If you want a hybrid outcome, 6K is priceless : -)

Tom posted a follow-up to the above, with the results, and also the under/over exposure tests.
I did it blind and picked the P6K first, with the UMP second.  Interestingly, I chose based upon the colours, and the strange green tint from the Alexa and the awful strange everything colours of the RED made them get third and last places, respectively.  The more I grade, the more I care about good colour and the associated art department choices (which obviously aren't a factor here) and less about the resolution or whatever else of the camera.  The sharpness of the P6K doesn't phase me as I know I could soften it in post, or on set with lenses and filters.
Considering that the Alexa has been used by other people to get good colours once or twice before we know it's possible and the camera isn't fundamentally flawed...  yes, I'm kidding of course.   I don't even think he botched the WB.  It's very odd how the colours were rendered, and strange that the RED also shared some of the bad colours from the Alexa.
Regardless, seems the image from the P6K holds up pretty well, and the over exposure highlight rolloff didn't look too much worse than the Alexa, of course with the under-exposure shadows being much superior due to lower noise levels.

This thread can help you out there:
 

I concur that MFT format is actually priceless and this current price now is much more indie friendly but aside that, they're practically the same camera just along two different image resolutions and sensor sizes, respectively. Never had seen anything even closer.
You still have Luca's, anyway:
This device is a must, the Jim Jannard's promise fulfilled today, I'd dare to add : -)

Emanuel, you are a Blackmagic supporter. Do you see it any useful some other better option? Why your curiosity?

So this leaves more attention for the famous EOSHD list of the less well known youtubers. Should become a sticky topic:

How about this guy. The Iggy Pop of youtube camera craze. Love the straighfowardness and his own kind of realness and also mellow cheesyness. Still plenty to see for the minute. Great entertainment and display of friendlyness:

I accidentally bought an OG C100 during lockdown! This is my first outing with it - although there's not a lot of action around at the moment!
 

Andrew, mate, and I am even abstaining of any comment in that struggle in those threads out there, go figure! LOL No likes, nothing. More fuel to the thing, why? I believe these boards must chill out. I personally don't like to read any personal attacks, let alone to you or anyone else.
I humbly think you're not in the best of your moods tonight : ) and no matter the divergence we can all have to each other (I don't mean you and me but any of us), we are all different people, we cannot expect to see from someone else's keyboard what we'd like to read or write instead. You're the only webmaster, we are all here for fun, after all, no other pay off : -)
That my post in this thread is about the topic I believe the majority of us appreciate to read from you: cameras related.
No secondary (mis)interpretation(s).
 
So, you open this thread. My wonder: why and what single advantage you're willing to show us with that combo? Sincerely interested to hear/read/spot your finds. Hence my comment before. Is it really worthy? Nothing against photos of more gear as further add-ons to our rigs. But you should be blamed for your incentive to more purchases, you know? : D BTW any plans to post some footage of that GFX 100 Ninja V you decide now to tease your guests? Be careful with that mouth watering : P Hard to be indifferent to your posts, provocative publisher... hehe
 
Please keep this beloved forum (so yours, I consider it a bit mine or ours as well) as friendly as ever. Keep up the best of your good word, thanks man and enough deep pockets, shame on that ; -)
Let's be positive and avoid private yadda yadda, especially when ends bitter and nonsense then. Life is too precious to be wasted.

Actually, this one is available on YT:
 
Just only snaps and not video... : ( Seems the right job for you, Andrew...
I believe we cannot ignore how valuable the results all these combination tests can lead.
Maybe with Brian's bless?
I think everyone has everything to benefit from this sort of initiatives left by your forum members... Pure thumbs up ; ) finally in a much more (co-)productive way in the good old tradition of this forum : )
Let's obviously second the plea : -)

Exactly for the same reason the user up there is wondering about. Horses for courses. One doesn't exclude any other. This works to people posting, the same way to gear.
We can mimic any look out there, of course. RAW and/or a robust codec will allow it but each camera has its own intrinsic trace and this can be explored in a very plural creative way.
I don't think all cameras produce the same results. When I recommend some device or workflow for a production of mine or to others, it is because of that singularity you can only expect from a diverse range of combinations as much as possible you'll enrich your content.

Emanuel, you are a Blackmagic supporter. Do you see it any useful some other better option? Why your curiosity?

Indeed. Promising to say the least ; )

Alongside triple lens Zeiss DPAF system.
 

Hello,
Not sure you guys saw the stabilization on the FX9. But looks pretty great to me. Apparantly it saves gyro information in camera and the catalyst software uses it to stabilize it in post. (so kinda like the steadyxp, hopefully Blackmagic will implement this in their  next batch of camera's)

I've always appreciated your digest research BTW for obvious reasons. YT is unbearable these days. Suggestions by AI don't fulfill the purpose at all. Hence I believe we can't wear all the same shirt for sure : -)

Unfortunately, YT is a mess flooded by the monetization mania and I concur, the participation on footage subforum here is underestimated, anyway.
No new cameras in the horizon to launch nowadays follows, the talking heads live sessions on YT grow up as new hype... as well, brands seem to choose youtubers to promote their marketing as a sort of new internet shills.
Even the ads we had to avoid from generalist TV channels are now transferred ad nauseam to YT each couple of minutes, well, a weekly digest looks like a great idea for a new website indeed, Andrew ; )
 
With the current quarantine, I'm afraid we'll have exactly what Kye has mentioned on his new thread, and a decrease on content quality until the crisis will last, so be ready yet for some months to come...

Was browsing TradeMe (NZ's version of eBay) for radio equipment, when I saw to my surprise a camera:

Panasonic GX80 for dirt cheap! Yusss

https://www.trademe.co.nz/electronics-photography/radio-equipment/amateur-radio/listing-2583819575.htm


https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/panasonic_5_band_receiver_gx80_rf_1680l.html
https://youtu.be/EoJ_okQl5vU

Oh wait, that is indeed a radio! Not a camera at all. 

Interesting, Panasonic "reused" a model name?

Emanuel, inspired by those youtube videos (massive information you've added), that still echoes in my head.

Not being defensive, even though seems to you and I bet for 66% others over here if so : D BTW majorities don't break my heart anyway, I confess I have a weakness for minorities... ; )
The point is we live in a selfish society. People go to YT but mind you they post their findings here?
I just see many of people today coming everywhere and collect to their own benefit. It's sick. Wanna know my opinion? I write it anyway... LOL
I didn't take as offense (hence my disclaimer up there), I address it merely as a point.
People are too lazy to scroll the page down. Reason why many videos to worth your time as you say or bother your curiosity are always better to pretend you're not aware of their existence... LMAO
People prefer to jump and comment on YT among strangers more often than I like to see. I still fuel these type of forum communities to flourish so I'd rather bring the discussions to here for some good reason.
Take a look on my posting activity, my friend, I am even ashamed for the time spent so I don't see the need for words when I can avoid them.
BTW "recommended" by AI, you mean? ; ) It is not the same as coming from my scrutiny, trust me, I rarely post anything randomly, well, I even take my time to choose them yet ; -)
 
In a line: YT is a mess.

I have always found Emanuel's selection fairly thoughtful.

I figure out your point and obviously respect that but, the same way I won't comment if I subscribe or not the way you or anyone here introduces your content or the color you choose to wear and rule your choices or daily life, I believe we must be tolerant with the difference. To begin with.
Words or declarations of will are not enough. People reveal their guts along their deeds, above all.
Even because I think you're used to already see me to write dozens of lines over here, isn't it?
Then, I guess the fact I second that venerable premise of a picture is worth a thousand words, it should be sufficient to also fit your turn trying to understand the other side. Comes to my mind when people don't make a single effort to learn the foreign idiom but are expecting we have to be fluent on theirs... LOL ; )
On the other hand, search button didn't orient me to any thread you or any other here had remembered to open on such interesting topic well expressed through a couple of words as thread's title coming from 1st video posted BTW... can you answer me why?
My turn to add my two cents now : ) In my native land, we're used to resume the whole thing in a couple of words. To resume my point: sofa coach.
I am eager to see your contribution to be straightforward with you as well. I am not paid as much as everyone of us guests here, but I'd sincerely appreciate to see more people to find and select content outside and address it to this community. Really. Rather than criticize who spends a few of his time, even short, to do it. Because if you don't care, you always have the option to ignore it. Don't feel too bored or constrained to do it please : -)
 
Maybe my habit to invariably post not only one or two videos as 99% of people usually do when bother to contribute, to follow my customary deep research (I only found 13 videos this time, I'm sorry : P), may have produced your reaction? If so, I invite you to read again the 1st paragraph of this post and show a bit more recognition or even gratitude once you arrived in this page after all. Pardon my lack of modesty now, but when I perform anything I am used to leave it complete, despite the form chosen. You know what? I normally start to look for coming to these boards and only when I see none of you had the generosity to add anything substantial on subject or organized in a thread, I decide to share the product of my search. For the sake of promoting discussion in addition. As index applies besides.
 
Disclaimer: I sincerely appreciate and don't mind at all about your words, Snowfun. I take them as useful add-on anyway. My response is more prone to be addressed to some other ones who may concur on that, though :- D

Yeah I am not a fan of the modern focus by wire lenses. I have a 35mm 1.8 but its a bit of a nightmare to focus. I much prefer the older AI or AI-S lenses.
