Or RAW to CFast card and ProRes to SD card both internally. I'd like that.

Why not.

They've already gone "yeah, fuck it" and thrown the kitchen sink at it for that price !

You can if you record to an Atomos recorder :P 

I was thinking along the lines of something similar but much cheaper but it would require it being on the output.

We'll see I suppose.

I'm wondering if you can have a baked in LUT on the HDMI output whilst simultaneously recording RAW without one?

It offers some interesting possibilities if you can....

If you can't charge from an external source while simultaneously recording to an external drive then it kind of defeats the purpose of having the feature to be able to long-record via usb-c. 

It still has an external power input though?

I presume you could use a usb-c hub as well?

I do hope Blackmagic have already bought up a boatload of the sensors.

I can just see Panasonic getting on the phone to Sony this morning and saying "You know that IMX294CJK sensor that we buy off you for our GH5 cameras? How many have you got?....Right, we're on our way there now....We'll take the lot"

Nice walkthrough here

Internal F-LOG is a big winner for me personally.

Would've been nice to have Eterna internal as well but as Fuji have released the F-LOG > Eterna LUT for it in their last update its not a major issue.

So if we couldn't have both, I'm glad they chose the internal F-LOG !

Just for the record, the GH5 does not shoot garbage plastic looking footage. And while the Pocket 4K is probably awesome, it does not suddenly make shooting Panasonic Log obsolete. 

 

I don't think they are mutually exclusive either.

Its more the GH5s that has the problem as far as I can see.

Prices of a used GH5 are currently dipping below £1.2k and will be further deflated by the time the Pocket 4K  actually arrives to be more or less a flat £1k.

If you add in the value of the full version of Resolve then that means you could have a GH5 AND the Pocket 4K with Resolve for pretty much the same price as the GH5s and Resolve.

In that scenario, where I could have the best of both worlds in terms of a highly featured and capable all rounder AND a cinema oriented one for the same total price (especially as they share a common lens system) then I'd really struggle to choose the GH5s over that.

Even OEM good panels (ask @BTM_Pix for that!) cost a lot more than 100$ from China factories, so they can't be very cheap.

Thursday is D-Day for Operation Cheap Screen so I'll let you know.

If it doesn't explode as soon as I plug it in.

Yeah but with 20% tax - in NL we're at 21% so it messes with my reports and could open up some holes which I simply can't be bothered to deal with. I'd rather just wait a day or two for a store here to open preorders if need be.

They do tax free with an EU VAT number but, yeah, for the sake of a couple of days when we are all in all likelihood looking at a six month wait (at least  ) does seem daft

Someone should do a 5 inch loupe like DSLR days, with a 5 inch 1080p screen it would be better than a lot of evf and give another contact point.

Yeah, I mean declaring my tax at te end of the year. It's easier to just pay in euros to start with and not worry about conversions and different tax rates.

You can pay in Euros at CVP by the way

If you are dead set on ditching the GH5, I'd cash it out as soon as you can and get a cheap 2nd hand G7 and review again when the Pocket comes out.

The G7 will tide you over nicely and keep you in MFT so you can keep your glass as a hedge for if you go for the Pocket.

If you decide against the pocket you won't have lost hardly anything re-selling the G7.

Especially if you buy it in the UK and sell it in Alicante !

@zerocool22 I think Charlie said he wants good AF... ?

Spoilsport  

I'm not one for hyperbole as a rule but this camera has just completely and utterly re-defined the market.

The value of my camera collection has just sprung a major leak !

Mmmm.....

I've just tested it on 2 different phones and a tablet with GX80, LX15, G7 and FZ2000 all without any issues.

Its really odd that its not setting the shutter for you.

Basically, if that part of it has an issue then the brackets won't work as it hasn't got a starting point.

OK, try it with your other phone tomorrow and let me know.

When you are selecting it in there, does it highlight in orange before it comes back to the main screen?

Don't use the Bracket function of the Stepper app as there is a bug with it, hence why I made the dedicated one.

So only use the dedicated one.

When you are using the dedicated one, make sure you select a shutter speed first by pressing the Shutter button

This will open a list and you select your base shutter speed from there.

It will then return you to the main screen and you should see the selected shutter speed.

From that photo, I think the Pocketii looks pretty small.

They should definitely have called it The Pocketti !

It sounds like some sort masterpiece of industrial design sculpted by Pininfarina for the gentleman filmmaker of the late 60s.

It looks like Tech from the Future Wars In Terminator Movies.... 

 

Yeah, looks like Tech.

V-Tech to be precise

I can't find an image of a BMCC teardown, but the sensor heatsink/cooler is quite massive. Even in the big BMCC housing, it needs active cooling through a fan. I don't think that you can put this sensor into a small camera, or only with a fan from hell. 

 

Here you go

@BTM_Pix You're killing it today.

Would you be interested in a interface for the GH5 that gave you XLR inputs, SDI outputs and a DC input with D-Tap output?

Hypothetically speaking of course ....

24 minutes ago, Cinegain said:

One of the reasons as well was an audio interface. Which is why they put out an XLR hotshoe unit along the GH5.

Yeah, would've thought the DC in and the TC input would make a new one very relevant for where they want to pitch the GH5s.

Maybe Top Gear didn't ask for it

Just thinking out loud, right? hehe

I might do a teaser pic of half of it peeping out of the darkness at an obscure angle.

Seems all the rage.

The YAGH Interface box gave SDI output, amongst other things, to the GH4.

Quite surprised they haven't produced an updated one for the GH5s at least (to further differentiate from the GH5).

Or maybe thats something they have up their sleeve.

Hypothetically speaking, would something that did the following be of any interest to Panasonic (both GH5 and non-GH5) owners ?

• 8 focus points (pulled from current lens position so can be either using touch AF or manual etc)
• 4 auto transition speeds between points
• Manual transition between points
• Manual focus adjustment

All driven from dedicated hardware switches.

And wirelessly.

From a handheld device.

Hypothetically speaking obviously......
