kye Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 9 hours ago, Emanuel said: Slowmo modes are actually OOAK for this price range — 9600 pictures in 10 seconds burst of 1080p is something indeed: more than 6 minutes and a half going with 24p, oh well... To this day, it’s still the fastest camera sale I’ve ever made, though. Just look at the number of subscribers on their official YouTube channel. These are numbers and facts. Getting good affordable 960p would be cool for lots of people. I see the science explainer channels showing bad quality 960p and the richer channels with Chronos setups. Don't get me wrong about them not being cameras that appeal to a large number of people. They're very good for getting the new "EVERYTHING IS AWESOME AND WIDE AND SMOOTH AND DEFINITELY SHARP SHARP SHARP!!!!" style of video that looks more like video than anything ever made before, but as soon as they say it's a cinema camera, there are 27 things they have to change from every other model ever made, and to bet they'll get every single one of them right is a very long shot indeed.

eatstoomuchjam Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 On the other hand, looks like Insta360 are leaking images of their own MFT camera... all speculation at this point, but it could also be a viable entry in the "small modern MFT camera" category. https://www.43rumors.com/the-mft-revolution-is-here-first-leaked-images-of-the-insta360-mft-camera/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 All hail Chinese camera menus! : ) A bit hard to beat Blackmagic anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfoundmass Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I mean, the lens mount makes it very adaptable, but not having auto focus seems like a big deal breaker. Emanuel and kye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eatstoomuchjam Posted Monday at 02:15 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:15 PM The Verge posted a 95% useless hands on video where they just kind of show the camera hardware and show it powered on (but with none of their own video), but near the end, they finally get to one of the things I was most interested in - there is indeed an HDMI port (micro HDMI (🤮), but it's better than nothing). Assuming that the latency is decent, maybe this really could be the Super 16 pocket camera that I've been waiting for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Nikolai Posted Monday at 02:43 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:43 PM Seems impressive. Checking out their press release there's some great stuff. It says raw photo saving but only a mention of high bitrate video, not what codec it uses. Lots to love with this one. https://gopro.com/en/us/news/gopro-announces-three-cameras-mission-1-2026 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatstoomuchjam Posted Monday at 03:24 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:24 PM I'd expect 10-bit H.265/HEVC. ProRes isn't impossible, but I'd still think of it as a long shot. I wouldn't place any bets on any form of raw video. But for this form factor and anything that I'd use it for, 10-bit H.265 would be absolutely fine. For me, the two use cases would be a pocketable 16mm-like camera with C mount and D mount lenses - and a super telephoto camera to pair up with an EF mount adapter. With a 2.7-3x crop factor (smaller than normal 1" sensor), the EF 100-400 turns into a like a 280-1120. Will the center of the image circle be sharp enough to resolve a full 8K? Don't care, if it makes a half decent 4K, that'll be plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice try, GoPro, but $699.99 is not as "less than $700" as I meant. So it is in "I'm gonna wait for this to be in the hands of real people" and not "Why the heck not put in a preorder?" territory. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1964095-REG/gopro_mission_1_pro_ils.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcio Kabke Pinheiro Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Kinda interested on this GoMFT - I still like to take stills and video in concerts, and security is an increasing pain in the ass each show. But for me an active mount would be much better - just to power the OIS in the lens that have it, and maybe just a CDAF autofocus. (other option are these new phones with external lens like the Vivo and Oppo ones) Emanuel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kye Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Luc Forsyth likes it, or what he saw at NAB anyway. This is a setup they had with a broadcast servo-zoom lens on it. His comments (link with timestamp) He's worked on the survival show Alone for a few seasons and they use dozens of GoPros, but the footage always looks like it came from a GoPro This new model with a proper lens attached looked like footage from a real camera The broadcast zoom setup (with a phone as a monitor) handled like a proper camera He doesn't use AF when rigging cameras to vehicles etc most of the time so the lack of AF doesn't bother him in that context eatstoomuchjam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
