Pana is moving to full frame, so I doubt the GH series will see RAW. I think the challenge will come from China. It will probably get fierce... Look at the drone and gimbal market. There are not shortage of contenders. Competition is good for the consumers. tweak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people in the Gimbal market, but it seems like DJI really owns the Drone market, who else really competes with them in terms of high quality products? Would definitely be interesting to see some other companies start getting into the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also Kinefinity. And DJI too (who are a chinese company, and their X5R & X7 cameras are impressive). Emanuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I've recently been in touch with Chinese. Indeed. This forum will even hear news from it. They are the next level. BTW, along the recent history of technology and high tech, let alone Economy to begin with and ever, no other society in the world has changed like them!

Yeah but Kinefinity isn't really competing with anyone, very small market. 2 hours ago, webrunner5 said: Parrot Drones are pretty nice also. https://www.parrot.com/us/drones#bundles Yeah but even their most expensive drone (which is not even expensive at $599) only has a 2 axis gimbal. I don't see anyone putting out DJI level products or even attempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshGiant Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Engineer on the FB group said they are talking to a 3rd party company about a monitor that can control the camera, then today they sent a link to buy the PortKeys LH5 HDR (which does have that ability) $279 5 inch 1500NITS 1080p Pinch to Zoom 3D LUTS, focus assist, false colors... 360 degree swivel arm available Jan. 1st Those two together would be a really great little package. I might buy both today. If the camera turns out to be a dud I can return it to B&H for 30 days. If it turns out to be incredible, then I'll sell my GH5 and get a 2nd for interview set ups.

That just tells you they are not stocking many as the interest is sparse. From reading what early adopters are reporting this camera comes with certain hiccups. Not that the same cannot be said of the P4K... but at least it can be serviced locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more than the major players. Ain't you the guy who had two Fuji units to come back to the warehouse? FYI BMD has the best service available you can find out there.
