shoot feature project on 16mm B&W vs video/simulated 16mm?

But I'm part of the target market! I'd totally buy one if it had these things. I can't be the only one here either. It would make a great little camera for rigging, gimbal, or drones.

You're in the spillover. I see this camera as a main sale to media college students. Or girls who want to Instagram REALLY nice pictures of their food. Or Dads who want to best the other dads on the block with the coolest home movie camera.

 

4k and high frame rates are much easier to explain to those consumers than highlight roll-off.

I suppose so. On the other hand, if professionals began buying them and using them for narrative work like the 5D Mk2 or A7S when they first came out, the cameras would sell themselves.

 

Why can't we have all the nice things, Macks? Eh? ;)

Panasonic doesn't believe in us artists of the screen.

 

So much so that they'll be single-handedly responsible for the next housing market crash, and they don't even trade in that industry.

BW stock is quite limited these days and film perforation service usually possible only on acetate. I would love to try 50ASA microfilms. Here is a friend footage from Scoopic I've sent to US:

 

 

I have another one waiting for good hands.
