Sad to hear, but I hope that we'll have other guys.

I'ld be interested to know if there'll be less banding with the GH3. It remains the GH2's Achilles' heel IMO..

I'd be interested in doing reporting on Photokina. I've never been, is a circus like NAB? If so, there should be complementary tickets abound for Industry.

I'm about an hours drive away, and could stay with friends. Got my GH2 with reporting kit, Audio Technika wireless with lav, LED etc.

I speak German and (American) English like a native, so no Arnie accent. Quick turn-around wouldn't be a problem for some interviews and a bit of b-roll. It'd be nice if someone from the community could make a graphics package with Personal View Logo, Lower 3ds, maybe even a complete bed with with sfx to drop footage in. That would help with the speedy delivery.

@djhessler

What do you mean about intro?

We do not plan to use music, intros, etc. I really hate this logos before anything.

djhessler

@Vitaliy_Kiselev lol I was just trying to help, disregard then.

Vitaliy_Kiselev

@djhessler

No, big thanks for offering help.

We just do not plan to use intros.

I'm also going to attend the Photokina. My main interest are the Micro Four Thirds cameras, particularly the Panasonic products. I was planing to shoot some stills related to these topics, but I may try to do video as well.

Guys, be more active in adding your questions to wiki.

Jasketti

Just added few questions. Is it ok to add questions regarding lenses/optical accessory too?

disneytoy

I would suggest if there is any hands on with the GH-3, to go through the MENU to see what settings we are familiar with, and what are new.

Also, as a still shutter:

1) longest exposure in BULB.

2) Any changes to auto bracketing.

Is it ok to add questions regarding lenses/optical accessory too?

Yep, as you wish.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev

Lot's of good questions there now.

thepalalias

I added a lot of questions. Probably too many, but I bet the team can filter. :)

Vitaliy_Kiselev

@thepalalias

Considering questions amount.
I'll check that they won't forget long and strong rope to tie this guy, so he won't have chance to run.

matthere

@Vitaliy - very funny.

I would be interested to know if there are any options for unsqueezing the view on the LCD which might be helpful for framing when shooting through anamorphics, small chance I know, but worth a question, maybe :)

Vitaliy_Kiselev

@matthere

Just add to wiki.

Guys, please check our Focus Points - http://www.personal-view.com/photokina/questions/our-main-focus-points

May be we are missing something interesting, or just do not know about upcoming stuff.

http://www.photokina.com/en/photokina/diemesse/events_veranstaltungen/photokina_events/photokina_movie/index.php Overview with list of exhibitors for movie making with DSLR. Canon and Zeiss are main partners, any others you want reporting on? Sachtler, GlideCam etc.

http://www.photokina.com/en/photokina/ausstellersuche/veranstaltungen/veranstaltungen.php?fw_goto=veranstaltung&tab=1&datum=2012-09-19&thema=394 This is the list of events on the Wednesday that I am there. Any wishes for reporting? Note that our main Interview is at 1 pm, so we're busy there.

For the focus points, I would say codecs and clean-HDMI, if anybody appears to offer things in those area.

Make sure we hear something from Panasonic about AVC-Ultra since they already announced the spec. but nothing tangible yet.
Check in with other M43 lens companies (Voightlander, SLRMagic, etc.)
Any lens rated 1.7 or faster or wider than 10mm (not Fisheye).

I do not know which exhibitors are there, but I think looking for companies offering something beyond 8-bit 4:2:0 on the video side makes sense.

That's all I can think of at the moment, other than try to take in any 4K demonstrations you can. It may not be able to give much back to the site directly, but the community is richer the more direct exposure our members have to the topics being debated. And if you can the C500 film Man or Beast in particular and compare it to the 4K material from Sony and RED, it would be great to hear how similar are different they all are.

But like I said - I do not know who or what will be there. Plus I'm typing too much. :)

Howdy, Stranger!
