Rob6

What lenses do you guys recommend for the gh6? What are your favorites for the micro 4/3 system. Looking at getting one for a b or c camera for video at events. Thanks! Also why can't they have it record in prores on the cfexpress and then some other format on the sd card like h.265. The R5 does something like there were it can write raw to the cfexpress and lower quality h.265 to the sd card...

I agree this is a big deal for shooters that constantly switch between both stills and video while working. I almost wish they could add the video modes on the photo side and just allow a button to go into video mode instantly while inside the photo operating system... basically how it works in the R5. I would even be willing to take less video recording options if it was too hard to code just so that I can switch instantly back and forth when needed. AND you would get the same kind of autofocus in video that you get with the R5. If you want the more "cinematic" autofocus then switch to the other video operating system.

Merry Christmas! And seriously you are the only reviewer I trust! And the only truly independent reviewer I know!! The articles you write are so fun to read! I look forward to reading them whenever you write a new one. Thanks again for all you bring to this community you built!!!

Thanks for the info, jpfilmz! Yeah, I would love to see how you power this. It says in the documentation that someone posted on social media that you need an 8v power pack to run at full speed. Not even sure which power banks can provide that. Thanks!

Great shots, Andrew!

Thanks all for your feedback. You all give some really great info!

Thanks. What cards or media do your friends record to. What brand and size of Cfast? Thanks for the comment!

I know this is not a Black Magic Forum. I’m thinking of getting a black magic 6K or 6k pro as C and D camera for my shoots. I’ve read a couple of places people having their footage corrupted and not recoverable. Is that a common occurrence? I have 2 5D Mark iii and I’ve recorded raw video in 1920 and 3.k crop for many years and never had a bad frame. My FS700 recording to Odyssey 7Q for the past seven years and never had a bad frame. For the Canon C100 I have the same experience - perfect and reliable 100%. Have I just been lucky with my use case or are black magic cameras not very reliable? I really want 6k, but I need reliable. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the info! Interesting what you say about the Komodo sensor. It does use the rf mount after all.

Awesome! So happy to see this. Especially comparing with the different r5 modes of 4K with and without 4K fine. Thanks Andrew!!!!

Are there any examples of Raw video out of the a7s3 yet? Is the quality in raw any more detailed compared to internal? Thanks!

Has anyone done or seen a test that compares the 4k of the Canon 1DC vs the 4k of the R5 in standard/4k Fine/8k modes? I would love to see how they compares in color as well. Thinking of getting a 1DC as a third camera because I have a bunch of huge Compact Flash cards. Thanks!

I should think negatively more in the future so cool things like this happen in the future! So happy! I only wish I would have said it wouldn't have raw and no evf and no ibis at the same time so all those things would be included too!

Whi In this environment with a fan on it recording internally to a CFexpress card did it overheat and stop recording? Thanks for sharing info about this! Also, can you record to this external drive and have the backup 4k HQ record to the internal sd card without overheating with this fan?

I don't think there is any chance they will release a speed booster because they want to sell RF Lenses. I hope I am wrong! Speedbooster would be sweet on this camera... if its made by Canon. The canon adapter on the r5 is perfect and I don't have any issues with it ever on the R5.
