"No they wouldn’t" Perhaps don't buy the latest and greatest then, buy last generation, which is still GREAT STUFF! And then put all that spare cash elsewhere, where it will make a real difference.

Or let depreciation work for you and get a FS5/GH5/X-H1 instead?? Seriously, with the way the world and the economy is, I'd minimize spending and look for best bang for buck. Let others take the depreciation hit! Not you. Will any of your wedding clients really tell the difference between if you shot it with a X-H1 or X-H2??

More like the love child of a S1H and the FX6 I think. I wish they'd release a pro APS-C camera, or at least an APS-C camera which didn't suffer from HORRIBLE amounts of rolling shutter. I do not mind rolling shutter though, so long as it isn't horrific. Could, I couldn't cope if it was even more expensive than the a7Smk3! (plus who'd then buy it over an FX6 for only marginally more?!) Guesses: 1) crippled stills mode 2) no IBIS

I'd LOVE that! But then it would be called a "FS3" and not a "FX3".

Am looking forward to recording this new hairdryer.

I agree that photo is almost certainly a VENICE, just seems a teeny bit odd the cable coming out the side? This month I'll be starting on a 13 week tv series shooting with three VENICE. Hope this FX3 is basically a stripped down FX6 in a S1H body, but with an eND and a lower price. (can still use the smart shoe for audio)

Can I call my Lectrosonics Octopak my most "fun" piece of equipment? I think it was my favorite acquisition of 2020! https://www.instagram.com/p/CF58DTCMX95/ Definitely made the process of handling RF distribution better! (and power, and cable running in general more tidy))

Thought he used Nokton native MFT Mount lenses?

Well, perhaps not the a7 would have, but one of the other hybrid mirrorless would've got it! Remember, we got already got 10bit in mirrorless well over two years ago. (and external 10bit even longer ago before that)

Hell no! Nobody wants to run out of space in the middle of a shoot, and not be able to swap cards out in a jiffy.

A week later, it's at sixty bucks.

Many of us thought an a7 series (or similar hybrid) from Sony would have had an eND within 2-3yrs back 2-3yrs ago!! We'll probably see another couple of years pass by once again with nothing happening....

That looks like Gilbert!

If you've got a tight budget then just pick up a BMD P4K instead! (or Z Cam E2-M4) Do you NEED 6K??? No you don't, and the P4K is otherwise almost identical to the 6K. (except on some minor points, such as a mildly smaller sensor size, but if that is a big problem just get yourself an extra UWA lens, such as Tokina 11-20 f2.8, or any of the many options from SLR Magic / Laowa / etc)

I feel like all that the GH6 needs to do to find success, is match the specs of the GH5/GH5S combo and add an eND. That alone would make the GH6 a very compelling choice for many people, anything else would merely be a cherry on the top.

It is not ridiculous in the slightest. Heck, there are even pro lenses which are f5.6!! F-Stop has relatively little to do with if they're "pro" or not.

Very very few FX9 owners could 100% replace their FX9 with a Sony a1, they're too drastically different.

Sadly you can't exactly edit a post here after you've made it.

Just start a new thread here! (like this one) I personally don't think it is a great idea to make heaps and heaps of subforums, as that ends up diluting down the number of members viewing each forum regularly. But that's up to Andrew.

Nope, you're wrong. I am NOT saying that "I am 95% confident that 20% of filming world wide with budgets over $25K use easyrigs". Am just merely saying that easyrigs "are common" on professional sets, that's a very loose statement with a wiiiide error margin. Would you require the same level of high standard of proof if I was to say "it is common for drop in ND filters to be used on professional shoots"? I'd hope not! And that we can instead all agree it is true.

Sad to think I got into filmmaking basically at the very PEAK of camera sales, and now it is so so much less. @ntblowz, you could just about almost see me! If only the building at 2 Emily Place etc wasn't in the way. It's baaaaad news for the used market if you like picking up bargains. If for instance a future Nikon D500S gets released, you'll never ever see so many of those popping up on eBay a few years later, like you can find a Nikon D300S for ease dirt cheap.

I've also got no great interest in 8K Fingers crossed for an affordable GH6S 4K camera?

This is what many camera brands have been failing at doing elegantly for a long time. They need to fix this asap if they want to get a grip on their falling sales. This too. End the Fed. I hope it is not US$3K, or even $2.5K The GH5 already at sub $2K was setting a record for the most expensive cameras Panasonic ever released when it came out. But like @Nikkor was referring to.... Unfortunately that slice of the market would be merely a rounding error in their annual financial report for Samsung.

But even say a lightweight Fuji X-T3 / P4K / GH5 / etc, once you add a mattebox, SmallHD 702, timecode box, wireless transmitter, and a v lock to run it all, then you're up in weight to a few kilos. Yes, much much lighter than an ARRI rig, but still, worth using an easyrig for.

https://www.local695.com/magazine/using-an-exoskeleton/ That article was a good read, and repeats my point, that Easyrigs are very very commonly seen on film sets.
