Why *can't* the BMPCC4k be used for photography?
One of the common features of a photography centered camera is a whole lot of very small photo sites. This helps in post when you need to blow the image up for production needs. Many good cinema cameras, like the Arri Alexa and the BMPCC4K, use very large photo sites that have less noise to achieve

Portable Camera that cuts well with BMPCC4k?
Ive seen the Panasonic GH4 or 5 footage match up nicely. A Used the GH4 is reasonably priced. The Gh5 has in body stabilisation, the GH4 not. Both have focus peaking very handy, and auto focus, not that i'm keen on auto focus. GH4 shoots at 24p in 4k and 1080, with 60p available in 1080 only. The GH

Stupid Question about Equipment + Shoutout to PMI team
Hi mate I’m a tv camera op working in documentaries, If they’ve got decent budget the fx3 is probably what they are using but honestly that would be absolutely overkill for what you are intending to do. Get a cheaper Sony A7S or even an old Panasonic lumix GH5s which would be perfectly fine for just

S1ii EF adapter any examples?
Yeah I came from canon before the GH4 and have stayed with Lumix since the GH4 (GH5s and now S1ii). Always with adapted EF lenses! My experience with the S1ii has been great professionaly (video's for clients) aswell as personally (photo's). The new firmware that dropped recently improved the AF and

Just released my first standup special 'Marie' on YouTube
This was with two DSLRs: a Lumix GH5s on me (with Nikkor 28mm 2.8 AI-S MF lens) and a Lumix FZ300 on her (with the lens it has already). Smartphones are great for taking video in a pinch, but I wouldn't use them for shooting a special proper (unless that was part of the hook/conceit). For budget DSL

A lumix s5 owner and want to get a GH5 or GH5s. Want to know anyone have some footage that they shoot for reels. Also Its kinda crazy gh5 has a usb type C!
A GH5 with f/2.8 lens would weigh roughly the same as the S5 with a kitlens. The main advantage of the GH5 would be: More zoom range for the same weight. The leica 12-60 give you the FF equivalent of 24-120 for similar weight as the S5 20-60. (Though shooting in APS-C mode on the S5 effectively exte

Seeking GH5 upgrade ideas for low-light concert productions
GH5s. No stabe if that's important. The GH6 is a beast of a camera. The major thing people complain about is the autofocus not being PDAF. But, compared to the GH5... it's amazing. People love the colors. There's also a streaking issue that every video I've ever seen the people admit they don't see

What camera is your go-to as of recent
I’m a low budget filmmaker, made my first two shorts on the LUMIX GH5S, recently upgraded to the GH7 with the Leica 10-25 1.7, absolute sledgehammer of a combo that has mostly killed my GAS

How far should I raise the ISO?
The get the best dynamic range with a wider color gamut and with true 10 bit 4:2:2 capture is from using the HLG mode. The other picture modes truncate the pixel bit depth somewhat and only capture within the older Rec 709 color space. It's a flaw in the GH5's design. Panasonic added HLG in a firmwa
