I agree that m43 is much more adaptable. While I have a good collections of both, it would be nice to be able to get the advantages of the SB on the the EVA1. Still I remain unconvinced to this date. The 800-5000 ISO of the Varicam is a much more useable spacing. I already have the GH5 set to a max of 1600 ISO to keep things clean. But would love the ability to have a 5000 base ISO. That would be reason enough to add the EVA1. But unfortunately Panasonic did not add this level of separation. I will need to be convinced. And only footage will do that. I hope the lowlight performance is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed...and the GH5 already gets you close to the EVA 2nd native ISO...I would rather have another GH5 and perhaps an SLRMagic anamorphic lens to go with the new anamorphic open gate feature...check out Ozark to see what the Varicam and 5000 native ISO looks like....the opted for a very cold grade, but no questioning what a powerhouse system the Varicam is...and the GH5 is quite happily in there with it IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members BTM_Pix Posted September 4, 2017 Author Super Members Share Posted September 4, 2017 This is a bit more of a fly on the wall affair! Its looks to me like a dealer has live streamed a Panasonic rep doing a demo to his staff or customers and there is some interesting HFR stuff in there if nothing else. If you can get round the ambient sound which makes it sound like it was shot in a shared space with a cafeteria and/or a bicycle bell demonstration facility.

jonpais Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Radio 88, shot with the EVA1, along with two other shorts, will be live Friday or Saturday. The DP says the image quality is virtually indistinguishable from that of the Varicam. source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Kotlos Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Here is the J. Derango video in which he claims color is close to the Varicams: Elle Schneider (Creative Director at Digital Bolex) is also testing one, but I don't know if that means colors are anywhere close to Bolex. Sure hope so And on the negative side, here are some comments about the excessive noise in the footage above: Again, I ll say that the EF mount was a bad decision. At least they should have made it replaceable.

tweak Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Not a fan of that "First EVA1" video. I'm sure we will see good stuff coming out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If felt more like a blue cast than an actual grade. Some scenes looked like they shot them in broad daylight and someone put a blue gel over my TV screen. Bizarre.
