Don’t know whether you saw, but I added a comment to my post. Choosing between the a7 III and the Pocket is going to be a more difficult decision for me to make. Between the GH5 and the Pocket is a no-brainer. Keep in mind, if and when I start making short films, they’re not going to be playing at the cinema - just on my desktop!

Aside from the fact I wasn’t referring to the GH5 when I wrote my comment (think about it - Panasonic doesn’t even have DPAF!), the rest is pretty much correct. edit It’s actually the a7 III that I’m going back and forth on, but I’ll probably wait until Sept. to make up my mind.

If asking whether scotchtape is using Sony batteries and stating a fact that dozens of reviewers who attended the Sony event who later uploaded reviews saying there was no overheating is picking a fight, I really can’t help you.

I merely asked scotchtape if he was using original batteries. I don’t see why I should have to search through YT when I’ve already seen half a dozen reviews. What’s your point?

Thanks, I’ll pass.

Not a single reviewer who attended the launch and subsequently did a review mentioned overheating afaik. Or rather, they tested the camera and found it did not overheat. Are you using original batteries?

I’d say you should probably see a dermatologist about that you little troll.

The Sigma Art 50mm f/1.4 and 85mm f/1.4 for Sony E-mount should be available next month, making the a7 III look even more tempting.

I think you called yourself that. I didn't call anybody anything.

Sony Venice. I love the grading, too.

It sounds like nobody can question anything at all about the camera, and it hasn’t even been released. If it had dual pixel autofocus, would you also take a pass? a long life Panasonic battery? Or are you in Frank Glencairn’s camp - only sissies complain about battery life?

The Olympus 45mm f/1.2 PRO is a killer lens.

Nobody said anything about using anything all the time, John. And I don’t know anyone who thinks IBIS is a replacement for a slider.... do you? Edit: earlier you said IS was problematic on tracking shots, now you’re saying you used it successfully on a tracking shot...

so deep. maybe cut back on the boozing...

IBIS worked well enough for your video of Hula expert Roxanna shot with Olympus. At the time you had this to say: One of the main reasons I like shooting Olympus so much in this platform is that their stabiliser is really world class. And the best thing is that because it’s built into the body itself, any lens you mount on their can be turned into a stabilised lens. Any vintage lens, and cinema lens I happen to adapt. Or the wonderful new APO primes from SLR Magic. Curiously, no mention at all of IBIS only being good for locked off shots - if that were the case, it would be of no use whatsoever. Unfortunately, mirrorless cameras are more prone to jitters than heavy cinema cameras, so IBIS comes in pretty handy. It also helps enormously to iron out the wriggles in gimbal shots, as demonstrated in numerous videos online. Which is the reason I like IBIS so much - it turns my Veydras into stabilized lenses that can be handheld at eqiuvalent focal lengths of 238 mm, allowing me to shoot in places where a tripod or gimbal would either be forbidden or attract too much attention. Just in case anyone misunderstands, I could care less whether the Batcam’s got IBIS or not. And I’m thrilled it’s not going to have functioning AF-C either, because, as Mr Glencairn rightly points out, true cinematographers don’t need that shit.

Don’t worry, sry I ever suggested a 5” external monitor. Enjoy your life!

You are talking crap now. But it sounds like Thpriest is already sold on the idea of a C100, so I’m out of here.

You down vote someone for stating a fact now? Even with a monitor, a GH5 and lens combo will be significantly lighter and smaller in volume than a kitted out C100.

You are joking, right? A 5” monitor suddenly makes the GH5 unwieldy? In fact, it is quite compact, even for a 61 year-old who never goes to the gym!

Who shoots without a lens? ?? And the two Canons weigh the same!
