Still the logic doesn't add up. "Oh dear, I shoot corporate video for a living and can't afford the extra $400 for an X-T3" Yes all those poor C100 A and B cam owners, who can ONLY stretch to the X-T30 and Ninja. Not! Not very, if it overheats with the Ninja. Digital Bolex D16, a $3500 camera. Nice. Are you still definitely sure you want to save that $400 for the X-T30 over X-T3 and have it overheat on a work shoot? I can agree with you on that one! Quite a bit of difference. Sometimes the X-T30 codec has some posterisation in the shadows when X-T3... and oddly the old X-E3... does not. Still a very decent codec though for 8bit. Can definitely recommend the fuji 23mm F2... if you can afford it with all those D16s you've bought ?

I win! https://uk.webuy.com/product-detail/?id=sdigpandcgx800bob&categoryName=cameras-compact-system&superCatName=electronics&title=panasonic-lumix-dc-gx800-(body-only)-b 4K for £135 But this got me thinking as well... What if we have a fun "EOSHD Challenge" where we all trawl the bargain bins in our local towns and online, pick something for super cheap, could be $50, $100, no more than $150 or $200... Make a video with it. Then the winner is judged in a poll - on artistic merit, and technical image quality (can be 1080p of course) The winner, wins the camera of the last place guy ? Plus a special bonus camera from EOSHD. What do you think? Worth setting up a challenge like this?

Something about this logic doesn't add up. The reason you get an X-T30 instead of an X-T3 is for the smaller size and lower price. So wouldn't it make more sense to add a LARGE and EXPENSIVE external recorder to the X-T3 instead? Doesn't seem to stop Gerald doing a dump on it though, even though he's yet another YouTuber with more money than common sense. Of course the smaller body size limits it thermally, it's very powerful hardware cramped into a smaller space so that's to be expected. It's got the 4K recording time limits for a reason. In other news... https://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/software/firmware/x/xt30/index.html They fixed the Q button. None of the Fuji hipster designers used the camera after drawing it with their Apple pencils. Good job real engineers exist to save the day!

How naive can some people get? Max is on a PR mission, he's not here to actually contribute to a forum. The PR mission is only necessary as he's been outed faking a shot to make Fuji look greener than Kermit The Frog. If it wasn't for that, he wouldn't be here. Max exists for clicks and to make money, and if he can use the research and knowledge of other people for free to further his content along the way then he's all the richer for it.

Hollywood in the loosest sense of the word. It's a fucking talk show

It really depends on what you're shooting. Quite often you can get away with 30ms, even for handheld shooting. The A6400 didn't set my pants on fire not so much as it failed to fix the weak rolling shutter performance of that line-up, rather as it's basically a retrograde step from the A6500 for not much less money and the lack of creativity that went into the design of that camera range is quite something. I even prefer the handling and styling of the NEX 7 from years back. Much sexier. If we were to grade cameras only by rolling shutter, NX1 would have been back of the pack as well but as we know, it's a wonderful creative tool and very well liked. Taken as a whole package I think Fuji GFX 100 is definitely a good option for cinematic amazing images (I hesitate to say "work" as there are much more boring and practical options for pro video work)... And cinematic is all I care about here

Of course you will be crediting Kye and the EOSHD Forum with where you first heard about these videos and grading techniques if you end up mentioning them on your channel, won't you

Try it. That is all

I have all 3. The Fringer has the fastest AF. In stills mode that is. The Kipon is an excellent speed booster, but the AF is not currently up there with the Fringer. Viltrox is cheap, but AF ranks third. None are really usable in video mode for autofocus, they don't track well or do AF-C quickly. AF-S is fine.

Wow that is a big image. Amazing it even achieves 30ms scan rate with such a hefty frame. That would be in a raw buffer inside the camera as well. Imagine a hack?!!

The 1D C frame also shows the strength of Canon's colour science though... Although I think Fuji is pretty good as well.

Here's another good example of why it's worth chasing the film look with your choice of video gear... Top shot is Canon 1D C, which ultimately thrashes the 6D Mark II Below is the Samsung NX1, which looks a lot more digital Then again, NX1 can be fixed, graded, hacked, to look amazing. With a 6D Mark II, you are relying much more on the lighting, subjects, lenses, etc. All important, but it HAS to have remarkable material in front of it to look cinematic, whereas with a great camera you can make the ordinary look cinematic, and the good material even better.

Indeed, it's early days yet, innit. I don't have any real conclusion from watching the sample footage released so far, which mostly looks fine. Pixel binning is in action for video on this camera which usually results in better rolling shutter than a full pixel readout. The total sensor resolution is almost irrelevant if it is only pixel binning what it needs for a 3840 x 2160 frame, but it might be doing clever stuff and averaging, summing or what have you... which would require sampling more of the total 100 megapixel sensor than more basic binning methods. Still a lot faster than reading out every pixel though like it does in e-shutter mode for 100MP stills. Maybe there is a spec sheet for the Sony sensor somewhere which would tell us the clock-speed, readout speed, etc. @androidlad? If RS make it unsuitable for certain types of work, to write it off for video altogether would be a bit churlish because of that, as it's a medium format 4K camera and what alternatives are there? We can put the Kipon "BavEyes" on a Nikon Z6 and get the medium format look from 6x7 and Pentax 645 lenses, but you can't put a full frame lens on an oversized sensor and see further into the glorious edges and swirly bokeh. Full frame glass on the GFX 100 will be unique, as it is for the 50S. Even if rolling shutter is as bad as an A6400, once prices come down on used market to around £5k this GFX 100 would replace an awful lot of my stills and video gear for image quality and lens rendering. Until then, Fuji is doing a great job giving us 4K bargains... X-T3, X-T30, X-E3, X-Pro 2, the list goes on! Glorious stuff.

You can probably sell the lens for 500 which makes the Z6 itself just 1669!

6D Mark II is not cinema for me. There is a 1080p frame grab, look at it full screen and it screams digital. Lack of dynamic range, mushy codec, in many ways a step back from even the old 6D. Terrible detail that doesn't pop. Now compare to an X-T3 frame I pulled from Vimeo... World of difference. Details pops, three dimensionally, film like dynamic range and colour. Even if you don't care about 4K delivery, it's a world of difference between a shitty Canon DSLR and a top of the range 2019 mirrorless camera.

Buffer was big enough to make this on the E-M1 II. Not tried the same thing on the E-M1X yet. Maybe buffer is the same, or larger. I'll find out soon enough.

Oh man, Fuji is doing 4K video from a 100MP sensor. Canon is doing a cropped readout from a 30MP sensor. There are no excuses for high rolling shutter on the EOS R. Also, the video above @DBounce is an utterly useless waste of 10 minutes with the camera and proves nothing. I can't find the rolling shutter test in it, maybe you can suggest the timestamp to save us having to watch the hole 10 minutes of badly shot focus pulsing.

Techart are saying yes. AF-C and video mode, even eye-af.

It's an incredibly fast camera. 60fps raw. Huge buffer. Amazing ergonomics and build quality. It's a little tank, a mini 1D X Mark II for half the price. I've had creative shot after shot with it!

Fuck, this camera is a glorious failure. It only hurts for me and other early adopters. The rest of you are going to get a bargain!!

Indeed it is still available, enjoy!!

Depends what for. If these photos from my iPhone XS Max are the definition of sucks ass, then I don't think I can agree! Of course the optics on a 10 year old DSLR is a defining difference. Now they are being simulated in software. It genuinely works. Additionally the iPhone XS Max has incredible dynamic range, better than most DSLR single shot JPEGs.... Not of 10 years ago but of now. Resolution and low light performance are "enough" for my snapshot needs and phone screens. Of course, a full frame DSLR from 10 years ago like the Sony A900 will beat it for that hands down... but who is pixel peeping snapshots on Facebook? The software side is just not something you have with any DSLR. I am as equally into grading RAW on an Android flagship as I am grading the superb HEIFs from my iPhone, which start off a bit like LOG frames. Not many DSLRs from 10 years ago have a 46 megapixel sensor (Xiaomi Mi 9) with 14bit RAW grading built in and a massive OELD do they?? The ability to shape the bokeh and change the focus point in post is very useful. Again all thanks to the computational advancements. I had the CM1, but sold it. It was capable of some fantastic images but the lack of IS hurt it in low light vs the iPhone at the time, I remember it being rather noisy. Bit of a flat looking lens as well with not much 3D pop. Very basic software killed the rest of the experience, and old Android release. Credit to Panasonic to trying though.

The E-M1X and E-M1 II are superb video cameras. Better than any Volvo Camcorder in the same price range. I really enjoy them both, but yet - LOG was indeed one of the reasons I upgraded from my E-M1 II - not the only reason, but one of them. E-M1X is a superb hybrid that does stills and video very well, with some of the best ergonomics and colour science on the market. In my opinion, camera companies need to be a bit more mindful of the gap between their high-end and mid-range cameras, it seems to be getting smaller and smaller. Look at the Z6 and Z7 for instance.

I am sure E-M1X owners are really happy about one of their main reasons for buying it going for free to a cheap $800 used camera body!!

Lens adapters to Sony e-mount already exist. A Kinefinity mount can just be an adapter. Reverse engineering is entirely legal too. The Holy Material EXISTS!! Good luck with the project mate!
