  1. I think it's just that Sony decided to play the waiting game... but a waiting game with Canon ends up taking forfucking ever. Canon are the slowest company on Earth. The staff are all 9-5pm and spend 80% of that time trying to understand the Japanese management. When the EOS R5/R6 is announced I am sure as hell Sony will pull the trigger. In the meantime they are quite happy selling FX9 and A7 III
  2. Sony: Please buy the FX9 instead And we'll bundle a free copy of Half Life 3 (by redemption only in 2035) Also FX9 now comes with Sony Club voucher. For just £500 per month, you get free camera upgrades for life* (firmware upgrades only). * May be shortened due to coronavirus
  3. Sony is the new Canon, it's going to be a complete 360 degree shift in the cartel!
  4. Maybe a chance for Canon to get back on top with the EOS R5 or R6? 10bit internal, raw internal, Canon colours, and that ND filter wheel = why bother with A7S?
  5. I don't think many white men feel the so called privilege. Which is why we end up with protest votes at election time. The whole political correct thing doesn't connect with ordinary people. Politics is obsessed with skin colour, not the gaffer on a film set who just happens to be born in a country where white people are a majority. Why should he feel ashamed just for being part of an industry? I don't think anybody who works in the film industry should be shamed into believing they are part of an institutionally racist conspiracy. Some of the most incredible countries in the world are monocultural. Japan is about as close to a monocultural society as it gets and where is no shame in it. In fact Japan is arguably all the more unique and special for it. Are we suggesting Japan should now be reduced to 40% to 50% native Japanese people, in order to represent a greater number of skin colours and cultures? No. Discrimination against majorities is as wrong as discrimination against minorities. This constant shaming of talented hard working creative people for being white males has gotta stop.
  6. It's beginning to be a bit self defeating in my humble view.
  7. Joaquin P in full on weird mode. Does he really have to insinuate that most of the audience are racist? Just accept the award, be thankful and fuck off.
  8. You have Tony Northrump on your Youtube timeline... My condolences. If it were Sony rumours he'd be going bananas believe me. Biggest hype monger on there.
  9. It's a photoshopped Sony A9 😂 Amazing how much better it looks with a Canon logo and EOS on the side isn't it I do like Sony's basic shape viewed from the front. It is the back where the controls and menus are where it all falls down! 😀
  10. Post and talk about what you find. Sometimes you can get a real deal, especially on the c-mount stuff under £500. The Cooke look for me beats everything else. Everything.
  11. https://www.eoshd.com/news/fujifilm-hint-at-44x33-large-format-gfx-h100-filmmakers-camera-open-gate-4k3k/
  12. Definitely a good idea to hold off on purchasing the 1D X Mark III even if you badly want one... As that camera in mirrorless form will be much better ergonomically for video. Given the choice between 8K on the EOS R6 and 4K or 5.5K on the EOS R5, I'd likely take the R5. I am also really glad about the rumours of a return to the click wheel on the back, and stills/movie mode switch instead of the touch bar, which was a bit wank. Panasonic S1, S1H and Leica SL2 do it internally so technology is with us already... Leica SL2 in quite a small body.
  13. It is likely 4K/60p won't be oversampled from 8K. The sensor likely won't go past 30fps in that highest resolution mode, and even then, rolling shutter in 8K might be an issue. 4K/60p will either be a crop mode, or pixel binned like the S1R / SL2. 4K/24p on the other hand may well be oversampled from the full frame 8K image.
  14. 5000x crop in all modes including stills.
  15. Suddenly this rumour makes a lot more sense.
  16. I wouldn't get too excited in a Canon Rumors article. First they said it would be an 83 megapixel EOS R, and showed Canon had a patent for an 83 megapixel sensor https://www.canonrumors.com/more-about-the-upcoming-high-megapixel-eos-r-system-camera/ Then they said it would be a 75 megapixel camera, with a continuous shooting rate as slow as the original EOS R https://www.canonrumors.com/rumoured-canon-eos-rs-specifications-cr1/ Now they are saying 45 megapixel sensor and another model, basically an 1D X Mark III in an EOS R body. And in between linking to as many shops as possible through as many affiliate links as possible, CR said in 2019: "We’re told that there are two bodies planned that will be marketed as “professional” bodies when they hit the market in 2020. However, neither one of them will be considered equals or a replacement for the EOS-1D series of DSLRs. We’re going to see an EOS-1D X Mark III next year and that will be the flagship camera from Canon through 2020." Pure bullshit. Or dramatic policy shift at Canon. You decide.
  17. The sensor itself is a computer chip. Larger die size = more heat.
  18. 3840 x 2160 x 120 = also 995328000 In theory the rate of data coming off the sensor per second, is similar in 8K 30p and 4K 120p to 5.5K at 60p. However, it would need the 45 megapixel sensor to have the same readout speed as one with half the resolution, bucking all the trends we've ever seen. In a smaller body with IBIS (harder to cool the sensor) At a cheaper price. And this is Canon we're talking about. The rumour seems wild. I don't think it'll hold up. If it does then there has been a massive policy and technological shift within Canon to allow it.
  19. Only in ProRes RAW or via HDMI in N-LOG? Does it ever happen to internal recordings in Flat or EOSHD Z-LOG?
  20. It has a good character to the image at ISO 6400 especially in 10bit, with a fine organic noise style, perfectly usable. At ISO 12,800 above it is quite a noisy camera compared to the super clean S1H, Z6, A7 III, and A7S cameras of this world. ISO 12,800 continues to be a rarity for me, I usually don't need to go higher than 6400. What did C5d show?
  21. Anybody got any city scenes and low light material? Throw it our way. I am curious to see how current cameras compare especially X-T3 F-LOG, Panasonic S1H and Nikon Z6 raw.
  22. Thank you, that proves it for 10bit (C-LOG) Now I think what is happening with the RAW mode is those claiming no AF had it in 60p. Still would like to see proof of it working in 24p, 25p, 30p though. Meanwhile, I am enjoying my 8K full frame sensor readout on the Leica SL2
  23. Thanks dude. I am curious as to Arri's obsession with cows and bunnies? https://arriwebgate.com/directlink/b043cddb9c4658e0
