Pre installed V Log means I have my fingers crossed it will have 10 bit?? Perfect timing for my birthday! Holy crap, really, two cards? Makes me worry for what its price will be! :-o

Indeed, I used to see Z Cam as a cheaper alternative to Panasonic, then they shifted to kinda be an alternative to BMD? And now they're looking to go head to head with Kinefinity?? Kinda funny that two F6 got announced this week which are very good value! One from Zoom, and one from Z Cam (ha!!! They both start with "Z" as well) I hope so too! But it is looking unlikely..

No locking connection and short battery life, just on those two points alone it is wildly inappropriate for a professional soundie. Massive dealbreakers. However I expect Rode will still sell tonnes and tonnes of these to youtubers/hobbyists/students/etc They did at least address my #1 criticism (although not my only one) of the RodeLink: it is ridiculously BULKY!

Just walk up and ASK people! Ask them what is their story

Nope. This news came out just a few hours ago.

BUT WHY? How do you need need it? Yet almost nobody does fast jerk pans like that in real life while making a film. So it doesn't matter. (or at the very least matters *LESS* than things like dynamic range or low light)

Fantastic news! This certainly is making a secondhand Sony FS700 even more tempting with this very compact external recorder. I just wish this new AtomX SDI also included the functionality of the AtomX Sync as well, to give the FS700 timecode. https://www.newsshooter.com/2019/04/03/atomos-adds-sdi-module-to-the-ninja-v/ https://www.provideocoalition.com/atomos-atomx-sync-audio-and-video-syncing-issues-are-a-thing-of-the-past/

A GH5 at half its price is music to my ears!

The BMPC4K is indeed dirt cheap, but the URSA Mini 4K with the "same" ("improved") sensor is barely a few pennies more on eBay. (but then it is a slippery slope... why not instead the much much better UM4.6K original? Or the UMP? etc etc)

Yeah I noticed that "coincidence"! You do wonder if BMD was waiting for the EF patent to expire. But if so, I wish they had not! And instead had just leaped straight to making the BMCC MFT! Imagine if we had got that a couple of years earlier? :-o

It feels like people have been for years promising that when the a7S mk3 comes out then it "will kill all other cameras under $X"!! And yet.... we've yet to see it get released. And neither the a7S mk1 or a7S mk2 came anywhere near to "killing the competition". Exactly! I suspect this mythical a7S mk3 when released will be "better" than the BMPCC4K in a few ways, but definitely not all! The P4K will still be better in some areas. We're not going to see that happen in ten years time. 3D printing has been promising to revolutionize our worlds, and it will.... but not to that extent, and definitely not in that time frame. (not unless you're meaning printing very basic parts like the camera shell, but really 95% is coming from eBay. And even then... I highly doubt it could be really better value than what a company with economies of scale could do)

I hope in the future as the VFX tools we have at hand get better and as crew awareness increases then we'll be able to happily have booms in shot much more often for the sake of improved sound. This is already common place on many shoots such as "House of Cards", and advancing VFX technology will lead to an expansion of situations booms can be put into shot. https://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/adobe-releases-content-aware-fill-tool/ https://www.jldiaz.com.ar/lectura-en.php?name=houseOfCards

Why? It is big and heavy, with less DR and worse lowlight than the newer cameras. And you realize that for 95%+ of people that global shutter is less important than they think?

I certainly love how much interaction they're having with all sorts of people on social media, my worries though are: 1) a few loud voices can sway them in going in perhaps the wrong direction for the overall market (for instance their first focus for them after the E2 was in making a global shutter camera, not a good pick in my opinion) 2) their prices seem to be going up and up and up..... soon they will no longer be a cheaper alternative to Panasonic MFT cameras, but instead they'll be competing directly with Kinefinity. And I'd hope they don't overlap like that. Is better for there to be two Chinese companies which have one targeted at (cheaper) high end cameras, and the other one targeting (cheaper) mid/low end affordable cameras. It helps they seem to be basing them all on the same general "E2" platform / body. But with different sensors/mounts. Their are cages made specifically for the E2

But watch out for Egyptian dentists! I certainly would never ever recommend there....

Kinefinity is on a roll!

Just buy yourself a Canon ME20F-SH: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1187825-REG/canon_1002c002_me20f_sh_multi_purpose_camera.html At only US$20K, anybody can afford a couple of them!

The a7S mk2 successo r is here at last!

There is light at the end of the tunnel, as for when finally all this Sony fanboyism will be drawing to a close! Because Sony is withdrawing from the camera business: https://photorumors.com/2019/04/01/sony-gives-up-and-quits-camera-business-ceo-says-they-can-no-longer-compete-with-nikon-and-canon/ “how can people be surprised, don't they remember Betamax, DuoStick, A-mount..."

Well it is April now, where is the G90? (yes, I'm impatient)

https://www.eoshd.com/comments/forum/26-gear-for-sale/ A crazy thought..... but have any of you heard of this place here?

Forget about it, it is not a great sensor. (as I believe it is the same sensor as in their studio cameras) Skip 4K, get an OG BMPCC or Micro Cinema Camera for your S16 lenses.

Pfftttttttttttt........... ! Consoles drool. PCs rule. https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/

Their focus puller will weep

I guess so
