The GH6 will have no need for a 41MP sensor. A G10 or whatever they decide to call the G9's successor might though.

I think as Sigma and Panasonic release more lenses it'll pick up, but until then it'll go through the same thing Sony went through a few years ago when they didn't have the lens lineup they have now. Problem is, is it too late in general to play catch up if you're Panasonic? I think for video shooters no. I think the S1 has done pretty good for them, and I think the S1H will do good for that audience. For photographers though? I think it's a real uphill battle to gain much of a market share there.

It's not crap, I just don't think there's much of a market for it. It's not ideal for video, and there are more popular options for photographers who need that many megapixels.

Not sure I'd get the S1R if your primary use will be video.

This is absolutely a scam of some sort. Most Meike reviews I've seen have been very positive but they've also been from people that got free lenses to review, so your mileage may vary on how unbiased those reviews are. I trust some more than others.

Smdh! ? Dumb? No. Unnecessary? Probably. If you're seriously considering buying this I'd wait to see when it will be released and what the specs actually are. You also might find used prices on A7iii cameras dropping on the used market once it's announced.

If I could sell a kidney in time I would!

Also over twice as much on the used market! I'm getting the 35-100 for a good deal.

It's great news if they've decided to bulk it up to help with overheating / allowing better performance.

Question: I've got someone offering me a good deal on the Panasonic 35-100 f2.8 mk I. Is anyone using it for video and is there a jittering problem like I've heard the mk II has?

You da man

You can buy a cheap fresnel which might help! It'll intensify the 60W quite a bit. I'm eyeing one myself. In the grand scheme of things it actually is pretty affordable! But only if you're doing this full time on a much bigger scale! Those are the kind of lights that'll last for a long, long time. Whereas if the Godox only lasts me 5 years (I don't think it will, it's really well built) I'll be really annoyed but at the end of the day I only spent $100 on it (got 3 for $100 each!) so I can't complain too much, that one you know it'll go you for years and years. Lighting is usually a smart long term investment. An example: My buddy Matt works in NYC doing grip and lighting for TV networks in the area. He's plugged into that scene, and he regularly sees lights that are being given away as studios/networks/etc. upgrade their lighting set up. You're probably thinking "giving away? That doesn't sound like a smart investment!" The thing is these are 20 or 30 year old lights! And they still work! They've gotten their monies worth 100x over on the original investment. People have pieced together light kits that would've cost over $100k 25 years ago, for free, because there's such an abundance of these things all over the place!

I'm forecasted to get between 1 and 2 feet of snow while he's talking about filming on the beach! Smdh

I'm guessing it wasn't a sensor issue, but a processing one.

I hate you. ? Thanks all! I'm looking at these right now to put in my Adidas. If that doesn't work I'm gonna try out a pair of New Balance!

Thanks for all the help so far!

Yeah, Curtis Judd reviewed the Godox 200w recently and the fan noise was a complaint he had. It seems that replacing the fans has caused increased flickering in a lot of these lights. People complained about the 60w's fan noise but unless your mic is like right on top of it I can't see (or hear!) how it's a problem. I love the light though, it was a lot brighter than I was expecting.

Yeah, I mean the truth is all of these cameras today can get you lovely images with just a little know how. If you have the means to upgrade then by all means, but generally you don't need to until you're not able to achieve what you're looking for with what you have. I saw that light 6 months or so ago and really considered getting one, but in the end I ended up getting two Godox SL-60Ws because there's not a ton of info out there about the Neewer. Fan noise also tends to be an issue on a lot of these budget COB lights. I got two Godox lights for $200 total off eBay and I've been very pleased.

Getting into lighting is addictive, so beware friends! ? Seems like a new light comes out every week that makes my say "I want that!"

Did that get rid of the foot pain totally?

On newer M43 cameras there's not a ton of difference, re: rolling shutter, between 1080p and 4K. For me, the main benefit is smaller file sizes. For simple projects where I know I won't need 4K I'll still film in 1080p, especially on the GH5, because I know how good the 1080p is. Not all 1080p is equal though. You'll wanna research the 1080p for any potential camera you're purchasing if you still intend to use it. A friend of mine found that out the hard way when he bought a Sony: the 1080p was awful and he is forced to shoot 4K to get decent 1080p now.

Eff lighting and lenses... NEW CAMERA! ? That's really good advice, honestly. I'll still be filming on my GH5 for years to come and will likely sell my G85 and buy a second GH5 used when the used price lowers down even more. One, it's an incredible camera, and two, your camera isn't all that important, especially these days when you can get lovely images on a $300 camera. My lenses, mics, lights, filters, etc. are all things that will carry over with me for years and years to come. One thing I would suggest is, if you think you're going to move away from M43 in the not so distant future it'd probably make sense to invest in lenses that can adapt to other cameras. I have two Panasonic 12-35 f/2.8 lenses for my multi camera / sports / event work because having a native lens in those situations is beneficial. The rest of my lenses are pretty much all vintage and manual lenses with other mounts that I can easily adapt should the day come when I move to a different system. Switching systems can get pretty expensive, especially if you have to get all new lenses. Another reason to stick with the G7 is that it still has a very nice image. It's a little limiting when it comes to color grading, dynamic range, etc. but to me it's still a relevant camera in 2019 and beyond, especially for beginners and hobbyists. Though I've started suggesting the G85 to beginners and hobbyist since the used price has gone down so much, the G7 is still a killer little camera.

Heck these days you can edit 4K on a $550ish custom PC build. Rendering and export might not be very fast, but playback and editing is fine. Editing wise computers have come a long way and fast since the days when H264 would strangle my computer to death! I remember how frustrating it was to edit it on my top of the line Mac Pro 10 years ago!

They're definitely up there, as I'm finding out! I've never really had a problem until recently. I do wonder if it's related to my weight loss somehow. I figured if anything though it'd have helped! But maybe it's thrown my walking off balance or something? I've thought about that, but really, in my every day life it's not a problem at all. It's just video shoots, especially on hard floors, where it kills me.

Looking at those Ultra Boost shoes. I'm thinking I might try some soles first, since they're a bit costly, but I think I'll pick up a pair when I'm ready to get new ones. I have a decent pair of Adidas that I wear, and I'm really happy with them for general use. Any recommendations on soles? Does that really help?

I've been having trouble lately on long shoots with my feet, particularly my heels, being in a lot of pain. It seems to have gotten worse as I get older; I'm a big guy (320 pounds) who has lost 140 pounds, but somehow it's gotten worse (go figure!) Does any one have any suggestions, be it techniques or shoe insoles that'll help relieve the pain from standing and moving around all day? I tried Google but I'm overwhelmed by all of the options. I just would prefer my poor heels and feet not hurt like a mofo! Getting old stinks!
