The Canon Rumors Kompetition is Kaput?

What's the max buffer capacity in raw?

My Mavic 2 Pro gets very warm. Seems to have an internal fan as well. I think the image processor is in the main chassis of the aircraft rather than the tiny camera head, which is probably just a sensor and nothing else.

EOSHD = Fox News? I think you'll find more facts in one EOSHD review than in a whole year of Fox News.

This is a really good idea. The forum software doesn't have a Ghost feature but it should have it. I had to ban him in the end. Too much BLAH BLAH.

Sorry no. I am not reviewing the tech specs of the HDMI signal in isolation to the rest of the camera. I am as disappointed with the HDMI output as I am with the rest of the camera, because of what comes out of it. The Z7 I am not disappointed about in the least bit, either the HDMI or the internal codec, again because of the END RESULT. I don't care about the HDMI spec in isolation, I care what kind of image I am getting from it. Fact is it is 1.8x crop via HDMI. It is not full frame like the Nikon. Why would I review the HDMI port?! Based on how many pins it has or what bit depth it supports, when there is that massive elephant in the room of the image being 1.8x crop from it? Like I say above, it's not about "That one specific feature". I can say GREAT it's 10bit. What use is that without mentioning it's a 1.8x crop image? That is not how journalism works. You have to give the full picture (pun intended). It's not a dry tech fact-finding mission style blog. EOSHD is partly a personal blog and always has been about my own opinion and use of the cameras. The moment Canon stop being disappointing, I will praise them for it. Although they have generated a massive lack of goodwill with me, there's no bias without justification.

Not to mention we are about to get a new Sony... A7S III most likely. And at IBC Canon is rumoured to have a new XC style piece of cack.

Hmm, not the best test. We will find some others...

On the subject of adapters, the PL adapter is out already before the camera has shipped. I expect an EF adapter to follow just as quickly from China https://www.newsshooter.com/2018/09/06/mtf-services-nikon-z-mount-adapters/ No. I ban people when they are a pain in the fucking arse.

Wasn't the bike test shot in 1080p?

Oh well in that case we should ALL run out and buy it then! The masses are always right! Follow the crowd! I am switching to iMovie immediately and buying Canon stock. Anything that helps me shoot more cinematic footage, huh?! The perfect combo for the most stupid era of human history.

Yet!

It's not the same feature though, is it Mr Ignore The Crop Factor. On the Nikon it is full frame 10bit out. On the Canon it is crippled 1.8x crop 10bit out. So on the Nikon it is a bonus feature, I personally, won't be using it. Like I said in the article. And on the Canon it is a pointless waste of everybody's time, just like the internal recording. You shouldn't make so many excuses for it. You can use the beloved Sigma F1.8 on any APS-C camera or in S35 crop mode on the full frame Sonys. It is designed for 1.5x crop not 1.8x by the way.

I am pretty sure I already banned the guy behind the name and he just keeps coming back, like a weed.

Similar sensor to the D850 and it's not a full pixel readout (of 46MP!!) I would expect rolling shutter to be fine, as it is on the D850. I rarely have an issue with it. It's not 12ms like a GH5 or Alexa but somewhere around 20ms. So not A6500 or NX1 30ms territory where it begins to be more noticeable.

Do you want to be banned? Heading the right way. You're an irritant. What does 10bit HDMI have anything to do with anything? I am talking about the superb internal Nikon colour and codec. I couldn't give a crap about hooking up an HDMI recorder just for 10bit, you can barely tell the difference in quality anyway. I have a lot of interesting lenses to use on it. Nikon F mount ones. Sigma ones. PL. There will be adapters to all sorts. You are a jealous Canon fanboy and an idiot of the first order. Let's vote on it. Should MdB get the boot? He's obviously trolling now. Every day. I am sick of reading this shit and it cluttering up every thread!

What year is it, 2009? Shooting 1080p as a "work-around"? We have plenty of choice for full frame 4K. A7S II, A7R II, A7 III, A7R III, Z6, Z7, D850 and soon A7S III / Panasonic full frame. You buy a full frame camera to shoot full frame stills and full frame video that looks the same as the stills. It's HYBRID camera. If you want to shoot 1.8x crop, get a GH5S or a GH5. You'll have money left over for the EF Speed Booster. I really don't understand why people are making apologies for such a shit spec.

Of all the new stuff, the Z7 is the one I am leaning towards buying. The full frame 4K looks like D850++ And that already looked like a 1D C. VERY cinematic. It has superb colour. Nikon's colour science is just as good as Canon's, maybe even a bit better. Great dynamic range. Flat profile and now they have LOG as well. You only have to see some of the early sample videos to see how nice the skin tones are. I don't see any softness, moire, aliasing or rolling shutter issues in the sample videos. I am sure Z6 is fine as well but maybe 1080/120p is better on the Z7. Nikon's codec implementation is superb. Has been since the D750. Now it is high-bitrate 4K. A total winner. I like the look of the ergonomics (and colour science) more than my Sony bodies. I expect MdB will reply next saying why you should buy a shitty EOS R instead, haha. I only have one concern and that is the AF via Nikon F adapter. The native lenses are a bit boring for the price. It clearly has great video AF with those Z lenses but if it has great video AF with Nikon F lenses as well, I am sold, because I already have a bunch of those including Sigma ART.

No it wouldn't. The raw frame buffer is the same sensor area as the stock compressed H.264 1080p. You don't get full-width 1080p from a cropped frame buffer. It is pixel binned though.

I think the problem is user-related than ML They got 3.5K RAW out of the 2012 5D Mark III, and the response on here was pretty underwhelming. I wrote a big guide about how to get it working, and again, not much interest. The original raw video ML on the 5D III got a LOT more interest. So I suggest, people should be more excited about this stuff than they actually are. Have we become spoilt? Have we just got lazy? I don't understand why more of you aren't making use of that incredible 3.5K image.

C100 is Super 35. That is a 1.5x crop. Canon APS-C is 1.6x crop. Small difference but they are not the same. 4K on the EOS R is 1.8x crop. That is starting to become a big difference. It is nowhere near the C100's FOV. Sure, but we are talking about compared to what? A really old, obsolete camcorder. Calling it 4K APS-C 10bit is a bit generous, when it is actually 1.8x and you need a wobbly HDMI cable and even wobblier recorder brick on the end of an arm and cage, to get at the 10bit The Nikon Z7 compares very favorably to Canon's image (LOG, colour, etc.). Better in fact, because it's full frame 4K. And I don't see any issue with the ergonomics on it either. Very easy to use. I agree NDs are important. More people should copy that EOS R ND adapter. I am sure there will be third party ones with E and Z mount.

The X-T3 is about to drop and looks amazing. 4K 60p 10bit internal Super 35mm. That is a first and I am amazed the company that showed ZERO interest in video until only about 2 years ago has been the one to do it. The 28-70 F2 in Caleb's picture above, is a valid size comparison to me. He knows he's not comparing like for like, it' just what he had on him and it's a good size comparison because we're familiar with the size of the GH5. The 28-70 is absolutely enormous and mega heavy. Nearly 2kg like the old BMCC. Canon can fool their customers but they can't fool physics

Well, good for them. Aiming a new system at your old customers doesn't exactly win you any Sony customers though, does it? Wow that's a lot of money for an APS-C camera. Erm. To me it just shows what a bad deal you are getting with Canon for that money vs the others. At least the C100 is aimed at actual videographers and has the proper audio / XLRs. Terrible rolling shutter skew and a lens motor on your audio track. You're ok with that? Really?!

Look! Magic Lantern want an EOS R. And I know just the guy to give them one... As you can see, Magic Lantern tweeted @ Canon Rumors that they would very much like an EOS R body. Well together my friends, we can make this happen! Be ready tomorrow morning Eastern time. This is when Canon Rumors are starting the competition. All you need to do is enter it. Do whatever's required, even if it involves stupid hashtags like #BeTheRevolution If you're chosen simply reply that you wish for Magic Lantern to have the camera. In return, I'll mention your heroic act on the blog. And if Canon Rumors doesn't end up putting that EOS R body in Magic Lantern's direction, I'll simply point out the truth, that the site Canon once threatened to close down has finally SOLD OUT to the PR machine in a fit of hashtags and Canon giveaways. Yes, the site that leaks and plunders the camera industry for whatever they can find, has finally been tamed! But Canon Rumors have this chance to redeem themselves. Give the camera to Magic Lantern. Contact Canon Rumors here and urge them to support Magic Lantern with the unit

Yeah, when will people learn exactly? $5600 just to get up and shooting with a 50mm, that is a wobbly un-stabilized 90mm in video mode. Why not buy a Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 4.6K for that much? Or spend it on a Sony / Nikon or Panasonic? I hope the EOS R disaster is a wake-up call for Canon fans.
