I think this camera is every bit as revolutionary as the original Canon 5D 

 

When the idea was posted of doing a contest on here a few weeks back with the GH2 I looked at eBay to see the prices and was really surprised to see how much they were going for. I feel like I looked about 2 years ago and they were well under $250, but now they were $300 and up. Heck, I bought my GX85 for $250 in January, so that seems like a lot for the GH2!

I just picked up a 7artisans 55mm f/1.4. Hasn’t come yet. It was $120. It’s going to be something like a 99mm f2.5 DoF on my GH5S.

$120...why not.

I too want the Oly 75mm but I can’t justify the cost and I can’t find it cheap anywhere so the waiting continues here as well.

The 7artisans lenses are actually quite decent for the price. I think you'll be happy with it.

Many Cannon fans are saying

"That's OK,...I can work arround the heat. I only shoot short clips anyway..."

These guys ARE going to find that they get burned with shutdowns more than they anticipated. Its going to hit them when they LEAST want it to. 

I predict that the used market will be FLOODED with R5's starting in 6 months and we will see WAY more R5's for sale on eBay than we would normally see.

The R5 resale value is going to be terrible and Cannon makes zero dollars from resold cameras.

Yeah, when you have people saying the overheating warning came on after leaving the camera on for 20 minutes before even hitting record, they're gonna be in for a rude awakening for sure.

These folk here can’t understand that.  The average shot in a commercial is about a second .

i think their brains are hit with the Almighty  ‘cripple hammer “ which they refer to constantly.

i can’t wait to see the.great creative work done with this awesome tool. 
And it will be .

Unsure if joking or not. Guessing not. Funny post either way.

It's actually a bummer to see so many youtubers/bloggers/influences/blah supporting Canon and Sony as they continue to under-deliver.

100%

I hate seeing companies rewarded even when they cripple stuff, intentionally or not. 

On some videos skin tones look decent, on others though they look bad. It's strange, because it'll happen in the same video.

Lol just a bit bewildered by all the whining and hysteria because a certain product doesn't meet expectations. Probably forums on toasters that have the same issue.

I'm bewildered by someone playing devil's advocate for a camera that can overheat in photo mode. 

No, not every camera is made for me, but I'd still like to see that the camera, ya know, works as advertised.

Yes, for me PDAF is merely a "want", and a long way from a *need*, but seeing them deliver on PDAF would bring about greater faith in the future of MFT.

Agreed. I just need reassurances that M43 is going to still be relevant, otherwise it doesn't make sense to invest more into the system. 

It wouldn't let me edit my last post, but I wanted to add that the Olympus situation has made me reevaluate M43 a bit. I think it can survive, but Panasonic can't keep denying things like PDAF when that's what the majority of customers want. While it isn't that important to me, the growth/sustainability of the system is because I'm heavily invested in it. I want to know that it will be around and competitive in 5 years, and a big part of that is meeting the expectations of the customers. 

I think the GH6 will likely have similar specs as the S1H, with a few extra ones that take advantage of the M43 system. 

I really hope I'm wrong but I don't expect either ProRes or PDAF. Maybe they'll surprise us, but they really seem dead set on DfD auto focus and I think it's a big, big mistake. It matters little to me personally, but it's clearly what people want / expect. Not doing it would just be a bad look, perception wise. 

Remember how Canon flew people to a tropical island for the EOS R announcement? 

Imagine the R5 in those conditions! 😂

That's wild that it overheats shooting just photos.

Well, this is what happens if you stop using the "cripple hammer" people often complained about, and simply offer what the hardware can do.

Imagine blaming Canon's gigantic fuck up on anyone but Canon.

Has somebody somewhere made a pilot for netflix using this camera. I'm sure they have. Do the vast vast majority of netflix prods use a prosumer body with a tiny screen and limited lens line up as their cam. Absolutely not. I'd stop digging.

The argument you made wasn't "the vast majority," it was that no one would use it for anything but a crash cam. That's factually not true. 

Your comments re: the screen and lenses is a tell that you don't know what you're talking about. No one is using the S1H without rigging it up, unless they absolutely need to. They certainly don't care if they have to adapt lenses, either. 

You've done nothing but shit post on this forum. Please stop.

Thanks for posting this video.  Mark makes a compelling point for the S1H for Netflix production quality without making a pitch.

The S1H being Netflix approved is actually great.  You can invest in a Netflix approved camera for a lot less money which is needed in some productions.

 

Mark is great. One of my favorite YouTubers. 

Just now, Nezza said:

Would you care to actually refute what I've said based on evidence or just demand to see my CV because you can't?

I mean, I literally refuted what you said and showed evidence that the S1H is being used on an actual Netflix production. 

Now share evidence of your production experience, please.

From working in the industry and seeing what’s used. Yours?

What's your name? Resume? 

I really do think @Andrew Reid should require people that talk like this to use their real names so we can judge how much credibility we should give what they say. It's way too easy (and common on here) to hide behind "working in the industry" when people disagree with you when you're anonymous 

6 minutes ago, Nezza said:

I'm sure he is. How many netflix productions are using an S1H would you estimate?

Who knows? Who cares? You said no one was using it for Netflix, outside of it MAYBE being a crash cam. That's not true.

What's your point?

I'm guessing his point is that you're speaking as an authority when, truthfully, you probably don't know and have little real experience working on a major production. There seems to be a lot of folks like that on the forums lately.

On the end of a jib for a stunt that might get trashed you might find one. But never for A or B. Just marketing fodder for prosumers, 'My cam is netflix certified'. That's nice!

And why would Netflix help Panasonic to market it by adding it to the approved list? 

17 minutes ago, Nezza said:

Crash cam, maybe, just maybe. A cam. Nope.

Mark Holtze is using a S1H and vintage lenses for a Netflix pilot right now. 

28 minutes ago, Nezza said:

The S1H did get close in a lot of ways for the pro-thusiast, but the AF was a bust (absolutely needed for a hybrid) plus the L mount lenses are $$$ and not plentiful in range.

The Netflix thing was a gimmick. Marketing tool. The vast majority of Netflix productions won't use something at this level. 

But it is being used for Netflix productions...

Actually, my intention was to note how m43 is at the very moment the most capable (even higher) indie movie making format - but it must be that my noble intention was typically lost somewhere in mine new example of advanced Sioux English language 😞

Your English is better than our attempts at speaking your native language would be, so don't feel too bad!

Why is Canon being given a harder time about over heating compared to Sony overheating and color issues?  This does not seem fair and not sure why the mob mentality has taken over? 

I assume it's because it seems to happen under specific conditions on the Sony, as opposed to Canon where it can happen by just turning it on. 

Either way, overheating cameras are unacceptable. People need to stop accepting them. 

Panasonic's auto focus isn't prefect, but they've never overheated on me during a 6 hour shoot in a 100+ degree venue filled with hundreds of people in the middle of July. That's the kind of dependability I am looking for and is the one thing I'm not willing to overlook personally.

  Every camera reviewer  has been saying the last eight years is that canon has to change, they can't go on being so conservative with their specs.   And finally they do it and everyone turns on them . Y'all just got what you wanted right? 

 

It feels like you've made this post a couple dozen different times and it's dumb every time. 

Short of a redesign, how do they even fix this? What a disaster.
