Hey, Panasonic! Please give us RAW HDMI out.

Full size HDMI is big.

Atlas Orions. hehe

AF is for noobs. ?

No more garbage plastic looking footage! ?

Atomos is encouraging all of us to request RAW HDMI out from the manufacturers. That’s the only way they’re going to offer it, if at all.

The 1080p version is still on sale for $995 at their website. ?

This thing is going to go into serious backorder mode.

5”, 4K 60p, 1,000 nits - Atomos is killing it!

At least now I won’t have to buy a whole new set of lenses.

Menu system is awesome, is it not?

The Pocket is getting prettier by the minute. ?

take my money! ?

I think the GH5 has the best codec in the sub $2,.000 range, and skin tones are great. But we haven't seen the new Pocket, so I guess we'll have to wait and see...

That would make lens selection easier, no?

@Charlie So what are your questions? hehe

I guess lenses aren't forever after all. The Olympus 45mm f/1.2 PRO is rocking my world, and I don't regret for an instant trading in my Nocticron. Some may still prefer the Nocticron for dual IBIS, but I've never encountered a situation with non-stabilized lenses where the camera's own IBIS, or that of a brushless gimbal, wasn't good enough. I've even shot with the Veydra 85mm with ETC mode enabled and the GH5's IBIS allowed me to shoot handheld with no camera shake. Some still believe that the Leicas have a magical 3D pop, which may be a combination of color rendering, the way it renders out-of-focus areas and micro-contrast, as well as high resolution, but I'm not seeing it - or rather, I don't see it as exclusive to any one brand. Practically any good lens today, whether it's Zeiss, Fujinon or Sony, can deliver exceptionally three dimensional images. Sigma's 16mm f/1.4 has also displaced my seldom used Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95. From f/1.4 onward, it pretty much kills the Voigtlander in virtually every regard, and not only in resolution. I do like fast primes, but when we're talking f/0.95, it's a case of seriously diminishing returns. Wide open, the Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95 loses as much as 68% of it's brightness at the corners due to vignetting, the Sigma, 24% at the edges wide open. And both the Sigma and the Olympus render out-of-focus areas beautifully. Perhaps the one word that comes to mind when thinking about the Noktons is 'character' - but I believe the Sigma 16mm has plenty to go around. Which is probably one of the reasons why it was on the list of many photographers' best-of lenses earlier this year.

@kye Simultaneous SDR and HDR grading? I wonder how that works. hmmm

That's gotta be the homeliest design I've ever seen.

@Lux Shots Yep, there are a bunch of parameters to set or to consider setting. I don’t have the camera in front of me at the moment, but in addition to the three transition points, you’ve got some five transition speeds, the choice of starting recording the transitions automatically or manually and a self-timer as well. Although I now realize it’s possible to use the touch screen for AF when setting the points, I strongly advise against it on the GH5. When shooting with the Olympus 45mm f/1.2 PRO for example, the DOF is really thin wide open and it is impossible to know whether AF is focused on a lock of my model’s hair, the bridge of her nose, or on her pupils. I think my images are sharper (ie, correctly focused) more often now that I’ve been focusing manually. If you’re using a small tripod and timing isn’t critical, I’d probably recommend using the self timer to eliminate the possiblity of camera shake. I’m going to give it a shot on my next outing anyhow.

And it turns out that the NiSi enses are themselves most likely re-housings of the Bokkelux cine primes, which were to be manufactured in Taiwan. These things sometimes play out like detective stories. There are a bunch of tests of the Bokkelux lenses online. Their own website merely says that their project is dead. Here are some samples:

You can see a slight shake, so it pays to use a good tripod or to use a light touch when pressing the LCD screen.

@BTM_Pix You're killing it today.

@mercer It's all good.
