Nice grading. You have the colour spot on with the Jaguar. Car shot is Voigtlander 50mm F1.2 Aspherical (the new one), Leica M mount. It's a gem. https://www.wexphotovideo.com/voigtlander-50mm-f1-2-aspherical-vm-nokton-lens-1670173/ The anamorphic shot is the humble LA7200(!) on Leica 23mm F2 pancake with autofocus-through (Super 35mm 4K mode) but needs very large unobtainable diopter for close focus. I've always had a soft spot for the LA7200 it was my first anamorphic adapter.

I've had some rabbit holes, Stax L700... Meh.... Hifiman HE1000... I don't regret the H1000 but the cheaper Ananda is just as good, and Sundara unique in it's own way... A total steal at £300 when it was on sale last month at Amazon. HE1000 were closer to £3k when they came out!!! Then there's the DACs and amps.... One of the reasons I disappeared from EOSHD for long periods at a time was because of my audio obsession!! Check Zeos out here... He gets a bit too excited but he's almost always RIGHT.

Yes I think perhaps that's true about the GH6 but they have been pretty generous considering 95% of the market for the S1 is stills! What they need to watch out for a bit is Sony and Nikon because they are doing all sorts... Z6 does autofocus well, S1 doesn't. Sony do autofocus well on a wide range of models, starting cheap (if unimaginative). Nikon will be first with full frame RAW and I had expected Panasonic to do that. So Panasonic better do a proper video S model along with a GH6, just doing a GH6 might not be enough. They also need to embrace Phase Detect AF sensors.

Interesting take on the E-M1X. I had forgot about the LiveND altogether but for stills I imagine it would be great... Having that real-time moving slow shutter shot to accurately shoot at slow shutter speeds handheld with the stabiliser is going to be unique and very creative indeed. I like the chunky chassis, original Four Thirds Olympus E-1 was a very comfortable DSLR! And don't forget Olympus OM-LOG and Cinema 4K! And I can confirm it works great I would love to upload more videos, unfortunately where I am living at the moment there's not much to shoot - a few sheep, a few hills and some drunk locals. I am in transition between the Berlin artist life with plenty to shoot and plenty of content, to seeking it all out from scratch in the UK again... Will take me a while to get back into my stride, but when I travel - say to Italy or Spain or back to Berlin I always bring 5 or 6 current exciting models with me and shoot there. I have a lot from my last trip to Berlin that I've not uploaded yet. I better get my arse in gear and get round to it.

Not necessarily, as it's converted back to RGB data before it reaches the DNG file. I have the P20 Pro and that had a Quad Bayer sensor, with a-typical RAW sensor data, and my image processing app Polarr supported the DNGs straight off the bat. I expect similar this time. In DNG the images are incredibly natural with no Chinese processing whatsoever and dynamic range is exceptional. Has anyone had the chance to use multi-frame RAW on the Pixel 3 and seen the dynamic range advantages of that yet? Do you watch Z Reviews on YouTube? He's taught me a LOT about headphones. I saw his review of the Alara. I have too many existing cans now though, so I've peaked with my Z Review related purchases The favourites of that odyssey were: - Mr Speakers Aeon (Closed) - Hifiman Ananda and Sundara - Beyerdynamic T5p for portable use - Focal Elear (open, very good for the price) - ZMF Aeolus Also the old Denon D5000 and EMU Teac variants have a unique sound signature, very enjoyable. The Hifiman stuff is so good I am selling my Audeze LCD X and Sennheiser HD800S. Best thing is Hifiman aren't a rip off, either.

Or shoot RAW DNG which doesn't have any sharpening whatsoever. I have upgraded with EE! Cost me £30 for the phone on a £53 per month tariff with 60GB of data. Not bad. Considerably cheaper than most of the high-end iPhone tariffs at £70-£90+!! It is shipping in about 7-10 days. At the moment I have an iPhone XS Max and very happy with it, but increasingly I've been splitting my handset use between iOS and Android devices. I have an LG V30 which I use for the quad-DAC headphone output as my DAP with a variety of headphones. I have my original P20 Pro when I want to shoot RAW and the iPhone camera doesn't cut it. Most of the time I use the iPhone XS Max as my main phone, and have been mightily impressed with the camera especially the new Portrait mode but the P30 Pro looks like it's in another league. Time of flight camera?!?! 40MP!? 50x zoom (5x of it optical!) Bring it on.

If you're worried about the bitrate why aren't you complaining the Nikon Z6 "only" shoots 140Mbit H.264 8bit? Surely 140Mbit equivalent H.265 in 10bit is superior to that. And definitely superior to the A7 III 4k H.264 at only 100Mbit. In addition the small file sizes are a benefit, especially for longer shoots. The lack of fine detail and water colour rendering is not what I'm seeing at all. There's a ton of fine detail in the image. At higher ISOs it may be worth doing a comparison with the Blackmagic BRAW codec on the Pocket 4K with noise reduction at various levels in both cameras to see how noise is handled. You can't complain about a lack of grain texture at ISO 200 on a full frame sensor on the Jaguar E-type shots. Clean images are what we EXPECT from a full frame CMOS. Colour science is looking good on that shot but the lens clearly has an issue with the wheels, lots of chromatic aberration! It was however, shot wide open at F1.2. The Voigtlander 50mm F1.2 Asph in Leica M mount is a beast... Look how sharp it resolves!!

Very impressive. Loved shooting RAW stills on my P20 Pro. The aperture of the telephoto has taken a bit of a backward step though hasn't it? And the DXOMark score doesn't seem much different. When does it hit shops in Europe?

I have done a small test, by comparison to the Nikon Z6 it falls short, but it wasn't as bad as I expected. I only have the 24-105mm Lumix and Leica 23mm F2 to try AF with though and it will vary depending on the lens. Since I don't plan a £10,000 investment in new lenses for just one camera, I won't be using AF much on the S1 regardless of how well it works anyway. It's the AF performance with adapted Canon lenses that I'm most interested in. We'll see how the Sigma MCE-11 adapter does... Not very well I suppose!

The 4K full frame S1 is on my desk at EOSHD HQ and for the first time it's the final released camera that is shipping to stores, with firmware version 1.0. I couldn't offer any original files from my shoot in Barcelona as the firmware back then was version 0.7. So now's your chance, if you're wondering how good the initial 10bit codec is at just 72Mbit or how well it grades, to download my files and have a look for yourself... Read the full article

I'm going to be back up to full throttle on EOSHD starting today. For those of you who are wondering where I've been and what I've been doing, here's a glance at what I've been working on... Read the full article

This week I should have the V4 of Pro LOG out so hold out for that, it works fantastically.

Ah right. You can only search within a selected thread on a desktop browser, not mobile. I didn't make this forum software, not much I can do about it.

It is on my phone, tap the magnifying glass icon at top bar

Hope you're feeling better Kaylee!! 30's (if that's where you are now) are a real treat, much more productive than 20's.... it's where things finally start to come together. I am sure you will start to see that soon. I didn't even start EOSHD until I was 30!

You can get Pro Color 3.0.... Unless you need help setting up the menus / codecs / video modes /etc, then the shooter's guide comes in handy.

Not sure that the lens is made in Germany and it isn't in the same league as the Leica M 28mm Summilux F1.4. I think it's a Panasonic optic on the Q. There's not much competition in full frame compact cameras, but I have the original Q and RX1R II, and I am tempted by the Zeiss ZX1 as well. They are a wonderful breed. The Q2 will be interesting but not purely based on the fact it has 4K now, although that's very nice, and something the Sony RX1R II doesn't have. The Q definitely feels like a Panasonic. It's not a brass tank, or anything in league with an M. That has it's own pros and cons... It's light, and technologically very current!

Who is suing them? Adobe?

Oops fixed!!

Blackmagic RAW has arrived on the Pocket 4K camera, meanwhile Cinema DNG has been remove due to patent claims, and basically being an obsolete format with poor performance and compatibility. I don't really mourn Cinema DNG, but it's a shame they had to remove it for legal reasons. What's very interesting on the hardware side is how Blackmagic are able to deliver such a dramatic firmware update. A lot of consumer cameras have hardware based on ASIC chipsets. The Blackmagic Pocket 4K has a FFPGA (Fast Field Programmable Gate Array) which is a type of chip that can be completely reprogrammed at the hardware level by software commands. This is how Blackmagic are able to deliver such fundamental features as an entire new raw codec, which would have necessitated a hardware change on a normal camera. Blackmagic are providing a BRAW Player as well for MacOS which allows quick preview and playback of clips from the Finder. BRAW clips are a single file unlike Cinema DNG, which is a folder of still DNG frames in sequence. Read the full article

WHERE'S THE LOG SAUCE!?

Bought an RP so I can develop a version of my C-LOG profile for it. It's going to straight back to Amazon when I'm done with that.

I am mega excited about that one. I have the Techart Leica M AF adapter and that's superb, and I have the Fuji GFX adapter for EF and the autofocus on that is as good as the native AF with Fuji's own medium format lenses. They have yet to disappoint. Very good company.

It's the Canon lenses keeping the cameras afloat, that's for sure. Looking at the Panasonic S1, the lens situation is a mess. No AF-C on the Sigma adapter for Canon. No phase-detect AF on the sensor. No affordable primes from Panasonic at launch and the 50mm F1.4 is far too large. Looking at the Canon EOS RP, very small and affordable 35mm F1.8 with IS and macro ability. EF adapter that works properly. Cutting edge expensive stuff like the 50 1.2 and 28-70 2.0 for the pros. There's no question the S1 is a better camera for video though, as long as you don't mind waiting for Sigma's L mount lenses or using manual focus. Then again you'll be using MF in 4K on the RP any way!

The autofocus does seem pretty good on the Olympus. Is it as good as the X-T3? No question who wins IBIS between those two though That amusement park is a gem, would like to see you explore it more... and some of the crazies. Sara is a natural... I can't believe this is the first time I've seen a video with her in, as she seems mega famous from her channel and instagram. Nice work guys!
