  1. The Canon EF-S 10-18 does not work with the S5. You can see the barrel of the lens with that lens on the S5. I was going to use that lens for real estate work since I already had it for a Canon Rebel T6S and I discovered it does not work. I ended up getting a 24mm F2.8 instead. I also have a 16-35mm F4.0 but its a bit big and heavy for gimbal work. I don't shoot much real estate these days since real estate agents in my area have continued to refuse to pay more despite the fact everything else is costing more, but if I still shot a lot of real estate I would probably get the Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM for the S5. With that lens at 4K30FPS it would be 14mm and at 4K60FPS it would still be a 21mm. Turns out it was something wrong with the camera. I sent it in for repair and got to experience Panasonic's repair service first hand. No status, no information, nothing at all, but 3wks later it showed up fixed. The shutter button was also sticking and they fixed that as well. Nothing more infuriating than a sticking shutter button when you are trying to half press to focus.

  2. LOL ; ) I wish... Good to know there are still dreamers either be Coppola or creators like Tonino Guerra who adopted the trend from day one. I try to imagine Michelangelo Antonioni today : ) This brand has accomplished such route more than any other one ever, so far. Love their cameras and the industry concept behind their business model. They try to satisfy both sides of the equation, those who are here more prone for the sake of their art. And those who have to make a living from. Without any silly miniaturization complex as their Pocket 6K Pro launch easily proves it. I contact everyday with youngsters, well, not exactly from 10 to 16 : D but at their early age and course of life and career, trying to get their place in the sun over this difficult craft. And I see this manufacturer as one of the few to seriously think, focus and implement a solid path where a business plan towards so hard target is viable beyond the project phasis per se as well. The first manufacturer to put the art in front of it. I just have to salute their commitment, then kudos to them! My respect and love, - EAG :- )

  3. The two native ISOs of the camera are 400 and 3200 so you could argue that if you are shooting BRAW in the camera's "cinema mode" then the only two gain values that you need to memorise are 0dB and +18dB. I don't think this completely negates the argument for displaying ISO values though (when using an external meter for incident readings being an obvious example) so it would be a useful and simple switchable option to include. The Ursa 4.6K and 12K (as well as the P4K/P6K of course) use ISO so it looks like a bit of a continuity error in that respect to market it as having a cinema camera element and then have it be different to those. Obviously, it won't stop you exposing the image correctly as there are more than enough exposure tools built in anyway but it would be simple enough to remedy in a firmware update. Irrespective of the nomenclature, though, it looks like a great all round camera.
