I do the occasional event coverage (music/dance plays), and I would strongly considered using all 3 of them (usually have 3 camera operators and 4 cameras, I use a dSLR for a very wide shot and a video camera for closer looks on the scene). This JVC looks like a winner, it is maybe a firmware update away from being the best video/cine camera hybrid. I do not see a niced priced Canon 4K video camera coming any soon! Because it cant use the m4/3, s16 or the active EF lenses. I like the nx1 alot but my B-cam need to share the mount of the A-cam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I googled that to check, and you are right, as been so for decades.

A BMPC4K with an active MFT.. I can crop the sensor in post for you.. instant buy.) I'd much prefer the BMMCC over the BMPCC as they're similar prices, because it gives you better internal battery life and 60fps slow motion. Oh, and a BMPC4K with MFT could use the full BMPC4K sensor, just like the LS300 (the 4.6K sensor however is just a little too big). I hope at NAB they announce a URSA Mini 4K MFT!

It seems nice but as B-cam to the LS300 the pocket is more suitable imo. It doesn't need 60p as the LS300 gets 120p in the next firmware. Battery isn't to important either, can probably get a plate for the JVC batteries. Also it would mean an external monitor to carry as well and then the stealth is compromised. But currently the 5D is more likely for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagnje Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Very interesting. Colors look nice an neutral in j-log. Not the flatest profile, reminds me alot of cinestyle canon footage, actually everything looks very canon like to me. The DR looks very decent, 10+ stops?

Very comparable to c-log but a little less than BMDFilm. Totally fine given how versitile the camera is. Today I will se what f0.95 does to the s35 Liam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagnje Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Well, you go me doing math the 120fps update is coming you say? I didn`t go thru every post...what was it with 10 bit? SDI, HDMI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted April 5, 2016 Author Super Members Share Posted April 5, 2016 It doesnt have 10-bit. But it does broadcast aproved 4:2:2 in HD internally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted April 5, 2016 Author Super Members Share Posted April 5, 2016 Will probably get some new footage up tomorrow. Tested the HD 4:2:2 Slowmo today. My copy still only have the 50/60p. But if the upcoming 120p is equally clean, it will be awesome. 50p 1/100 50p 1/100 Included this frame just to show the fence thats free from aliasing. I also got the Mitakon 35mm f0.95 today. Its a m4/3 mount but designed for APS-C, so full coverage.

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted April 6, 2016 Author Super Members Share Posted April 6, 2016 Its a shame I dont have a speedbooster to test with the camera. But another fellow did and he says, "So I tried using my SB with my old Nikon primes and hoped that there was enough sensor coverage to keep the VSM at 100% and still take advantage of the extra f-stop. Unfortunately to get rid of the vignette I had to set it to 92%. " Sounds like a good deal to me. Maping to 92% and gain a stop. Could be a nice tool to have if I for example want to keep using my 24-105 but the sun is setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagnje Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 so if I get it right you get 92% of the full frame with a speedbooster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use the speedbooster it will cover 92% of the s35. Meaning you can shoot 4K with no loss in resolution with the sensor mapped at 92%.

Justin Bacle Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I know it might sound stupid, but is there any difference in quality (aliasing, moiré, sharpness) between a 100% and 90% coverage ? The digital processing on this thing looks like obscure magic to me (and I did work in Signal Processing and Vision Imaging !) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagnje Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 oh ok. so you gain about a stop of light and loose about 8% of the FOW? Without the speedbooster you get a 100% coverage of the s35 right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you get more FOV : 1,08x crop of the full frame + 1 stop (with the speedbooster + 92% mapping) versus 1,5 crop of the s35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted April 6, 2016 Author Super Members Share Posted April 6, 2016 Im looking forward to completing the review, test all kinds of vintage glass like c-mounts and my K3-Bayonets. Unfortunately I have to return it this week and don't really have time for another two weeks.... ..so I have bought one Here are 5 Reason why. Im hoping to get my own copy in a week or so. Ordered it from Germany and they seem a bit slow. I suspect they bring them home on order.

majoraxis Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Here's a video that compares the dynamic range LS300 against some "affordable" cameras. Don't know if I would call the FS5 affordable, but still interesting to see the dynamic of this camera in JLog. I'm impressed with what this camera can do. Yes, this guy tried to match the cameras as best he could, which might not be the someone else would have done the comparison, but still worth looking at as a data point.

Cinegain Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Imagine what they could do if they'd not only tweak the software part like they did but as well the hardware part... and then rebrand it as Panasonic AG-AF300.

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted April 7, 2016 Author Super Members Share Posted April 7, 2016 Put on some s16 magic today The frame was from the zoom with a bit to much iso, it was getting dark. The 12mm is very compact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
