Just read again some reviews from the launch and remembered the gripes that I had when saw them (not including not use the 20mp for stills). Since some people here got the camera after Andrew's review, maybe you could help me - found a E-m10 III new with a VERY good price (which is rare here in Brazil) - to decide if I go for it. Will be a somewhat lenghty post because of it, sorry (here you don't have the option to return the camera as in the USA). After reading all the manual and remembering my times with the E-M10 MK I and E-M5 MK II, these are my doubts: - There are highlight / shadows warnings in stills / movie modes? (I know that they appear in playback, but don't remember if they appear in live view) - Is it possible to have in display BOTH the histogram and the level gauge? - Some earlier Olympus cameras, when using Spot metering, only meters the center of the frame. AFAIK, they introduced the option to make the spot metering meters the same Af single spot, when using this mode (which is the desired behaviour for me), selectable in menus. Did not find this option in the E-M10 MK III manual, hence I wonder which is the behaviour now. - Sad to see the you still have to assign two buttons to engage peaking and zoomed view together (in the GX85 it is engaged with a single back dial press). Peaking is reliable when using the default view for focus, not the enlarged one? (in Panasonics is defintely not the case) - There is no option to set the bit rate in movie mode in 4k, is it true? - The internal mikes are ok? GX85 had worse mics than GX7. - Some review said that ISO can only be adjusted in full stops (200, 400, 800, 1600...). Is it true? - it is not possible to start recording using the shutter button (even in video mode), you have to use the dedicated video button? - Is it possible to change aperture / ISO in 4k manual video mode using the dials? Thanks in advance for any answers.

There are some 1080p/60 good samples of it? (For me it is the achilles heel of the GX85). @Andrew Reid, how are the controls behaviour when filming? I recall that when I read the first reviews of the E-M10 III there where a lot of comments saying that the physical controls were bad. Unfortunately don't recall if it was for stills or movies (for sure it keeps my major complaint about Oly cameras - to engage focus peaking + focus assist (enlarged image) with adapted lenses in stills you need to program and push 2 different buttons, in the Panasonic a single button engage both modes).

What are the preorder prices?

If a men need manual lenses to feel real, AF is not the problem. Waiting game. In Formula 1 racing, sometimes the teams keep waiting (and even faking) the moment of tyre change to try to get the opponent of guard and gain an advantage. In this case, I think that Panasonic is clearly waiting to see what Sony will bring to the A7SIII, and release the S cameras with the exactly set to compete or beat it - and hopefully (for them) not going too far and robbing EVA1 buyers. I also think that the kind of huge size of the S cameras is exactly go crazy in video specs if they needed large heat dissipation - if not need, they could use the handling excuse. I'm not buying the 70%-30% video using - Panasonic should know that their strong point over the others is superior video performance. Already stating 4K60 is another hint in that direction.

Selling a kidney takes time.

Then they gone for a XT-2/3 hinge style. In this case @Adam Kuźniar is right, and is a very bad LCD hinge for video indeed.

Yes you could, if it is the same hinge as the Fuji XT-100, as some reported.

It passed kind of under the radar after the FF announcement. https://www.43rumors.com/wow-panasonic-announces-the-10-25mm-f-1-7-micro-four-thirds-lens/ For GH5 users, looks like a very interesting lens (albeit the price will probably be eye watering).

Depends on taste - from a hybrid (not video focused) point of view this approach (for me) is much more appealing. Tilt screens are better for stills - less fiddling, faster to deploy, better for waist shots. For video, is ok too (not so much for some rigs or gimbal). And if you need a front LCD view for vlogging, you are covered too.

Well, I was bang on on this one. Panasonic was stubborn for years about IBIS too... The rest looks interesting. Aggressive lens roadmap (without too much details) too.

The camera have sensors to record the camera movement, hence the software knows the direction and the intensity of each camera movement. Did not looked extensively, but I guess that the footage does not comes stabilized straight out of camera, guess that you have to stabilize it in a GoPro software - than you don't need a lot of processing power on camera, it only records the footage and sensors data to feed the software. But I could be wrong.

Hope to be wrong, but my bet is that they will keep CDAF with DFD, after the "AI DFD" rumors...

Great. Interested in handling, since in some reviews mentioned that controls were dumbed down from the MK II. if it only had a 20mp sensor...

If you could make a dual post (GX9 and E-M10 III), would be terrific.

ML needs a firmware dump or upgrade with the code packed to start working, no? Only the camera would be useless.

400mbps in 4k60 in All-I and Long GOP in H.265 (could be a mistake, because 400mbps Long GOP in H.265 is VERY high), 200bps or 100 mbps in 4k30 and below (10 bit 4:2:0 in H.265 and 8 bit 4:2:0 in H.264). DPreview have a full table on https://***URL removed***/reviews/fujifilm-x-t3-first-impressions-review/2 If this camera had IBIS, would be shut up and take my money. Waiting for the real world reviews (as other cameras), but looks like a shot out of the park by Fuji. Amazing.

What I got in this thread is that most of the EOSHD user with a degree in journalism are working in marketing - which show the decline of journalism around the world... (I'm not a journalist, but most of my friends are, and I'm married to one that - you guessed it - is transitioning to marketing )

Until now, from the new bunch, liked the Z6 most. Looked more cohesive, good specs overall, IBIS, af joystick, video looks good, af looks good - all subjected to change in real world. Will be a very interesting comparison with the A7III. EOS R looks to have some interesting features in the controls layout - but waste a left dial to a on-off switch is a very strange choice. But huge crop and no IBIS was a bummer for video. Looks a good stills camera. It's a Canon, will sell very well. Have to wait for the Panasonic. A FF GH5 would be a winner, but I expect to have a higher price to not destroy the m43 line (at least now). Mount is a mistery - don't believe in a EF mount.

Well, 43rumors said with FT5 that the new high end Olympus due to January will be a new higher end m43, with "new sensor" and "advanced video features". Looks no FF for Oly yet.

This is an instance when everybody wants LOT LESS "depth of field"

But probably will sell like hotcakes. Canon have a very strong brand, and some real strenghts - good ergos, excellent color, reability. And just need to look how the M50 is selling - is far from being a bad camera, but (in my opinion) is not the best option in the price range. More sad even is that it could be a VERY good camera with some little changes. But why to spend money in features if people buy the brand? When I was in London last year was amazed by the number of EOS M6 on the streets - literally half of the mirroless models that I saw in hands of tourists. And all my friends that don't know photography and wants an opinion about buying a camera only asks about Canon models.

I am always amazed how people could predict the future of the camera market share (always with only one maker surviving) with cameras that are not even launched yet. About the Canon, great lenses line start, but don't forget that this will be an announcement - rumors said that will no be on market before mid-2019 (if this was not updated). Looks like a solid camera, but I'm in the camp that thinks 5D MKIV cropped 4k. But only when all the cameras are on the field and the second batch of reviews were published (1st reviews nowadays are almost always "positive") we will now if these new FF cameras are all that we hope. Time to wait.

43rumors guy guess (only guessing, no info) that it could use the Leica SL mount. Kind of logic, since Panasonic and Leica have a lot of cooperation, but since SL mount diameter with 48,8mm of diameter is barely larger than Sony E (46,1 mm) and less than Canon EF (54mm), maybe it is not a good idea...

Thom Hogan said that their Nikon sources said that because of the bigger mount, the new 35mm and 50mm Z lenses have much better optical capabilities than predecessor lenses - in fact, claiming exceptional corner performance. Let's see.

Yeah, but with the low light sensibility of the last batch of FF cameras, it is somewhat less relevant than before, no? Of course that is better to use the lowest ISO possible, but we have more clean ISO range now than before.
