Canon removing 24p from new 4K mirrorless cameras - THE MEMES
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Well the EF 35mm F2.0 IS is the one I'm talking about. Maybe you thought I meant the old creaky EF 35mm F2 non-IS from the 80's? The EF 35mm F2.0 IS is one of my go-to Canon lenses no matter what camera. Adapts to so much. Fuji isn't in the full frame market, so would be hard to come up with something similar but their 23mm F2.0 WR is a lovely look, and the 23mm F1.4 has amazing performance, both of them attached to far more capable filmmaking cameras than what's offered by Canon. Sony have the very good 28mm F2.0 for cheap. Their Zeiss 35mm F1.4 is another story... not cheap, but damn it's got a 3D pop going on, and superb build. -
Panasonic S1H review / hands-on - a true 6K full frame cinema camera
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Well I was recording 6K RAW to one today on my Pocket 6K. UHS-II is pretty nippy. And with XQD / CFast it's pretty much a given... There is no need for an external brick, wobbly cable or 2.5" SSD in 2019. What the fuck they are doing bothering with sending RAW over HDMI when they have a high-speed USB C connector is beyond me.... Panasonic and Nikon seem to really want to sell a boat load of Atomos recorders for Jeromy! Good deal for him! But is it for us? Big bulky battery, expensive screen, dated media, dated connector and all this trouble for something which should already be internal. Anyway, what matters is if it's real RAW, how the image compares to 10bit 422 internal and whether the workflow holds up... Otherwise, may as well sell the Pocket 6K, get rid of the Z6, sell the Atomos Ninja V, and shoot with the S1H internal or an X-T30 if you are feeling more thrifty. -
Prove it then and have the sense not to buy it.

Panasonic S1H review / hands-on - a true 6K full frame cinema camera
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Unless Panasonic's Headquarters is all of a sudden Studio 111 in Hamburg then you're wrong. And although both places begin with an H, Hamburg is not Hawaii. It's a 2 hour train ride from Berlin where I am visiting my girlfriend. The original plan was to go to L.A which would have pissed you off even more. But I chose to spend time with my girlfriend instead. For me this was like visiting a camera shop, and I don't do that unless the camera is worth a visit. If those specs are disappointing in your world you must be an insufferable fucking brat. Disappointing compared to what? Did a RED 8K handout land on your doorstep or something? Did your $4k go towards a stolen Alexa off the back of a van? Some people have been reading EOSHD for longer than 5 minutes and actually realise how far I've gone out of my way to keep the PR influence over this blog as low as possible, and I'll point you to all those adverts I don't have.... Anywhere. No sponsors, no paid ads, no content paid for and no shoots 'embellished' with Hawaiian scenery or Canon topless models. But yeah, I'll take your word for it... The image is spectacular but the specs disappointing. The 5m dot EVF and 5 axis IBIS are top notch but the specs still disappointing. The tilting screen is a great evolution but still your disappointment overwhelms you. Maybe you are better off using that "real cinema camera instead", you know, the one with the "proper ergonomics", that shoots 6K full frame for $4000, with a built in ND, a 5 million dot EVF and IBIS. ? -
Canon CEO probably has a Nokia in one pocket and Blackberry in the other.

@Emanuel says it in the right way - editorial, not censorship! Got to keep the forum readable.

With a predecessor as shit as the EOS M6 and M5 were, it's not hard! ?

Add to the shortcomings: same sensor, same terrible rolling shutter, probably same poor pixel binned 120fps quality as well and Sony's lovely "colour" If A6600 is a flagship they should be embarrassed. 16-55 F2.8... Wow they finally got round to it. Shame it doesn't match the Samsung effort of 5 years ago though. That was F2.0-F2.8! Sony = new Canon.

So 2x2 binning from that 32MP sensor. I guess Canon didn't quite catch up to Samsung's 2014 tech after all. I thought the samples looked a bit ropey. At least they have Dual Pixel AF in 4K this time (forced to compete with A6600). These APS-C cams are a bit of a waste of time when there is so much else around. You may as well think of the EOS RP as an APS-C 4K cam and buy that for a bit more money The only APS-C cams worth buying right now are from Fuji. This pricing is an effing joke. You can get an EOS RP for that.

It's to stop people polluting the forum with clickbait, rubbish and zero rated rumours, with one-link posts that have no other purpose than to just draw my visitors out to some shitty rumours site. We are a better community than that.

Panasonic S1H review / hands-on - a true 6K full frame cinema camera

Yes, you can dial it down to 0 in V-LOG and it looks organic. Yes, it's there to lessen moire, rather than win the 48 megapixel chart test. -

Both Chinese Sony internet information war bots are reading from the same script today. Even the spelling is authentically human. -

Just make it internal and be done with it. -

Dual Gain output with twin analogue circuits on the sensor, bit like the GH5S. I think it is a different sensor to the S1. -

Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Maybe blog should go blank until Sony A7S III is out in 2022? No comparisons to actually existing cameras allowed! By the way ProRes RAW looks to be in development for the S1H although not got the official announcement text yet. -

4000 very clean, barely any noise at all. 12,800 is fine. Better than the A7S II 25,600 is ok. If all camera reviews had to wait for the A7S III, you would not be getting any reviews at all. -
Bullshit.

Nikon Z6 features 4K N-LOG, 10bit HDMI output and 120fps 1080p

Canon removing 24p from new 4K mirrorless cameras - THE MEMES
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Cliff was joking. Canon is also taking the piss! -
Something doesn't quite stack up there. On a camera like this, RAW-only isn't going to cut it. Remember that Alexa productions mostly shoot ProRes for the workflow and data size convenience factor, especially TV crews. Optional H.264? LOL give me a break. Fake rumour
-
APS-C is not high end when a $1300 full frame mirrorless cam exists that Canon would prefer you buy!
