When you you see the “Fro” just say no. I honestly think we are seeing an acceleration in the camera industry when it comes to features. It still boggles my mind that a camera manufacturing hasn’t looked at the smartphone photography revolution and said, we need to innovate our processors and software to compete. I like the physical buttons on my camera. They are fast, and easy, and Mostly customizable in anyway I want. It’s a tool. It should be able to adapt to how I want to use it without having to look down at a screen or take it away from my eye. Blackmagic took a step the with the P4K with the large touch screen and slick UI and Internal ProRes and RAW. In the next 5 years, if camera companies do not embrace fast processors, easy HDR, and computational photography they will wither on the vine and be relegated to camera nerds like us.

The weebils 3kg is massively overstated.

Canon can release just about anything if it has: The Canon brand. Canon Dual pixel AF. Canon color science.

Loved the history in the beginning. I’m surprised Kodak had something that small back then. The original Pocket Camera!

No. It’ll be a $3,500 camera with 10bit internal recording and amazing eye AF...that’ll overheat and shutdown in less than 30 mins of continuous shooting. I mean that is the MO of how they do things. It won’t be until the A7Sm4 that we will get a useable A7Sm3. Hopefully by that time Panasonic (or @BTM_Pix) will sort their AF issues out and we can have our cake and eat it too.

With the overall positive reception of the S1 firmware update and the very pleasing image coming out of Panasonic’s new full frame camera, I’m thinking the S1H is going to be something special. The L-mount is building a lot of momentum with Sigmas fp and forthcoming glass and Panasonic’s usual firmware feature bonanza. Really quite impressed with Panasonic’s push here in a crowded full frame market and grim camera industry outlook.

@Mokara the S1 sensor is Sony but the S1R is Panasonic/TowerJazz. Panasonic’s 150Mbps codec is very well done. It has been discussed before at length in the GH5 thread but the difference between 150Mbps and the 400Mbps All-I are incredibly subtle in almost all cases. I wouldn’t worry about it.

Most likely you will be better served with a GH5. It’s cheaper too. It’s the Swiss Army knife. GH5S on a gimbal, properly balanced, will be fairly smooth. I have noticed micro jitters with a crane plus I borrowed once. Warp stabilizer removed it and it looked super smooth.

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.
