How does this work then? I thought stacked = DRAM mounted on back of sensor.

Did you find the same with the internal 10bit F-LOG or not tried? I dislike external recorders so I will only be using the internal 10bit 4K.

Yes that's where I saw it. Maybe it is just a comparison of sensor size and not trying to imply the GFX 100 records DCI 4K in full frame and super 35mm crop modes. Maybe as @androidlad says the FF mode is only for 60MP stills. Firmware update request going into Fuji if true.

I still don't shoot much video on a smartphone. I don't know why but it's almost 100% a stills cam for me, and a very good one too. I find it very clever though how we are now able to get clean video off a 100MP chip or a 40MP. The sampling has got a lot more intelligent since the days of line skipping. Pixel mix / binning is now not so much the sin it once was, and with Quad Bayer it is actually turning into a nicely oversampled positive with big chunky pixels. Stills Mi 10 is 25MP output from the 108MP sensor. Mate 30 Pro is 10MP from 40MP... You can have it output the full 40MP RAW DNG. Is that possible with the Xiaomi? Comparison shots from DXOMark below only show the Mate 30 Pro in 10MP mode. However it is a very good 10MP mode that looks more like a normal camera at around 16MP. The Mi 10 25MP looks a bit lower when you pixel peep it - maybe 18MP. So the difference is there but not as massive as 40MP vs 108MP suggests at 1:1. I scaled the Mate 30 Pro up to 25MP and did a 1:1 crop compared to same crop on the Mi 10... Mate 30 Pro Mi 10 Pro The plants behind them look a bit more natural on the Mi 10 Pro but the difference in clothing texture shows actually an advantage to the Mate 30 Pro, weirdly. So either it is a soft glowing lens on there, or too much noise reduction?! Or just a bit off on the focus? As for the RAW... I find the JPEGs are often cleaner and more detailed with better dynamic range on smartphones, due to the composite, multi-shot, multi-lens, neural network upscaling, etc. nature of the beasts. But the RAWs do give you some low-fi natural look back and more fine grained noise, less sharpening and less NR. Raw sensor data at 1:1 from 108MP with 0.8 pixel pitch is always going to be quite noisy and soft... Although big leaps have happened in last few years! Can you edit such a large file on the phone? I can with the P30 Pro and Mate 30 Pro at 40MP but 108MP would be majorly pushing it! The big key to all this is the multiple sensors and lenses, composite images and computational imaging. The cameras should be seen as a system of cameras rather than one.

Can you point me to the data sheet for the GFX 100 sensor? I seem to have lost it. Cheers

Sure I read it somewhere but can't find it now. Might have to just crop in post!

In Fuji's material it says there is DCI 4K video in Full Frame (35mm) mode. I will test it out tomorrow and see what crop modes it actually does. Yes it does 4K without a crop in medium format mode.

Coronavirus isn't classed as a global pandemic yet. As the chart shows, it isn't killing proportionally more young people with a strong immune system like you suggested earlier. They are almost all 60+ You see this is what's great about watching the BBC (even in its current Tory government crippled form) you can come to the internet armed with the facts and not some bullshit. So you run out of high-spec DRAM and it has no affect on high-end cameras, how did you work that one out? No DRAM = no camera! A7 series is not small volume, they make tens of thousands a month! In addition each camera is a big memory hog - LSI, buffer, even stacked sensor, and it is fast stuff too. This is exactly what Sony is trying to mitigate. Cutting DRAM use across all ranges of devices, to keep the PS5 BOM cost down. Expensive wine comes in more expensive glass?! 🤨 🤨 🤨 🤨 🤨 🤨 🤨 🤨 🤨 Low margin product or low cost? Big difference. It's quite possible the A7S III is a low margin product and they are cutting down on the larger buffer, or stacked sensor DRAM, or some form of 4K/120fps that makes possible, instead sticking with 4K/60p and keeping the PS5 BOM under $450... And I bet it is not just one product they are making sure doesn't divert vast quantities of short supply DRAM away from the PS5. Probably the same decisions are being made in Sony's smartphone division.

Quite extreme conspiracy theories mate!! I think in the aftermath, China's government wished it away for 1 month and tried to get the doctors to shut up, and then the government really started to shit themselves once they realised the virus was a novel infection and incredibly dangerous. Of course they are trying hard to contain it, and other governments are as well. If they wanted to create some evil virus to destroy other countries, they'd make a vaccine first and give everyone in China immunity, keep the vaccine to themselves and let the virus loose, no need to kill 2% of the population with the flu. I am not sure why some of the world's citizens have this view of China as an evil non-people, when they are people just like you and I, working within a system and (mostly) doing their best. The Chinese government is immensely powerful and has flaws, no doubt, but it isn't set on wiping out the planet with a lab-made disease.

Cheaper and a lot more fun, alas we don't get to choose what our passions are in life, they choose us, apparently!

Panasonic loaned me the S1H so that was free! Unlike the Fuji! The S1H is going on a trip as well, so we will be seeing more of that The GFX 100 don't forget has a DCI 4K full frame crop mode from 60 megapixel sensor window. So if you love a particular full frame lens, put it on there... I am interested to see how the 4K stands up in full frame mode, quality wise against the S1H and @BTM_Pix's Pocket 6K. In this respect it is Fuji's first 4K full frame camera There is also a Super 35mm crop mode for people who buy a medium format camera, but want to slap an Arriflex lens on the front. Yes, I am one of those idiots.

It really is a nice image if you find the light and yes global shutter works well, but I'd consider the BM Prod 4K if I were you, it is probably $600 used now. The original URSA is just massive. Yes DR and highlight roll off not the best so take that into account, but it can have a lovely film like silky smooth look too, with great colour science. By the way whilst we're on the subject of old but good cameras... Why aren't you all over the 1D C yet?! BMPC4K 3840 x 2160 frame grab:

The OnePlus 7T is decent but image processor not on par with Mate 30 Pro. The oversampled 10MP from the Huawei are HUGELY detailed and clean, with natural textures, whereas the 108MP images on the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro are a bit smeery and it has a soft lens, although end results still very good for a smartphone, they are really not 108MP worth of detail. I just think the Mate 30 Pro has the edge on processing and trickery. It really is quite amazing. DXOMark are a fun read, but results should be taken with a pinch of salt because for one thing they don't test RAW and for another they don't tell us the camera settings or picture profiles used for each shot! Still you get an idea though, it's a very helpful French resource

Panasonic S1H already doing 6K so not a huge leap to 16:9 tv standard "8K" which is actually 7.6K resolution horizontal. 5.5K 60p is about the same datarate too and that is here in 1D X III Smartphones may soon have 8K in very small, thin fanless encasings, with tiny thin copper heatsinks So yes it is very doable in 2020, but will it be any use or any good, or just a marketing label? We'll soon find out

To reflect reality the site name would have to change every month!

Don't make a gofundme for me, I'll just spend it on more cameras!

X-H2 anyone? With the X-T4 confirmed to be staying at 4K, a big 8K door swings opens for a higher spec hybrid camera from Fujifilm. https://www.eoshd.com/news/is-this-the-fuji-x-h2-sensor-with-12bit-8k/

I have the Techart one! As the camera will be as fresh as the UK chancellor, I probably won't know how to use it... just as he doesn't know how to use the economy. But unlike with my Blackmagic P6K if there are any problems I am sure I can just ask Fuji and we may in return have some suggestions for them... At least I don't expect Fuji's marketing man shouting at me afterwards saying I have brought the wrong tool to the job! I am quite the Fuji fanboy now in fact As loyal as a puppy, and super biased.

The original URSA with the flip out television screen on the side? Or the later one That 4K sensor was in the Production Camera and it is ISO 400 max. Yes it is a nice image if you keep the ISO very low and don't raise the shadows in post (a lot of fixed pattern noise) But the form factor... Awful.

Yes to Barcelona with its recent crime spree off we go... better disguise it as a Hasselblad Luna or something, nobody would want to nick that Bring your bluetooth hacks for Fuji

A good deal on an open box one came up so I snaffled it. Before I am officially bankrupt and have to sell EOSHD to Cinema5D, at least I get to shoot some medium format 4K Here is the plan... I got a bit frustrated waiting for the X-H2, with the will-it-won't-it exist situation. I have the X-T3, X-Pro 3, X-H1, X-Pro 2, all really are too similar. Why do I have 4? I don't know. I am an addict and need help. I'll sell all those and GFX 50S, which depreciated in price like a bastard. Going to sell it for about £2800, which at least goes toward funding the GFX 100. It's a terrible time to buy a new camera. So much on the horizon. But it's all full frame or APS-C. Yes the EOS R5, 1D X III, X-H2 if we ever see one, A7S III will be on my radar and will definitely shoot with them and review them on EOSHD... But they're not medium format! Do I need another similar camera to the ones I already have? Or sell em all and get something truly special... The look is different on the GFX 100 and it is a unique in the world one of a kind camera in 2020. Ok, the amazing 4K image may trickle down to a lower priced 50R II or something like that... But before that happens I will make sure I get out quick because I do not want to end up with a GFX 100 that is worth £3k on eBay. Until then, I'll enjoy the wonder that is the GFX 100 and wait to see if the EOS R5 is all its cracked up to be. Will the 8K be any good? Will it shoot 10bit? Will it have RAW? Or are we in for a disappointment? The GFX 100 is certainty of high-end video features and 10bit with superb Fuji colours, and it's here right now. Fast apertures and full frame lenses on medium format are a real pleasure too... I love the look and it's never been seen before a mirrorless medium format camera arrived. Those swirly edges remained a mystery. And yes... I need help!

It's a productive addiction unlike drugs!

Would rather have no 6K on the X-T4 than no X-H2. I'm not so disappointed as long as the X-H2 is coming this year. Fuji would be stupid not to. X-T4 is still a very good camera and a good upgrade to the X-T3 which didn't come out so long ago. One of the best cameras under $2k.

I can see a digital bolex style body which you slot your phone into. Shame the smartphone lenses are still quite clinical. C-mount mod anyone?
