I'm okay with my current cameras (EVA1, GH5, GH4.) Unless one of them has a failure, I'll probably not buy a new camera in 2021. But, BGH1, S5, GH6, EVA2, or possibly Red Komodo would interest me. At least I can afford them. My main purchase in 2021 will be a Tokina 25-75m T2.9 when it comes out.

I don't think the BGH-1 is intended for the GH5 crowd. This camera has multi-site corporate, and small market broadcast potential beyond anything else on the current market. Z-cam had that potential as well, but the US computer chip embargo on China may cause problems for Z-cam.

Only you can determine what you need. How many volts does your equipment require? Are you powering a camera, monitor, FIZ units, other accessories? What is the total amps you need? How long do you want the batteries to last? Two Blueshape 190 HD Plus, with Dual V-mount 6A Travel Charger might work for you.

All V-mount and Gold-mount batteries are expensive, and if you want run lights, or power hungry cameras then you need the bigger, heavy duty batteries. You will most likely spend over $1000 USD to get even a modest package of two batteries, with a charger.

Lots of good and great cameras available in 2020. I will wait to see what the Red Komodo brings to the fray. Also, waiting on new offerings from Panasonic (GH and EVA). Let's see what NAB, CineGear, and Photokina bring out in the open.

Has anyone used the fp with an external monitor? If so, is there any lag between the camera and the monitor display?

I've heard the sensor size is a little bit bigger than s35, but not full frame.

Does anyone know if the Sigma fp shoots 24 fps, or outputs C4K? If not, has there been any talk that these two options will be added in the near future?

Get a Masters in business. It's applicable to all fields. It also shows that you're serious about the bottom line, and will help you running your own business.

I had a hands-on look at the FP on Friday at Cinegear Atlanta. It seems like it will be a great camera, although most users will want to rig it out with some sort of grip or cage.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but "comprehensive" will never hurt me. I'm thinking everyone should chill out on semantic issues.

I would rather have a crew with enough knowledge and experience to make things work with the equipment on hand.

Don't forget about cats!

No one knows yet.

I have enjoyed these "discussions", but I do not see the Panasonic S1H as a replacement for any camera currently on the market. There are too many differences (and unknowns) to compare it to other cameras. The S1H WILL be a great camera for those who it is marketed towards. That being said, it may not be for me or anyone else who has contributed to this thread.
