A well known tendency https://nofilmschool.com/second-screen And this in Italian can be easily read via Google translate: https://www.ilpost.it/2025/02/03/netflix-serie-secondo-schermo/ The dialogues of many Netflix-produced series are often didactic and informative: it frequently happens that a character summarises what has happened so far, or anticipates some future plot development in a more or less arbitrary way. They are written in this way to allow the most inattentive viewers to pick up the thread at any time, without having to go back or interrupt their viewing. Productions that include dialogues of this kind are usually associated with the expression 'second screen', because they are designed and written in such a way that they can be easily followed even while attention is focused on a 'first screen': that of the smartphone.

Exactly. The viewer does not give a damn how it was made. A film or documentary must move feelings or make people think. If they do, who cares about the technical details? Only the insiders.

I don't understand whether this is a provocative post or a serious one. Now, I am also somewhat ignorant of the topic but some of the statements seem 'exaggerated' to me to be good. In general, digital has greatly democratised cinema and its art. But every art has its era and its crafts and this constant 'it was better before' is largely pissing me off. It describes good old times that never existed. There were horse carriages and the farrier lobby, then came the railway and goodbye farriers. The truth is that today any artist can produce a film with cinematic quality at home and at a negligible cost. Unless you regret the old Super 8 home movies. Anyway, back to the data. It's hard to talk about resolution as we understand it today in the digital world, but I have my doubts that a good film will not solve 8K, quite the contrary. Here a document for nerds: http://www.tmax100.com/photo/pdf/film.pdf But here there's a video that explains it more simply. Regarding the immediacy of film.... are we talking cinema or home-made Super 8s? Because if you mention Clint Eastwood and Kodak Vision (Vision is cited also in the YT video above) then it's much more complex with intermediate and print stocks: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_stock Ah and color grading existed on film stock too. It was called color timing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_grading Finally, am I saying that digital is better than film stock? NO, they are two different medium.

Escalate it quickly

Exactly. He has almost 500K followers, he is part of the problem, he helped create it and now he is playing the virgin. It sounds to me like a butcher lecturing on veganism. This is the second whining he has done in a few months and both times it was because of a Lumix review. At this point I don't think it's a casual thing. Yet if you read the comments to his whining, everyone agrees with him. Maybe all the loser haters are here.

Sorry guys, I had to do it. I really don't get this guy anymore. This video would be perfect for the "Rise of the salesmen, Death of the artist" thread. @Andrew Reid feel free to delete this post

Whan you can, would you mind to share a couple of raw clips shot by you so I can see how they its on my workflow?

I'm becoming crazy to understand these settings. If i understand it correctly, I have 4:2:2 only in C4K or 4K otherwise I have always 4:2:0. Basically it's like my GH5MII. Am I missing something?

At this point, in an uncertain future video-centric model, I don't see how they can put in other video features while leaving the camera body unchanged since this one even though it has the fan seems to be capped. Maybe they really need to scale up to a box type camera

From the reviews seen so far there is everything and nothing. GU tested it in "lab mode" and slaughtered it. He was smart to report the bugs to Pana who fixed them for him via fw updates. Other youtubers reported problems found by GU but they didn't get the updates and didn't even know they existed. So people who look at their reviews think it all sucks. For example, some say AF is not up to par. If you look at Richard Wong's review the AF is perfect and aligned with Sony. He has fw 1.0. he is the only one who tested extensively on animals and cars and there are some smart features. Other youtubers have tried it on real projects or real use cases and there is very little criticism and they speak very highly of it. Moving the camera left and right like crazy and screaming that the RS is terrible or claiming on paper that having only 12 stops without DR is like swearing in church, seems like bullshit to me. The beloved 5DMKII ML had 9 stops of DR and yet everyone was wetting their pants. In short, lab is one thing and reality is another. BTW the same youtubers who now blast the S1RII are the ones who would hate an S1R that we like a lot.

The review I linked above has a lot of comparisons with S5II, A7CR and for IBIS even Z6III

IMHO Best overall review so far, very long but you can jump the desired chapter:

Yes

Some comments reported that on the line skipped 4K@120p AF is DFD only

It was a typo: 1h 18' sorry Anyway this is the first time I hear something like that from a Lumix camera. How it will perform in the Mediterranean area in summer? This guy got overheating under the sun without even recording (26:55)

Yes my bad. I skipped one hour

@ 21°C 6,4K Open Gate 18 minutes and it shut off

I don't like Gerald Undone but ATM his review is the most spot-on. Camera is packed with a lot of features but a lot of caveat and asterisks. IMHO is a camera for photographers who shot some video. If you shoot mostly video is not a camera for you. GU got a lot of overheating. Just check his review

Sorry, I was quoting Undone and I saw another two videos with the camera locked for overheating. Moreover battery runtime are ridiculous

And first Lumix camera which overheats!

Basically Gerald trashes the camera...

Six years ago we had S1R and S1H and all the rumours always talked about two new cameras and that the first to come out would be the photography-oriented S1R. Reading the leaked specs raises a question in my mind. What if Panasonic only released one camera? From the specs, it looks like it will be chock full of video features in pure Pana style.
