I think this would be an instant buy for me as a GH5S owner. Hope we get to see support for Panasonic cameras in the future.

Yeah, it’s pricey. Also it’s not battle tested in the field yet so might want to wait on it.

It’s not out yet, but the Peak design travel Tripod looks very nice if you are going to be lugging it around. Very slim profile and some nifty features.

I mean to be fair he was at 105mm.

So how does it measure? Dual pixel essential does the same thing with its dual phase detect design.

More info: Designed to work with a payload of 2.0Kg. Weights Only 1.1 Kg Less than $500 Now has active track when paired with a phone (this will make a lot of solo operators happy). Looks like it will carry: A7iii with 16-35 f2.8 GH5 with the new 10-25 f1.7

I am very interested in this I've held out buying the weebil lab because the payload capacity is way over stated but I like the form factor a features. I've held on buying a ronin-s because of the size and weight of the thing. But it has great performance and capacity.

Camera companies are strange creatures.

So how much latitude does ProRes Raw give you? I was under the impression white balance was still backed in.

You forgot talent.

I'm seriously thinking about ditching laptops (macbook pros) for a latest iPad with iPadOS. Since they added external file folder support and external drive support with a proper USB-C port. Can now just plug in a Samsung T5 drive and preview or even edit a video with lumafusion. It can handle 200Mbps HEVC files from the X-T3 without dropped frames whatsoever. This is so much better than a 15 macbook pro.

Whats the playback like on iPad once applying a LUT?

TowerJazz could be printing a licensed customized Sony sensor for any manufacturer who licensed it.

I think you will enjoy it immensely with the new firmware.

This is consistently the most annoying thing when all you want to do is preview your raw footage.

Sony and Canon want you to hold their beer.

Many people saw the L mount as a hindrance to getting a S1 but it’s looking like it’s going to be the closest thing to a universal mount for full frame cameras.

I don’t know if it’s possible but if only Panny would add ProRes Raw via HDMI and USB-C recording to their GH5S cameras along with that lovely linear focus option from the S1. The difference between the two would be narrowed slightly more.

The S1H has to have more than that for it to be worth the $6K asking price. The 150Mbps longGOP in the S1 is more than capable in anything than the most demanding scenes. It holds up quite well, just a beast to edit with. So the 400Mbits isn’t anything incredible special. Anamorphic is nice but really kinda niche because of that expensive glass. Most projects that would be shot in anamorphic would have the budget for an ARRI or RED or a Varicam. My money is on internal raw for the S1H otherwise it’s not really a cinema camera.

Very interesting. I see UHD CDNG at 100fps?! I bet smallrig is happy about this. Will need minimum a cage, side handle, some kind of v-mount or NPF battery mount. It’s like really expensive adult LEGO K’NEX. You could always run a long cable through jacket sleeve from pocket with a NPF battery in your pocket.

It’s extremely compelling for m43 shooters now. But, right now, full frame and EOS R are winning the vlogging game.

Damn, didn’t know this. Well they will just have to put the ND in the GH6 body ?

As Towd said, the autofocus improvements in the S1 are a combination of new algorithms, dedicated AF chip, and new lens motor designs in the L series lenses. They are working together to try to eliminate or at least dampen the pulsing effect (its seems to be way less noticeable in firmware v1.2) in Panasonics DfD. I'm in the same boat. I prefer lighter and smaller kit with good features. I think they need to nail a few key areas for the GH6 to be a hit. 1. Improve upon the IBIS; 7.5 stops minimum with an OIS lens. 2. Improve high ISO performance. 3. More megapixels for stills photography. 4. 14 stops minimum for dynamic range 5. A L-mount to MFT adapter with a built in ND of some sort, electronic or otherwise to increase the synergy with their L-Mount. Anyway, the S1 seems to becoming a compelling camera. Hope its not too late...

Looks like we won't see a main competitor to HEVC until late 2020 or 2021 when some phones will start shipping with AV1 hardware decoding. AV1 is also substantially slower than HEVC and VP9 for encoding (it's main hindurance atm) but has roughly 20% higher data compression than VP9 or HEVC/H.265 and 50% or more than AVC/H.264. Hopefully it will take off because it's highly efficient video data compression and royalty free, which means companies and hardware manufactures will have a lower cost of entry for hardware accelerated silicon. Hardware accelerate all the things so to speak—from TV set-top boxes, to cameras, phones, and GPUs.

B&H is also running a $400 credit upgrade program for the S1 as well. So, they will give you whatever they think your GH5 is worth plus $400 in credit for a S1.
