nah A7S III will 99,9% not be 10bit. If you got the money, the c300 II is the best option. It might be noisyer, but you will be able to clean it up in post where you will not have any playroom with the A7S. Im hoping the C100 III will be 10bit and RAW to external recorder. Then I will be all over that.

Sony will not put 10bit in the a7s iii, probaly best spec upgrade will be 60fps 4k.

Yeah Im on windows, so I got no clue how to install the prores codec (Premiere/AE/resolve)on windows. Otherwise that would probably be my preferred solution.

Sorry to bring this topic back up. But this is something I run in against every single time. So I am doing some tests(youtube). -H264: 10 bitrate ==> 35mm grain =>unusable - DNxHD: 195 (windows so MXF) ==> 35mm grain => only slightly better Will try to upload later today with H264 huge bitrate and try with 8mm grain. (will also test out the quicktime render settings).

Hey, I am selling a full anamorphic set. Kowa bell and howell 2X if you are interested. (which should be sharpest anamorphic option out there at this pricepoint).

+1 Blackmagic is also in the game(hinging behind on the high end cinema lines). But I would like some more competition, as ARRI and RED prices are way beyond any hobbyist like myself can afford. But I do want that quality as I am really bored with all these DSLR specs and codecs. I would love a affordable cinema camera with a alexa or dragon image. If they only priced the alexa mini 5-10k I would be set for years.

Hey Luke, How do you like the GH5 compared to the A7S II, does it replace the A7SII (except low light, full frame and more DR)? Thanks!

Hmm seems I will be passing on the GH5, it seems like a decent step up from the GH4. But the highlight roll off seems bad, and the image is still videoish(I know you can work around it, I have done it with the GH3 and GH4), but my main interest was the anamorphic mode, so as long there is no 10bit anamorphic I will not consider it. Its not a bad camera, but I feel like it isnt the right camera for me right now. I wish magic lantern could get ML raw working on the 5D IV, but that will probably also not happen. So I will be fishing for a used RED, kinefinity or ursa mini 4.6k instead, but I still got time so maybe NAB has got some good surprises in store for me.

In that case, please make a GH5 without ibis, so people who dont want ibis can have a GH5 cheaper. V-log is just a software update not even hardware. Everybody has already bought it for their GH4 to extend the GH4 life, now we need to buy it again on a brand new camera....? Well maybe were speaking too soon, lets wait on the actual broadcast.

Yeah no free V-log what the heck. Inlude RAW video aswell and then I shall pay 100€ for the update. Make the image and codec better, instead of trying to include IBIS, PDAF or anything like that no filmmakers cares about(yeah I know cinema camera's are in a other league but it would be damned nice).

Personally I find that fuji has the best color science out there not only mirroless, but basically everything. Maybe loses against Arri. As for now I shoot with an A7S ii, but want to upgrade this. Hopefully the GH5 will blow it out of the water. Not sure if it can do that. The anamorphic options are a big win for the GH series. And Sony will probably wait 5 years for implementing any anamorphic on their cameras. But if the image out of the GH5 somewhat dissapoints, I think I will save up for a RED raven or kinefinity terra or ursa mini 4.6k.

Its marked in feets

Well I own a A7S II right now, and I hope the GH5 will blow it out of the water(I dont need iso over 3200).

I am also selling mine for 500€, pm me if interested.

- There is quite some noise there though. In the close ups its ok, but when you look at the wide shot its bouncing around everywhere(look at the right guys pants). - The skintones look off to me, way too red. But it is winter, so that might also come into play. - The image seems to be quite the same as the GH4, maybe somewhat cleaner and more detailed. But this footage does not have that wow factor to me, but it is a interview after all(but also the ice shots, look way too yellow and that hotspot behind the glass is drawing my attention. I feel like a 1DX II might have done a better job then this. But lets wait till next week, and hopefully some side by sides with other cameras will come out soon.

Hey, I was just wondering, shouldnt the blackmagic ursa mini 4.6k have a pricedrop soon, as its already almost 2 years after announcement and it is still listed the same price. Your thoughts? Cheers,

Yeah I would like to see a street night shot at iso 1600 at F-stop 2.8. To see how much noise there is + we could also see how it handles highlight rolloff(if there is something bright in the frame like a street light)

Yeah prices are dropping fast on the MX camera's. If you got time, I reckon you can get a used epic mx kit for 5-k in 6 months as tech is changing fast, as more ravens and scarlet-w's have hit the market. Im sticking to my A7S II for another 6 months, then I shall see what way I will go. GH5 might be a cheap option though, but Ill have to wait and see.

Thanks all for the kind words!

So whatever it is what you are testing How are the noise levels comparing it to a GH4? As on the GH4 iso1600 was unusable for me. Hopefully on this new camera there will be a massive improvement on this department. And how about the Dynamic Range, is it small upgrade or quite good? And finally is it still the same codec or could we expect something different like h265? Thanks!

Hey, I visited Japan for a week, and tested out the 5D III and to see what it can do with Magic Lantern.

yeah the 5DIII RAW is awesome(I preferred it to my C300 cause the LCD screen on the C300 sucks, bokeh and colorwise ) but is not 4K and it lacks a bit of detail and sharpness, not the mention the timeabsorbing workflow.

yeah if you can find a good RED mx for that price, I would go for the RED MX. Only downside for me is its size, as I can not use it on my ronin-m. Otherwise I would be doing the same. Guess I have to wait until the RED Epic-x prices drop below 4k, or over a year when I might buy a used kinefinity terra. So probably the GH5 will be my next purchase in the meantime.

8:29 I would pick the Phantom 4 any day. The sensor on the mavic is also smaller then the P4.

Well if you need it to be compact as it can get. Get the Mavic. If you dont mind a tab bit more bigger drone, that has better IQ then go with the phantom 4.
