Nothing better than fresh Media Division!

That opening was perfection

I love how you include actual filmmaking in the reviews instead of just giving us the raw numbers. You get a real feel of what can actually be done with it instead of just knowing its technical details.

Small addition: if you add a "0:00 opening" to your description, you'll get the chapters displayed in the videos timeline. Just finished watching, great content, just what I came to expect from you :-)

I had a lot of fun reviewing the BGH1 - this looks like the exact camera I've been waiting for. Great review!

Always great to see a new Media Division video, and seeing a 2001 spoof from you is definitely a treat.

I absolutely love these movie spoofs. They are so fun to watch!

I'm so addicted to media division, thanks so much for putting out such great content. This BS1H is going to go so well with my S1H.

Amazing showcase of the BS1H! Love your channel and can’t wait for your next upload!

Love you man, thank you for your detailed perspectives about our passions. Great content, as always, been here since your beginning.

I'll likely never get my hands on any of this gear but I still love watching these videos.

The use of TV screens to reflect the space ship interior was incredibly creative! I legit thought he built a mini set or sth.

I really hope you end up getting more review samples/sponsors. Your Short films interlaced with detailed information makes this channel very unique.

This is the greatest product reveal intro for a youtube video I have ever seen! Subscribed!

I found your Channel because of the Contax/Zeiss lens, that I also love and use... on my Fujifilm X-T3. Latter, your spoffs on Kubrick work, Katana Robot and specially the Blade Runner ones, made me recommend your KZfaq channel every time I have an opportunity! Awesome work!

loved the kubrick sequence. It had me thinking about building a cockpit to film in/out of/through. Having a BG1 or BS1H now would be great for over the should shot, especially in a limited space. You could even control it from a computer in front of you while you film.

Great review. And I've watched a ton of them this morning. We have a similar background, I started with a DVX100 as well and have owned many Pano's over the years. Subbed. Good stuff man.

I love what Panasonic is doing in the compact cinema space. Very intrigued by what they have in store for the close of 2021!

I love that you've done this video

That intro was awesome!! If Media Division are getting into new kit reviews the other tech youtubers better get worried...

One of my favourite channels. Absolutely BADASS. State of the badass art….

Your videos are very interesting, it is always a pleasure to watch them. I will study cinema in Mexico City and with this videos I already have a certain advantage over others!

I love the S1H, this looks like a perfect camera to rig!

That intro was the best thing I’ve seen in a long time

Thanks a lot for the quality content you put out👍🏻

I love how the form factor is very reminiscent of 545 and 6x6 MF systems like Hasselblad etc. With the battery and the grip it looks very much like a Bronica ETRSi with a speedgrip.

I Start with Panasonic as well , and there is a special place in my heart that i keep for Panasonic. Currently that type of camera is not for my work, but if i ever had to make a film this camera will be already shipping to my address , compact , ff, and if i imagine correctly excellent color science by Panasonic.

Loved the excellent review, though short. Thank you

The sound of the leader jacket is intense!!

Did you know that you can set your native Panasonic lenses to have a linear focus throw? Furthermore, you can choose in the menu have long that throw is. I have mine set to 270* linear, and it’s probably the nicest focus by wire experience I’ve had so far.

This is a pretty cool release from Panasonic, gives me a option down the line to pair with my S5

Here go Media Division overachieving again 🤣 love it man. I wish you were around for my childhood.

Yeaaa! Something new from Media Division

Great presentation. Very informative. Love the leather sound

Thanks, always appreciate your perspectives on the tools of the creative process, rather than straight 'gear reviews' which I never find helps me make any sort of decision! Plus I love the inspiration to create that I feel watching your channe... this camera is very appealing for its form factor, I'm a big fan of the box-stye format and have been considering the Z-cam S6 S35-sized sensor camera due to my Sigma Art S35 lenses which I love. I love the colour that comes out of the S1H sensor with VLog, and the dynamic range. I have a set of Nikon AI-S lenses as well as my Art lenses, so this is interesting - it would help to have more information on the phone app though... the control of this camera is really my main question (and a strength of Zcams).

Me 3 months ago: "should I get the BGH1 or the S1H?" Panasonic: "how about both at once?"

I love my BGH1 already. Will see if I want BS1H

Really enjoyed this :)

Loved the intro

Haha that space intro was very intense and funny at the same time 🤣👌 Grtz from the netherlands Johny geerts

Thank you Sir

Love your work :)

Thank you! Comment to support content!

Incredible intro!

There is something appealing about the box form factor for me.I don’t know why. And the footage by bernard is gorgeous

Again LIT content🔥🔥🔥

Well done Nik !

Excellent video, as always. I would really love to see a detailed comparison between "Bea" and a Z Cam E2 F6 as it seems to be its closest competitor (and they use the same Sony Semicon IMX410 sensor)

great video! the form factor is so much more appealing than the s1h. if it wasnt for the lack of IBIS it may have been my next camera.

Came just to drop a like/comment so the channel can keep on growing

Awesome & Thanks :)

Hmm, perfect fit for Mamiya 645 glass + booster on this bad boy.

But does it play Doom? ;-) As always.......amazing work guys. Your channel really deserves more attention.

Such a cute camera!

An unexpected Media Division video! Today is a good day. Little on the short side though Nikolas!

When I tested bs1h, I was very surprised that Panasonic didn't give the opportunity to shoot raw photos at least with an electronic shutter. I gave my preference to the Sigma Fp as I often shoot timelapses for motion pictures and commercial projects, but at the same time I needed a compact personal video camera with excellent video capabilities.

Respect. Period.

Now this is what you call a surprise...

cool content, keep making cool and educational content for us!!!!, you are better than my teacher

God I love this channel so much.

Great intro, appreciate the effort your put in. In terms of image quality, how is the BS1H compared to your Kinefinity Mavo？

Can you please try to see if the EVA grip triggers BS1H? Thanks

You're right what you said towards the end "it's more of an addition" to the bigger cams. Other than that...🤷🏾‍♂️

Love the video, as always! How would you compare this to the Panasonic S1?

with that eathernet jack if they start making it work stright into UE without capture card and allow the software to rack the lens... instant success for mixed virtual reality productions

Legendary opening. Just ridiculous stuff, Nik. However, I have to ask the obvious question: Media Division produced narrative feature, when?

Media Division IS THE BEST

like every time - I loved your übergeile intro films;-)!! go ahead

What an Intro :D

Wow I had no idea this existed, maybe this is a good option to run on my fpv aircraft!

my shortcummings with s1 are, when a hdmi is plugged in switching modes have a 5second delay. not sure if that is not present with this but thats a plus.

Usually I don't love gear reviews but with Media Division I know I'm going to enjoy the content anyways, always top-notch. Maybe this is slightly off-topic but... With this (often times marketing-driven) push for cameras with bigger and bigger sensors, will we see a change in the so called "standards" of cinematic image in a few years OR in your opinion the "good old" 35mm 4Perf Academy Standard and its use with anamorphic lenses will stick around for a while even though it seems nowaydays even pro-sumer grade cameras "need" to be al least FF to be considered somewhat "capable"?... By the way, the GH4 was actually my first camera and it was (still is imho) indeed a beast of a camera, so much that in my case my filmmaking skills are still below its full potential. 👏👏🎥🎞♥

great intro :)

I kind of wish that Sony had done the same with the FX3, just put the sensor of the A7SIII in a box. Which they’ve actually done before with the A7SII. It was a custom note industrial oriented stripped down box version of the cam, but not available for consumers. Now box cameras are more popular amongst indie film makers

I really want to try this camera out

Nothing compares to you Viedeos if it comes to relaxing my nerfs. Your are producing Viedeos in a Quality that puts good documentarys, like the ones ARTE makes, almost to shame. I hop you don't mind if I ask if there will be more Viedeos to come and if when. Best wishes from sunny Austria. Phillip Schimek

That jacket is a pain to my ears! But very excited to see this new BS1H :-D @5:20 why couldn't they have developed a positive lock mount? Like Sony has for E Mount for their cinema cameras. Or Z Cam has done for Micro Four Thirds. Unfortunate that the BS1H doesn’t have internal ND filters, is the one thing missing to tip me over to buying a BS1H/BGH1.

panasonic should hire you for making their ad

Finally!

making a logo out of cutters was bad ass.

Like to see how BS1H footage compares with EVA1.

Very interesting camera but having the S5 myself, id just invest in the ninja V.

If you compare this camera with the EVA1, I mean the codec compression, stabilisation, auto focus, etc. what is your opinion ? Thanks in advance .

When he said it's tiny I didn't think it would actually be that small. Like WTF, how is that possible? :D

Looks like a great camera but it's expensive. At that price range i might think spend a bit more for a Red komodo. I would really have to test it out see how i get attach to it.

Interesting camera, but I'm a little disappointed by the lack of internal ProRres/Raw recording, let's see if Blackmagic will soon release an S35 version of their Micro Camera

Boxy camera trend continues. It wouldve been nice if the BS1H comes with CFexpress card slots, and maybe internal RAW or Intra codecs at 4k. I thinks its a tough choice, given that an sony FX3 cost about the same and has slightly higher framerates.

How does it compare with the Sigma fp? Could you use them on the same production easily?

Fantastic. But be honest - the squeaky leather jacket was a nod to Loriot, wasn't it?

how does the BS1H perform outdoors? DPReview says it's "environmentally sealed," but Page 6 of the BS1H manual: "The camera is not dust resistant, splash resistant, or waterproof. Avoid using the camera in places with excessive dust or sand, or where water can come into contact with the camera. If sand, dust, or liquid gets on wipe it off with a dry soft cloth." Wolfcrow comparing to a7siii, said the fan noise on the s1h was loud, but can't find any comments about the fans on the BS1H being loud. Is the BS1H less loud than the loud fans of the atomos ninja V? Maybe I'm crazy, but I like the look of the oversampled 4k from 6k a bit more than sony fx3, maybe the sony's 12mp wider pixels give you less detail, but the best lowlight I'm looking to upgrade from my a7iii, and I slightly prefer the image out of the s1h and bs1h, though they're a little older and slightly less recording format options. I never take photos, mostly shoot indoors, small, slightly less-than well-lit spaces. I never use autofocus, never use IBIS, always shoot on a tripod, always use d-tap to external 98wh vmount, use atomos ninja V to pull focus, but then turn off the monitor to avoid the fan noise. Looking to do more long-form interviews and narrative filmmaking and learn 10bit color. Also was considering the Zcam e2 F6, though a lot of launch issues/buggy, and old format CFast cards/maybe less good for people like me, editing in prempro/pc. The image is amazing out of the Zcam e2 f6, though I think the S1H and BS1H aren't far off, both got sony sensors inside with the 5.9k rez, more or less. Seems the Zcam is more fully featured, but less reliable, and reliability is king w/ filmmaking. So it seems like the BS1H could work for me, but squeamish if I gotta take it outdoors, and no info on the fan noise. Internal 4:2:2 10bit recording onto dual sd cards is very nice, as is unlimited recording.

I wish Blackmagic do the same with BMPCC 6k pro. put that 6k sensor into a box shaped body with internal ND filters.

Can you tell more about colour space, like the rec2020

Panasonic didn’t send a body cap with it? You left out the network connected capabilities. This and BGH1 are great options for remote tethered work.

I wonder if they ever put out an EVA2....seems like decent evidence they will by reusing the battery.

Please comparison between panasonic BS1H vs ZCAM E2 M4

Since Leitz joined the L mount alliance themselves, we can expect the high end cine lenses to come to L mount. This also hints to a real cine camera with L mount coming soonish. Maybe a new Varicam?

i really hope black magic finally adopts this body style too

I'm considering this camera or the S1H. HOWEVER... I'm a Konica AR lens user. And ther is still no adapter, except for an unobtanium Fotasy. 😕

I do not like your content, I love it!

waiting for the 3rd episode
