Some nice looking ML raw lowlight from the 5 years old MKII to remind some of us that we might not need the a7s :P

Exactly. I said the same thing and some idiots were ripping me and saying "plenty of docs" are still shot on a 7D. It's easy to tell which posters shoot for a living and which ones just test cameras for fun.

If the Sony could record for 90 minutes straight, it would be my first choice for archiving lectures and concerts. For now, the GH4 will do fine.

Great work by Kendy! I see that many of his shots have bokeh, so the equipment does matter to some extent. It would be interesting to see what he could do creatively with a small sensor camcorder. I read that he does not use lighting, only ambient. If the scene is dark, he says it adds to the mood, and that lighting would only make it look "fake". He uses no tripod or Steadycam. He doesn't use external audio gear, just "in camera" with a Rode mic. He uses After Effects to edit and grade, and he does it himself. He created his own camera picture style, which he sells on his website for 9 Euros. He has no crew. He has no budget. He is self taught, and only starting filming a few years ago. If this doesn't prove that you can create great things with minimal gear, and no budget, I don't know what will. It's very inspirational. Michael
