"You reach a level where that 5% more cannot justify the 10, 20x the price." true

olympus used to have the best jpeg engine.

no surprise. 3 ccd. 1/3 inch means bad low light and no bokur. otherwise, good color.

nice. so using xqd card can have much higher codec rates?

what is this xqd card for?

"What has happened is the gap between the top-end i.e. ARRI and the cheap stuff has closed up. This has been going on ever since the start of the DSLR revolution so it's not a new thing but there's never been a smaller gap that exists now, for example between something like the Alexa 35 and a $1000 used Panasonic S1H." True

5d3 ml raw can do 1:1 1920x1920. i tried once, like hassy in video.

pantax cameras are good for mf lenses in the current era. i have a pentax q, amazed at its support for mf lenses even with such a small body.

at certain point, the lens industry is more for other things than the iq. canon l lenses are a good example, dust free, build quality (fine for me on this), af, optical is (fine for me in certain situations). they are working horses, but not creative tools. use another example, vintage voigtlander heliar lenses are so good for portrait. not sharp, but good enough, great oof, just right on the spot for human faces, even better in bw. even 50 years ago, they did it right.

once you are in the mf lenses realm, there is no way back. you will be a hoarder lol

don't underestimate gopro. its problem is low light. otherwise, very good for your case.

r means red?

looking my previous footage, i still like ml raw the best, no matter from 5d3 or crop mood cams, like m.

if the camera is too small, the heat will affect the footage. this is why the footage of the alexa classic is better than those of later alexa mini etc.

all true hands on experience. the cmos battery dying is no big deal. get a cheap sd card, save the settings on this sd card, load the settings when needed.
