As someone that had to work with it, Flash sucked. I'm glad it's gone. Streaming video has improved greatly because of it. I don't know anyone that misses it.

Sensor size really isn't important for most event / sport shooting. If I could afford a second set of cameras to use for sports I'd go the same route. I love my GH5 and G85, and they get the job done, but they're not the ideal solution for sports shooting. But they handle everything I throw at them, from weddings to corporate to sports. From a feature standpoint, yeah. It was an incremental update for a 4 year old camera, which is kinda ridiculous. I was ready to give them my money and then... "nope." Give me a pocket camera that I can carry at all times, or put in places that are too small for a regular camera, that has comparable IQ and colors to my regular cameras, isn't ridiculously expensive and TAKE MY MONEY!

This wedding season I've seen quite a few Nikons, enough for me to feel like they're doing okay. Their users are very loyal, more so than Canon I think. I've seen more Nikon Z's than EOS R's too, though Canon overall still dominates. It's an informal poll based on my experiences, but the doom and gloom seems to be a bit over exaggerated. I've seen very few Sony's and no Panasonic full frame offerings.

You really don't understand why people complain about Premiere? ------ I've ditched Adobe completely. The only thing that is causing me issues is the lack of After Effects competitor. Fusion just isn't clicking with me, it goes against how my brain works. I've tried and tried, to no avail. I really, really hope something comes along soon.

The frustrating thing about these releases is my YouTube main page being inundated with these shills all posting at the same time their "reviews." Even the more thoughtful, non-shill reviewers rush to get their video out instead of putting together a more thoughtful, comprehensive video because everyone has gotta get those hits! It's why I like someone like Three Blind Men and an Elephant. Even when I don't agree with him, his videos are very thoughtful and thorough. They also aren't rushed. He was at the reveal event, and gave some of his first thoughts in videos he posted, but he just released his more thorough video today, and whether I agree with him or not I'm sure it'll be more insightful than most of the videos that came out immediately.

Most people don't want 4K60 to output to 4K60, they want it for slow motion.

You can leave / stop reading. It's his site / forum.

4K60 should be easier to do on a 1" sensor, no? I imagine it'd overheat though, given I think the last RX100 could only record in 4K for a couple minutes before overheating.

80"+ TVs won't be commonplace anytime soon. How many people really have the room in their homes for one, whether it's mounted on the wall or on a stand? Most of us can't really see the full benefit of 4K on our TVs and monitors unless we're literally right in front of them. Most people that think they NEED 8k really don't.

It's funny because I'm in the camp of disliking Sony's colors, but I feel like this lens compliments them pretty well. And it not being so sharp gives it character.

Mathieu Stern is one of my favorite YouTubers because he collects weird/old lenses and adapts them to use on mirrorless cameras. My Papa used to have this same camera so this was so cool to see! I actually think it produces a really elegant or ethereal image. Good stuff! Anyway many of you are probably aware of Mathieu but for those that aren't I figured I'd share!

I imagine they'll come up with a higher level camera over a small mirrorless hybrid to film the Olympics.

They're not shooting the Olympics on a A7Siii!

Skip needing to defend the Z6 even when no one is really attacking it sure is something.

It's all about preference really. I appreciate auto focus but a lot of the time I prefer manual focus. Depends on the situation. I think for a long time it was a pride thing, to be able to say I prefer manual focus. As time has passed though I realize that I genuinely prefer how it looks and the control it gives me. I get the appeal of accurate, whippy auto focus and for sports and documentary work where you get one chance to nail focus it's great. But when I see it used in controlled conditions and control environments, I just don't like the look of it.

They should consider hiring you tbh

I've mostly used the Moza Air with the GH5 and G85, so I can't really help you too much other than to say that micro jitters aren't uncommon when using lower end gimbals with non stabilized bodies / lenses. You can do things to try and minimize it (Ninja walk!) but a lot of times they'll still show up. What percentage of your work will be commercial and what will be travel? I think for travel I'd lean towards the GH5 because of the IBIS. Personally I rarely use my gimbal because the combination of IBIS and stabilized lenses gives me such a nice, natural handheld look. I also appreciate being able to shoot with such a stripped down set up. I can literally just shoot with the camera, no rig or stabilization, and get great results. The IBIS also works great with adapted lenses! For more planned / studio shoots the GH5s is really great, too. It has better color, better low light, and better image quality. I don't know if this helps at all!

I don't see what is so unbelievable about this rumor? I feel Panasonic has been pretty good about delivering on stuff like this.

I don't understand the move towards XQD when it's not necessary from a tech standpoint. If SD cards are sufficient why go XQD, other than to push a new more expensive format on consumers?

Dropbox is roughly around that price, too. Google Drive though works well, and though it says you have a 2 TB limit I believe they don't actually enforce it. I have both, since a lot of people I work with use Dropbox and it's easier for them to use.

The one I recommend is $90 ?

My point kinda flew over your head, but OK. Cheers!

Canon produces nicer colors than Sony, yes, but no newer camera really "destroys" any other newer camera. They're all capable of producing good video, even Sony. The major difference is personal preference and workflow. Which is the best tool for your type of work? @Mattias Burling has always had the right attitude, I think. He uses the Canon EOS R because it's the right tool for him and his work. Nothing more, nothing less. He's not going on about how it "destroys" this camera or that camera, because even if it were true it's not really relevant. What's good for you might not be good for me and features that are important to you might not be important to me. All of these cameras will still be able to produce "good enough" images 5 years from now, even as new cameras with better specs get released, just as there are people producing good videos today using old GH cameras or old Canon Rebel cameras. You ask what camera can touch the Z6? Pretty much all of them, honestly. And that's okay. Almost all of the things you praise about the Z6, including the sensor size, are "specs." ?

He loves hard but not long. Hope this relationship lasts longer than his love affair with Panasonic!

The GH5, with its 4k 60p and much better stabilization. When did hyperbolic nonsense pass from camera manufacturers to the actual camera users? These are cameras, not sports teams. Give it a rest with the "x destroys x!" stuff.
