so...should we ditch our other cameras and buy Sonys and Fujis??? or Z-Cams?

Having reviewed some of his work over the last few days it's clear we miss his kind of intelligence and wit in these trying times.

I enjoyed Unreliable Memoirs. I wrote a critisism of it for my Highers back in the day.

Yeah but the Sony A7S3 man. Everything else is just for losers. Face it you LOST with your wimpy self awarness, SMALL SENSOR and shitty low light. I have a BIG sensor, so I WIN wimpy hummus GIRL

I have recently bought an Hdmi monitor for my GH5. I can't get it to pick up an hdmi signal. any tips? Duh! connect it to hdmi in!

Eh?

Well you say they license them to Nikon, Fuji and Olympus. I would have thought Nikon and Fuji would be direct competitors to Sony as well. Anyway what I'm really interested in is what time frame we are talking about for the next generation m43 sensors.

Sorry, I meant the PDAF

Sorry for my ignorance but why is that?

When are they expected? I thought there was talk of a new sensor being produced a couple of months ago.

For me it comes down to GH5s lowlight but with IBIS, both key for a lot of my work. 4k 50p 10 bit would be a bonus as I film a lot like that as do many others I know. And NDs. I'd buy 2

What do we want? A GH6! When do we want it? Now!

Internal NDs would put a GH6 on another level

If the GH6 comes out soon and is as good we all hope it to be (and as the GH5 has been) then I'm all in with Panasonic the next few years. The GH5 is great but it's showing it's age when it comes to lowlight. Anyone think the GH6 might do 6k 25p?

I would say that was my experience too. It became worse as the day went on. Is that the same with CFast and SSD?

I didn't realise the playback was like that. It sure gave me a fright!!!

I had my first experience with the Bmpcc4k. Rented one and took it to a friend's wedding to see how it stood up. I had barely anytime to get to know the camera so there will be user errors. I've yet to see the images as what I really wanted to check was reliability and handling. Good things first: actually feels very nice in the hand, menus nice, recording individual sound on each channel, once I'd pumped up the brightness on the screen it was nice to use. Bad things: wtf, so unreliable. Shut off 4 times although connected to external battery and internal. At one moment it would only record clips of one second then stop. Then it started recording normally again. It took an age to start up and even longer to read the SD to be ready to record (nearly 2 mins!). I tried 4k 50p and 2.6k 50p to see if that helped but no. Another weird thing is when watch the clips in playback it would only show the clips recorded in the same settings as the came was at at that moment (4k, could only review 4k. 2.6k could only review 2.6k). The rental place is reliable and always want feedback from their clients. I was the first to use the camera after the new firmware was installed. It could be that. The SD card (v90) had never had problems before with the camera according to them. So was that just a freak shitty experience or does that kind of stuff happen a lot?

I had been thinking about a GH5S to accompany my GH5 and help with low light situacions but now I'm wondering whether it'd be better getting a GH5S and a S1H. I shoot a range of things, events, interviews, promo videos, conferences, weddings. I really like the ability to record for hours with the GH5 but recently I've been finding more and more dark venues and it isn't cutting it. I have also bought the 10-25 1.7 but after using it for a few weeks I'm thinking about selling it as the Sigma 18-35 with the speedbooster looks better in my eyes and is easier to manual focus. I shoot a lot of 4k 50p which I believe is Apsc on the S1H. I have a few Apsc lenses which should be fine for that (sigmas 18-35 1.8, 50-150 2.8, Canon 18-135 and Tokina 11-16 2.8). I guess if i accept that I will use an adaptor on both cameras then they should pair well. I'm selling my C100 and some lenses I don't use so If i were to sell my mft lensrs as well I could probably afford to do it (only forking out 1000-1500). Does that sound a logical choice? Anyone using those 2 cameras together? How does the S1H fair as a apsc 4k 50p camera? How does the Sigma adaptor handle efs lenses? Is it any good for photo autofocus (I principally shoot video but once in a while I have to shoot some photos as well.

Is anyone using this in FCPX? If i want to turn Cine D to Vlog and then apply GHa lut is the GHa lut above the Vlog lut in the inspector?

I have the 10-25. I've only had it a week now and i haven't had the chance to look at the results on 2 jobs I used it on but I really liked the feel of it. I got it to replace the Sigma 18-35 as it's native and lighter. I have kept my Voigtlanders as I feel they are complementary lenses, great for real low light, bokeh and a different look.

Take care to consider the labels you give to any clips or files. It's amazingly easy to make life more difficult by labelling in a rush.

When I was using the canon C100 I mainly used the Canon 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 and the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8. If I needed wider my business partner (photographer) would lend me his Tokina 11-16mm. I also have a Sigma 50-150mm 2.8 which covers everything! Since getting the GH5 a couple of years ago I've mainly being using the Sigma 18-35 and 50-150 with a Speedbooster. But sometimes I use the Voigtlanders 17.5 and 25 and an Slr Magic 12mm 1.6. But since hiring an Olympus 12-40 2.8 I've decided that I really prefer native and going lightweight. So today I'll pick up the 10-25mm 1.7 and I'm considering the Olympus 12-100mm f4, 12-40 2.8. I'd love a longer lens like the 10-25. Maybe 35-90mm f1.7 or 2 (but constant).

This is important. It's not so much dof (the Voigtlanders offer that anyway) but general low light performance that I think many people are after. If the camera has good lowlight you can then use the lens of your choice rather than being forced to use the Voigtlanders or Speedboosted lenses.

Exactly my thoughts. The 10-25 1.7 has really opened up the possibilities for m43. But I think Panasonic needs to apply the same logic (manual focus clutch, aperture ring, etc) to it's flagship zoom lenses. This lens shows there is an appetite for larger faster zooms for m43. A 50-100 (or 35-100) f2 with a manual clutch and we are all smiling. The problem with the GH5S is that there are no fast wider zooms with IS and a manual clutch (fly by wire is useless for run n gun video). Although the Olympus 12-100 f4 IS could be interesting. I wish their 12-40 had IS. It's a very nice lens.

How you finding the 10-25 1.7? Does it focus as well manually as the Sigma 18-35?
