I'd go for the P4K (the benefits of 6K vs 4K are far outweighed by how much it would have to suck to use EF instead of MFT). P4K vs C100 means: Timecode. Easier gimbal usage. 10bit. 4K. Mirrorless mount. Slow motion. The ergonomic downsides won't be a deal breaker because you're either doing sit down interviews (which are controlled settings, the P4K is perfectly great for this) or B Roll (thus if you miss a moment that won't be a deal breaker in the edit, or you could often re-do it). Would be different if you said you're a sports shooter, or reality tv cameraman, or war corespondent, etc... then I'd be giving serious pause to consider instead the merits to staying with the C100.

The P4K/P6K accepts timecode, so you could just get yourself a TC box and a TC capable recorder (such as the MixPre3mk2 or Zoom F6) and you'll have easy & frame accurate syncing.

Go for closedback headphones.

Unfortunately their 7" one has a bit of a noisy fan, but their 5" monitor I've worked with is quiet.

If I owned an ARRI M18 I'd be bragging about using it in every IG post I make!

I like that in the Audio world that the FujiFIlm NP-50 battery is becoming a "standard" of sorts used across multiple different brands of audio gear!

Wow. This is sounding amazing for the S5. I almost DO NOT want the new Panasonic S5 to be too cheap with its launch price, otherwise I'll need to seriously reconsider my plan to get a Panasonic G9 But anyway, I've pushed any camera buying thoughts off into the future, as I just am about to spend thousands and thousands of dollars more on audio gear. Will be broke for a while, especially in this current economic environment. Or the "complicated" relationship between myself and my GF

From a business perspective they should want to not fvxk over their current loyal fan base. If a brand did that every generation for no real reason at all, it would be a big negative against me buying it.

Could even the famous 416 live up to this level of abuse?? (this is about the Deity S Mic 2, not the Deity S Mic2S, but I didn't want to make a new thread just for this)

What are you filming? Could you use telephoto primes? Can you go tripod/monpod instead of handheld? Remember if you go with MFT, you'll get extra reach! Easier to find affordable very long zooms then which are f2.8 Agreed. (and not just because you mentioned sound)

Meh, almost all of their FF mirrorless cameras are known for overheating, doesn't surprise me that their smartphones will too. They've been around a long time though, one of my earliest (non-Symbian) smartphones was a Sony!

I can see AF having a great appeal in lower budget productions (exactly the kinds of ones that would use a C300/FX9! And not an ARRI), where they'll have a 1st AC (because productions need that, even if no focus pulling is being done) but they'll lack the budget for a proper professional career 1st AC. Instead they'll have say a 2nd AC who is stepping up, or perhaps a videographer who supplements his work with a bit of AC work, and those kinds of folk. Thus the bulk of the shooting is done with manual focus pulling on nice cinema lenses, but for tricky shots such as on a gimbal or long tracking shots (which are stretching beyond the capabilities of this focus puller moonlighting as a "1st AC") then they switch over to a native AF lens.

As RF Mount has a long future, and M Mount a (at best!) "murky" future, then the choice is clear for Canon: send them to RF Mount. Canon doesn't want to risk M Mount users (when they have to move on) choosing a non-Canon brand when they upgrade. Canon already has the risk of customer leakage as we transition away from EF, they don't want to go through that cycle all over again in a few years time! (when M Mount dies) Initially, for the Canon Rebel buyers, all they need to initially do is put out an APS-C Kit Zoom Lens at the same time as an APS-C RF Mount camera is released. Exactly. You just described my sister, and many many others. Am inclined to agree, at the very least it will take many decades.

Who remembers the original URSA Mini announcement from years ago? If I recall correctly, they did say it had a gyroscope built in to record that data for VFX work in post. Of course, in the final launch that feature got dropped. But maybe as this gets more popular, such as the FX9, then we'll see more and more having it. Time for an URSA Mini Pro G3 with the promised gyroscope?? If BMD puts it in the URSA Mini Pro G3 then it is certain to be supported in Resolve as well!

If you're never hardwiring yourself to a camera, then you've got nothing to worry about. Otherwise, use a phantom blocker. ( I never have, as when I used my F4 I was only rarely hardwired and when I was I just simply took care with what I was doing) They should do the same job, but the Triton Audio is smaller.

24,000 ISO is kinda getting ridiculous for most purposes, what do you need it for? Why not just use T0.95 lenses then you could get a Panasonic G9/GH5 for sub US$1K?

Interesting theory @kye, I'd love to believe it too, but what makes MFT sensors so much more special for automotive cameras vs using 1" sensor (or even smaller)?

I'm a Sound Mixer, and yet a C Stand still rates as one of my best investments ever.

There is a setting in Facebook Memories that you can make it never bring up a past post with certain people in it, so they're excluded. Exactly so that ex GFs / dead relatives / etc don't come up again. Also, I strongly doubt Facebook will be around in 60yrs! Remember Friendster? Bebo? Myspace? Geocities?

There goes Blackmagic once again ignoring the hot new trends of the current year and doing their own thing instead! 1080 per camera is too little for VR Record internally, and use a switcher/combiner for the director/you to monitor what's happening in the scene. Z Cam E2 really is the best option right now for multicam 360VR setup on a "low budget". Careful now, you can't say that in 2020! Hard to know when a much better option than the E2 will come out. If I was to take a wild guess: If the GH6 comes out with a new sensor (which is by no means at all certain, the GH6 might be sticking with the GH5 or GH5S sensor but pushing it further) then perhaps a year later Z Cam (or maybe BMD, but unlikely, think they'll stick with the "Pocket" form factor rather than making another Micro successor?) will bring out a "Z Cam E3" which will be better than the E2 in every way. That's your best bet to wait for? There are always other outside chances, maybe Kinefinity brings out a surprise "Terra Micro" which is amazing? But unlikely. So either get an E2 (or dedicated 360VR camera, not a multicam setup) or pin your hopes on maaaybe something better coming out (which is still going to be a year or two away).

Does anybody recognise what TV show this is from? Guessing a Reality TV Show.

Am one of those people who purchased a BMPCC years ago brand new for $500! In fact just last week Facebook Memories recommended to me a photo of the BMPCC with my lenses on it as "on this day 7 years ago". (amazed how time flew by!) eBay pricing seems a bit mad to me at the moment. For instance seems mad to me to pay more for a GH2 than a G6! Plus I think COVID19 has pushed up the prices on some things (especially "famous" options like the GH2 or BMPCC which people might settle their minds upon if they've only done a moderate amount of research into the topic). Lots of people stuck at home so thinking they'll try out a new hobby such as photography or take up youtubing. Am waiting for the looming economic collapse when people are FORCED to sell off their nice cameras to make rent.... evil? Yeah, but practical. Hold off on buying anything just yet!

I think brand new newbie buyers are less married to their lens collection (because they have none! Or almost none) than long time pros, so those Rebel DSLR buyers would be easier to push over into buying an APS-C RF Mount Camera instead.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CtQSfUtHCeBSQEFdh7C23pQTKRiR91Zl/view DARN IT! There is no DCI 4K 😞 That was my first thought too, for vloggers wide end matters more than tele. And 20mm FF is pretty sweet for that. Yes, currently from Panasonic. But with the dirt cheap EOS RP / a7Smk2 etc on the market, then it is worthwhile Panasonic considering an even cheaper model. (especially as they've said they won't bring out an APS-C L Mount body) oh god I hope not! At least don't make it worse than the G95 "blunder". I won't mind ditching the EVF for a cheaper price, just keep the flip out screen! Totally, will be kinda weird that the S5 has this but the S1 doesn't:

Neither! Get yourself better audio/lighting/grip/support gear instead. Especially as you've got a Samsung NX1, which even in 2020 is still a very solidly good hybrid camera.
