But the the people drooling over your gear is priceless! Yeah I feel you, FS5 quality is not up to par the price you paid, except the slowmo and ergonomics and look pro to clients. (Even then I still have people thinking I am shooting photo, probably because of the lens?) I use C100 II almost everyday, I still shoot MF cause I have seen the camera focus shifting/hunting with it during events when I use AF. I just don't get the praise about Canon AF to be honest, consider if there is many face/crowds on screen the camera have no idea who to follow.

We just finished a MV with GH5 and Zhiyan Crane, using Olympus 12mm f2, Pana 25mm 1.7, Pana 42.5mm 1.7, Voigtlander 17.5mm 0.95, footage look pretty good, shoot everything 4K50P, We did have Sigma Art lens with Speedbooster but doesnt use them at end since it mostly shot on gimbal with few handheld on Voigtlander lens We can change the 3 primes without rebalancing the gimbal which speed up the flow. Having a good gaffer make scene look so much more amazing and higher production value.

Ever since I got IP7+ I dont use cameras much to take photos, I got the smallish A5100 which is excellent photog/vlog camera with good video AF, though I mostly use it for timelapse and astro photography which dont use AF at all. Most of the time I just use the phone, you can get zoom and nice fake bokeh, video quality is pretty decent and always with you. My mate's GF use her rx100iv alot, the a7s has been left in the cabinet pretty much. Pretty sad to see A7S from most used to shelf warmer in few months time.

Not a problems, at work we used C100MKIIs and 5D for photo/timelapse. for my own I use fs5/a6300/a7s/a7rii, though soon will be all panasonic

yeah finally! https://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/premiere-pro-11-1-2-available-today-ciritical-update-highly-recommended/

I think log profile tend to flavor over exposure while non log profile prefer 0, when I shoot with Sony using normal profile (ie not slog) I try to shoot at 0ev or slight under, its quite ugly on the skin tone if over exposed. Here is an example on C100 between standard and log, you loose 2 stops(?) with log profile

wonder what stops them using f2.8 or higher for using AF on video?

Definitely interested on getting one

Yeah, will be great for more demanding clients! C100MKIII with XF-AVC & 4K will be the ideal camera, but who knows when will it come out

Well most filmmaker got variety brand of cameras, they tend to use Canon lens with speedbooster/adapater on Sony/Pana/BM etc so that not a huge concern. Wasn't there some guys say there is no point invest in M43 when you can get FF lens to use on a lot of camera? And native lens only use flybywire which MF is really bad, while Canon lens have proper MF (except STM lens)

Since we have C100MKIIs its only nature to get C200 since they use same battery etc/color etc, RAW will have no use for our company most of the time. (Cover corporate event for whole day and highlight video by next day), 4K is what we need as more client demand 4K now.

I think 95% using MP4 is very realistic, on average we bring in hundreds of GB footage per day in MP4 (sometimes much more if we have lots of shooting at once on difference location), can't image what RAW will gonna bring.. no one is gonna shoot raw on live event/interviews etc.

Mercer is from one man band with low to zero budget production and unlimited time so he have different requirement than most people who do video as full time job and have tight schedule For our company c200 is more preferred since its mostly internal video or YouTube/Vimeo, but for me if I want to be projects to be shown on TV/Netflix EVA1 is more suited for me need. (After using c100 for those boring jobs for sooo long my mindset is set, Canon for boring corporate stuff while sony/pana for exciting projects lol)

Could be next year as there is rumor about A7III coming in nov

Definitely the camera I want for myself! Time to sell a7 and fs5 for this! c200 lack qualifying codec for broadcast is disappointing

If I were construction contractor I m be more willing to do million dollar project then make some garage for someone, just saying

I still don't get why people invest big money on camera only to do low budget stuff, that doesn't make sense economical wise in terms of return from investment. This job I m doing right now is over 10k pay rate, the fourth one this year that are 5 digit budget. Just wish c200 have 422 10bit as some client need those, guess I still have to keep that ninja blade just for this arghh ( at least file format is 422 10bit even though technically it is not 10bit lol)

C200 only record 4:2:0 8bit in mp4 format which is a bummer, no flexible 4:2:2 10bit in reasonable space. 4K raw only can shot 15 minute with 128GB card

Yeah, should be able to upgrade our companies 2 c100mkii to this... with company money haha

$9000, so affordable!

Actor turned director have insight of how actor's head are thinking than someone coming from director's background. I met some people like that and they sure do get some good performance from the actors on stage.

Saw this on fb, looks like Panasonic gonna roll out professional service like cps, definitely good for us using it professionally

Yeah when you have a lot at stack, look at grip hire, traffic management, catering, places availability etc, that a lot of stuff to manage.
