True story; Years ago I was hired to fly to Thailand and follow around the worlds leading Michael Jackson impersonator for a concert tour. If things went well I was going to be hired on to film the rest of the world tour. Everything was super last minute and I had just sold my camera so I ended up going totally minimalistic and grabbing the RX100. I had been using it as a B-Cam for a few months and was pretty comfortable with it but it was still terrifying coming from my rigged out 5Dmkii. At my stopover in Hawaii I learned that the Thai people were protesting and they were marching in the street, the economy was tanking and things were a mess. Concert was cancelled. Ended up flying to Nepal to film some other documentary stuff for a friend and his hemp company for two months. RX100 was a blast to use and I really enjoyed going so minimal up in the mountains. Next trip I bought the GH4 and GX85 (Based on Andrew's articles here) And the RX100 was quickly sold after seeing the image stabilization and the really filmic image of the little GX85 beast.

Hello there, This is my first post after just joining this discussion, so please forgive me and provide kind assistance if I have posted to the wrong subsection. I am new here but a real enthusiast and loving this community so far. I have a background in photography and feel I could help with documentation, at least for starters. As a new member in this forum and wish to share and gain some knowledge. I am looking forward to create my own discussion to resolve my query and gain some knowledge though I have taken part in various discussion which is definitely helped me a lot. Also in what category should be taken depends on what factors? Thank you in advance.

R5 offers 10 and 8 bit 8k since day one (h265 and h264) ALL-I, IPB and IPB Light not only RAW

Was going to say this. The bezels on these camera displays are huge. They could go up to 4" just by reducing those.

Inside https://leica-camera.com/sites/default/files/leica-dlux_8-oss-sourcecode.zip are these compressed files, which appear to be basically just the Linux OS related files (and note the 2017 dates on them):

RED have multiple different OLPF, for example the softer Skintone filter. But at the end of the day it doesn't matter, as the best filter is the lens.

Ha, so am I... But seriously, other than any kind of manufacturer glitch, I think it will do well in it's role. It's getting chucked in at the deep end on Saturday as my sole video unit (this couple have not booked full ceremony or speeches coverage which is covered by my pair of S5II's) and a shame it won't be super-hot weather to really test it. I'm not sure what's going on with the weather this year but it will be the 8th out of 9 weddings in a row where the forecast says great weather 2-3 days either side of the actual wedding day. Only one however had a bit of rain and nothing serious and another was cloudy with a chance of meatballs, but otherwise the forecast has been wrong. It's currently saying 29-34 Celsius each of the 3 days either side and 26 & very cloudy wedding day. I am doing something a bit different however and going back to burning a LUT into the footage. It's a nice clean 'ARRI' job from Phantom and side by side with every other conversion LUT I have tested, by far the best. It just makes editing so much easier than dropping a LUT on every single piece of footage or even dragging an adjustment layer and doing it that way. It worked fine all of last year and I'm not really sure why I went back to not doing it for this, but returning to it and I find it just makes everything easier including exposure when I can see on the LCD (combined with the WFM) fairly accurately what it will look like. I can't remember my in camera hue & sat adjustments however so will need to work that one out again over the next few jobs. And worst case scenario with the S9 if it does not work out for any reason? Easy, a third used S5II. The new Nikon Z6III could probably give it a run for it's money or even beat it, I dunno, - haven't really looked, but for my video needs, the S5II is exceptional. Size, weight, form factor, 2 card slots and can write to both unlike some (Nikon), class leading IBIS (no gimbal required huzzah), 6k 30p Open Gate internal and zero banding shooting it if you use the right settings. And factor in the price, especially used... The S1H is now off on Friday as is the Zf and Z6II. I wish I could keep the S1H and use it for something, but the reality is it would just be a paperweight and gathering dust now as with the pair of S5II's and now the S9, it just does not have a role. A better camera in various aspects, but I'd rather have the cash than it sit on a shelf. The Zf and Z6II were only ever an experiment and 'place holders' in advance of the Z6III and if for any reason, my new (used) Sony A7RV doesn't work out, I think it would be my first and only choice, but nah, 99% certain I have the Sony in hand now and for my purposes, sit's in it's own class all factors considered, at this present time. Glass though... If Sigma make a bigger brother to that 28-45mm f1.8 such as a 50-100, it's game over for my 3x Tamron lenses because as good as they are, the above pairing on an A7RV would be a dream. But as only one of them exists and I like to have things within a system, no plans unless they make a pair. To conclude, as far as I am concerned, I think...I THINK, I'm done for this year and hopefully longer. I genuinely hate jumping around and making changes. I find it extremely painful, but at the same time, there is a balance of tools required for my very specific needs and as I have mentioned many times, there is no manual for what I do so it is very much a trial & error process. I really thought I was starting the year with a set of tools I would not make any adjustments to for the entire season, but as always, the real world stepped in and coughed in my face. This stuff is tried & tested though now (well the S9 is technically 'new', but actually it's the same as an S5II, just with a few limitations that are not limitations for my purposes), especially the Lumix video side, but also the Sony now as I've actually had 8 shooting days with it. I'll shut up now. Just been waiting for my phone to charge 😚

I missed out a setting during the update. I had to uncheck "combine OIS with ES" during setup so the issue is resolved. Happy to report CAF is working with this Metabones update. Now perhaps GH7 users can also try it.

I think the nicest footage out of any Lumix camera was the 5k 30p from the S1R. That thing has a completely different sensor to the rest of the S1/S5 lineup. There was just something about it…
