    See below, table from the manual for the UK version - 100 Mbps for 4k24p/25p/30p (30 minute limit), 150 for 4k50p/60p (10 minute limit)

    So yes, same bitrates as the G80, but honestly at £600 it's a steal...

    But are the time limits there to protect from overheating or just to not hurt the GH5? In other words can you restart video all day without it overheating like the GH5?

    On Canon bodies they are of course snappy and accurate without any hunting. On the BMPCC4K I enjoyed the push AF very much with the Panasonic 12-35, specially since it's such a crappy MF. A shame if we can't get the same snappiness with native EF on the P6K.

    I guess it depends with which Canon body you compare. The liveview cdaf from 60D, 5D3, 6D, etc will I guess be the same as bmpcc6k. The dpaf from 70D, 80D, 5D4, 6D2 will be way faster.

    Magic Lantern has perhaps already reached a terminus of sorts. It's a wonderful utility that has allowed us to shoot RAW video on a budget, but we haven't seen a RAW module come to any Canon camera that was released after 2013. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

    In essence, the modern DIGIC processors or sensors are much more complex and the brilliant team of developers at ML are only able to develop the software in their spare time.

    No doubt Canon has already taken steps to make ML builds more difficult to port to their newer cameras. Filmmakers like Rubidium (Crimson Engine) still often use the 5Diii ML as their C200 B-cam and that's of course bad business for Canon, who'd rather that professionals settle for an EOS R or buy a second Cinema camera.

    The biggest problem is there are only a few active developers with not enough time. They already found ways to upload code to new camera's (M50, 80D, 5D4, etc) and are waiting for other developers to port existing code to them. I think the problem is there isn't that much demand as before because now we have the BMPCC and such.

  4. The Canon 24-105mm f/4.0 L lens just isn't a sharp lens. Bought my first one second hand and thought it was just too used because at 100% the image most of the time looked slight out of focus. Sold it and bought a new 24-105mm f/4.0 ii L and this one is even worse. Bought the Sigma 24-105mm f/4.0 and it is way sharper. The only good thing about the Canon is that it's weather proof when needed. Maybe for video still good, but for photography not sharp enough for professional use.

    maybe it comes down to licensing fees, whoever holds the rf mount may have been holding out for top dollar or just wanted to have it all to themselves. Im just speculating, but its safe to say ef would have been the cheaper option. People will jump on a 6k camera for $2500 make it $3000 and  quite a few are going to think about it for a bit longer
     

    Indeed. One may use EF for free and reverse engineer it. But RF may require expensive license fees.

  6. Just got the Tokina 28-70mm f2.6-2.8 AT-X Pro. ?

    What would be a great and cheap wide angle lens with filter thread to use with it?

    Does the 17-50 have a manual appetite ring?  I want to get it with a manual speed booster to save $$

     This lens has killer range at 2.8, and for $300, WOW

    No it doesn't. Get the Viltrox EF-M2, it works perfect with the 17-50mm f2.8 and will give you an equivalent 24-70mm f2.0

    Canon will bounce back.  

    I'm sure they are here to stay (certainly with pro's). Their new RF lens line-up shows what they are best at. Just hope they also release some affordable lenses for the not-pro's ? Video features will always be a pain with Canon in their mirrorless or dslr. Don't see they changing much in the future.
