Yeah it is super noisy, much worse than GH4, I can never do 2x crop from RX10II's 4K footage because it is soft and noisy unlike GH4 or NX1's 4K which still holds up after cropping. (for indoors) but its a good cam for slowmo, 120p unlimited with sound is pretty nice, 250p is super fun except the focus bug is super annoying. You can punch in while recording to check focus so I am ok with peaking not as good as GH4.

If they release Lumix version its an instant buy from me, I love the ergonomics and ease of use from Panasonic, and they dont hitch the price up like sony do

For traveling I just take RX10 II, leave my A7S and GH4 at home lol. After some crazy shooting with primes back in the days I am now a zoom man again. For that price I rather take A7R II ($2699 brand new on ebay) and 35mm f2.8 or 28mm f2.0 lens, consider none of them are small enough to fit the pocket anyway. And if I am really keen to have FF P&S with money I rather spend another extra grand and get the real Leica Q instead. At least they wont release new model every year, plus that 3.6million dot EVF is world ahead of others.

Man I guess the codec used by DJI is not as good as Panasonic/Sony, Sony also uses XAVC-S 60Mbps for 4K but it doesn't seem that bad?

Going to ditch pilotfly for this combo (hopefully they come with X5 bundle), I can finally leave the A7s to 28-135mm permanently lol Hopefully they will add more lens in the future, like 25mm/42.5mm/45mm lens, with wireless focus you can get some impressive follow focus on the go with nice bokeh background

Remember more lens support will be added in the future, so the 25mm and 42.5mm/45mm fast prime will make it relevant, and especially with this handheld for zenmuse camera

does that mean the password get stolen too?..

The MN34231 in the E-M1 is a variation of the GH4's MN34230 chip, even though on die itching it said MN34230 on the E-M1 sensor, but the rest of the spec should be the same (4K capable, high speed recording)

E-M1 seems to have less moire/aliasing than E-M5 II since it uses GH4 sensor, even though bitrate is not high. The sensor on E-M5 II is the same as E-M5 which is not really for video.. But E-M5 II with flat profile would be easier for color matching/grading though, with E-M1 have that too

Laughing my ass off, I have shot with RED/BMCC/BMPCC, A7s definitely have more DR than BM's 13 stop , I have encountered some scene (pretty extreme condition) which BM get blown but still fine on A7s. I originally thought Sony probably have usable 12stops dr after reading "online test" but after seeing the actual footage me and DOP agreed A7s do have more DR than BM.

You still have to folk out at least $2000 for the battery, battery module and charger as it only come with AC adapter module

It didn't do Prores in 4K, so much for 4K4All.

You have to get their SSD, back in Red ONE days if you use non-red cf card you are restricted to 2K and up to 60fps, no 4K instead of 120fps in 2k and 4k.

And it is in EF mount so you can't add speedbooster anyway

Won't work, with GH2 (1.86x in video crop) the sigma 18-35mm and 11-16mm show vignetting on wide side.

So the sensor size is between APS-C and M43 sensor (similar size to Sigma Foveon sensor) That means you lose the wide angle part a bit as it will be 1.7x crop size instead of 1.5x

With gimbal you can zoom in and zoom out and it still hold position, they are less sensitive in weight distribution compare to steadicam. And for the lens if they are similar weight the motor can tolerant some difference, I can change from UW lens to 50mm prime to 24-70mm lens on the go without tweaking the PID setting, the downside with not perfectly balanced setup is they eat more battery.

1. it cost $2795 brand new 2. it take months and years to get it right 3. still have to tweak it here and there. 4. big and heavy, inconvenient to go anywhere, especially if travel "light" vs gimbal 1.cost $800 new 2.weight much less as no counter weight needed 3.once set you dont have to tweak again

it's just day two, slog2 also have ugly noise at +0 ev I like the color from vlog already, doesn't have orange/plastic looking people of Cine D but I do think an external recorder is what vlog really need

More like user error, quite a lot of user were disappointed with slog2 on a7s, the noise is too much compare to other profile unless you +1/+2ev over. I can get more DR on 4:2:0 XAVC-S than 4:2:2 10bit on bmpcc on a couple occasion, that 14dr really makes difference.

Better late than never! With the focus stacking for macro photography and 24/25p it get my interest again, since e-m1 is so much more affordable now! Beside it uses GH4 sensor no wonder video quality is better than E-M5 II's Sony sensor.

Never thought 12-35mm would look this filmic!

4:2:2 8bit
