  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Both Chinese Sony internet information war bots are reading from the same script today. Even the spelling is authentically human.
  6. Dual Gain output with twin analogue circuits on the sensor, bit like the GH5S. I think it is a different sensor to the S1.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. The S1H is the best featured mirrorless camera on the market for filmmakers - just to put it into perspective, let's start by summarising the entire competition as quickly as we can. Read the full article
  10. It's true, sadly https://www.eoshd.com/2019/08/nikon-z6-raw-video-update-is-now-a-paid-service-centre-update-still-no-release-date/
  11. 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
  12. E-M1 = GH5 with Sony autofocus Well, if you can live without the 10bit and 60fps that is.
  13. Since E-M10 III is so cheap but doesn't have great AF or any form of LOG, you could save a bit of money and not bother waiting for E-M5 III. Put a Speed Booster on E-M10 III instead
  14. It's great https://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/27980-the-absolutely-mega-olympus-e-m10-iii-oversampled-46k-no-crop-5-axis-ibis-for-500/#comments
  15. APS-C is not high end when a $1300 full frame mirrorless cam exists that Canon would prefer you buy!
  16. Didn't you feel ripped off when you found out your 500 euros lens had a whiny externally focusing barrel like a 1980'S Tamron? A big backward step from the EF 35mm F2.0
  17. Great stuff. Let me know if you'd like a test user on the Pocket 6K, as it looks like I have one on the way from the Netherlands.
  18. It's not the difference in look between 24p and 25p that's any issue, it's the fact you can't shoot in NTSC countries with 25p and avoid flickering lights, cannot mix 24p and 25p on one timeline, they don't conform to each other without dropping a frame or adding a frame, which wreaks the motion cadence, and besides 25p isn't the cinema standard, and some cameras like the Canon 1D C don't shoot 25p in 4K, so good luck having an EOS M6 Mark II as your B-cam for the 1D C or other 24p-4K only cam.
  19. They are on a glide-path to exiting the consumer camera market completely and exploring other avenues. And it shows!
  20. A bit of an unnecessary poke at Mattias for sure, who is after all completely RIGHT about Canon's colour science, completely right that it's all about the image. Take colour, feel and the image composition away and add specs... and what do you have. Yes that's right... Shit all.
  21. I'm in favour of keeping it a cinematography challenge, instead of a test of scriptwriting skill or something else. Happy to do another one. The more limits, the more creative. A phone challenge might be an option. I have my RED Hydrogen at the ready
  22. Canon are running out of ways to improve stills quality, so it's inevitable they'll come back to video users sooner rather than later... Especially when the complacency they have relied on over the years in the form of being in the lead on sales, vanishes. It's the cynicism of it all that pisses me off the most. Putting USB C on but at 2.0 speeds... To save mere fractions of a cent development costs on $1000+ cameras Removing 24p Disabling Dual Pixel AF in 4K whenever they feel like it, same with Canon LOG Waiting 4 years to get on par with Sony's RX100 technology with the high-end compact cameras Using very old, dated sensor tech and chipsets I couldn't care less about the EOS M6 Mark II as we have far better cameras from Fuji and Panasonic for less money. (Although it would have been nice to have made the most of Canon's colour and EOS M mount's adaptability to c-mount in various video-related ways). Canon have lost a LOT of customer goodwill.
