    Hey i mean, it's only the new industry standard for low budget, mid budget and some big budget production companied, rental companied, studio... That's not for nothing. It's a fantastic tool. The camera just works and do whzt you expect to do. Autonomy is great, ergonomic, autofocus works, sensitivity is permissive, it's stabilized, it's cheap (yes, for prefossionnals it's a cheap camera) Don't realy understand what's the problem here. It's "overhyped"? "overrated"? It's not, the camera has proven to be the besy tool for the job in many applications and for a reasonable price.

    I Love you, I have to say it. I love you Matthew. I'm a french film director and I feel you deeply, just filmed a video about the same topic 2 days ago to prove young filmmakers they don't need these new cameras promoted every 2 months on UA-cam to make their films because it's really killing them. In the video I show them a short film I've made with the lumix g80 (can have it for less that 600€ body + lens if you buy it second-hand) and apple's headphones plugged to our iPhones to record the sound (the film is there 1min 30s and it looks AND sounds good : ua-cam.com/video/l4BYjA8sgFw/v-deo.htmlsi=HBcShO1CWsORZwV7) So thank you dear Matthew Chung for sending this message, I can send you nothing but LOVE from France brother. Thank you for inspiring people to just create what they like to create whatever they have. I'm so relieved to have found your video ahaha take care of yourself brother 🫂
