@Cas1, color has greatly improved, GX and G85 cameras offer great colors already. GH5 has great color as example above and others show. But it´s always easy to screw color up:)

I was hoping for footage of yours with Olympus glass. But what is this, looks like an ad for a photoshop alternative:) I was thinking at first, what, kidz is posting in the shooting section and hardly anybody is finding your awesome stuff here. Why not post it in the main section? What I found is a surprise then:) My only mft oly lens is the classy and cheap 45mm 1.8. Great AF photolens, must have for m43 photolover.

@Matt Kieley, nice, I really like what you get out of these Sony DSLMs. I like the color palette as your honor the Sony color and don´t try to fight against it to look like Alexa:) I was thinking BMPCC. What is your recipe or color profile? I think what works well that hues are towards one direction rather than trying to have a strong color contrast. Chicken color give the main impulse for color palette.

@kidzrevil, for your A6500. You are so posh, baby! Now show me some magic! Edit: my apologies to all of you. I meant, of course: Now show US some magic, please:)

Version 2.2.2 jonpais mode- beautiful lens simulation modes with just the kitlens:) I think he has not let go the pleasure of posting on eoshd under another anonymous alias. Oh, and thanks for providing some reading pleasure. Edit: Ebrahim is providing some funky statements on dpreview, I must say. A7riii as no1 and a6500 as no2, sl2 no3, funky! some unknown people have been offering even more expensive stuff. Always seems kinda odd to me when super new people are offering stuff for sale.

Guys, I wrote a few days ago, full VLOG curve. I am sure. Best colors yet in the realm of EOSHD cameras.

Hey John, AVCHD has 50i to 25p and 24mpbs, MP4 has 25p and 20mpbs. So first one has higher bitrate and second one higher resolution, if I figured that right. I would go with the true 1080p and MP4, as it has 20mpbs for twice the resolution in the y axis than the AVCHD 1080i is providing.

Hey, CFL can look pretty gruesome.. Sometimes it can be very nice to have a bit of illumination in the background as well. So if practicals at hand and if logical, they can be used to nice effect. I would suggest tungsten light for being cheap and reliable. Bounce it off a bedsheet f.i. to soften it to your likeing. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DIMMER-BUILT-IN-VIDEO-STUDIO-CONTINUOUS-RED-HEAD-LIGHT-800W-LIGHTING-TUNGST-RHK/281927016626?epid=687099510&hash=item41a428e0b2:g:fF0AAOSwnLdWs1PQ Here is a nice guide for a quick setup utilizing indirect bounced light and ambient background light. It´s can come very handy and with appealing effect for an interview to have a light falloff from you subject to the background. Maybe some other people can chim in to comment on the CFL part of things. this one is very fun and quick to watch with some basic principles one can utilize:

Number 1 legit German camera tech sit slashcam tested the EVA1 throughout. They call it the possibly best sub 10000 camera available and a hit to come. For the people wondering about 8 and 10 bit difference of c200 and EVA1 codec, here is a comparison of a shot they pushed 5 stops in post: https://www.slashcam.de/images/texte/1637-CanonC2008Bit5stopsUNder-CanonC2008Bit5stopsUNder.jpg https://www.slashcam.de/images/texte/1637-EVA10Bit_5stopsunder-EVA10Bit_5stopsunder.jpg https://www.slashcam.de/images/texte/1637-C200_12Bi5stopstUnder-C200_12Bi5stopstUnder.jpg Canon 8bit with 148mbit, EVA 10 bit with 150mbit, Canon Rawlite with 1000mbit.

So would that be 12fps raw until card is full? Would work with electronic shutter as well, right?

That is a good point. I have not found any true to the term shorfilm done with this wonderful XT2 on the web. Neither with cameras like the G7, GX85, G85, GH5 barely. I would love to see a Fuiji color shortfilm some time. But won´t happen soon, I´m sure.

Now these beauties would be a nice sight. Please don´t ever sell them:) What Cmount adapter do you recommend for the Fujinon 12.5mm? I bought one this summer laying around, because of lack of adapter. Would be like a 28 on m43, kinda an interesting fov:) But sure, for the wide end it would have to be something else, like mercers Fujinon 12.5.

@mercer, pocket some batteries with the pocket, bring your backpack with the RX10:) no swiss army knife out there, at least not pocket size. Btw, the 20mm is not just a pancake but some of the sharpest m43 lenses around, close to the 25mm 1.4. TStop is awesome, between 1.6 and 1.7. Would love to have that lens in a housing of a mechanical lens. Like inazuma said, focussing is no fun at all.

Glenn, no I have not. I graded some BMPCC Prores. Worked fine. A S16 Blackmagic camera in a nice and practical formfactor with EVF, around GH5 price, Isn´t that something we all would love to see?:) Heck, a XC15 with cmount IBIS and 10bit. @IronFilm I will check that. Well, guys, thanks for your contributions and ideas!

Where have you been watching it? Vimeo on demand? These 3ccd HD cameras are more expensive than a Sony F3, I said that before in anstonishment. There is someting exiting in having a camera with 3ccds larger than the ones in the EX1 with a 422 codec, even available in 10bit AVC Intra flavor. Just something from the guts. Also having a real shoulder cam with these stats is appealing. Just a yummy package. That deal on adorama is tempting though:) This is another documentary about Bmovie filmmaking, about the lengendary Roger Corman, with legends like Jack Nicholson, Ron Howard, Julie Corman and the likes, a whole bunch of very delightful people. Jack Nicholson is especially charming.

@Milton Lopes Hey Milton, great post and fun to read. A lot of people here are not native speakers of English. Your text was written in perfect English and moreso in perfect manner. Those shots you did have beautiful color.

@fuzzynormal, that´s a fine piece of filmmaking! Indeed gritty, rough around the edges, done with much skill and dedication and soul! Thanks for sharing! Plotwise it is absolutely okay. It works well to give us viewers kinetic energy to witness. The two leads are very well in their roles and awesome dancers as well. The dancing did a great deal to the film and contritbuted additional appeal to it with such skilled dancing and artful motion and expression. Judging from your stills, the XAH1 was a great choice indeed for your feature. Colors show that 3CCD magic even on the small stills on your site.

5.7k of eva might translate into 4K for GH5 might translate into eva sensor in m43 size and 4k pixel count. So maybe full VLOG curve and dual iso with 2500 iso. Well, will be fun to see how our speculation will compare to the news on the 15th.

It would be a heck of a trumpingly tremendeous:) campaign to have Casey Neistat show off their new revolutionary AF of this new camera. The perfect vlogging camera, all these vlogging vips of the utubs universe have been bragging about. People would go nuts and buy it for 2799, just for the best in class AF, Casey Neistat proven. It will be a great time to buy used GH5 cameras very soon.:)

Hey Max, out of likes for today. Looking great. So, did you focus manually or with PDAF? Do you like RAWLite better than C300II codec?

It depends. If pension, it´s regular income, if middleclass, it might be of pleasing amount, if in Vietnam, maginficient place for filming. Overkill is all the technology we are using our natural resources on, TVs, smarphones with the calculating power of workstations just a few years ago, everything is overkill. So, taking the essence, I get out of your comment regarding 7000USd for one lens: No, I wouldnt buy it, rather have the Veydra and other fun lenses for shooting, stayin light and sharp. I would love to see more of that 16mm Veydra and that 8mm 2.0 wonder. But it also takes a lot of work to do these videos Jon does. So I am happy for the insights you gave us, Jon. Thank you for that!

I am just recognizing the terrible low light screenshots you have posted. They show super weird and nasty processing under these low light conditions. That would indeed be relevant to me if evaluating the Zs image quality. Another thing, 60mpbs bit rate for h264 UHD is too low for a variety of shots with motion rather than a photographic stills setup. So to me, I repeat, to me, it suggests, image quality is worse for the Z. Thank you for your testing, which I have always appreciated and I highly value. Just on that Z camera, I see it differently. I must say, your Yi 4K footage has impressed me. For daylight that would be a fun camera. For the not modded version, how can one tame the fisheye effect?

@Trek of Joy It would be no benefit to the EVA1:)

It is really enjoyable and it hits some serious notes as well, the disappearance of the "middleground B movie", "the important playingfield.. open for experiments", "important entrance into filmmaking". I paraphrased but put in quotes for readability. Instead of Bmovie with a B movie audience and market, there are thousands of Cmovies with almost no market and small audience on one hand, on the other we have A features- the typical stuff, Television, web stuff. In the documentary it´s noted that Wynorski already moved from C to B and some of his originial spirit and drive of the past of B movies has been lost to his newer efforts, super quickly made booby films. One guys says in the documentary about shooting time for a feature, I´m paraphrasing, "first they do it in 48, then 30, then 18, then 12, then in three days". A very interesting and fun and kinda sad but very entertaining documentary. The main actress states something impressive about her pride in working as an actress, despite the lack of opportunities for working in B and A movies again. @kaylee, maybe it does, kinda also looks like Oscar bait:) I think it does both. I am sure it does both. @mercer yeah about GH2 and GH1, we talked about that before, them kids really gave theirs cameras a ride for what they are worth. Best DSLM stuff and REAL shortfilm filmmaking. I won´t look for cool footage done with GH5 anymore, just slomo, walking behind subjects and did I say slomo. Rather watch footage of cats and trees and just people. I think I found a camera I would love to try out. Panasonic HPX-3000, 3 CCDs!, writes to cards, HD, AVC Intra 10bit 100mbps. Much more expensive still than a Sony F3 or Black Magic Cinema these days. @fuzzynormal great write up. I can really relate to that so much. Films don´t have to succeed at every level all the time, some masterpiece do, but the should rather show some kind of guts, energy, mojo. What festival are you working at. Would love to send you an entry once it´s done. It is campy in some parts, unfortunately and less so in others, unfortunately too, but it is colorful and quirky, not perfect but fun to watch. Well, it will be, once post is done:) Will watch the shortfilm you posted above in a bit.

And still more shitty movies are made than ever before. It´s human nature to sell stuff. It´s human nature to see that and reflect upon that, unless other parts of human nature take over and make people buy a Sony A6300 as A camera for a low budget feature film:) Seriously, human nature has us tricked into all different directions and has us pulled back out again. Enough talking, give me your GH5:)
