Looks killer in so many ways. Would be interesting to try one out.

This was unexpected. Quite intrigued to see where this leads, both camera and pantent wise.

It looks like a good upgrade from the original S5. Would have been fun with a new sensor that can do 4k120 but then again S5 is low end segment so I'm guessing they're saving that for the S1 sequel. Phase Detection AF is huge. Also all the prores improvements that they keep delivering are on point.

I wonder if a adapter like this will help to transfer some of the heat away from the body. But in general just being able to use a SSD over CFexpress would be a huge advantage $$. Above my technical skills but here's someone that created their own adapter + DIY https://old.reddit.com/r/canon/comments/i4082w/made_a_cfexpress_to_m2_nvme_ssd_adapter/

I think the best options already have been said but there's also the 6-inch version of the Feelworld one, It's slighty lighter than the 7. But I think if you have the z-cam the camera controls with the Portkeys could be quite useful. Atomos Shinobi, 1000 nits, 193 g Portkeys LH5H, 1700 nits, 170 g Feelworld LUT6, 2600 nits, 300 g

Panasonic does a lot great stuff but this is a bit weird move from their side because it seemed like they wanted to position their FF l-mount series as all premium/top of the line (much based on their base lens prices) and now they decide do this. S1 body usually goes brand new for what would equal to $1799 USD (without tax) here in sweden. For me the S1 already feels like the "base"-model, not sure why they would want to go lower if this is the case. Will be interesting to see how much it will differentiate from the S1. Except for the smaller body (which I prefer so that's good 😀) but specs alone they look pretty similar.

Ok so I was a bit sleepy when I wrote that sentence. What I was tryin to say was if it has been confirmed anywhere at what in-body temperature that each camera is set to turn off? Because if there is a difference, like lets say the A7S turns off at 160°F and the R5 turns off at 150°F then there is some room for tweaking those numbers in a later firmware. Dan Watson is the only one I've seen that used a thermometer so far (for some reason he didn't include the actual reading when they turned off though which is a shame). I hope to see some more in-depth thermal tests (suggestion for all you awesome reviewers out there! 😀) when the final units starts shipping. So many great cameras out right now to choose from, unbelievable!

That Dan Watson video made me wondering if A7S and R5 overheat/shut down at the same temperature software wise? Or if they have different cutoff points. Haven't seen any hard numbers on this. The R5 manual doesn't seem to mention any specific number?

Interested to see how well it works, have they posted any samples? (I don't have facebook) Is it in testing phase or they ready to ship?

Looks really good! You guys in US are quite lucky. I think we got F-ed in Sweden as the pre-order price equals close to $6000 😱 Insane. Was hoping it would have been a bit lower than that. But overall it looks like a great camera for hybrid shooters.

Solid updates! What I like with Panasonic is that they seem to keep updated on critique that is written on social media/forums. Quite big that they went a total u-turn on the HFR exposure limitation on the S1, as they not long ago defended it as a clear differentiation from the S1H. But I think this was the right move, it makes the S1 a bit more appealing again.

Actually I take that back. Now that I look at the trees they look very weird too, I didn't notice that at first. Like they are ghosting/smearing or something - almost like when there's data loss in a codec, like a frame only partially transfers over to the next.

It's there in both P1000119 and P1000120. It's less apparent in P1000119 because it's slighty out of focus but as soon as it locks (at 0:06 mark) it gets the same effect on the window frame. Maybe someone got a better explanation but I would still call that moire. It has a tendency to make things "dance" when they are in a sweet spot (because of the pixel shift that takes place). Sadly this is an artifact that comes with the S1 in the aps-c mode. In general thin lines and no anti-aliasing does make it difficult for the sensor to interpret as to which pixel to bind it to. But you're saying the new clips does not have this issue?

Another good thorough review with extensive image quality tests. In Polish but has english subtitles.

I wouldn't accuse Panasonic or Nikon for lying when they claim they use their own sensors in interviews, when they clearly do not. Or Samsung for using Sharp panels in their TVs even though they don't disclose it. It's just information that they have no interest in sharing with us, and rightfully so. If you see that as a problem you are rather questioning how the industry works in general than on RED itself. Then again the patent is something completely different and that's where the shady stuff seemingly (and maybe even illegal?) has taken place so I'm more curious to learn about that part.
