Saw this tweet: "John Wick 2: 2k, Alien covenant: 2k, Arrival: 2k, Fury Road: 2k. Do people really think they are getting actual 4k resolution movies?" https://twitter.com/RuairiRobinson/status/912865327221846016 People shouldn't feel pressured to buy a 4K camera (plus almost all VFX, with some rare exceptions, is not done in 4K! And with how VFX heavy films are these days, even the 4K films are typically having a lot that is not 4K)

You get scales of efficiency with compressing a higher resolution image (as the same jmage at 4K, is not the same as 4x random 1080 images), so it would not be exactly a linear increase in bit rate that is needed. But as a first approximation, it is a good enough guess.

Nice! Where did you get this list from, or did you put it together yourself?

Ah, because currently on B&H it goes for $999 with a 12-60mm lens https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1280824-REG/panasonic_dmc_gm85mk_lumix_dmc_g85_mirrorless_micro.html Lucky lucky!! For me the Panasonic GH1 was my first personal video camera (Nikon D50 was my first camera, unless you count my cell phones). & before then I was using a borrowed Nikon D90 (from my GF) or a Canon T2i (from my sister) for my film school assignments.

You've got to be joking

Even five years ago, you could not buy for ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY a camera which did 4K + IBIS + such a small size. I'm slightly more hopefully, and expecting 2019? But even 2020 would not surprise me!

Only one has been on eBay recently: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ikonoskop-A-Cam-dii-Super-16mm-CCD-Digital-Cinema-Camera-DNG-RAW-kit-extras-/122572101775 The guy wanted US$10K! :-o

Ha! Did you look up what it was shot on, or did you already know? ;-) I posted it because I get a little tired sometimes of discussions of higher end cameras as "cinematic", or writing off various cameras as *not* cinematic. Basically we're living in an amazing time of abundance, with a luxury of choices when it comes to cameras. *Any* dedicated video camera with interchangeable lens mount and 4K is a top notch choice that can be "cinematic", As your lighting/grading/composition/movement/filters/lenses/etc will all add up to making a much much greater difference than whatever camera you choose from those options! If a person is not happy their results are not "cinematic" with such a camera, then very likely the problems lies with themselves! Not the camera body.

That is still less than HALF the price of a GH5. And you got a lens for that $900 with the G85? Which the $2K GH5 doesn't come with. If it follows the trends of GH3/G6 and GH4/G7 then the G90 will probably have a few little areas where it is better than the GH5 ;-) (but not in all ways) I know for me at least, I preferred the G6 over the GH3, and is one reason why I purchased the G6.

That "LUMIX Tether" PC software is cool news for studio shooters! Something to keep the stills photographers happy! As they often complain about Panasonic being too video focused (they could always just buy Olympus instead!)

Is this a "filmic" look? Or does this series have a "video" look?

On my super crappie Samsung J2 (yeah I know, I need a new phone! But I keep on spending my money on filmmaking gear....) then the site seems to be loading a tiny bit slower. Not unbearable though.

Ditto. I paid the same price for my 444 F3 too, *years* ago ;-) It is impossible to recommend a better full size cinema camera at this price point. The only reasons which might hold me back: Is if you want to go smaller: BMD Pocket or Micro. But then you miss out on other features. Or if you can stretch the budget a little: because the FS700 has fallen so far in price now! (This is probably what I'd do instead of an F3, if I was doing this all over again today) Or the wildcard JVC LS300 Or you want a stills camera too: Panasonic GH5, or G80.

Can't remember if it was an Oktava or a Samson C02. I'd need to look up what I wrote in my metadata. Lav was a stock Sony UWP-D11 If I was you I'd stick with the Oktava, until you can afford a MKH50 or Scheops. As what other gear gaps are more pressing for you? Robustness?

Has timecode and genlock too, which I as a soundie appreciate.

The G85 is going to be made better however, when the G90 gets released ;-)

Whoops! Should have taken more careful note of the usernames.

Interesting! No issues ever with the cable? Would love to see BTS video of a shoot with this, as well as the photos.

Yup, all businesses practice segmentation of some sort or another. And yup, Canon does it far worse than Panasonic! (or Sony)

My kit is listed here: http://ironfilm.co.nz/sound/ Technique is nothing too special? Just using my ears and brain, with a boom and lav on talent.

HD? PL? S35? 60p? NDs? DR? Colors? Lowlight? Sounds like you just described the Sony PMW-F3! ;-) Smart!! No contest. F3 wins. Yeah, JVC LS300 or secondhand Sony FS700 are probably the only other S35 cinema cameras with NDs I'd consider on an ultra low budget, other than the Sony F3. Rather go with a BMD Pocket/Micro than the BMCC

No. You forget about the unseen. What many discoveries are we missing due to the lack of private spending? Because it was sucked out of the economy by the government. There are private couriers too.

Oh hey, I've got a whole thread with my username in the title! :-P From memory there was an HMI shining from the kitchen window on the left, I kinda forget about the rest used. I probably should upload soon the BTS I filmed for my vblog, might jog my memory about the lighting.

No. Part of the reason why Apple was so successful is exactly because Jobs put great engineers in place at his company (and yes, that means partly having a great HR department in place too, to recruit them). Or have you so quickly forgotten Steve Wozniak? He was just the first of many great engineers to work for Apple.

Do you feel creating the atomic bomb was a net gain for humanity? I doubt it. Was putting a man on the moon the best use of billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars? It was just a big dick waving competition with the USSR. I feel society would have flourished more if that money had been left with those who earned it, to spend as they saw best, rather than being stolen away to finance the space race. The US Postal Service is operating at a massive loss. You didn't give particularly good examples of government :-/
