Wow, amazed this is a real thing.

So I have the Samson Airline Micro Camera Wireless System, my impression is the one I have (it is secondhand however) the microphone is not too good (but I have another coming that I can compare against, just to see if I got a dud microphone secondhand). But if I can swap out the microphone, then this should be greatly improved? Or so I hope/believe. As I care more about the quality of the wireless, than the lav mic it comes with (as that can and will be replaced with time).

I just see the word "snow" and know I don't want to live there! :-o Would love to visit one day however

From what I've read following it in the FB group for Kinefinity it sounds like their support is AMAZING!

Holy Hell, it is **snowing**?? But it is mid Autumn now for me (for context, it is late at night here... I have all my windows in this room open, and I'm sitting at my desk in swimming shorts and a short sleeved shirt), which must make it mid Spring for you guys? Surely it must be warmer than that!!

You could pick up the pre-ART Sigma 85mm for next to nothing second hand. Do that while you wait for the ART version of the Sigma to come out, or for Rokinon 85mm AF to come out?? (14mm and 50mm AF are already coming)

Still well ahead of any Blackmagic Design schedule! Haha :-D

Plus it is always handy to keep the Phantom around as a back up to the Inspire!

How the heck did he have an AXE in the studio??? :-o

Yes you should get a few dozens/hundreds of hours of practice with a DJI Phantom or similar before buying an Inspire

***WAS*** Now it is more like US$1.5K secondhand. Still an absolute fantastic camera, and the best value one in its class today even in 2016.

Check out the XK X500 or Yuneec Typhoon. Both very affordable and you could lift a Nikon DL18-50 or even maybe a BMMCC under it. Giving you way higher quality than GoPro footage.

Or even better (hopefully!) the Kinefinity Tera 4K when it comes out!

Exactly. Please point to where XAVC-Intra 24p is demonstrated as worse than FS7 raw 24p? Everything I've read and seen does not demonstrate that. As nobody has used the FS5 with the firmware upgrade and an Odyssey, we really can't say.... I'm inclined to say that the FS7 will still be a better choice. And FS7 is certainly is currently a better choice if ultimate image quality is what matters most. However if Variable Internal ND / 240fps slow motion / HD (more than 4K) / small size is what matters most for you, then perhaps maybe the FS5 is a better choice than an FS7. Otherwise in almost all other cases go with FS7 instead.

Maybe Craigslist has moved out of favor in your area? I am sure there are still places. Try Facebook groups perhaps?

Any of those options would be a rock solid option, as you're mainly a wedding (& other stuff) photographer I'd lean heavily towards the first one. As the Nikon D750 is the current dream camera that is king for wedding photographers, and can be found for some great deals now. I'd be looking to upgrade that D90 to a D7100 as well sometime later on as budget allows it later on. Then you'd have a waaaay better B cam (for photos OR video!) with the D750 Although hmmmm.... you're rather light on lenses at the moment. I'd want to bulk up those range of options as well (such as a 70-200 and a Nikon 85mm f1.8D etc... depending on what you do)

Holy crap, where are you shooting and what?? :-o

Arguably "new camera award" and "most promising camera award" mean similar or at least overlapping meanings, so I'm not too picky over this.

Good luck at enforcing all those many "no cameras" signs we see now!

X5r is insanely expensive, but I would prefer it (but at that cost... ?? Nope! Better other options). If you mean the X3 though as it appears.... nope nope, rather stick with the LX100. Plus the other gimbal is more versatile and you can use it with other cameras too than the LX100.

That doesn't change my point at all however! If you understand even just a little bit of programming / systems engineering, and realize the radical gulf there is from the base of development ML had, then you'd easily realise what does not and does fall into the camp of 'highly unlikely'.

Having a link there would've been handy ;-) So here we go: https://www.facebook.com/groups/AputureUsers/

ML however was building on the years of work from CHDK, and ML raw was building on the years of work of ML itself. They're basically kinda rewriting the firmware from scratch. While the Panasonic and Sony hacks are rather more like the Sony F5 hack, merely tweaking a line or two of code to enable what is already there! Thus I'll be healthily skeptical as to if either will ever be making the large leap to raw video out of a mirrorless camera. (but we can still dream! :-D But I expect to see pigs fly first)

It becomes a much easier upgrade to go from a (hypothetical) Terra 4K to a (hypothetical) newly announced Terra 8K, when you already have the various KineMOUNT adapters / the backs / handle / etc various other accessories, and just need to buy the body itself, and you already have developed a strong confidence in the Kinefinity brand from having used the (hypothetical) Terra 4K so much already. But to leap on a (hypothetical) newly announced Terra 8K from scratch? Hmmm.... that is much harder (and more expensive!) ask for many folks to make the leap of faith to do when there is no local support at all (either official or even unofficial! As there are too few people using it to provide even a local unofficial support network of users).

Yup, this is what Kinefinity should do. Get a very low priced product (US$3K or less, or even under US$2K in an ideal world) that gets Kinefinity's foot in the door and gets people hoping onto that upgrade path onto Kinefinity's higher end cameras (such as Terra 6K or KineMAX). I bet BMPCC has done huge huge wonders for BMD in getting their name out there, and people adopting their products. (and BMD already had a sub US$3K camera before the BMPCC ever shipped!)
