@kye yes it covers it in 4K mode and in 4K photo mode. 16to9 with slighty dark corners. Love this lens, colour rendition is fantastic and threedimensionalty is terrific. Little lens was recommended to me by our friend mercer.

@mercer S35 has a faster sensor readout, 15ms vs 22ms. 4K 50/60p is 10bit 420. S35 is still even using a bit more than a 1to1 readout I think. It´s a powerful image taker but takes some effort in grading. I have a S1, same sensor and all, just no swivel screen and full Hdmi. S35 gives me the opportunity to use some s16 lenses covering S35 sensor size.

Music video of old familiar track shot on S5 4K V-Log 10-Bit 4:2:2 shot with 20-60 kit lens. AF didn't wander. Camera is small & light and powerful. Great shooting experience.

According to this: https://www.cined.com/panasonic-lumix-s5-lab-test-rolling-shutter-dynamic-range-and-latitude/ 21ms rolling shutter in FF mode and 10.5ms in APS-C mode! The S5 is not a bad APS-C camera at all! 😜

I assume this has been discussed, but I don't have time to read the entire thread... Are there any advantages/disadvantages to the S5's S35 mode? Is 4K 60p relegated to the S35 crop? Is it 10bit? Thanks!

Yeah, CIZ is good to 1.5x, I never go past it as IQ does noticeably degrade. I didn't take that into consideration, sometimes I forget its there LOL! I have that and s35 mode it on custom function buttons for quick punch ins. But you lose tracking and the ability to place your focus point with CIZ - so all you get is wide AF. But it can be handy since it doesn't impact IQ in any significant manner and it doesn't cut resolution like s35 mode with stills. To answer your questions, I'm wider than 35mm a lot. I had the Tamron 28-75 and sold it for another 24-70 because I frequently needed it to be a tad wider. I change lenses less now. When I'm shooting I usually have the the UWA or a 24-70 on one and the 70-180/200 on the other body and then switch things up if needed. I even have a 24 and 35 primes because I like that range a lot. I really wish Sony would do a better 28 so I could consolidate both, its a happy medium for me. But utilizing the CIZ with 150mm on the long end effectively negates the shorter range in many situations. I have glass beyond 200mm too, but that's a specialty lens that's not in my daily carry. I'm pretty sure a high IQ UWA zoom and the 35-150 would work well for the way I shoot, and for a small chunk of that range I'd get a bit more light gathering than the 24-70. I *think* I'd be more efficient being able to use the zoom and crop options to extend the reach. We'll see. I'm in no hurry to sell off a bunch of gear and buy two new zooms, despite the fact new stuff is fun. I'll probably rent the Tamron for a long weekend and tinker or wait for used copies to start popping up on Fred Miranda and get one at a bit of a discount. I've also been looking at the Freewell magnetic VND's and such to further simplify my kit while staying versatile. Right now I have screw on filters and a 100mm filter holder with a bunch of filters I don't use very much because of the time it takes to setup. I always just wind up using my VND's, even for landscape photos and such - which I shouldn't do since I have the big/little stoppers, a CPL and a few ND grads with that NISI system. But its hard to be more run and gun fumbling with large glass plates. Cheers Chris

Raw is cute, but I’m still completely hung up on any flavor I can’t use in Resolve… like, what’s the point of Raw outside of a good piece of color software? I can’t remember why, but I popped into FCPX for some reason the other day, and as far as I could tell, it doesn’t even let you set a custom project resolution 🤦🏻‍♂️ BMD baffles me. They either need to accept that they don’t want their codec to be the industry standard, and by extension, add support for ProRes Raw into Davinci… or they need to push/allow other manufacturers to put BMRaw in their cameras. Doing neither seems straight idiotic, but here we are.

I think I’ve seen aliasing on a brick wall shooting 60p to an external recorder. Real world use, not sure I’ve ever seen it.

@PannySVHS I heard that you have the GX85 and Fujinon 12.5mm f1.4 lens. Is this right? Does the fuji cover the GX85 in 4K mode? I'm eying off an eBay auction, but want to confirm it's a good option before buying one.

Being able to import view LUTs and bake one in would be spectacular, on any camera. I really see the C70 as a Get It Done camera for people who are quietly pumping out projects one after another.

Nobody has an A7IV, it hasn't released yet. Here was a thread here about it: https://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/56655-sony-a7-iv/

Yes. And if one is willing to use the gyroscopic stabilization method, it is supposed to be great. But there seems to be a few compromises (using faster shutter speeds and you can't batch process clips unless you upgrade to the paid version of Sony Catalyst).
