Tried using my phone as a remote shutter, but it kept dropping the connection. Thanks for the kind words, and all the best to your daughter. Couldn’t imagine the feeling of walking into a hospital right now. Thankfully she’ll also be bringing people out of the hospital.

Let's get this thing started then. Here's my entry. All hand held and in natural light (except for one shot, no points for guessing which one) Filmed in less than an hour, paid for by a beaming little face when the finished project was ready to watch.

I’m for sure bag, water, milk, sometimes biscuit. But the experts say that’s wrong. But those experts are actually wrong according to the folks at Yorkshire Tea

The real question is - milk before or after the water?

How does this LUT compare to the @Juan Melara 's LUT? And then how do they compare to the powergrade?

I know the XT4 has a hardware switch for video photo, but so does the XT3, it's just in a different place. I'm hoping that add this over to the XT3, surely it's only software. Silent control is all well and good, but I still want my aperture ring to work in movie mode. (or the scroll wheel to change aperture on lenses without a ring). In fact, the only thing I want to change when I switch from still to video is the shutter speed to default to 1/50. Ideally all other dials, switches and wheels should stay operable. Touch controls suck.

Many V-Mounts have USB out, so that solves the power problem... Hopefully there's some kind of auto turn vibration off feature when you plug in the HDMI. Getting a text midway through a shot could ruin the take.

It does, but only at 400Mbps and up to 29.97p (DCI and UHD) - I say only because you can't select a lower Mbps and a higher frame-rate like you can with Long GOP. DCI24p 400Mbps All-I is nothing to sniff at.

Nice thanks, The 85mm is anything but compact, I understand why, but though maybe they'd keep a similar size for the other lenses. I feel like Sigma tend to do that.

Does anyone know the expected size of the Viltrox lenses?

@kye does that one interact with the camera though. Imagine if you’re projecting a room, when you love the camera, things in the room will move in the frame at different rates depending on how near or far they are from the lens. The Mandalorian one is linked so there’s almost like a parallax effect within the projection that moves with the camera. As far as I can tell, your video only really works of the camera is fixed or the screen is very out of focus.

Awesome, looks like a cool update. Looks like there could be more in the update that's been blacked out.

From the sounds of it, it also means you're shooting for everything in camera. I wonder if it also impacts the grade. @IronFilm It won't be long until you can link the car to this screen and accelerate, handbrake turn etc and you'll get the screen responding to how you're driving. It's like a shared virtual reality.

The Mandalorian has reinvented how we can make films. No need to build physical sets or travel to remote locations. This is like green screen 2.0. Filming in a controlled studio, but the cameras and actors can all interact with the digital environment. Realtime keying without having to use tracking markers or anything. I'd be surprised if every studio in the world isn't already building this. We'll be seeing it in every movie and TV show within the next few years, for sure.

Car chases are always exciting, but this scene just looks rediculous. Huge props to the camera team, but have been a highly stressful situation for the guy in the passenger seat.

To be fair, that is a studio camera. It doesn't have a battery. As such, it's designed to always be on sticks, so form factor is less important.

Does anyone know if there's a way to check which profile (Film Sim) a shot was using? With BMD cameras, my metadata reading app thing tells me whether I was shooting in FILM or VIDEO or EXTENDED VIDEO - but it doesn't seem to get that kind of info from the Fuji...

Zcam also have ProRes. EDIT: Zcam will also have ProRes - Once they get the license from Apple.

Mine just arrived! Paired it up super easy and adjusted the button settings to my requirements, but not had a chance to use it properly yet. Looking forward to it though.

I hear this a lot, but I have no problems with it at all - what's the beef? Granted, I only do minor adjustments, but I'm not running into anything that's all that challenging.

Yeah, if you take my comment out of context you can say whatever you want about it. I said taking photos through someone's windows isn't illegal but is morally disgusting.

I can see both sides of this argument, but personally I'd feel very uncomfortable doing this, and when I see anyone taking a photo in my general direction, I always turn my back to them. In public spaces, you don't 'own' your face in this regard, there's no legal reason for someone to ask your permission for a photo, and they don't owe you anything from the profits they may make from it. That doesn't mean it isn't rude. I straight up disagree with your privacy statement Andrew, these days privacy is rare and if we don't hang onto every last shred of it, there won't be any left at all. Paparazi sitting in a bush taking photos through someones windows could be their art, but I whole heartedly think that is very wrong. In the UK, that's legally fine, so long as the photographer is standing on public property. Morally it's disgusting.

But you can’t record 4k60p in all-intra on the XT3... Right?

3.6GHz i9

I have a 27-inch 2019 iMac and it's no problem cutting 4k50p 10bit footage. I think it's mostly 200mbps Long GOP. In Premiere, it can run very smooth on 'Full' quality even with a light grade in Film Convert, so I guess 60p would also be no problem, especially if you knock it to 1/2 while editing.
