I found the layout of buttons and controls on the Canon C100 to be very comfortable. You could do most things from the grip and joystick. I'm sure the C100 mk2 was even better.

An interchangeable lens full frame/apsc Canon XC-10 type body, eND, Prores and a quality image...yes please. I would love to see a A7S3, GH6 or whatever camera in the XC10 style body with eND. I really don't understand why that hasn't happened as Canon were for once quite bold with a new idea when they released it.

oh, and all cameras should have eND...(how could I possibly send them out to work without that!)

Can we just have the super GH6 (like your GH7/S) with the DMW-XLR2 in 2021??? I have to say I really like the DMW-XLR with the GH5/S and if they could improve it, well that'd be a huge bonus.

In 2025 my camera will head out to work according to whatever I've programmed it to do with whatever program I use to do that. My camera will the edit the footage perfectly so that my clients (mainly bots) can like me to fuck on whatever social network dominates in 2025. I, hopefully, will be somewhere nice and green with my family. My only connection with technology will be a message that says my client has paid me.

hi, I don't yet know Resolve enough to say but it does seem like you can really work on the footage, grades etc (not that you can't with FCPX). With a a quick turn around job the color options etc are more than enough in FCPX I just had a feeling there was a lot to explore in Resolve although that might be due to it's layout. Personally I find FCPX's multicam is very buggy. I'm quicker editing by eye.

If you have a Mac and are going to do quick turn around stuff then FCPX is great. For me that's it's strong point. I used Premiere years ago but I always found it slow compared to FC on my Macs. I'm starting to try a few edits with Resolve and I can see it will be great for more complicated projects (docs etc). But I'm sticking with FCPX for all my quick corporate stuff.

It's a great wee camera. I have a Hong Kong one that records 4K with no limit. I often use it as a 2nd or 3rd camera when filming events. Only real downside is sound.

pretty amazing

1. Currently the GH5 and the 10-25 f1.7 (previously the Sigma 18-35 and SB). GH5S and 12-35 2.8 are gaining ground... 2. Scottish/European - grew up between Greece, Cyprus, London and Scotland. Lived in Spain for over 17 years. Work as freelancer video/photo. 1 wife, 1 daughter, 2 cats and presently dealing with the lockdown shit storm that's already hit businesses hard here. 3. Music: Present favourite group is All Them Witches Also like Jimi Hendrix, The Faces, The Black Crowes, Faith No More, Rage Against The Machine, Van Morrison, Funkadelic, James Brown, Bob Marley, Love, The Stooges, Terry Reid, Naxatras, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Mogwai, Spooky Tooth, Slint, Soundgarden to name a few. Sports: Celtic FC Hobbies: gardening in my terrace, camping, day dreaming... 4. In general the content is interesting (minus the rammies!). I hope it continues as a positive space where professionals and enthusiasts can share experiences, knowledge and opinions. Looking forward to the GH6 as I enjoy the video centric design of the GH series along with the reduced weight and costs (although the 10-25 1.7 was pretty pricey!). A slightly more ergonomic BMPCC 4K/6K would interest me. 5. My home town is now Madrid. I miss the openness when I'm away. 6. No idea

How do you manage hybrid photo/video weddings? Do you do it alone?

Same situation here in Madrid. Both my wife and I are freelancers and everything has just stopped, no work at all for the foreseeable future (I reckon late April/early May at the earliest). Trying to get a few clients who haven't paid recent jobs to cough up what they can. My wife is thinking she my have to lay off her employee. Grim. It's a total lock down, a very weird situation. You get up in the morning, it's a lovely spring day and think, "A walk in the park would be nice"...and then you remember! We are lucky as we live on the top floor of our building with a 15m2 terrace with plants, bbq etc. I'd hate to imagine what it's be like cooped up in a little flat for 15 days. Having a nine month old baby keeps us occupied mind! Other activities we have to keep us occupied are set up the Ikea hydroponics system we have lying around and try to grow some lettuce, learn how to ferment vegetables and make bread on Youtube, a bit more gardening, try to watch a film, repeat...we are already on day 4 here (only went out for some food and medicines)...tick tock

We've already had 2 events cancelled due to the virus here in Madrid, Spain. So it's already affecting our income. Other events looking like they might cancel or postpone. We also have rental apartments and bookings are way down. But I think I have a solution for that. We can hire them to the government as quarantine units!

I usually take a GH5, GH5S, 10-25 1.7, 12-35 2.8, 35-100 2.8, sound gear, monitor, maybe even a LED or 2 in a Lowepro 400 flipside backpack with a tripod strapped on the side. It's be difficult to take a similar 2 camera set up with FF. The more I think about it what I really want from a GH6 would be GH5S performance with IBIS, some kind of ND, punch in to check focus whilst recording (don't think they can do that though), G9 evf, S1H lcd screen and slightly better ergonomics. The GH5 pair are already 2 great cameras. A 35-85mm 1.7 to go with the other 1.7 zoom would be great. And maybe a double battery attachment thingy (instead of 1 extra battery).

Interesting lights but not really small enough to stick a couple in a backpack

What about the best lightweight lights in 2020? I'm think one man band, everything in your backpack, camera (or 2), lenses, sound gear, tripod and lighting. I'm thinking of getting a couple of Manfrotto Nano Plus Stands. At present I'm using Yongnuo 300s (size/power/size) but there must be something smaller and as powerful if not more powerful with beter CRI. Any ideas?

Happy for now with my GH5, GH5S and GX85 as all record 4k non-stop and are small a weigh little (sold my C100 and most lenses). Will keep an eye out for S1/S1H bargains as well as the GH6 but will mostly be buying sound and lighting gear. *And hard disks....😭 (4k pain)

The wookie condom has helped save my mics from a serious shafting by a wookie on heat. You never know when they will strike. There you are interviewing the CEO of some company and suddenly the sound goes all funny, muffled and scratchy at the same time...

I just tried making a new Event and imported the footage without making proxies and it looked fine in the timeline. Very strange that some clips didn't work in the other event/timeline whilst other clips worked fine.

Hi Dimitris, yes, they remain pixelated. It's very weird.

I'm editing a video shot with the GH5 in 4k 10 bit on a 1080p timeline in FCPX (like I have done 100s of times before) but some of the shots appear pixelated in the timeline (but not in the browser). Others are fine. I have the settings for Best Quality and Optimised Media but it's as if some shots are stuck in proxy. Anyone had a similar experience or know how to fix it? High Sierra 10.13.6 FCPX 10.4.6

The Sandisk 170 ones work fine and are cheaper than the 95s. I was told by my supplier that they are basically just the replacement model. I was also told that prices have been changing almost weekly as they are trying to corner the market. No idea if that's true mind! What is true is that the 170 ones are great value. I bought 2 128gb ones for around 42€ each. Been using them for a couple of months.

That's a big discount! All the Panasonics here in Spain have different cash-back offers too. The 10-25mm f1.7 is normally 1750€ but I picked one up for 1500€ with a cash-back offer a couple of months ago. Probably be selling for 1200€ come spring!

The GH5s has a black friday cashback here making it around 1650€. But I just bought one secondhand (with purchase receipt from august this year so still a lot of the guarantee left to run) that had only been used twice (it actually smells new!) for 1250€ with a Small Rig cage, 3 batteries and a double battery speed charger! He also sold me the 12-35 2.8 mk2 for 300€ and the 35-100 2.8 mk2 for 300€ as he was moving to Nikon!!! Maybe he knows something I don't know but I'm one happy camper!

If that were the S1H I'd buy it!
