BMCC 2.5k Director talks about it here. http://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=33009

She sounds like a very unpleasant person. They're out there. Try not to get hung up on what negative people think, don't let them dissuade you, just keep doing your thing.
-
If you ever feel like posting a vid of your EM5 ii plus $30 stabilizer in action I'd like to see what it's capable of. I suppose as you get more practice with it the results will get even better.
-
Footage is looking decent. Not as nice as a Blackmagic Pocket but not terrible. Looks as good as good as a hacked GH2 to me.

Pilotfly has a gopro version that is only $334. Wish there was something that affordable for slightly larger cameras like the lx100. Looking at youtube vids I'm impressed with the quality. http://copter-rc.com/en/catalog/24-pilotfly-funnygo-3axis-stabilizer-for-gopro-3-3-4.html

What about the LX100? Or maybe wait to see what the GX7 replacement offers. Also, the G6 has come down in price and can produce some really nice footage. Though I think the LX100 is an even better value.
-
If you need high frame rates maybe wait and see what the nx500 is gonna offer. There's a post on here about the nx1 possibly being able to do 240fps via a firmware update. That would be insane and incredibly useful for skateboard vids. Maybe wait and see how much of the NX1 vid capability gets passed down to the NX500. They already announced a firmware update for the NX500 and it's not even out yet. So maybe they'll keep improving it.

Have you considered the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera? I suspect it will come down in price after NAB. B & H recently had a deal where you could get the Pocket, the Panasonic 14-140, an extra battery, and a memory card for under a grand. To my eyes, it's still likely to produce the best looking image in something under a grand. This was shot with Blackmagic cameras by someone who clearly knows what they were doing and could've made any camera look good, but still, it's pretty remarkable: http://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=33009

Right. Though he does have the Pocket as well.

I wonder how much better something like the Nebula 4000 is compared to the IBIS. I just watched a comparison vid between the GH4 and EM5ii and the Olympus stabilization is truly awesome. It's such a shame they haven't seriously stepped up their video quality, because that stabilization is remarkable.

I'd get the Blackmagic Pocket but wait till after NAB in about a month. Actually, B & H is currently offering a very good deal on the Pocket if you have to have something right now: you get the camera, a 64 GB card, an extra battery, and the Panasonic 14-140 for just under $1,000. Don't know if they ship to Spain. But I'd still prefer to wait and see if the original Pocket settles in at $500 after NAB- if a new one is announced. For me, the Blackmagic produces a much more cinematic image than anything at a comparable price. There is something really special about the footage coming out of the Pocket. Link to the B & H deal: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1021120-REG/blackmagic_design_pocket_cinema_camera_and.html

Andrew's frustration with Olympus is palpable. I appreciate his honesty.
-
Why doesn't the NX1 shoot raw video? Seems like if Nikon, Samsung, or Olympus added this they'd get a ton of business overnight and be on the map for videographers.

Dog Schidt Optiks Flare Factory 58 (PL Mount) Review
Flynn replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
I don't like to see animals suffering and it looked like the little fella was hurting in the vid. But maybe they were just begging. It's good to know there are no strays in Berlin. It's a terrible problem in the rest of the world. -
Dog Schidt Optiks Flare Factory 58 (PL Mount) Review
Flynn replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Did all of those dogs have owners or were some strays? I found it very upsetting seeing the little dog holding it's paw up, like it was injured. -
Could this be the first camera using the organic sensor developed by Panasonic and Fuji? "Organic sensors have lots of potential. Instead of using comparatively large and potentially noisy photodiodes at each pixel, this type of sensor has an extremely thin light-sensitive organic layer covering its surface. Fujifilm and Panasonic announced the joint development of organic CMOS sensor technology in 2013. But, as yet, no camera has been released. So what’s the big deal with organic sensors? According to Fuji and Panasonic, their technology offers the ‘industry’s highest dynamic range of 88dB’, improved sensitivity (think lower noise) compared with regular CMOS sensors and the ability to mount the lens closer to the sensor (so cameras can be further reduced in size). Consequently, organic sensors have the potential to produce improved performance from smaller sensors. The prospect of a higher resolution APS-C sensor with a market-leading signal-to-noise ratio is a tempting one." http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2014/09/17/the-future-of-photography-7-camera-features-you-will-see-before-you-die/2/

There were rumors about Panasonic working on a new organic sensor that could represent a breakthrough. I'm with those of you who are extremely skeptical about this rumor, but I won't be entirely shocked if there is some truth to it.
-
Curious how useful the autofocus is for video and how it compares to other cameras.
-
Weird, I found most of them to be usable/impressive. I guess our needs/expectations are just vastly different.
-
I'd go with the Voigtlanders. What do you plan on using for stabilization though? No interest in the 12-35 f2.8? Too slow for you?
-
Thanks for posting that Cinegain. I never thought it was perfect. Still consider it amazing though, especially for those who wish to travel light and don't want to rig up their camera. For me, I consider the issues he brings up to be relatively minor. They pale in comparison to the usefulness of it IMO.
