Are you working for others, or are you in house shooter or a hobbyist? As if you're being hired by others mostly as a cam op / "DoP" then I'd say absolutely stick with the FS5 But if not then you could possibly make a case for switching over to a BMPCC4K

$1.2K? Nah I'll pass

A more important question is: Is it cum proof?

Looks like they're seriously looking into MFT now and are going to do a MFT S35 camera! All thanks to user feedback requesting it :-)

What a weird Zombie thread to come back to life like this

Then proceeds to write an essay....

Small sensor. EVERYTHING is in focus

The truth about running people don’t want to hear https://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/well-good/motivate-me/111240962/the-truth-about-running-people-dont-want-to-hear Basically, if you want to run a marathon you start out by doing 2km jogs around the block. Then doing 5km races, then try out a half marathon, etc etc This is true for everything in life!

I'm gutted it is going to be EF mount and they're not even trying to explore other mount options. Had a long discussion with Jason in that thread.

It is better than nothing! A minute long film that is made is better than a zero second long film! Let the AI write the script for you! Just make it:

FX? You mean Fuji X Mount? IMPOSSIBLE

Then it sounds like neither the XT3 or Rode mic is faulty but your pre amp!! Which is it? And perhaps don't bother using it.... simple, solved!

I was a little too strong with my previous statement. Has got a lot better over the last few years, as people have realized Canon is not great all the time after all. But if you went back say five years it was really bad the bias towards Canon

So long as the client doesn't think you're playing games with it on the job! ?

Or just get a Sound Devices MixPre3 Yup, anybody who purchased a GH5 at launch and is still using it today must be tickled pink about how much value they've got out of it! Just get faster lenses for the GH5 and perhaps a few small lights (like the Aputure M9) is my suggestion!

Nah, Canon fanboy trolls are the worst!

Sounds like you want the Panasonic GH5S Or the Nikon Z6 sounds also like it might be perfect for you. (the Z6 is of course a different camera to the Z7 that you returned!)

Do you keep your smartphone attached to the tripod handle?

Saramonic is known for making low quality junk, have you tried the XT3 with anything which is not Saramonic? Oh you have. Maybe try any more thing other than a Rode Micro? (as they're rather low quality too....) And perhaps if you upload a few clips so we can see what you mean by a "pulse"?

Other than perhaps the wiring, I'm not aware of anything "standards" than that one for locking 3.5mm connectors??

Someone said this: Is that true? Microlenses are on the sensor, so I can't see why this matters at all.

There is nothing proprietary about the locking connector. You could make and sell it if you wished

For how low our incomes are then housing pricing is bonkers insane in Auckland, we're one of the most unaffordable places on the planet. Is just places like say Hong Kong etc which beat our housing inaffordability (although, technically it is just shy of a million dollars NZD) Although just in recent months the housing market seems to have been softening. Just maybe maybe, we might be coming up to a big housing crash like it seems Sydney is experiencing

We're already there in Auckland
