Avenger 2.0

Same here, also got a used 5D4, but will be reselling it. Just to expensive to keep for the limited work I do at the moment. And the 5D3 is indeed good enough for still with fast glass when not pushing the exposure too much.

And those 5D Mark III become dirt cheap now. Just bought myself a 5D3 with 300k clicks and some battery/memory cards for just €200 😎

Indeed, if you compare the 7DII build quality against the R7, it looks (and probably feels) like a toy. Wonder if it will even will survive though use like the 7DII did. I'm afraid this is the best we will see from Canon (in crop body anyway). Feel the same about the 5D series. While the R5 / R6 are specs wise a serious upgrade, these cameras will not survive the though conditions and 'misuse' people put their DSLR counterparts through.

Saw the Jared Polin preview and he said the R7 didn't overheat on a hot (demo) day shooting video all day and there is no time limit on recording 😎 Also looks to have dual sd card recording for video and C.LOG3.

The R7 combined with the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 and Variable ND EF to RF Adapter could potentially be a killer combo 😎 Of course the big question is, how soon will it overheat and recover.

Maybe it's better to buy a second hand GH5 II now and wait till this camera is mature. Guess that will still take some years...

Also still searching for one. Unfortunately no good deal to be found (or for any video camera that matter).

Just got a broken Nikon ED AF-S Nikkor 28-70mm f2.8 D for €99 (The Bourne Lens) that was easy repair 😎

Waiting for the upcoming Mini 3 😎

Maybe stupid question, but what if you use a cheap (uncoated) UV filter on the lens instead? Will this not give flares without ruining your lens?

If you already own a workhorse 5D IV and need a second one for like doing a wedding (backup or second shooter), it makes sense to rent the same as you have.

I'm thinking DFD++ 😋 Somehow Panasonic won't or can't implement PDAF. But if they somehow do, I can buy a cheap S1/S5 real soon 😎

I'm in no way saying DFD is bad since I'm really impressed by the G9 2.0 update. For photography I even like it better then the competition (that has PDAF) and for video with C-AF in good light it's also great. Somehow people like bashing Panasonic for it's lack of PDAF, yet accept the crappy almost non existing AF from blackmagic. And you hear lots of rumors about new AF systems for the GH6, while I just thing it will have an (even more) improved version of DFD.

Personally I think it will just have DFD and everyone will be disappointed 😄

Is it not remapping dead pixels by itself after using it for a while?

Wonder if the GH5S will get BRAW as well (since it received Prores RAW).

ProRes was made to be easy on CPU/GPU, so not sure hardware accelerated support will give any advantage. For h264 and h265 hardware accelerated support will give significant advantage.

So which graphics card from amd/nvidea would one recommand that has the best support for Canon/Panasonic 10-bit h.265?

Canon and video in their dslr/mirrorless is always crippled. The biggest thing to me is the single card recording while doing video. Making it useless as a professional tool.

Nice! To bad Resolve still can't import Prores RAW. Guess no plans to bring BRAW to GH5S?

Thanks. Unfortunately the SmallRig Cage is discontinued and nowhere to be found in stock. Guess I better wait for a second hand deal with cage included then.

Have found an open box deal (without resolve license) for the BMMCC for 440 euro. Still worth it? Or better to search a second hand deal with rig/cables/etc included?

So how does that work? Doesn't the door have an 'open' detector/switch? You have to block it?

Nice, but wish there was a way to not have to cut into the door and lose warranty, weather sealing and resale value.

Indeed, but still love them for older cams that still have low bitrate codecs like C100, FS100/FS700, etc... You can get those Ninja 2 / Blade nowadays for next to nothing and get a free monitor with scopes and false color as a bonus.
