But how about journalism then? How can you investigate something and see unaltered people reaction? Cos if you tell a person he is being filmed he will behave completely in a different way than when he doesn't know that. Anyway in our country nobody gives two shits about human rights so its not a big deal you should worry about. Considering Youtube policies (and this is going on youtube) - its clear. If someone (if!) will report that he was recorded without his consent Youtube may (!) ask you to blur his head out or remove the video. That's it.

I am sure. What ethical issues? After the recording the ppl are being informed that they've been recorded and asked for permission to use the video. If they refuse their faces would be blurred.

Cos its a hidden camera recording. I cannot put a mic on a person who doesnt know he is being recorded, obviously. The whole project is a form of a social experiment. Right now I am thinking about getting a Zoom F1 or Tascam DR 10L as a somewhat affordable recorder. Thought I am not sure how much exactly it will boost the quality over a phone + lav mic and if it worth the investment. We shall see. Tascam is nice because you can boost gain and use a secondary -12\-6 db track to get the most out of someones quite voice + better battery live + more portable Zoom on the other hand can be used with any other zoom microphone add-ons and I happen to have at least one. Plus better screen I guess. Not sure which root to go yet. About sync - it would be nice to have but not necessary as I figured out a way to do it manually.

I have a project where I need to record conversations with people using a hidden camera. The conversation most of the time involve two people in the midst of a crowded city, so there is plenty of a background noise. Right now I am using a lav mic connected to a phone which is defiantly not the best solution. I tried sokani wireless system, but again its a lav mic but most importantly the signal is not stable, it cuts often cos of the abundance of other radio signals in the area. So rode wireless go wont work as well. Lav mic with phone gives very mediocre results. You can hear a person wearing it, but other person sometimes is hard to hear. So which setup would you recommend? I need something portable as well, so a person can hide main recording unit and microphone somewhere. Right now, an interviewer is a girl and she snaps a lav mic to her bag, like a fluffy toy and nobody notices cos it looks like something natural. So I can hang a bigger fluffy toy, by which I mean a deadcat with a bigger mic on her bag, but I need to know what king of mic to use. Shotgun is not a great idea, cos you need to direct it to a talking person. This one she cannot direct, just choose and keep her distance.

IBIS (just licence the one from your partners in Panasonic or buy one from JIP\Olympus) PDAF Internal BRAW 4k60p Record to SSD Big, bright, 5 inch flip-out screen 1.8 primes, like 20, 35, 50, 85 Don't mind camera to get bigger with all of that

Who will get Olympus IBIS? Would be cool if they'd just licence it to everyone who wants.

I have very nice and compact RGB lights Vijim VL-2, but I really want to make some sort of diffusion add-on. Kind of like those: https://aliexpress.ru/item/4000327099448.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.4dae3c00eDBBlw&mp=1&_ga=2.141667378.1643993496.1592316009-563455226.1581321775 But with deeper pocket for white diffusion. Those in the link above dont fit my light anyway. So the idea is to model them myself and 3d-print. I just need to know the right material to do it. Any idea on which one to use?

Biggest fail imo - going for 24-70 instead of 16-35.

Another pretty cool and similar speced sensor - Sony IMX700. Same 50/12.5 mpx and even bigger sensor size at 1/1.28 incn. And this one should be avaliable to a broader audience thanks to Sony market share in sensor department. You can see one inside Huawei P40 already.

Now what I really want is for someone to put this puppy in a compact gimbal a-la Osmo Pocket. In a perfect world they would also concoct a build-in ND filter and a Zoom lens like 16-35mm. It doesn't need to be exactly pocket, I am OK with it beeing 2-3 times the size of Osmo pocket, but that would be my dream all around go everywhere hassle free small gimbal.

It's not bright at all in RGB mode and huge in footprint. Do not recommend. I went with Vijim V-2 which is 50$ on Ali, 200 gramm, compact, has 3 hour fast charge battery inside, various effects and freakishly bright for its size. And yeah, you can stick it to metal as it has a magnet back. I do recommend this one

It should be 4k or less, otherwise very few ppl will buy it in current market position.

Does video has multi-exposure blending? It doesn't have sensors all around so not technically possible

Do we know any possible hints on its release date?

I am seriously impressed by DeepL though 😍

It had IBIS working only in stills mode, not video.

That was fast 😅 Now pack that into new dji osmo pocket along with 1/1.3 hmx tetracell sensor and we are good to go

Advanced DFD doesnt sound very optimistic. I wish they would just add PDAF everyone is asking for the past 4 years.

Looking at XT4 I start thinking that APC-S could be the sweet spot between video-specs\overall size of the system\dof and lowlight\price. I wounder what X-H2 may bring to the table as well.

Still zero rumors for actual GH6 I have time till may (XT4 shipment start) to make up my mind.

So 1.18 crop in 4k60p

IBIS looks quite decent in my eyes. I want to see how their DIS works though. Noticed edge warping on wide angle lenses, same as Panasonic.

It would be cooler if they would just implement that to android OS.

EIS is not accessible by 3rd party apps on Xiaomi phones. Which means a very shaky image even on a gimbal in FilmiPro or any other app where you want log, unsharpening, 24p, etc.. Just keep this in mind before buying any android phone for that purpose. You need to check every phone thoroughly for compatibility with Filmic Pro.

85 was made for FF originally they just swapped the mount. Those lenses on the other hand are build for APC-S from the start.
