

How do you know that?

Not sure what specific post you're referring to, but most kit lenses are ~24-70, most secondary zooms are 70-200, and most systems have a 16-35 equivalent.  The numbers all look different between brands and mounts etc, but they mostly boil down to those ranges.

I meant the aforementioned Sigma 18-35/1.8. And that link with the FF coverage for a part of its range. So, no idea if wide open too?

Proprietary lens mounts don't meet my wishful list. By contrast, that Sigma is a foregone conclusion. Covers FF for video but wide open?

A bargain dead on. What FF range do they cover after all?

Post makes them cinematic.

Nice find.

And, no, the camera did not overheat in the bright sun (75+ F).

How many minutes?

Looks like gamers can bring the revolution to the creative industry so far.

This is not true in Resolve, you don’t have enough gpu vram and you cannot render 8k no matter whatever proxy strategy you use.

Because Resolve power is based on GPU but there isn't only one NLE on earth, isn't it? 😉

ETTR.

Prores is Apple's so optimized for their hardware and software. I'd give M1 a chance. It will be the only one to process H.265 footage smoothly whereas AMD and Intel fail for now.

Fair enough.

Unfortunately, your budget isn't sized appropriately for the resolutions you're talking about.

I think you have three paths forward:

• Give up on the laptop and add a zero to your budget, making it $20000 instead of $2000, then go find where people are talking about things like multi-GPU-watercooling setups and where to put the server racks and how to run the cables to the control room
• Do nothing and wait for Apple to release the 16" MBP with their new chipset in it (this could be a few years wait though and no guarantees about 8K)
• Work with proxies

Proxies are the free option, at least in dollar terms, and you probably don't need to spend any money to get decent enough performance.  I'd suggest rendering 1080p proxies in either Prores HQ or DNxHD HQ.  This format should be low enough resolution for a modest machine to work with acceptable performance, but high enough resolution and colour depth so that you can do almost all your editing and image processing on the proxy files, and they will be a decent enough approximation of how the footage looks.  Things like NR and texture effects would need to be adjusted while looking at the source footage directly, but apart from that you should be able to work with the Proxy files and then just swap to the source files and render the project in whatever resolution you want to deliver and master in.

Yes, proxies are the best option. Output resolution isn't important. You can have whatever you want.

Yeah, M1 chip all way long.
