Well Sony has been pushing specs hard for a long while, maybe not a bad thing if they ease up and instead push down on prices and focus on ergonomics/colors.

Yup, at that point a GH5S starts to become more compelling The image source says otherwise.

Like this? No pocket carrying with this one! But if it means great functionality/horsepower, then it is worth it

That is what Simon thinks now!

Yeah if the FS5mk2 doesn't get 4K 10bit then I rate at near 0% chance that an a7Smk3 released this year will have 10bit internal.

Looks great!

Wow! Bet this will be a strong alternatives to say Veydra lenses?

Yeah, but he is wrong. Don't believe everything you read on the internet ;-)

I put online my long rambling pre-NAB thoughts, together with a couple of friends of mine:

Yeah after I made my comment I realised the name "Ninja" is what Atomos uses to refer to their HDMI only recorders :-/ So wouldn't work with 4K raw. Sad. :-/ Yes, they didn't launch the BMCC MFT until after the other BMCC ones were already announced and shipping for a while. Ha. But heh, everyone I suppose has different priorities, the EVF doesn't rate as high to me as for others.

No, some like BP-U30 are very small. Is what the Kinefinity Terra and Mavo bodies use.

Thanks for mentioning the EOSHD community in the Video!

They're not threads. They'e subforums Sony supports this, from the a5100 to the VENICE. Meanwhile, Panasonic fvcked this up with their EVA1 not having a MFT option.

Fantastic news!! This makes a FS700 much more attractive, as I too didn't want to use a 7" monitor with it. It was BMD's first ever MFT camera. I don't imagine they will do an inactive mount again, not now they have the experience of building active MFT mount cameras.

JVC has quite a large stand at NAB I too am hopefully JVC will release another MFT cinema camera. I believe this was a mistake by both BMD and Panasonic not to release a locking MFT mount with their cinema cameras. (Like Sony has done with their E mount, with the FS7mk2 and the new VENICE). Yup, the MFT mount was a *strength* of that camera, while its biggest negative was perhaps its name. Exactly why it was a mistake of Panasonic not to have an EVA1 MFT camera. As the EVA1 left nowhere to go for Panasonic's **own customers**!! Way to go Panasonic in neglecting your faithful followers. Meanwhile with Sony you could buy a lenses for your a5100 and keep on using it all the way up to the VENICE!!

No, as it could be the 4.6K sensor at the heart of it, but a cut of it. A 4K sized cut of it.

Well with the Micro (which has the same sensor) they didn't repeat it with the same teeny battery, so I doubt they'll stick with the old BMPCC battery. A new one will surely be chosen. (fingers crossed for NP-F or BP-U!)

Hopefully it doesn't have the Micro Studio sensor. But BMD might think now that they've had the firmware update which boosts DR 2 stops and gives base ISO a raise from 400 to 800 that this is sufficient for BMPCC Generation 2.0?! Hope not.

I can't imagine the BMPC4K being crammed into anything which could be described as "pocket"?! It would surprise me. But yes, I also hope not!

Astonishingly they'e still selling secondhand for more than that! Hopefully the new BMPCC4K will push down hard prices of the secondhand original BMPCC

Cinema lenses are ultra expensive for many more reasons than just doing a focus pull

I use my BMPCC now as a vlog camera, a flip up screen would be a bigger upgrade for me than 4K!

BMD has taken to heart the criticism and seems keen to ship cameras immediately now or at least in a timely manner Then again they might regress to old form.... so anything is possible!

I would rate the KineMount over a MFT mount. (Btw Kinefinity is a member of the Micro Four Thirds group)
