  1. I want 6K. I would shoot almost anything except a static talking head in 6K for the many benefits it gives you including flexibility to crop, image stabilization, downsampling and noise reduction into a 4K deliverable. Of course things are moving to 8K but I think the uptake on 8K content is going to be extremely slow. Much, much slower than 4K as the benefits are increasingly diminishing for the storage and processing costs. 6K is a happy medium for a long time to come for anybody not shooting nature films for National Geographic.
  2. It’s about that time for Tony to release a MFT is dead video. He does one every 3 months or so. He will definitely use these specs to prove he’s right this time...
  3. I’m really interested to see where the actual specs land. If it offers 4K/60p no crop and pixel binned then that’s good enough for me. 4K120p with a heavy crop and no AF is fine with me. Oversampled 4K24/30p would be amazing. Dual pixel in every mode up to 60p would be killer as well as roughly 13.5 stops DR to compete with S1H.
  4. I should note the circle in the bottom right is the best value for the money...its probably a Sony F3 or something....or some other older, used, cinema camera that has seen some shit.
  5. Guys, guys. This is the videography and photography world. You have to teach him to be really toxic first so he has a fighting chance in the first place. First of all, you can't use more than one camera brand. IF you do, you're lost. You have to choose one brand and then go all in...buy brand merch and invest at least 10K into the system. You then have to shun and look down on anybody that uses a different camera, why? Because they are dumb and not smart like you. Got it? Good. Second, EVERY camera that is NOT YOUR CAMERA has terrible color science. This is fact. Third, it's always, without exception, all about the gear. Dropping 3K on a new camera WILL make you a BETTER photographer/videographer. Don't believe anybody that tells you otherwise because they probably shoot on a point-and-shoot (this is very, very bad). Fourth, never talk to a Pentax owner. This rule has no exceptions. Do not break it. Fifth, and final, when you switch your camera brand you have to start from step 1 all over again. Good Luck and fast shutters!
  6. Well, in any case. A very good used car price.
  7. hmm, I still think this is hype and we will see the usually bizarre crippling but if it is true... I might invest in RF and canon. 8K is more than I’ll ever need. If they can deliver no crop 4K up to 60p (120p is icing on the cake) with dual pixel auto focus, 10 bit Clog, IBIS and color science then good on Canon. The S1H is that now but without good AF. Which is a real shame because they make great cameras and give the people what they want and I trust them more than Canon. But autofocus performance, if not sorted out, will kill any future Panasonic cameras I’m afraid. But man oh man, those RF lens prices pucker the ol’ b-hole. Say $2799 for the new R5, $2,299 for 15-35, and $2,799 for 70-200... Thats $8K...
  8. Last time I checked, my phone didn't have a fan and is extremely compact. Let me check again....Yup. Yet, RED has a heatsink on their sensors....and feels it's important to give you temp readouts for their sensor. MY guess, is that the DSPs they are using are still stuck on old process nodes, even as old as 55nm. Compare that to the latest Apple and Samsung devices at 7nm. A lot less heat and voltage at 7nm.
  9. I like how they are now stepping back from the original article "rumors" hype. I really do think the Fuji X-T4 is going to shake things up. It really is going to put a hurt on MFT and Panasonic, not so much the FF crowd.
  10. They are still working out a deal to get 24p in 1080 on the 1DX3.
  11. I did not know the FZ2500 had a built in ND. Dreaming of having a sweet little ND selector on the GH camera! Please, panny!
  12. @wolf33d 's wait may finally come to an end! 😁 3 long years....
  13. Vlog does have the custom view assist .VLTs...otherwise, I don't see many drawbacks to shooting CineD.
  14. Apple should make a FCPX Lite for the iPad that allows you to preview footage, mark, cut, trim, favorite, and keyword footage and then bring it into FCPX on Mac with a few clicks and the iPad within a couple feet of the desktop Mac. Like a seamless project airdrop. It would make categorizing and find your selects in the field much easier when its fresh.
  15. Must be the new Mavic 3 Pro with 35mm sensor.
  16. I counted 3, maybe 4 shallow depth of field shots in that entire gorgeous film.
  17. At what, like 5Gbps.... Have fun with that.
  18. Shots fired. I said it before, but I think the S1H is going to be a cult favorite, especially if Panasonic continues to improve it through firmware upgrades. It would have been a run away success if they fixed the damn autofocus once and for all. But I’m kinda exhausted with all the new stuff. I’m ignoring all the shiny new toys this year and instead diverting that excitement and energy into creating.
  19. I’m buying that EOS R5! Oh, someone pinched me...I’m back in the reality. Im just going to keep my GH5S and hope for a late 2020 announcement of a GH6, perhaps the last MFT camera from Panasonic. Should be good for the next 3 years 🙃
  20. Canon traditionally released under whelming spec’d cameras and now suddenly has the fastest readout of any sensor, better IBIS than Panasonic and Olympus, and 8K 30p RAW in a mirrorless form factor? Why isn’t that in the C500, their flagship cinema camera?
  21. I’ll believe it when it’s released and in peoples hands. Highly doubt Canon would sell you an R camera with better specs and less money than a C500.
  22. Some of the best times was milk runs in my Ferrari. It’s only down the street but it only takes 6 seconds to go from 0-60.
  23. 75% lightning and composition, 20% lens, 5% camera with any camera made after 2016. I mean with the new way of filming... https://www.slashfilm.com/the-mandalorian-stagecraft-photos/ They probably could have filmed the Mandolorian with a GH5 and nice cinema lenses, definitely an S1H. You don’t need Alexa levels of Dynamic range when the background is a digital HDR screen.
