You can be critical of Gerald's opinion without labeling the dude a shill. C'mon people.

Even if the "regular" 4K doesn't overheat... You're gonna pay $4K for line skipped 4K30p?

I agree, I think the overall color is pretty decent. It's not perfect but it's improved. The 10 bit will get you where you want pretty easily.

And Hugh Brownstone, who got 23 minutes outside in 88 degree weather. Honestly any overheating makes me nervous. I guess I'm just spoiled with the GH5 and G85?

They're far from perfect but they've definitely improved them. I liked the footage I saw in Potato Jet's video especially.

I don't mind Panasonic AF since the updates, but it's clearly what is holding a lot of people back from going with them. The biggest problems they have for their full frame offerings are AF and lack of native lenses.

I thought the colors I was seeing out of the A7siii looked pretty decent personally.

The footage I've seen looks really good. The colors aren't too bad either. I really wish they'd fix the IBIS. I'd love to see someone test it in a really humid situation. While I don't film in direct sunlight a lot (only really weddings), I film in small venues that don't always have AC and get real hot and humid. Buildings can get into the 100Fs with hundreds of people, even in the evening.

Hugh is great. I think @Andrew Reid would appreciate him. He's such an incredibly thoughtful person, and very, very honest.

It does.

Why not?

I'm not complaining at all. I said it was a solid release. But if you don't think these features will be matched, if not beaten, in the next year or so, I'm not sure what to tell you. And until Atomos comes out with an affordable recorder that can record it, hardly anyone is going to be able to use 16 bit RAW, and frankly most folks don't need 16 bit RAW. Not everything has to be viewed as super positive, or super negative. This is a fine release, but talk of it "Crushing" this camera or that camera is silly.

Their MFT lenses work pretty well on Olympus cameras with PDAF.

"Crushing" seems a bit hyperbolic. It definitely has advantages, but so does the S1H.

This is a solid release for people already invested in the system BUT it does kinda feel like Sony is just finally catching up and there's a chance this release will look dated pretty quickly. Someone really needs to have a heart to heart with Panasonic about AF, because all of these companies have left the door open for them. Canon tried to shut it (I think?), but that was an unmitigated disaster, but after this release its still open, I think.

Maybe they should've tested that in the original video they released before saying it didn't? 🤔

I don't think many people were / are asking to be able to record 120fps for that long. If the limit is there for 4K60 though it is a deal breaker for me. While an hour might seem long enough for most people, I need genuine unlimited record times.

I didn't! I always believed in Canon's ability to fuck things up!

It is.

I know, what I mean is that seems to be a suitable solution.

The S1H?

The thought of using a leaf blower or a fridge to cool down my $4,000 camera makes my butthole pucker.

It is quite dishonest, but he'll address the overheating issues in a future video to maximize hits / ad revenue. It's why he included BTS footage of them using a LEAF BLOWER to try and cool the camera down.

I'm curious to know if the cameras can overheat taking just photos, since it seems to make the camera quite hot when switching over to video after shooting them? It's bad enough that it overheats in video, but that's even worse.
