At this point it’s possible. The press release didn’t do this camera justice apparently.

This single photo tells us more than that whole press conference. What. The. Hell. 1. Active cooling. 2. Flip screen. What else does it have that they neglected to leave out of an important press announcement? How many people have been screaming for a capable full frame camera with a flip screen?! God, they bungled this announcement. They needed to create buzz and excitement. But it’s been named the most underrated camera of 2019 by Matti Hapaaja. Never mind it’s only June 2019. Never mind he received two free cameras from canon and “wasn’t paid” for his views. Uh huh. Boogles my mind that Panasonic did not try to hype this up. I mean canon can hype a 5DIV in 2019 (EOS R).

Pretty interesting. The S1 is a bargain with almost everything except 6K and full frame 4K60p. This thing could still have legs with firmware updates since they designed it with thermals in mind. Extremely odd they didn’t not mention bitrates. Maybe still a work in progress?

Yeah, this is spot on. I’m still excited for the release and hope there are some more surprises. I really enjoy Panasonic cameras. They get a lot right with ergos and menus systems, codecs options, and firmware upgrades. I enjoy using my GH5S way more than when I had a A7iii. I think the image looks way better and has more weight to it. I’m don’t put bokeh as high on my list as other people. I do wish though that if they can’t improve their CDAF then they should use PDAF in the meantime. I think the S1 has improved in that regard, not a leap, but a skip and a hop. I do wish they would continue to push the boundaries like they did with the GH5 2 years ago with things like built in vari-NDs in DSLR form factor.

Yes, Fujifilm is taking the mistakes of other companies of NOT releasing compelling and interesting products and capitalizing on them. If the release of the S1H doesn’t reveal any new features this camera is dead in the water. It’s not really that innovative. Especially since Sony A7siii is like a huge shark in the water everybody knows is there but can’t see (technology wise; I think their ergos and codecs suck).

R = resolution, S = speed (?), and the H = heat ?

Another door opens for Fujifilm to walk through. Honestly looks like a side project about how to control heat better in a camera with IBIS and they decided to offer it as a product. Maybe the lessons learned will be passed down the a GH camera.

It's all speculation right now but IMHO they need to nail a few key features for this to be something special: Built-in variable ND 6K 24p and a HFR 4K greater than 60p internal 14 stops of usable dynamic range Internal ProRes offerings IBIS (but only if it has an effective IBIS LOCK function)

Well, I don't normally do this but I'll be first to preorder because I have a feeling this lens will be on backorder for awhile.

Sweet, thanks for the link. I can't wait!

I’ll go one even further and say you’re not a professional either because your not shooting on medium format Arri cameras like real professionals do in multi-million dollar productions. ? You can tease a masterpiece out of almost any modern camera regardless of sensor size. It’s art. The camera is a tool. Just like a chisel is a tool to a wood engraver. And we all know only real wood engravers use #8 sized chisels only ?

I was thinking this exactly with a new GH6 hopefully coming in the future. It will be a very versatile lens with the teleconvert. 20-75 f1.7 is an awesome range. I have a feeling the L-mount cine cam will be too rich for my blood for a bit. My guess is a $5K+ body plus those L-mount lenses are expensive. This 10-20 f1.7 and the Leica 50-200 f2.8-4 will always be in my bag with just one fast 1.2 prime from panny or olympus.

Since it doesn’t include OIS, which is really unfortunate, then I would say no.

This is mostly how I do it. I use back button focus to acquire subject and then use manual to adjust. I would also really appreciate linear manual focus option like is offered on the S series. I also have found that the pull focus assist is very handy for creative shots where you have time to set it up (45 seconds or so).

Wow, the 2,500 rumors was way off. I’ll wait to see a confirmation but man 1,800 is pretty tasty for committed m43 owners.

All those are budget NDs that do well. K&F is probably a better choice but it can have nasty flaring (as do all of these) and vignetting in shots of the sky. If your custom WB balancing then color cast wont be a problem with any of them. I’m thinking of getting a K&F for now. I like the PolarPro variable ND but the price...ouch.

It’s weird because it looks like the Tripod is centered beneath the camera body but there looks to be a lot of rigging far behind the central point. So much so that it would tip backwards if she wasn’t holding it.

Not mine. From l-rumors. @Andrew Reid your right. Definitely just some rigging in the back. Camera is almost completely obscured by the matte box.

I think I’ve seen better images coming out of the S1. Dont worry guys, in a few days Tony will release a completely contradictory video about the same topic so he effectively covers the entire clickbait spectrum.

If it’s a “dream” cine camera like we’ve heard from multiple sources it must be packing something special that we haven’t seen before in its price category. The organic sensor is a plausible candidate.

What’s against the side of her shoulder then? It’s either v-mount stuff or a camera body. Also all the rigging appears to be coming off something towards the back not something behind the matte box. the follow focus is in a weird spot too. You could be right. It’s hard to tell. Why didn’t your image enhancement work like it does in the movies? ?

Looks like a EVA1 form factor PLEASE, please announce ProRes RAW HDMI support for GH5S.

The rumored larger body might allow this. They had to have heard the feedback about the GH5S. Everybody wanted the lowlight ability but with IBIS, like the GH5. It’s being marketed as a Cine camera though not a hybrid and that mostly likely means no IBIS. Regardless, this is a very exciting product announcement!

GH5S has a larger sensor and uses every bit of the MFT image circle. There has to be some leeway in the image circle otherwise the IBIS will cause vignetting during heavy correction.

Hmm, but you could if you had too. And thats my point. Take away the elitism and their isn’t a problem. Except that you aren’t using a 10K camera to charge your client to use.
