Maybe you can help them out by saying WHY you don't like L-mount and what is wrong with it. I get that the lens road map from Panasonic is pretty sparse and Leica expensive... but there is a LOT to come from Sigma.

Seems you are massively jumping the gun based with these assumptions. It doesn't sound like press text to me. It sounds like some French guy prematurely summarising a few key features before the embargo. It's not an official press release or even close. Also: 6K / 24p (in format 3: 2) or 5,9K / 30p (in format 16: 9) Why would the 6K be 3:2 only?

Scotland looks freezing!!

And the people left out would still moan anyway! RED has no PDAF or flippy-tilty screen, are they out of touch with cinema market? Arri?

Fake news. Thread closed.

Another Crapon apologist. Oh dear. EOS R is not "low end of the market" The manufacturing cost issue and tech capabilities excuse has been disproven many times. Magic Lantern shows what even the very old and cheap bodies are capable of... see EOS M (first model) and even the 50D from 2008 which had no video mode. Tech has always been there for much better features implementation. Fuji X-T3 packs in plenty of nice tech for half the price of an EOS R... please do compare the video performance between those two. The manufacturing cost of an X-T3 seems to work for Fuji's bottom line. Canon manufacturing costs I have no idea and couldn't care less about. Maybe their factories have fallen behind and need upgrading and they cannot buy the latest processors from big rival Sony? Who knows. But if Fuji can make a profit on the X-T3, so can Canon on a similar spec body, I would have thought. Yes, when you have very old management, what worked in the 1980's may no longer be relevant today. That's Canon. In many ways they are the essence of what made Japan successful in past times, in other ways they are what happens when marketing people get too powerful, then get too old, and yet still end up running the company. All I can say is the engineers must be very bored and thinking of leaving. Nice, hope you enjoyed the race. However, not too hard to figure out that Canon have biggest established presence in the pro sports market for stills. Nothing changed there. Not sure what that has to do with the consumer or video market though. I do recognise the appeal for a classic style DSLR with very good live-view, good AF for stills, an easy to use video mode, nice feel, etc. Measure it on a technical level against competition though and the video mode doesn't hold a candle.

In Magic Lantern RAW (MLV) I had equal sharpness, detail and almost zero moire from both the 5D II with Mosaic AA and 5D III. Without the filter the 5D2 isn't so bad and definitely a lot less moire & aliasing than in the stock Canon video mode.

Getting back on the topic would be good.

A GH4 was used heavily on a Netflix series recently. Also The Grand Tour / BBC Top Gear. GH5S is a serious pro tool for a lot of people. It won't be a 20MP full frame sensor if it does 6K. No need to make a new sensor. It'll have the 24 megapixel S1 sensor which is 6000 pixels wide, so capable of 6K with full pixel readout. The Cinema S1 will just take that same chip and back it up with a beefy 6K codec. Let's hope price is no more than $3500 and that the specs are competitive with the upcoming A7S III... Oh, and that it has IBIS!

Not since the Sony FS5 have my pants been so on fire for an ND filter. The Panavision LCND uses a similar concept, in a stand-alone drop-in filter designed for cinema use. Read the full article

X-T30 with 18-55mm F2.8-4 would get my vote. Stabilisation works well. Image is perfect. Size is small. Feature packed. Not mega expensive. Nothing else gets close for the size and price. Olympus E-M10 III is newer and does it all even better! That would get my vote as well as the X-T30 although the Fuji is more advanced and feature packed, with larger sensor and much better AF and slow-mo 120fps

Canon are shit because they keep asking focus groups, and all of the people say "what is 4K" or "I edit on an iPhone" and "we don't need it". But marketing decide 4K is a box to be ticked, so it goes on when the cheap (and old) hardware isn't quite good enough for it, especially Canon's sensors which aren't using latest manufacturing methods. And Canon are a money making machine with no incentive to risk undermining a more expensive camera by making a good value for money one, at least when it comes to video because Canon knows video pros spend a fucking fortune. Canon are also a bit of a dinosaur, with senior Japanese management in their 70's and 80's who don't understand the modern tech world very well. ---- As for the HDMI output my guess is the HDR TV output is 10bit to support HDR displays... Whether the video output actually IS 10bit or in what HDMI mode you get HDR, I don't know. That page mentions "HDMI HDR output" and BT 2020 but for all we know it might be playback only. --- Ah next page: HDMI HDR Output Off / On An HDR display icon is shown when the camera is connected via HDMI to an HDR TV or monitor. HDR TV or monitor. Still photo: Supports RAW, C-RAW, and JPEG in single-image display. • Display is delayed by approx. 1 sec. for RAW and C-RAW images, which are processed. • Not supported during movie playback So the HDR 10bit HDMI is just for stills in playback mode... the HDMI output shows them in HDR mode on compatible TVs. Good move. I do at least rate Canon's lenses. I've been comfortable using Canon lenses on Fuji, Sony, Panasonic, Olympus and even Nikon bodies for a while now and only look back to Canon bodies when I want to shoot only stills, or see what Magic Lantern have done. My 1D C and 1DS Mark III are the best stills cameras I own when I need perfect AF via my EF lenses and long battery life.

Wow. Liked your footage a lot Zeek... What res was it before the upscale to 4K? Even my 4K screenshot of the YouTube frame has plenty of pop

Are these full sensor width, or a heavy crop?

Trusted source on the rumours site says: "It’s L-mount New Full Frame sensors Cinematography dream gear It’s built like a tank. Slightly bigger than the S1-S1R for better heat dissipation" So an Cine Lumix S1S to compete with a Sony A7S III. If it's a new sensor, I wonder if they went low with a 12-ish megapixel resolution for low light, or high for 8K or oversampling?

No, but you are. The Chinese industrial and tech revolution isn't ok with you is it?

Ford first to mass production. Trust the Americans to blame the Germans.

Considering that UK air pollution is entirely traffic driven, and only on certain days of the year in cities, you'll see similar in LA or New York as well. It'll come down, once we get over our oil and car obsession. Wonder where that started?!

I think the stuff at the back is just part of the rig, maybe there could be a battery plate there, to power the EVF. No sign of a camera body in that area and I think I even see a patch of the daylight between her head and the matte box where otherwise an EVA type brick would be.

Detail holding up very well from such a high resolution pixel binning sensor. The 5 axis IBIS has a lot of jitter and doesn't seem to be working to stop rotational jitter, but then it is shot by a talentless idiot. A well worn Tony thing is whenever he doesn't get invited with his fellow diva children of the camera press to a nice jaunt / holiday, he goes off on one of his rants making sure he name checks the company who smited the chosen one. The biggest names Fuji chose for the trip were Johnnie B and Gordon L, those well known celebrities of the camera kingdom.... Who will sit on the throne at the end? It's a fight to the death and there is only room for one ego in the YouTube camera review community.

Not sure what gave you that idea. You can't see the camera at all behind the massive matte box. Also the use of HDMI and the fact it's launching under Lumix branding would suggest an S1 form factor. If it were a EVA1 form factor there would be an SDI cable going into that nice Zaucto EVF they are using from an SDI port on the camera.

Yes sure. Tell that to the people of Michigan and those living close to the Mississippi River. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2019/may/06/cancertown-louisana-reserve-special-report

Deregulated environmental destruction, and diverting tax revenue from schools, hospitals, etc. to fund obsolete and dirty factory jobs, more like.

If it reaches £5k used, I will be on a plane faster than Donald Trump going to a rally on Airforce One But before I book the plane ticket, better be mindful of the dead mount of Fuji, Leica and Panasonic, those really dead and unsuccessful camera companies!

Enhance. I see a Zacuto Gratical with HDMI cable, SDI not used. I see a large matte box with small camera behind it... But follow focus is in a weird place, doesn't seem to be near the lens?
