Lintelfilm Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 IMO this announcement is just going to be as dull as "Varicam features in a smaller body". They'll make big noise about the dual ISO etc being a first for a camera of this size. Perhaps something new like an interchangeable mount.on the other hand, IBIS would be a first for a cinema camera, and would make sense for a "mobile" unit. IMO the GH5 absolutely has to have IBIS but in marketing terms they're trailing Sony with that - but this would make a big splash. Just a theory ...

Lintelfilm Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hang on - if you look closely at the image aren't there two units under the sheet? The one in the foreground is PL mount, but the one behind it appears to have a different mount (EF presumably?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronChicago Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 If you notice the handle on the top left, with some knobs in front, I think it's just the side profile of the Varicam style body. Lintelfilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Yeah, as-is it's meant to be used in this kind of fashion:Oompf. Won't see me walking around with one of those anytime soon. But now... they've probably optimized the unit and upped the mobility so it can be used in a similar fashion as the Canon C-range, Sony FS, Blackmagic URSA Mini, heck even the AJA Cion and JVC GY-LS300. A proper AF100 spin-off indeed! Combining the AF100 styling and the Varicam tech turning into a significant pro-up from the GH4 and less limiting than the fixed zoom DVX200. Sounds like a sound plan to me! IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I wish the lens were Faster though, like an f2.8 (or f2.0) Zoom, since M4/3rd have issues with low light anyway. And a servo zoom. The M4/3rd range only lacks that IMHO. Panasonic has a 12-35mm f/2.8 and 35-100mm f/2.8 alreadyBut you'll need to keep on swapping back and forth between the two, plus they're expensive to buy both. To make a lens with a great range you will need to increase size and cost substantially, or be a slower f-stop.I'd rather keep the cost low! Thus why I proposed a Panasonic 14-90mm f/4 be created, could be a great little run and gun lens for the AF200 to compete against the likes of a FS7/FS5 or C100/C300 with their 18-105mm f/4 (or 28-135mm f/4) and the 24-105mm f/4Given the existence already of the Nikon 24-120 f/4 for Full Frame and the Sony 18-105mm /f4 for APS-C, I believe a 14-90mm f/4 should be very achievable for the 4/3" sized sensor. sanveer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Looks big to me... F55 size or so. Just think they have got the internal raw and stuff into the main box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsenroc Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I hope panasonic and olympus can come up with zoom lenses with F2.0 just like sigma and Tokina, would be amazing if we have such zoom lens on m43 and bmd cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted January 24, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 24, 2016 It'll be a non-modular version of the S35 I bet, but I don't expect the price to come down too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
