Ulanzi CA25, mine is the older version with suction cup, the new version with spring buckle fixed the suction cup not holding the fan well after certain time.

I think it could be hardware issue (LSI?), so nothing that the software can fix

Just finished a 5 day indian wedding shoot, so far the only time it overheated was when I forgot to turn the external fan on. (Shooting 4k25p all day, and it's summer here atm) I also did 1 and half hour interview in 3.8k opengate, that was without the fan but indoor, but towards the end I do see the overheating icon popping up.

Hopefully it have 3.5mm audio plug that G1Xiii was really missing it

My friend's daughter bought the kodak p&s and loving it for the retro feel lol.

S9 have PDAF in 1080p60 FF mode.. if you only shoot 4k most of the time then S5II is the better deal. But for some people aethestic is quite important too.

Lumix s5ii/S5iiX got new firmware, basically all the features on S9 is on S5ii/X now except pdaf at 1080p60

I would get their 28mm f4.5 body cap lens for sure, perfect match to S9!

This guy should be banned from doing business

Thanks! Might explore gaming and VR related stuff, one of the non-profit religion group I m working with have teaching in VR, that was quite a cool experience.

Well said! It's all about how you want to live your life! I just send my resignation letter recently to a 9-5 job in a production company, I m going back to freelancing (but not actively pursuing jobs), I want this year to be me exploring options, not just limited to video side.

I wonder how much it cost to build those set.

I wonder does shutter close when shut down contribute to this issue, I know on Sony people have been recommending not to close shutter when shut down to keep their life longer. I myself mostly use the R7 for video so it's not like I take photos a lot, even if I do take photos it is mostly electronic shutter anyway.

Start using the S9 yesterday, I really dig the LUT implantation on Panasonic, quite intuitive actually. The 3.8k opengate 50mbps to keep file size small is a huge plus over 200mbps 6.2k opengate for quick social edits on ur phone

Just got the S9 from airport, that 15% discount on tax on top of promo discount is pretty good value, and given it is only NZ$100 more for the 20-60 kit so I got this combo instead of the 18-40 which cost $1000 more 😂 ( another ridiculous pricing from Pana) I m thinking getting the Meike 35mm F2, should go well with 20-60mm.

I see they use a few dozen R5C for handheld cam, wonder why they decide not keep it all Sony?

Bought a S9 and gonna use it to do a tribute video of my mum while she is still in good shape this holiday.

I do like Lumix's prime lens and some zoom is using the same 67mm filter (except 1.4), and similar size and weight make hotswap on gimbal/filter much more convenient Meike does make the entry level L mount lens with their 85/50/35mm f1.8/f2 lens, I hope there is a 24mm coming from them.

I was interested on the S9 but the initial launch was so lackster with stupid recording limitation and f8 manual pancake that really extinguished my desire But now with the 18-40 and recording limit removed it is on the table again.. and they have some special which is not bad, but then the used S5II is still tempting too, except no pdaf in 1080p50/60 which is dumb as I do still use that sometimes.

But Pana have the 10-25 and 25-50 1.7 zoom, it is quite nice for sure. My friend got those for his 2 GH6.

It's weird u feel no mojo for Panasonic colour, I was dropping my mouth when I edit footage from GH6 to my Canon and I was like I actually prefer Panasonic colour more. I was rocking with FX3, FX30 and E1 earlier this year, but all sold and only just got E10II recently cause it was cheap, back to mostly Canon now but still thinking of getting Panasonic in the future I guess if u stick with one brand all these u might try other stuff to see if glass was greener on other side, I was on R5 all those years but last year decide to give Sony a try again being A7iii was my last Sony.

No desqueeze and no ibis specific support for anamorphic for s3 and e1, Fx3 got anamorphic desqueeze (2.0x and 1.3x) since ver 2.0, Sony's ibis is weak anyway so that one doesn't matter. And no opengate for all those Sony.

l recently acquired a used E10II for the same price as new E10, which I think is a much more reasonable price now that X-M5 had come out with better feature (OG, mechanical shutter) and quite bit cheaper than new E10II price. E10II's new price is nearly double the E10 in where I live.. that is so nut! First thing is image is exactly like the FX30, so much better than E10 especially the 1080p which I feel is 720p upscale.

Yeah man, GX9 was their greatest compact cam... and they abandoned it completey. They definitely have the tech to do a XM5 that is for sure If I hadn't got x100vi I will be really considering this cam, perfect for social

This is so good, I m pretty sure any camera in his hand will turn cinematic.
