The follow focus would also keep a much much much longer lifespan as a relevant piece of gear, unlike the Raven which will get outdated fast.

Are you thinking about getting another wireless? Then boy do I have a deal for you! These (which are in my view *the best* low budget wireless! Is why I own FIVE sets of them) are having a cracking good sale deal on right now (limited time flash sale at B&H): https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1025750-REG/sony_uwp_d11_14_bodypack_lavalier_mic_eng_package.html

Wish phones had a few more buttons, plenty of space down the sides!

The overheads of insurance (your usual insurance won't cut, you need to be covered for conversion/theft) + marketing + hassle of meeting people + bookkeeping + etc then likely just don't make it worth it, unless you go hard to scale it up to more than just renting bits and bobs. (also people do prefer to rent from as few places as possible, so offering only bits and bobs will put you at a disadvantage vs others)

Basically only Netflix mandates 4K, and even then ONLY for their commissioned productions (which is but a teeny tiny part of their entire library). The odds of multiple major buyers mandating high than 4K resolution in the near future? Next to nil! Thus is FUD and scaremongering to suggest otherwise. But if a person is really feeling that paranoid, then just get the Kinefinity 6K instead.

I bet by Light VI they catch up to what the first iPhone could do

The scary scary fact, is that half of people are dumber than average. Even scarier, it is ALWAYS going to be like that! :-o ;-)

Not just the F65, but also F35/F3/F23 and their latest one "Venice". Heck, FS7/F5/F55 are fantastic too. Just Sony took their time with them (so not everyone has a fair opinion of them, and really appreciate them for what they've developed into), but eventually Sony has brought out LC709a for instance.

My first thought is if Nikon doesn't (re)launch their mirrorless this year with 4K, then they're doomed on this forum. However.... we don't know how much Canon will cripple the M50: For instance, who wants to place bets on 4K 15fps happening? Haha Exactly. Hopefully H.265 not H.264, but that is totally unreasonable to expect from Canon. Truth. Exactly. Any "cross shopping" they do comes from the store's salesperson. How do we know this is a genuinely new sensor? Because their latest APS-C DSLRs have 24.2MP, and this is 24.1MP?!?!? Maaaaaaaaybe Good point, "standard" and "best" are not necessarily one and the same. As well as the others mentioned, the Panasonic G85/G80

Jim, sounds like the answer is simple for you! Get yourself that D850 :-D

This video was from a square video for social media (and as they're sitting at a table, there is thus a TONNE of headroom with this aspect ration, thus why I had to stand on a box even though I'm quite tall): Also shot this on the side, so as to squeeze a little more resolution from the BMPCC for VFX:

You're special! Do you also know when the trailers might be coming out?

Go for the new Panasonic GH5S which can do 240fps HD! ;-)

Yeah, in my forum profile pic then half the beard is hidden by the blimp! ha

Ouch! Expensive. That is why I like buying older models secondhand, I picked up my new phone for only a couple of hundred bucks, a Samsung S7 Active:

Nikon has a reputation of being able to "get more out of" Sony's sensors than Sony themselves can. A little part of me wonders if part of the sensor deal package with Sony was using their XQD cards over the CFast competition. Sony does use XQD in their higher end cameras however, such as the Sony FS7

Perfect timing for my birthday!

But he is still using a boom pole with a blimp and a shotgun in it ;-)

Sumsung is my first ever 4K camera!! :-D And yup, it is a cellphone:

I'm sure Pranti is joking/trolling! But then again I do use my Sony PMW-F3 for vlogs (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCniNTuAtkFiSCQNfIaw9SJw) Maybe in 2025 I'll be using a C700 instead? :-D haha

My girlfriend doesn't think it is a lot. The benefits of top LCDs are: 1) they can use a different screen tech (such as e-ink), which can bring other benefits such as conserving battery power and better outdoor visibility. 2) can squeeze on yet more info (leaving off info from the main screen, freeing up space for other things or just simply to see the scene more clearly without clutter), and viewable from other angles (for instance a top LCD is handy for street shooters who shoot from the hip).

lol, maybe the Sony a7Smk9 will be capable of doing Scrotography?

Unless a person has a specific need (perhaps a hardcore landscape photographer) then I just don't see the point in going beyond 24 megapixels. It is like people who film video at greater than 6K resolution. We're just talking total overkill here, and there are downsides when it comes to processing times and storage space.

At best we can perhaps hope for a Panasonic EVA1 mk2? (EVA2? With a MFT mount pretty please! I am like a broken record on this topic...)

I was playing around on Saturday night with a friend's Panasonic 42.5mm f1.2 on a G9, and that was just delicious! Yikes!
