It wouldn't let me edit my last post, but I wanted to add that the Olympus situation has made me reevaluate M43 a bit. I think it can survive, but Panasonic can't keep denying things like PDAF when that's what the majority of customers want. While it isn't that important to me, the growth/sustainability of the system is because I'm heavily invested in it. I want to know that it will be around and competitive in 5 years, and a big part of that is meeting the expectations of the customers.

I think the GH6 will likely have similar specs as the S1H, with a few extra ones that take advantage of the M43 system. I really hope I'm wrong but I don't expect either ProRes or PDAF. Maybe they'll surprise us, but they really seem dead set on DfD auto focus and I think it's a big, big mistake. It matters little to me personally, but it's clearly what people want / expect. Not doing it would just be a bad look, perception wise.

Remember how Canon flew people to a tropical island for the EOS R announcement? Imagine the R5 in those conditions! 😂

That's wild that it overheats shooting just photos.

Imagine blaming Canon's gigantic fuck up on anyone but Canon.

The argument you made wasn't "the vast majority," it was that no one would use it for anything but a crash cam. That's factually not true. Your comments re: the screen and lenses is a tell that you don't know what you're talking about. No one is using the S1H without rigging it up, unless they absolutely need to. They certainly don't care if they have to adapt lenses, either. You've done nothing but shit post on this forum. Please stop.

Mark is great. One of my favorite YouTubers. I mean, I literally refuted what you said and showed evidence that the S1H is being used on an actual Netflix production. Now share evidence of your production experience, please.

What's your name? Resume? I really do think @Andrew Reid should require people that talk like this to use their real names so we can judge how much credibility we should give what they say. It's way too easy (and common on here) to hide behind "working in the industry" when people disagree with you when you're anonymous

Who knows? Who cares? You said no one was using it for Netflix, outside of it MAYBE being a crash cam. That's not true. I'm guessing his point is that you're speaking as an authority when, truthfully, you probably don't know and have little real experience working on a major production. There seems to be a lot of folks like that on the forums lately.

And why would Netflix help Panasonic to market it by adding it to the approved list?

Mark Holtze is using a S1H and vintage lenses for a Netflix pilot right now.

But it is being used for Netflix productions...

Your English is better than our attempts at speaking your native language would be, so don't feel too bad!

I assume it's because it seems to happen under specific conditions on the Sony, as opposed to Canon where it can happen by just turning it on. Either way, overheating cameras are unacceptable. People need to stop accepting them. Panasonic's auto focus isn't prefect, but they've never overheated on me during a 6 hour shoot in a 100+ degree venue filled with hundreds of people in the middle of July. That's the kind of dependability I am looking for and is the one thing I'm not willing to overlook personally.

It feels like you've made this post a couple dozen different times and it's dumb every time.

Short of a redesign, how do they even fix this? What a disaster.

Funny how his tune changed after mocking people for being concerned about overheating?

This is so depressing. People should never, ever buy a camera that needs some kind of third party cooling solution. Don't reward companies that put out cameras like that.

He loved the C300 and literally released a video saying it was his favorite camera. 3 weeks later he received a camera to try out that he preferred and instead placed an order for 3 of them. Not everything is a conspiracy. It's okay to disagree with his conclusions, but let's be real.

You can be critical of Gerald's opinion without labeling the dude a shill. C'mon people.

Even if the "regular" 4K doesn't overheat... You're gonna pay $4K for line skipped 4K30p?

I agree, I think the overall color is pretty decent. It's not perfect but it's improved. The 10 bit will get you where you want pretty easily.

And Hugh Brownstone, who got 23 minutes outside in 88 degree weather. Honestly any overheating makes me nervous. I guess I'm just spoiled with the GH5 and G85?

They're far from perfect but they've definitely improved them. I liked the footage I saw in Potato Jet's video especially.

I don't mind Panasonic AF since the updates, but it's clearly what is holding a lot of people back from going with them. The biggest problems they have for their full frame offerings are AF and lack of native lenses.
