I really need to start downloading videos I don’t have backed up off of Vimeo and just get off the platform. It’s really sad to see because Vimeo in 2008-2012 was really a place that I loved for the filmmaking community. The staff pick I received really helped me in my career and i really attribute it to being one of the biggest shifts for me

Thanks again Andrew. Was a blast! Next time we will both have proper microphones!

We are getting one in for review this week. After seeing Andrew at Photokina with his....we really wanted one! Such a special little camera

Thanks man! I will be posting a video version later this week from another different conversation

Thank you so much Andrew for having me on the show! It was such a blast hanging out and chatting about gear. The four hour beer and dinner bickering between you and Dan Chung was the highlight of my week!

I heard after we filmed this video a rumor from a rep that the Panasonic S1/R may do raw internal. Anyways, here is a top ten video going over some things I haven’t heard a lot of people talk about

They literally were! Rubber lenses. Not even real glass. Just a mock up

Our first look video is live... new info to me... bigger battery than GH5

After I figured out color on a7iii, I haven’t missed my 1DC at all. Also, using the X1D for photos recently has helped ?

I second that. Still a lot of IR pollution in the BMPCC 4K footage I’m seeing. The GH5S handles the colors better than the Blackmagic.....but that Blackmagic raw tho... that’s nice. All you need is a Hoya IR cut filter to fix the Blackmagic issue

ya. honestly, I would be interested in this also. a true "1DC replacement" type camera haha

What if they merge it into their cine series. Charge $5499 for it and put that Cine Alta badge on it.

Ooo what shop is it? I wanna check it out. Was thinking of taking a train down to the Leica factory too. This will be my first time to Germany. Super stoked to have some beer and pretzels

Me!!! Let’s meet up. There the 23-30

Sure is!!

Noooooooo! Don't say that haha. I need it and wish my a7iii had it every single day.

I really hope this is true: "One anonymous source told me the Sept 18 event will indeed give us the A7sIII with fully articulated screen and 4k60p." -https://www.sonyalpharumors.com/sr5-sony-will-have-a-big-e-mount-announcement-on-september-18-1-day-and-a-press-conference-on-september-25-too/ If the Sony a7SIII truly had a flip out screen with 4k 60fps in 10bit....there would be a huge stir in the market and seems like a Sony thing to do. They have a history of crapping on their competition when things get competitive, and specs like this would crush Canon and Nikon. Sony really has such a lead in the marked of FF Mirrorless and it seems as though the beast has been awakened. Not even a week ago Sony didn't plan on announcing anything at Photokina, and based on the excitement for Nikon and mostly Canon EOS R, it seems Sony has decided to pull the ultimate mic drop. If there really is a fully articulating screen on the a7siii what does that mean about the body? Is it totally redesigned? Is it just an a9 frame with a flip out screen stapled onto it? Did they finally bite the bullet and pay a licensing fee to Canon for the flip out technology? Sony seems to listen to their customers and 4k 60, 10bit, and flip out screen are literally the three most requested features they have had for their a7 lineup I'm sure. I know as a pro youtuber, if sony gave a fully articulating screen to the a7siii, they would dominate the market. I sure hope these rumors are true.

I know for me right now, Im having a hard time trying to figure out the balance of being true and honest, with also receiving demo units. Getting the demo units means I get early access to stuff to help me grow my audience more on YouTube. But when I receive early access products, they expect a good review. If I make a review that maybe would hurt the company, then they don't want to work with me anymore, therefore I don't get early access meaning I don't get to build the largest audience. It's a Catch-22 I am finding. With that being said, you guys are going to love my Rudy Winston EOS R Spoof video.

Some frames from a shoot I did this week. All shot on various Pro Color profiles (with some of my own tweaks here and there) below are frames from two a7iii’s using a customized version of EOSHD ProColor V4 PP1. And below is a6300 on the tight shot and a7sii on the wide. Both using EOSHD ProColor 3.0 All of these frames were color corrected to match, and I was extremely pleased with how easy they were to match one another. The client was very happy with the results.

Yup. YouTube is a game. Gotta play it right to win

Lol! Me too actually. Idk why I did it. I’m sorry haha

Had to make a video about it. Im excited about this one...

Correct. It is The thing that excites me about this rumor is the fact that Panasonic UNDERSTANDS the video game really really well. I think they were caught off guard with the Phase Detect AF for video thing. When they started designing the GH5 I don't think it was that much of a need or concern. Now, in 2018...its become quite a requirement and I know Panasonic knows that. The other thing that excites me is the fact that it will most definitely have all the video features thrown in it that we expect it to have coming from a GH5. Waveforms, high bit rates, max frame rates...(however it may be less powerful than a GH5 cause the sensor is so much larger and requires some serious processing and cooling) BUT MOST OF ALL....it WILL have a flip out screen and we all know it will. Hahahaha. This is great news. And I am glad its later in the year....that gives me time to make a bunch of videos about the sony a7siii, canon mirrorless, and Nikon before it comes out. Its spaced out nicely for my channel

I formed my own opinion before reading the recent posts in this thread and my opinion based on the three videos Blackmagic has posted initially is that this thing does not deliver in the ways we all expect a Blackmagic camera to deliver. Its not bad at all and if Sony put out a camera that looked this good we would all be over the moon. But as a former BMCC 2.5k owner and BMPCC owner/ operator I can tell you flat out that this BMPCC 4K sensor is not looking as “Alexa like” as literally ALL of Blackmagics other cameras. It has seemed since day one that the goal of Blackmagic cameras was to emulate Alexa as much as possible. I’m not seeing that with the bmpcc4k and I think that’s why everyone is so confused. It’s not what we expect. It’s not bad, but it’s not what we expected. I can’t wait to get my hands on one and do some of my own proper tests.

I need to do more extensive testing, but I feel like my old Phantom 4 Pro had a better image than the M2 Pro. BUT the M2 Pro is good enough to justify making it your primary drone. There was noise in the image for sure from the compression. But when you aren't pixel peeping and look at it from a distance it looks really rich and sharp.
