GH5 How interested are you in a GH6 anymore?

If they can do 8K 120, then they should be able to do 16K 30. Or, at least, 24.
All they need is a 140 megapixel sensor.

I would not be surprised if we did not see the A7IV or the GH6 this year due to the chip shortage. It seems to be a huge mess without a clear end in sight. But, I could be wrong. Maybe we will just get announcements with 2022 availability.

Wouldn't a better solution be to phase out or ramp down older products to make up for the chip shortages and get a new product out there?
That's what I've been saying ... unless the chips are different generation and the wiring/motherboards aren't compatible with older models.
A note from Panasonic, published on Weibo of all places. They're saying that they're not selling Lumix (of course, it's basically worthless to a third party) and are planning "exciting models" both in FF and in MFT. In the FF area, I'd like to ask their execs if those are mostly rebadged and repackaged Sony models, with shared R&D along the way.

Aside from the FX9, what other current/recent cinema camera is eng shaped these days? Even Canon has gone the way of the Borg. When will BM accept that resistance is....ok, enough, especially after all my self-righteous ranting about staying on topic in the "what do we want from this site" thread.

I would expect the newer cameras to be using new, faster chips. Just spitballing but it is perfect cloud cover to delay a release.

Apparently, Panasonic isn't quite dead and buried yet.
It's releasing a box-style L-mount 6K camera. 24 MPX sensor but dual gain, which the old S1 did not have. Up to ten units can be tethered together, making it more of a broadcasting camera.
Price isn't known yet.

Oh, sh!t, DVXU is still blocking the Nokishita name. Replace the * for the link to work or head over to the Mirrorlless Rumors site.

This guy says the 27th and maybe Lumix will be sold off? https://youtu.be/IcrvSp3zeBQ

Not everyone writes reviews (or shops there), but in general there is a small percentage of people in the world who are interested in cameras without Canon's or Sony's AF. And then there's Hollywood who use other non-AFing cameras.
Which leaves Panasonic dangling right now...

I have never written a review on any camera I have bought. That's since early 1960's starting with film cameras. Mostly shoot in the theatre or indoors. Never use continuous auto focus, full auto exposure or image stabilizers since the cameras are always on tripods. Not everyone has the same needs for cameras. When I am outside, family shoots or holidays I use a camcorder ( AX53 or AX100 ) then I am mostly full auto !! I have no expectation that one camera can meet all needs. Silly idea.
Ouch. On B&H's Mirrorless "best sellers", there are three non Sony, non Canon models - Nikon Z6II, Nikon Z fc and Fuji X-S10 - in Top 25/First page. Granted, B&H isn't everything but it's fairly representative of the serious buyers.
#1 with the bullet is R3. At $6,000. I think I'd be the first to cancel NorBro's preorder.

Yes I know that and I don't leave reviews either, but people do, but still 5 reviews is it since it came out seems kind of low.

lol, that's funny...such a waste of money, IMO.
I've had this convo many times on here over the years because people aren't that tech savvy when it comes to navigating front-end development, but currently the top 3 best sellers in B&H's "Mirrorless Cameras" sections are all Canons. (a7SIII isn't part of this group and is located with the cinema cameras.)
You have to make sure you're in the "Mirrorless Cameras" section and you've refreshed the "Best Sellers" list. IF you're not and you're in some sub-category or you've landed on the page from a search engine, the results will vary depending on your location and/or other circumstances.
