"Panasonic also announced the EVA1 and VariCam LT will take full advantage of the new ProRes RAW software for a faster and more efficient RAW workflow;" EVA1 is the bare minimum, at the moment.

How's the GH5S looks now?!

As I said, canon TOUCH DPAF is the thing and you change focus for everything and forever (almost!). The one and only for pro use, and still I prefer manual for critical stuff. It is that good, that I still waiting for my C100mkIII! I did a couple of jobs as focus puller recently and the actors hitting their marks was 1 out of 10, or never! Seriously dissapointing, and one day we were filming the ending on the Acropolis, so we had only one day to shot all the sequence, and only magic hour for the last scene so no time to rehearse or measure, then you have only your experience and the feel of your lenses and focus equipment. In the NX hack/mod there is an app that you can set points and stuff. If anyone has used it can comment, but I believe it works similar to the Pana one

The JVC LS300 was great, a lot were sold to wedding and event shooters, we even use one for a documentary series (the cable station cut our preferred C100mkII because of the codec, by the way) and it brought a lot of innovation to the table. If any of the big players had such a camera (sold a little bit less than a A7Sii, at the time) it would have been a huge hit. EVF unusable, monitor close to unusable (using external one at all times and Zaccuto EVF). Some people still use one together with their GH5 cameras. The main issue we have(had) was the severe crop in slow motion (I used my NX1 cameras exclusively for 100/120frames), the not so great J-log, and the sensor was quite noisy above 800ISO, or we were spoiled by the C100. Definitely reluctant to use on 1600ISO (which I believe is a sane expectation to have in the end of the century). All the rest were amazing. Seriously waiting to something above LS300, what we lack are cameras near 5.000euros. C200/FS5ii are (will be) expensive for my use. EVA/UrsaMP also. Panasonic fit everything one needs on a (huge) hybrid body, why not have similar features and specs on a slightly bigger cine/video form? Very excited about the Atomos 5", but for people wanting only monitoring, I doubt a recorder will ever bring the same portability and ease of use. I used the BlackMagic 5" once and it was nothing like the Focus. For everyone else, it will be an instant hit. Especially for a price close to SmallHD Focus monitor.

...and drink some more!

What ISO was that? I wathced in 2K, there is a lot of noise in the image, the darks are very dark (my monitor is supposedly color corrected). I usually have contrast in -4, to be compatible with FilmConvert color profiles too. Your DIS occasionally plays some tricks on you also! Amazing place, you are very lucky living there (or near there!). I usually have Master Black at 5, but I would lie if I said I have seen big differences between different settings. What Master Black anyone use?

@Ty HarperNot at all. That is why I did post that here, didn't try the anglened thing though, but I had seen the videos myself. Probably a bad batch, as I read positive reviews elsewhere. Theie support is second to none also. Really impeessed so far, I just hope the rubber feet will stick this time! I am not sure you can stabilize a bigger camera there, even though they say that small cine cameras can, and the Flex head is mandatory for balancing and framing reasons. The battery kit is from Wasabi. Next week I will use them on a more demanding shoot and that will be the final test, hope everything will be fine in front of very important customers.

Agree. Too much pampering for that camera to really be productive. Beware, maybe a new XC camera with EOS M mount, is around the corner (possibly not!) with touch dual pixel AF and all the good Canon things, and usual 8bit codecs!

I just got the Edlekrone OnePro recently (I had the older version) and works like a charm on my tests. I tried NX1 with the 16-50S and Canon 5DmkIII with various zoom lenses and works as it should, which is amazing for such a small and cheap device. I will be waiting to see what this little box really does (and if it works..out of the box..) because I have the Surface Pro already, which does most of the Box does.

..a wee bit! http://store.smallhd.com/store/FOCUS-OLED-Micro-HDMI-NPFW50 The touch interface is best in business though. SmallHD deserve their profit for sure. It wasn't long ago that similar monitors (for their time) cost multiple times this money.

This can be huge for Black Magic, and us. The previous one was an ergonomic (and not only) disaster, non pocketable at all, if you had to work with it.

Maybe it is not a very good example because is nothing like real focus pulling. It starts completely out of focus too. The correct title should have been "Has X brand killed off focus pullers?", and the closest to the X = Canon, with touch dual pixel Focus with the appropriate cine lens (or the hybrid "cheap" CN-E 18-80/70-200).

Wow! That Focus OLED is sexy, but 350nits just isn't enough under the hot, almost permanent, Greek sun. If that number was over, or close to 500, then I would have serious buyers remorse for my Focus! 5.5" is the absolute best for small minotors though. @BTM_Pix I seriously believe this is your panel!

Can anyone sum it up a bit? We started from 1.99 and now we are to 1 and 0.5 and 0 and everything in between?!? @BTM_pix did a very interesting tool for Panasonic cameras on another recent thread to search for optimal settings more systimatically and methodically. We may need something similar.

I know nothing about NX raw, but for sure, that hypothetical person can bring along his Sony wireless, so you could mic the whole Northern Island! Believe it or not, this Tascam is the most used by top "old school" professionals here. Great machine though. @webrunner5 very beautiful, and I know from first hand, that Irish women are very strong will-ed, and not, ever boring! From your description, seems that you are very lucky had her in your life.

@BTM_Pix Great analytical mind, just wish you were in the NX camp when the mod/hack scene was a thing! Amazing stuff, nevertheless!

Exactly! as I said, I went mirrorless for small pancakes (the NX 30mm 2f was my first, extremely small, sharp, and extra white - my version!), small/light/cheap ultra wide zooms (I like em wide, the 12-24 was my kit lens for some time) and then I have 4-5 legacy lenses from 50-55-58mm (from 1.4-1.8f) so that was my main use for a couple of years (NX300/3000/500 bodies are similarly small, or smaller to the M50). For pro work, something like the NX1 or the Fuji H-1 are more preferable of course (better grip, battery life, extra features/buttons/in-out, for all those you will need the battery grip on the Fuji though, and it is already bigger and heavier than the NX, but these two are the only Pro mirrorless bodies around, in the video sense of course, I mostly talk about video). The 50mm (now I use mostly the NX 45mm 1.8f, exceptional little lens, for 250-280 euros new, back then) is an interesting portrait lens, close to the classic 85mm (usually 85mm on APS-C is too tele for my use and small-ish places) but more versatile and sufficient for even closer portraits (with a couple of steps forward!). The 4K crop makes the 11-22mm mandatory for the camera, especially for Vlogers (anything more tele, just not usable I guess).

They will, as soon as the C300mkII is due to been replaced, and most (all) other brands are offering 10bit for cheaper. Even JVC can bring 10bit for less than 3999$, easily! But I wouldn't buy a camera (and not a very cheap one, especially in Europe), with Ifs and Maybes. Do we even know how much specialized cine/video cameras sell around the world, or specific places? In photo/hybrid cameras we have CIPA to get an indication, at least.

Maybe it's not even the right corner you are looking at! When I returned home from studying/working/living abroad for half a dozen of years, starting to create back my network (that I had lost, for living so many years abroad, as my previous working life in my native country was even less!) that same year the financial crisis happened (and still goes on here! and it will for at least another 4-5 years, the best part of our lives), and had to realistically adapt to the situation (less expensive equipment, doing camera work as well, e.t.c). Sonosax is great though, if they bring the SD 10T to my country (it is not in sale, and the 6 costs 1800euros!!) and in a normal price, I think that is a better deal, for the situation. I hope you do the Sonosax, or whatever move you want soon. NZ seems like a healthy market with substantial space to increase your salary and equipment value, and maybe in a couple of years you will need an experienced assistant, offering old school experience and academic knowledge to your team!

That was took out of the context of my post. First I said that the 22mm pancake and the 11-22mm are the 2 most interesting EF-M lenses, and that he could use a cheap EF lens with the adapter, and having covered anything from 18mm to 35, then one of the cheapest/smallest/lightest/fastest EF lenses that come to mind, that give him something different (a short portrait, general purpose, or very small groups portrait photography), is the 50mm. A cheap 50 is always welcomed in any set, and it could potentially be his fastest lens on his system (and the cheapest!). I doubt he will be able to do any Vloging with the Sigma (but it could be nice to scratch his nose simultaneously!) and the 11-22 can help with the crop in 4K (which the Sigma can't), and he already has the 22mm pancake (so another length covered by his native lenses). I am not sure how helpful a 18-35 can be in his case. Story begins. You can stop reading: Before buying into NX, I was between Eos M, m43 and NX. I was interested on a small pancake, cheap ultra wide zoom, and preferably APS-C to mount my legacy lenses too, and for my photographic hobby and family photos. The M (22, 11-22) and the NX (30mm and a plethora of other great pancakes, 12-24) were the closest at the time, but the NX300 (which was the first mirrorless I ever bought) was multiple times better than anything Canon had for less than 1500euros(!), and 5(!) years later, I am happy I went NX, but if I was starting now, April 2018, for the reasons I mentioned, I would probably started with Eos M. But after 5 years, the lack of a pro mirrorless body is a great emission of course.

Yes, native EF-M, no point in having the best AF system in the universe, and buying lenses not optimized to offer the best focus capabilities. The lens is small, light, cheap, and ultra sharp from wide open (so, no really need to step down). I would never buy into a system without first look at my native options. The only 2 lenses that interest me in Eos M are these 2, the 11-22 and the 22mm pancake, this is a good start for a mirrorless system, unfortunately it lacks everything else (a workhorse 16-50 or similar, a few other primes, maybe a pro ultra wide zoom, good longer lenses - that many people want, not me, e.t.c). As a second camera to a Canon dSLR, would be alright to use the EF adapter too I guess (maybe with the cheap 50mm 1.8f?), but that wouldn't be my first option.

Obviously the 11-22!

@Brian Williams relax man, I thought you were doing real estate videos, and I tried to be helpful. Good luck with your home videos.

That's bad (certainly un-deliverable). You should try to improve your technique as well. Irrelevant to cameras, I found standalone gimbals much preferable than IBIS and these days you can buy good ones for cheap (especially for a mirrorless camera and a prime lens). Long gone the days that the absolute minimum was the big Ronin! Also, you can cut! 3 tripod shots of the kitchen and 3 detail shots should be enough to describe the whole place, and it looks more professional than walking around (even with gimbal/ibis/dis/ois all together).

My impression is that NR, aggressively, kicks in above 1600ISO. To be honest, that is the most I go, but 3200 should be possible for such a modern and capable camera. It seems here that this work-around increances light intensity(?) somehow (something to do with the very unique and capable BSI sensor I guess), so you can gain some light through this. I am not sure about the codec, and how it can handle the settings, it may increase color noise and push the codec to its limits, but it can help with the silly processing above 1600ISO. I am 100% positive that 2 Samsung engineers (1 hardware/1 software) could gain easily a stop or two from this sensor!
