Going for today's small chip low-fi digital look, just as they did with the original 28 Days Later in the 90s. https://www.wired.com/story/28-years-later-danny-boyles-new-zombie-flick-was-shot-on-an-iphone-15/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28_Years_Later https://theasc.com/magazine/july03/sub/index.html But then... what's with the huge cine lenses on the front?

From the perspective of using it with an ATEM, this camera is stupendously good. With the ATEM MINI ISO, you do your live stream with the cameras (and have full remote control over everything in it), and it saves your switching as a project file for Resolve. Afterwards you load the file into Resolve, get your full switcher performance back (which you can then tweak) and automatically replace all the video elements with the 4K BRAW files from the cameras. It is fantastic. Imagine then not adding a Bluetooth capability to let the camera be operated remotely without the ATEM. It’s not like you are then offering a free lunch as if you want all the extra capability that the ATEM offers then you need to buy an ATEM anyway.

Wrong presumption by me. Dont get why you can’t control it over the SDI port let alone the HDMI port. Its just weird choices they’ve made here. This is the only viable solution for external control. I’m getting this camera next month for use with ATEM but there is development scope there for me to make an interface for external control by that method. I’ll let you know.

Altcine has a free solution for the buttons (if you have a 3-d printer). https://altcinecam.com/product/bmmcc-buttons/ I’ve put some bumper pads on the rec and power-button to locate without looking. I also made a up/down-button on my own that I cut from rubber-material.

I recommend looking into the American DJ brand. When I researched years ago ADJ kept coming up as a high quality brand, I ended up getting one of their machines and its now about 10yrs later and it still works like the day I got it. Size wise, I recommend getting a decent size, you can always turn it down or use less dense fog liquid, but if you ever need to use it in a place that has a draft or one day want to use it outdoors you will appreciate the additional capacity. I have used mine for studio work, music videos, and other projects.

The S1H is really special, I got a photog friend uses it mostly for photo and some videos, he also had dab with Sony for a while but back to Pana S1H for everything he do.

I have one. The buttons. They are designed simply to irritate me. They succeed. Far too small with little feedback. I’ve actually packed mine away to sell on but I might get chance to answer your question over the eeekend. It’s such a super concept. But, at least for me, entirely unusable. I got a FX30 to “replace” it.

I would go for a second hand E-M1 II over either of those. They are very cheap now and in some ways even better than the OM-1. The sensor readout is more detailed in 4K. The E-M10 III shoots 4K whereas E-M5 II shoots absolute mud. It was dodgy in video mode even for 2014 standards! If you absolutely can't justify an E-M1 II for 100 bucks more, the E-M10 III is the one to get. Canon Rp is a disaster, stay away from that for video. It feels awful to use and crops like hell.
