Exact OPPOSITE of Samsung's camera department! I'll double second that! You might need longer reach than 105mm, depends on how far back you're shooting the close ups of speakers from. Such a simple simple SIMPLE thing to do! Surprised they did not, even the Sony A5100 which I own has touch focus!!! Grrrr.... *ALL* should have that now, it is too handy not to have! And their medium format camera which does video!! :-o http://philipbloom.net/blog/pentax645z/ I want one!! :-o

Shooting in S35 or HD also helps with many cameras

Yes... "s" is lower case when it should be uppercase like this: FS100 Also he is a time traveler from the past who has traveled into the future to ask us about a camera. Very sensible move! I always try to do the same before buying my cameras as hindsight is golden.

NAB is only a month away. Want to place a bet on when those NAB 2016 cameras will ship? lol Be crazy if they don't announce any cameras at all :-P Maybe if instead they announce a cheaper EVF (yes please!) and a 7 inch Video Assist that does 4K?? Plus a URSA Mini 4K variant with a MFT mount. No new cameras but did those three things instead, then I'd be very happy! :-D

If you can spend double (or triple) then a Sony F3 will be a way better deal. But at least now there are E mount adaptera with a variable ND filter built into it that you could use with a FS100

It is almost kinda funny how slow the rumor sites can be with the news I have noticed.

The features that really distinguish it vs a GH4/DVX200/NX1/A6300/C100/AF100/FS5 (as those are its main "direct" competition), give them a thorough thrashing with your testing and investigations. Such as its streaming option for instance.

Exciting! You're certainly one of the testers online who I value your opinion and results. Looking forward to what you make of the JVC LS300

I hope Video Devices adds FS raw support to their PIX-E5! As especially with the PIX-LR adding in very high quality XLR audio support, you end up with one little neat 5" package. http://nofilmschool.com/2016/03/sound-devices-pix-lr-audio-xlr-accessory-video-devices-e5-e5h-e7

Yup, when it comes to my "big" camera I'm going to try and stay content with my F3 until one day when I can afford an FS7/F5 :-D Even an F5 is getting down to surprisingly affordable secondhand pricing, certainly once I manage to pull off successfully moving into higher end and consistent film work then I'll be able to afford that (especially if the F5 carries on trending downwards with its pricing during the same time period as well :-P ) Although I can't but help to be tempted to upgrade my smaller camera (G6/D5200) to something like the likes of a NX1/D750/G7/A6300/etc... one day ;-)

If you want 444 I suggest a Video Devices PIX-E5 But I'm a cheapskate.... which is why I got the F3, so I'm happy with 10bit 422 for now :-)

You'd have to be loaded to buy a C300 mk2 *and* 1D X mk2! :-o

And yet.... even after a massive price drop, the Sony FS7 is still more appealing.

You're asking if Canon will release a firmware update which will very significantly increase the video capabilities of one of their products..... ?? LOL LOL We all know the answer to that!!

I got one as at the time there was nothing better for its ultra low price But if I was to buy one today then I'd get a Aputure FineHD VS-2 instead for only a little more. Or perhaps even save for the BMD VA.

Yup! Especially as you have nothing wider than 50mm :-o

Is spending another couple of hundred dollars for a monitor like the Aputure FineHD VS-2 in your budget? As that would be my top reason to go for a GH2 over a GH1, for the live HDMI out Otherwise, as you're on an extremely limited budget... get the Panasonic GH1 instead. Then the RJ Lens Turbo plus a few Nikon F mount lenses. But if your budget stretches to a G6 then that is very worthwhile. I have that one as well. The only big bummer if that one is it too lacks Live HDMI out.

Another vote for Nikon D750. Is a no brainer as: A) you used to have a D600 B) you place equal importance on video and photos, and the D750 is the best DSLR for video! (Ignore the overpriced 1D C for a minute... and D5/D500 are not out yet)

The massive limiting factor is write speed. And Canon uses crappy cheap SD card controls that can't write ultra fast. So none of their DSLRs with SDs are worth considering at all. So no, ML will not be able to save them. For a fraction of the cost get the RJ Lens Turbo instead then. If you're not locked into the Canon EF ecosystem.

Is this a real sale on it? :-o They're not even shipping yet!

Patience. It should start shipping very soon

I did!! :-D Purchased it a few hours ago. I will need to construct by hand however an XLR cable to pass through

If he hasn't bought any lenses yet then buying an NX1 isn't a problem as he can just do the sensible thing and purchase Nikon F mount lenses instead

Hmmmm... maybe I should look into getting a GM1 next. Any draw backs to be aware of?

Get a Nikon D7200 if you want to keep around a DSLR but want decent video
