Awesome, nice to hear! Send us all a GH5 please:) Very nice looking rigs there for sure, and brave to commit to a Panasonic over Canon or Cine cams.. and great to hear Panasonic are getting on board with you, and showing they might be serious about conquering the lower price end video market - maybe then more people will buy the wonderful looking Varicams:)

yeah, since it seems Panny may have fixed the colours a bit (gx85), have the ibis now, if they improved the autofocus, codec and rolling shutter the GH5 would be the best hybrid for video yet for sure!

c100.. great low light, rock solid - mark 2 has the incredible dual pixel autofocus.. better video than 5d's, so can be very filmic.. great detail and colour.. low rolling shutter - better all around camera.. that said I would love an a7s to film at night with!

I just worked it out - for some reason I-dynamic was on.. messed around with it the other day. phew. It can kill skintones BTW

Nice. Beautiful shadows on her face. Better than some of the "references" I've seen - modern art deco. Would love to see some motion footage.. which always looked good to me from ML raw!

Iphone camera.

Heya everybody - I am having an issue that when pressing record, the image looks more saturated - and less noisy. This is looking through the evf or the on the screen - I had a quick google and didn't find anything. Does anyone know what this could be?

According to this site, with subject at 180cm - a 25mm f1.4 on MFT will give you about a 20 cm plane of focus, while a 50mm 2.8 on full frame with give you about 21.5 cm... so the MFT is only a little better than half, but not much. Real world shooting seems to bear these numbers out too.. http://dofsimulator.net/en/

I really like the look of this - exposure and all! Is it an Olympus cam? No one seems to want to guess - put us out of our misery please.. what is it!?

Yeah, the audio out of the zoom goes into the external recorder.. I'm saying to go from a zoom/preamps to the camera rather than sync later, for camera's with an input that is. It's not so quick if you're dealing with 100 clips or so:) Yeah, this is what I meant - perhaps I wasn't clear enough

Ugh.. syncing is a pain. I suggest using something like a zoom, and then line out to the camera.. my next setup will be a gx85 and a zoom both going into an external recorder - better codec for the panny and synced audio.. what a dream! Almost the perfect setup, apart from global shutter, higher DR and a7s lowlight:) (and better autofocus).. saving my pennies right now:)

I've got an RJ - happy with it but will definitely go the lens turbo ii for my next one - seems 95% as good as metabones, and less than half the price..

Sony?

Review with test shots - looks nice, would like to see more... be aware the presenter is being filmed on a FS5 with Sigma lenses (and a speedbooster)

I'm sure you won't regret it... you could probably bang nails into a wall with that thing and it would keep working.. sounds like you got a great deal too! Well done:)

And the dual pixel AF looks amazing

I love BM, but... this:)

Hey, the Kinifinity looks amazing - but we are talking about a camera that get's picked by DP's over Alexa's and Red's - that you could take out of a bag and start shooting with. If this had global shutter it could be the best camera in history, ha - but at about 16ms rolling shutter it's about as good as the RED's, F65's etc - I'm certain the Alexa's great rolling shutter, and global shutter is the last piece of the puzzle in having amazing, filmic cameras..

Afaik no such lens exists.. this might be the closest you can get - Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM - and you would need a smart adapter or smart speedbooster to get a nice focal length

Yeah, I kinda agree here, but the Canon's need work to not look soft - such great colours out of the box though! And less motion problems too.. It's like the difference between detail and sharpness.. something like the Alexa has tons of detail but never seems too sharp.. you can bring up the Canon detail a bit - haven't really tried blurring the panny footage yet as such.. : ) the search for the 1 grand Alexa in the pocket continues, ha

Well I know, but to have a focus puller in your pocket is an amazing idea! We could even program a little character in - like in music programming! I do make tracks on the computer - do you compose as well? I'm techno focused.. I wouldn't use it for every shot, but what an amazing thing to have - you could do stuff that would be almost, if not impossible with a traditional manual pull.. Yeah, I have always hated this on Panasonics - movement shudder, frame tearing, whatever you'd call it. 1/40 shutter seems to help out sometimes.. I might try 30p to 24p in Twixtor next.. Wow, it looks like they have really fixed the funny orange/red thing that was going on with Panasonics.. where reds and oranges would go a bit mental sometimes..

Thread resurrection.. have just googled this and very impressed by the footage at 1/40.. flicker is an issue of course. There was always something that bugged me about the panasonic motion cadence - Canon's seemed better at this along with colour.. this is seeming to help my gx7 footage already though. The movement seems to flow a bit better..

Re mixing audio on 'phones, I have been getting very good results using the plug ins from http://sonarworks.com/ - and also TB Isone http://www.toneboosters.com/tb-isone/ - I like using monitors too, have been looking at a cheap small 3" set - these seem to get good feedback and are definitely cheap - the little Alesis 320's http://www.amazon.com/Alesis-M1-Active-Monitor-Speakers/dp/B0011Z87I0

This just isn't true - why would you if a reliable, predictable autofocus exists? If it is good enough for this guy.. !

He's talking about the 180 degree shutter speed setting - not the crossing the line blocking rule...
