Stormtrooper is limited "beta" release, the full production Komodo is coming

Oz can choose between the Sigma lens or XLR adapter

You see those 4 pin on top? That what connect to S5, while older cam connect to other other 4 pin on the opposite side.

GH5 and older cam can use the new S5 battery, but not vice versa, cause S5's battery have a separate pin

Just saw we also have this promo too, this paired with 20-60mm is good enough for starter.

Look pretty promising, didn't realise Sony AF slow down quite a bit with HDMI out .

Competition is good for us consumers! Wonder did Sony hold it off because of RF cinema cameras? Like they hold off a7s3 cause of R5

Mostly follow the local fb group i am in, there are some good advice there as people tend to share their findings and research (and some bad ones too though, so choose wisely). I do it as long term investment instead of playing for short term, so minor dips dont worry me much. Since bank interest is so low so and gonna be that way for a few years there is no point put money in the bank unless u buying a house or something. I didn't watch youtube as they are like any other youtuber...

wasnt there a FS7 with odyssy 7q+ sold for NZ$6100 2 weeks a ago, and FS5 with Raw upgrade for NZ$2800 recently

From the FB group seems like there is firmware coming for S1 with improved AF and other stuff..? So oldie is not forgotten. Man I hope those 1.8 are $499 or less, $1000 is definitely on the high side.

Yeah I just put in the some of the money I earned into it, not borrowing from bank to play with it, so worst case scenario is it might turn to pile of paper but at least my other asset are still fine. Some other people can go super crazy about it though.

I think its better to hold what you have now and buy gear next year, no point to spend more if your earning is taking a hit.

lol I wish! Usually jobs for bigger name company they trust production company with team members more than 1 man band.. all about perception i guess? My personal side job just few hundreds a day on the weekends, though this year due to covid I dont have much vs last year The company has lost $x0,000 of sales due to covid this year ugh. (lots of canned event shoot)

Well it's a company job, so have to pay wages to staff, pay rents for studio , pay electricity etc, different than work from home.

It's all totally depend on user situation, if you are one man band or only have 1 camera surely A7siii is more better, but if you are in production house with lots of existing gear then it is another situation. If we can still get 10k job with 8bit camera then why not..? lol But we should be really discussing S5 not Canon.

yeah i missed on zoom, but happy with my return so far guess stock is my new drug now instead of new gears 😅 hopefully i can use the earnings to buy new gear some time next year, this year is pretty crap for video jobs.

I m waiting for RF cinema cam with the c200 sensor for $3500, that will match c200 perfectly. (same sensor, same log, much smaller size)

S5 have full Vlog which is same as clog3 DR wise, DR on the S1 is a lot better than GH5s or clog1.., not just a bit.

reply to myself, 40% increase on zoom stock today, instead of spending $7000 on komodo pre-order but on zoom stock yesterday, you gained around $2800 in a day

New Macbook with Apple Silicon coming end of this year, should solve performance problem that current state of art monster PC do 🤣 https://www.macrumors.com/2020/08/31/12-inch-macbook-apple-silicon-this-year/

gone already, almost bought it but with current economic situation better to buy shares lol.

Stormtrooper available for pre-order on B&H

Or $3500 with C200 sensor in the similar body as C70.

I hope Sirui can release their Anamorphic lens on L mount someday.. that will be nice for a compact anamorphic setup.

Man definitely looked tempting, those Canon overheating gave me a huge pause.
