Maybe he is mixing it up, but yeah I thought he owned those too. Will also cost much more than a GH5 / GH5S will, maybe even double as much! Plus there has to be a solid 20% chance that if the C100mk3 comes out early this year it won't even have 4K! :-P Ha Well I was never going to buy a GH5S I think (at least not this year, maybe in a year or two when the price drops down). On this topic kinda, in a couple of week's time am starting a feature film which will have a GH5 as C cam (A & B cam are a RED ONE). Oh and this weekend am working on another short film with a GH5.

Because a much much greater proportion of GH5S users would want it than GH5 owners

If you're wanting to maximise your bang for buck, then consider the older Sony X70 secondhand as well 4/3" not 3/4"

Well the C300mk2 dropped from $16K to 10K in a relatively short span, that is over a third. That is "natural price reduction"? Fast than normal? Yes! But still within the realms of "natural". Anyway.... it is pretty subjective here, just a personal matter of perspective. (wellll.... unless someone wishes to plot data from all camera prices to see if the BMPCC is over 3 standard deviations away)

Hope Panasonic does a firmware update to fix their timecode implementation. As it is true, the GH5S is indeed majorly flawed :-(

I guess my point is they kinda feel like a "natural price reduction", products often get cheaper over their life cycle. (some have even more radical price drops! For instance the F3 was around $30K originally?! When I purchased mine secondhand I remember new prices had fallen to around US$6K) But the 1/2 price BMPCC sale was out of left field and was kinda an "unnatural" drop.

Not sure if that counts as a "radical" price cut? Even Canon has done that :-P That was only in the UK however, so I wasn't really counting that, but it does give you hope there could be 50% off sale for the EF version and more worldwide

You called it! Sold for just a hair under $2K Yeah... but that is PL Mount :-/ Meaning expensive PL lenses! Rather avoid that, and use my quite large collection of lenses I have at the moment. Pity the BMPCC is the only one which got a radical half price sale, and even that was a long long time ago now.

As the highest dynamic range should be at base ISO, but I was wondering just how bad the hit is? (as sometimes you might want to make that trade off, rather than juggle other variables) I'm also curious to hear other people's thoughts about video mode (Rec709) vs film mode (log)? (obviously I'm referring to in a flavour of ProRes, not raw)

I'll admit at the Indian Wedding I was filming tonight I was kinda wishing I had a C300 with DPAF rather than my F3 with a Sigma 50-150mm f2.8 Nikon F mount lens. Was tough initially! But with practice it got easy, I'm probably also rather rusty having not done weddings in a while since last season (and even then I only did a few). Having a better monitor would have helped too! I was just using the LCD on the F3 itself.

I saw today a Tokina 16-50 go for nearly 200, I was bidding on it... until I felt I got "too expensive"! :-P ha

Hope he grills him hard (but Casey won't...) on demonetisation of YouTube video, also how YouTube is hiding and removing many videos (particularly obnoxious is how heavy handed YouTube is with copyright "violations", fair use isn't getting a fair chance at all!). https://torrentfreak.com/musicians-white-noise-youtube-video-hit-with-copyright-complaints-180105/ Unbelievably fvcked up enforcement of "copyright" by YouTube! It is way waaaaaaaaay too unbalanced at the moment, in the hands of the so called "copyright holders" rather than the power being in the users themselves.

I am guessing even indoors it was freezing cold that far up north where he was staying? Every episode of IT Crowd was gold, but that episode was extra memorable: Although for a little back story:

It is CRAZY the many pies Samsung has fingers in, like TANKS:

Did they only just start shipping that? I thought they shipped late last year.

At least they're "trying"? And ahead of Canon! :-P (for some people)

I only have a cheap Feelworld FW759 at the moment (plus my Atomos recorder. I'll be using both tonight at a wedding). So wouldn't be adding many to my "collection". Am kinda ok with that Feelworld, just would like one smaller and newer. And because videography isn't my main focus now, I want to spend the least possible and in no rush so might wait and see what happens next (NAB 2018?).

This is why I feel it is a damn pity that Sony never updated the a5100 in years. Also I hope Panasonic doesn't forget about the low end GF series, and they don't push the G series too high end (the G9 is bloody expensive! Maybe a cheap "G900" is needed?).

Playing devil's advocate, I'm sure Sound Devices would argue in favor with things like: better build quality, arguably better design (physical buttons vs touch screen being better for extreme cold, wet weather, etc), better audio inputs, etc would justify the small price gap. I'm pretty tempted by the Feelworld F6 at the moment, which is even cheaper, sub US$200! But also kinda considering holding out to see if Aputure makes a 5" monitor. No rush, I can wait.

That seems close enough? I'm sure Video Devices believes the price difference is justified.

Yeah 35mm is a tricky focal length as a sole lens to use on MFT :-/

The scary fact is that half the population is dumber than average! :-o

But when you compare to other 4K recorder/monitors then the price isn't too far off?

This is a pretty compact manual focus lens for MFT (cheap too!): https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1383714-REG/opteka_optm3517m43_35mm_f1_7_high_definition.html The 50mm looks pretty small too? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1383719-REG/opteka_optm5020m43_50mm_f2_0_high_definition.html And this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1387945-REG/7artisans_photoelectric_7a35f12bkm43_35mm_f1_2_aps_c_for.html

Ah that sucks. I've had a few ones lined up myself over the last couple of years or so, never had a falling out, but something or another comes up preventing it (budget often!). I'm not too bothered though, moved on to focus on sound recording instead. Done sound for a full feature, and parts on others, got another lined up in a few weeks' time but not so sure again about doing it (again, budget! Bit low....).
