Panasonic dual IS looks quite good too. For Panasonic Dual IS is where it becomes quite useful. IBIS on manual lenses was nice, but really not that useful unless you really hate having a tripod or monopod.

Should be a nice system. That is just the legs though?

I just got a Miller 20 for a good price on eBay. Nothing beats a good tripod at the end of the day. Still trying to decide what legs I want though.

Yeah he has a health food channel he's been doing for a long time. Cost of living is quite cheap there I imagine though. He probably doesn't make that much. He previously lived with his mom.

I am kind of thinking the GH6 won't arrive until next spring. Seems like the GH5S and GH5 are still too new for them to throw out another camera so quick.

I grew up watching cropped VHS movies though, so low quality video does hold a certain nostalgic to me. I can feel nostalgic about something I never experienced though, I have a fascination with the 1960s and 80s even though I grew up in the 90s/2000s. There is definitely a difference between film and digital though its very hard for me to make out. A good copy of an older film looks very detailed especially once you get past the black and white era. I remember seeing Star Wars the Force Awakens and I really couldn't tell it was shot on film though it was advertised that way. I've been going through the same process you have. GH2(Broke) then I got the GH4 followed by the GH5. Sold both and purchased a X-T20. My reason for switching was actually color. I got the XT3 when it was released and for me I am satisfied with it like you are with the GH5. I have weighed things a lot and there really isn't much more I need. An Alexa is cool but at the same time the XT3 gives me things the Alexa doesn't and its more practical for me.

True though shooting weddings ends up being a lot more utilitarian than directing a movie. I am not saying gear is going to prevent you from making something great, but it makes it easier or else we'd all still be shooting on film.

It must have 4k I demand it.

That definitely makes sense. Its partly why I am considering switching over to exclusively Canon cameras for the glass options. There is a wide selection of glass for manual and auto focus options. Fuji doesn't have a ton of manual glass options. I use auto focus to the point where its a bit essential for how I shoot. However I also use manual focus a lot too. Like you had mentioned Fuji auto focus glass is not really ideal for manual focus. I already have a set of Minolta vintage glass, which I love. But than comes the issue of fuji and minolta not matching color wise, not sure yet how dramatic the difference is. This is what I am going to do. I was considering waiting for the X-T30. The only thing I need it to have is log or eterna. However the other downside of the X-T30 is no battery grip. The X-T2 plus battery grip might actually be more advantageous to me than the improved auto focus of the X-T30. There is also the issue with the XH-1 of moire in 1080p recording which is a bummer. I am at a bit of a crossroads in regards to this. My interest as a filmmaker was initially story driven, though that may be because at the time I didn't really understand the visual element or what went into it. I've since delved into the obsession with cameras and gear, which oddly enough doesn't really correlate much with story or visuals. I love good visuals and they compliment any good story but of course like most people what makes me excited to turn on the TV is an engaging story and compelling acting. Though I have to say when amazing visuals and amazing story meet, that's what gets me truly excited. I am coming to a point where I am a bit of a utilitarian. If only to let me focus more on the creative aspects without gear holding me up more than in needs to. I really like to use auto focus for certain applications, though I use manual focus a lot too. Might have to look into Fuji zooms, though not sure if I am ready to jump into PL mount glass yet.

Because its 2019 ?, not saying I'd be surprised but I'll at least be optimistic.

They do have a cinema line to protect like Canon and Sony.

I think they will but its more than likely no PDAF in 4k.

dammit too many entrepreneurs these days

You did a pretty good job, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. The glow effect works nicely too. I've heard a lot of people advise against using the filters as if you decide against the look its too late. That said its certainly easier if you know for sure that is the look you want. I do love the look in general.

That's definitely true, maybe I just needed to hear someone else say it. I used to own the GH5 and part of me wants it back. Its probably more of a hiccup in my workflow though.

Yes but it was that or have double threads? In my defense something is wonky on this forum as it posted twice for no apparent reason. I also can't set my avatar for some reason ??

Really debating what camera system to go with right now. I am very happy with everything the XT3 offers, and I currently own it along with a few Fuji lenses. I may just buy an XH1 and XT2 for my B and C cameras and call it a day. However I am also toying with the idea of a GH5 or C100 as a B or C camera. If anyone could send me some side by side footage from a C100 or GH5 next to any Fuji camera recorded in LOG, I'd appreciate it. Something with skintones would be awesome. Want to see how easily I can get them to match.

accident lol

Have you considered the EOS R?

One could also argue one day M43 will be good enough where the practical advantages of full frame are little(Depth of field) while the M43 system could have the advantage of being smaller.

So in general the older mount lenses perform just as good?

I completely understand why they would make new lenses. What is annoying is the new mount, unless that was necessary for the new lenses to perform better.

Does anyone know if Black Magic ever officially confirmed BRAW will come to the Pocket 4k?

IMHO smaller sensors will always have an edge with better features. Neither Olympus or Panasonic have taken full advantage of M43 yet IMHO. Panasonic has been conservative keeping their bodies from overheating but if they pushed them as much as Sony has they could do more while sacrificing reliability. We'll see how much they push the GH6, if its as big a jump as the GH5 was to the GH4 it could be something very compelling.

I did say arguably. Other cameras definitely have less color shift at higher ISO's like the GH5S at 6400 iso. Though when you get to super high ISO's nothing competes with the A7SII at least in terms of having an image with reasonable amount of detail. That said its kind of a silly discussion. ?
