oh I agree, headphone jack & larger battery would have been great. fortunately there does exist a workaround. not the case with the issues i've listed (rolling shutter, crop factor, AF, jerky IBIS) which is why i've listed them higher in my issue list. thats pretty factual not "made up stuff". moire is indeed a nasty thing. my "workaround" is avoiding objects/fabrics which showcase it. not ideal but not impossible either.

Easy Jon. May i remind you i have a Sony A73 with the new batteries. My C100 can do 4 to 5 hours on a single charge. So what? I wasn't comparing cameras. My point was simply that the grip on the H1 is mandatory (like it or not) and takes care of issue 1 & 2. As for the moire & aliasing, yes I'm fully aware of it. I've shot super slow-mo with the H1. again if you actually read my post I make it clear the issue is overblown by Max by only contextualising it with the worst case scenario. Not saying the issue doesn't exist or isn't important.

The grip is just mandatory for video and takes care of issues 1 & 2. Fat32 i've run into that issue once or twice but usually the recording time limit stops before you hit the 4 gig limit (although with 200mbs this could now be real issue). the 120fps IQ issues is overblown in his video.. i mean who shoots brick walls and cranes in super slow-mo?! I'd say currently the biggest beef with this camera is rolling shutter, crop factor, AF & the jerky IBIS. i'm still tempted to buy one though, Eterna is sublime and it rocks for stills.

BMD color science has evolved as i believe they were advertising "Color Science 4.0" or something during their launch event. It's worthy to note they use differently sourced sensors on just about every cam & have had color cast issues with certain sensor batches. In the end color science isn't really an issue since BMD users mostly shoot Film/Log or Raw and go nuts in DaVinci which is highly optimized for their cams.

..and it's funny you mention that because that's basically what made me re-purchase mine! stumbled on some old C100 footage and was taken back at how cinematic it looked. i'd sold it shortly after jumping into 4K, thinking i'm done with 1080p. and planning on moving to C200 (before EU prices crushed that dream). in the end though i still deliver most projects in FHD, and of course the great thing about the C100 is it's a 4K sensor downscaling to 1080p. other cameras do that as well but with varying degrees of success. anyways there is just some mojo about the OG C100/C300 sensor imo. what really put it back on my radar was when comparing that old C100 footage with recent footage with the same actors but shot on a Ursa Mini 4.6K (in DCI 2K). couldn't believe it but to my eyes the SOOC C100 footage looked more pleasing than the graded UM4.6K! not trying to say C100 > UM4.6K but those canon skintones never cease to please.. speaking of BMD another old cam that shines was their BMCC 2.5K. 13-stops, superb fine detail, motion etc.. Digital Bolex IQ obviously and such beautiful hardware to go with it (already getting scarce, people are holding on to them!) And of course how could we not mention 1DC & 5D3 Raw! Any others giving filmic mojo on the lowlow?

meanwhile Sony adds a picture profile to the FS5 and has the nerve to call it a MK2.. the hype train is real these days.. getting back to BMD, this is how you do a real camera follow up!

tell me about it.. i just bought a 2012 C100 last month! LOL

Rather not get into the "shooter skills" argument. The way i see it, if you need IBIS, EVF, AF for stills, Anamorphic etc.. you got GH5/GH5S. If you need Pro Res / Raw with a 5" display, pro I/Os & no in-cam NR/Sharp etc.. go with BMPCC4K. me? could care less about m43. waiting for canon or getting another fuji.

I'm getting déja vu from the XH1 thread.. where every page was getting polluted by GH5 defense talk. i kindly suggest to jonpais not to get so personally affected by GH5 criticism.. let's face it the camera jus isn't as unanimous as it was a year half ago. times gonna change. that being said no need to feel threatened if you're still enjoying its output..

@Luke Mason do you remember what lens was on camera by any chance?

true.. but you do need a shogun inferno for that bringing the price closer to +$6K

@Luke Mason ok now where talking! kudos for sharing

@anonim my guess is the prototype was barely made ready in time for NAB (may i remind the rubber port cover that broke off during grant's presentation lol). pretty sure they aren't saying much because they themselves probably haven't had a chance to see/do much with it. it's pretty much specs & a prototype at this point i think.

by all means speculate away! just trying to put a little perspective around this announcement.. btw i'm excited as well!!

nobody has even shot with this camera or seen actual footage yet you guys sure seem sure about it's IQ.. impressive! not to be a party pooper but BMD don't exactly hold a perfect track record. remember the FPN issues with BMPC/UM 4K.. or the magenta cast issue on the UM4.6K sensor that had people sending them back? i mean i sure hope BMD have learned from their mistakes but at this point all we got is a shown prototype not even in the final material!

Yeah this is huge update for XT2.. might just pick up a 2nd hand one now again.

BMD is growing fast and with this announcement they're going to blow up even more. The fact the sensor is MFT (and Dual ISO at that) is definitely stepping on Panny's toes. GH6 better have Pro Res raw internal & rock solid AF. GH5S is DOA imo.

Only 120 fps is windowed HD: Frame Rates Maximum sensor frame rate dependent on resolution and codec selected. Project frame rates of 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94 and 60 fps supported. Off-speed frame rates up to 60 fps in 4K DCI, 120 fps in HD windowed.

@DaveAltizer Exact crop factor would be nice to know as well.

@DaveAltizer could you ask BM what the MP count is for stills?

BM cameras don't have AF. Focus Focus button turns on peaking, auto focus available using compatible lenses.

GH5 RIP

agreed, but it's a real mystery then what they are going to be able to do to justify the expected $3500 price tag. especially with the $2000 A73 being so capable in low-light, stills & AF. maybe they'll just add this new "venice" profile, slap on a BSI sensor with the latest AF enhancements and price it at the current A7S2 cut-down retail which is $2400 (which is basically what they've done with FS5 II). seems like Sony's current strategy is to be agressive on price points to undercut competition rather than really pushing forward innovation...

yes leaker on IG confirms it's a flip screen.

not really.. FS5 mk1 with free raw upgrade is the same exact price: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1185424-REG/sony_pxw_fs5_xdcam_super_35.html further proof mk2 is really just a re-badged FS5.. this has got to be the laziest follow-up move ever! and yes this doesn't bode well at all for A7S3 prospects..
