Escalate it quickly

Exactly. He has almost 500K followers, he is part of the problem, he helped create it and now he is playing the virgin. It sounds to me like a butcher lecturing on veganism. This is the second whining he has done in a few months and both times it was because of a Lumix review. At this point I don't think it's a casual thing. Yet if you read the comments to his whining, everyone agrees with him. Maybe all the loser haters are here.

Sorry guys, I had to do it. I really don't get this guy anymore. This video would be perfect for the "Rise of the salesmen, Death of the artist" thread. @Andrew Reid feel free to delete this post

Whan you can, would you mind to share a couple of raw clips shot by you so I can see how they its on my workflow?

I'm becoming crazy to understand these settings. If i understand it correctly, I have 4:2:2 only in C4K or 4K otherwise I have always 4:2:0. Basically it's like my GH5MII. Am I missing something?

At this point, in an uncertain future video-centric model, I don't see how they can put in other video features while leaving the camera body unchanged since this one even though it has the fan seems to be capped. Maybe they really need to scale up to a box type camera

From the reviews seen so far there is everything and nothing. GU tested it in "lab mode" and slaughtered it. He was smart to report the bugs to Pana who fixed them for him via fw updates. Other youtubers reported problems found by GU but they didn't get the updates and didn't even know they existed. So people who look at their reviews think it all sucks. For example, some say AF is not up to par. If you look at Richard Wong's review the AF is perfect and aligned with Sony. He has fw 1.0. he is the only one who tested extensively on animals and cars and there are some smart features. Other youtubers have tried it on real projects or real use cases and there is very little criticism and they speak very highly of it. Moving the camera left and right like crazy and screaming that the RS is terrible or claiming on paper that having only 12 stops without DR is like swearing in church, seems like bullshit to me. The beloved 5DMKII ML had 9 stops of DR and yet everyone was wetting their pants. In short, lab is one thing and reality is another. BTW the same youtubers who now blast the S1RII are the ones who would hate an S1R that we like a lot.

The review I linked above has a lot of comparisons with S5II, A7CR and for IBIS even Z6III

IMHO Best overall review so far, very long but you can jump the desired chapter:

Yes

Some comments reported that on the line skipped 4K@120p AF is DFD only

It was a typo: 1h 18' sorry Anyway this is the first time I hear something like that from a Lumix camera. How it will perform in the Mediterranean area in summer? This guy got overheating under the sun without even recording (26:55)

Yes my bad. I skipped one hour

@ 21°C 6,4K Open Gate 18 minutes and it shut off

I don't like Gerald Undone but ATM his review is the most spot-on. Camera is packed with a lot of features but a lot of caveat and asterisks. IMHO is a camera for photographers who shot some video. If you shoot mostly video is not a camera for you. GU got a lot of overheating. Just check his review

Sorry, I was quoting Undone and I saw another two videos with the camera locked for overheating. Moreover battery runtime are ridiculous

And first Lumix camera which overheats!

Basically Gerald trashes the camera...

Six years ago we had S1R and S1H and all the rumours always talked about two new cameras and that the first to come out would be the photography-oriented S1R. Reading the leaked specs raises a question in my mind. What if Panasonic only released one camera? From the specs, it looks like it will be chock full of video features in pure Pana style.

Updated rumors:

Yes, but I think Andrew is right, OM is rummaging the basement retrieving the last designs left by the original Olympus team and occasionally combing through and polishing old products here and there. For this lens they only managed to make the stabilization compatible with their camera bodies (!) and little more. It's amazing, they redesigned the tripod collar, WOW. Farewell Olympus, it's a shame because especially in wildlife photography they have a very solid user base. In this field, small, lightweight, high-performance cameras and lenses really make a difference.

In addition to the camera, three lenses were upgraded. Version II of their 100-400 zoom lens was introduced, which I was very interested in. I currently use the Lumix version a lot which is a terrible lens. Optically it is good for its price but can only be used with AF. the zoom and focus rings are practically unusable. impossible to get smooth movement, the plastic creaks and they go jerky. The optical quality of the new 100-400 OM zoom is the same as the old version (mediocre lens) but the big difference is in the stabilization: the first version had practically no stabilization because it did not communicate with the camera. This version interfaces with the camera's stabilization but... (the devil is in the details) the synchronization works only on OM bodies and not on Lumix cameras. Damn them forever! This is yet more proof of the uselessness of the M43 alliance. What is the point if the lenses and camera bodies are not 100% compatible among the various companies in the consortium? It really sucks, and despite investing heavily in the M43 system, I hope they fail permanently. Damn them!

This means that we will have a DOA camera with no possibility of sale. A Leica SL* in 2024 has reason to exist only because of the logo's appeal to enthusiasts and fanatics around the world. Panasonic has no chance. Sad but true.
