I really hope is like this, a R5 with a vent, hope they keep the same swivel screen.... I don't want to go back to 1D style of bodies and weight.

Simplistic tough talk and hyperbole fill this apparent announcement page. No doubt the marketing person who wrote this is a thoroughly experienced shooter.

I hope so. None that I know of that are for ILC cameras. A few for high-end video surveillance/industrial uses.

Ha, ha, ha! I think that you have "defied the moment!"

Actually, I have only changed kit fundamentally twice, in a 22 year career. Or brands anyway… I started out with Nikon film cameras and switched to Nikon digital sometime around 2004/5. When the X100 was announced, I knew it was something I was looking for, went to a trade show, handled it, preordered and received one of the first to land in the UK. Took it the very next day to my first wedding of the year and loved it to bits. OK the only battery I had died just prior to the ceremony, but the Fuji bug had bitten. The following year, 2011 (?) the X Pro1 arrived and I bought the entire system available at the time comprising 2 bodies plus 3 lenses and sold all my Nikon gear. Stuck with Fuji all the way through until the end of 2019 but at that point it was not quite cutting it anymore for my needs… The XT3 was near perfect, but the lack of IBIS was killing it for my needs. The XT4 was but a rumor, though a likely one. 2020 started and heading towards Spring and a new wedding season, I had zero kit as I’d sold it all off knowing the set up I had was not what I would be using in 2020. But, there was nothing else out there ticking enough boxes other than the about to be launched XT4, so I preordered a pair and a couple of lenses. Alas, it was not to be as enter Covid. 30 weddings became 1. I bought some used kit for that single job and then knowing there would be no further work for another 9 months, immediately sold it. Panny S5 is announced and although a very immature system at the time, to me was a slightly ‘better’ XT4 equivalent. Bought one, as my sole camera, with the kit lens. Liked it a lot, but needed more kit. Bought a used S1H at just over 2k. Loved it. Bought a used S1R from a colleague for 1.5k. Love it. Not as much as the S1H, but slightly more than the S5. I ended up shooting 5 last year from what should have been 30 weddings, growing this system as the short 6 week ‘season’ unfolded. I now have a near ‘perfect’ set up for me based on what is available today and within a certain budget. Could I do it with Leica? Nope, the cost and lack of a tilting screen kills it for me. Nikon? Nope. Not unless I wished to go backwards or rig up for video needs and I wish to do neither. Canon? R5 stills + R6 video could and would work but even selling all my current kit, I’d be looking at 10k+ to find. And after the last 2 years, I don’t have it. Ditto Sony. An A7iv system could work, but again, a 10k+ cost to change and for what advantage? I know I wouldn’t care for it so much as a system and enjoyment is part if my job. M4/3? No, briefly flirted with it for both video and stills and whilst for video it was OK, I shoot a lot of low light and it doesn’t cut it for my needs. Fuji? An XT4 system would work but again, nothing compelling enough to switch from the system I currently have. And if Covid had not come along? I’d still be with Fuji for sure and would not have cancelled that XT4 preorder… The bottom line for me is that these are just tools at the end of the day, but tools I wish to enjoy using. In a normal year, the total cost is approx 5% of my annual turnover so trading and switching bodies or lenses within a system from time to time is neither here nor there! But right now it’s: S1H for primarily handheld or monopod video. S1R for dedicated stills. S5 for gimbal and static tripod video. That’s my ‘defense’ anyway 😜

I hope they didn't pay someone a ton of money to design that webpage! They probably did. 😬

It's illegal to talk about Panasonic and mention anything other than their poor AF. This is your first and only official warning.

I've got no interest in the camera to be honest but I'd just like to say that its always good to see the democracy manifest fella making an appearance in any video.

Dolla dolla bills y'aaalllll
