EVA1: Panasonic AU-EVA1! Announcement and latest updates

[Sttratos]

Her name was Eve...

Eva and Eve is the same name. Depending on the language.

 

[Sttratos]

Eva is the Latin spelling.

But not only the Latin languages use it. In German it's also Eva.

 

[Networker]

Her name was Eve...

Depends... In the Bible of my childhood, it was and is Eva.

And now I'm sure somebody with knowledge of ancient languages will correct both of us

What started out to be a slightly facetious rib to spoil that picture actually taught me a lesson! ha

I never heard 'Adam and Eva' (when referring to those two) anywhere in the world, but I do not doubt it exists.

I tried to find the word 'Eva' in the Wikipedia breakdown, but it didn't exist:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_and_Eve

Then I found a translations chart:

In italian language we say "Adamo e Eva", "Eva" is used also in latin language.

 

[Jaime Valles]

In italian language we say "Adamo e Eva", "Eva" is used also in latin language.

And in Spanish.

 

[Jason R. Johnston]

And to throw this out there: Adam is from the Hebrew word for soil, 'adama'. Makes sense; Adama and Eva.

 

[Paul F]

I wonder what features Panasonic's Adam will have?

 

[NorBro]

So far 'ADAMO1' is shipping with a MFT mount...that's all we know. :banned:

 

[DLD]

I wonder what features Panasonic's Adam will have?

When you turn it on, it will play a few bars from, "Don't cry for me, Argentina".

 

[Mitch Gross]

When first powering up, the Panasonic Adama will say
"There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe, with tribes of humans who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans. That they may have been the architects of the Great Pyramids, or the lost civilizations of Lemuria, or Atlantis. Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man, who even now fight to survive somewhere beyond the heavens."

Also, the Adama will ship with Baltar lenses.

This is the point on Facebook where it's usually labelled "Only 70s kids will remember."

In other news, the long-running (almost 5 years) Sony F35 thread is up to 3018 posts. We've gotta kep this thread chugging along people!

I'ma gonna toss y'all out a free one:

If you look at te photos of the camera you can see on the top handle some spare mount points on the back for the LCD. The mount uses a standard 1/4"x20 socket with a ring of detents to keept the mount bracket from rotating. There are four points for this mounting: one on each side of the handle, in the front and in the back. The microphone holder uses the same mounting. So the LCD and/or the mike bracket can be attached at the front or rear of the camera. They can also flip sides. If the top handle is removed completely, both can be mounted directly to the top of the camera body to keep the rig small.


Discuss.

Which one of the Varicam's ribs were used to create Eva?

Or that newerish series where Starbuck is a woman.

Bahahaha!

I'm all about that one.

 

[Matt Gottshalk]

That clicking sound is the Eva's red eye scanning back and forth when you tilt the camera.

 

[Run&Gun]

Now that's funny.

But wasn't it one of the 35's ribs that was used to create the LT?

Thoughtful design like this is what sets cameras apart. It's more than spec sheets. It's obsessive, detailed, small things that show the creators are either users, or get the users, and make a big difference to the overall tool. Hard to quantify, yet immensely easy to qualify after a week of working with a camera.

 

[optitek]

AS detailed and obsessive as it is they missed one small design part- a neutral mount for different lenses ;-)
