They should have made this into a slate. One side slate and one side color matching.

The GH5s was because some shows that needed non-IBIS cameras, etc. But the whole idea of a small video system is to run and gun it. For that purpose IBIS is huge.

WOW...Fuji killed it with this one.

However, the video shooters will be predicting an X-H2 that will have all these and maybe even an improved IBIS. Which could become the camera for choice to...

Nikon, at least by these first impression reviews seem to hit most of my checkboxes. But you're right. I'm sure the next generation Z7ii, etc will remove some of the kinks and will even be better....

It's too bad I already bought by A7Riii as a nikon shooter this would have been a no-brainer. Only if it was out just a few months earlier.

DPreview TV first impression of IBIS for video was very...

10bit 4:2:2! With Nikon colors?
This will become the video camera choice of many indie movie makers.
The IBIS should be superior to Sony because of the larger mount. So the super 35 video of Nikon...

it might be functional, but it looks a bit ridiculous.

Only open to some European residence

If the AF is like Sony A7III or close to it, it'll make a great pocket camera. I only wish the 4K was 24P. Still looks like a great contender.

Brilliant product positioning and differentiation.

Nikon understands in this segment you have to offer something exceptional that rekindles buyers' imagination.

Yes, many camera pros may not...

No mention of weather sealing? and $12000? This is still not a pro tool, even at pro prices.

If you're already a professional, you probably already using Nikon/Canon. This offering is nice, but...

I think on the AI software stuff, military is not ahead of SV. Yes, our military has remote flying drones, with GPS, etc.
But this level of AI inside something like this is very new....

The battery technology is not an issue. Once you go bigger you have options like hydrogen fuel cells, etc. Also a drone does not need to be a multi-rotter machine. It could just be...

Silicon Valley is making the technology that will ultimately be used for evil and would make military and police state around the world more powerful.
This is all cool, but I know Pentagon...

DJI has been saying that for a few weeks now.
That said,
DJI did not say they will not release a Phantom 5 with interchangeable lenses.
They're saying these photos are not the next Phantom5....

I think maybe because it's targeted to consumers?
If these are not equivalent, then the 15mm is the widest lens, which puts the widest lens at about 40mm fov which makes no sense, either. That's...

50mm equivalent lens option is nice...but that's only 2X the Phantom.
We need more like 75mm or better 90mm FOV equivalent to make this awesome.

The 15mm would be useless, unless there is a...

Who is behind this company? There is no name of the founder, CEO. Which country they're operating from or anything. Why would DPreview give these people such a platform without doing some basic...

When you start introducing lower priced models, you will sell more but your profits will drop. This is the reality of the hardware business. With all the lower priced GoPro units, they're going to...
