The future of camera screens - Holographic or Foldable OLED?
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
No issues with either on my OLED smartphones. -
Two new screen technologies are coming to the market which could revolutionise cameras. Read the full article

I guess it will have the X-H1 IBIS system, right? What's the rumoured release date? Photokina?
-
Fuji film simulation in 10bit. Yes please. I bet the AF will be pretty handy as well. Still enjoying X-H1. Personally I would be tempted to wait for the update to that rather than X-T3 though.
-
Game on.
-
Nice. Did you get it used or new from the guys in the UK?

Comment on the New York Times piece says it best: "Reading this comment board makes me sad for America. We used to hail our successes and revere exceptionally productive people. Anyone who has driven a Tesla knows it is a marvel of modern American engineering. Just putting that car on the road is a stunning accomplishment. But Elon Musk also has a thriving rocket company, is building the world’s largest battery factory, was a founder of PayPal and has dozens of other accomplishments to his name. In today’s America, that’s a reason to be ridiculed and despised. The Internet has destroyed this great land — giving every citizen a forum to anonymously expel their most venomous bile. I wouldn’t blame Musk for selling out to the Saudis. They wouldn’t put him through the insufferably inane garbage that gets flung at him in this country."

Required reading! https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/16/business/elon-musk-interview-tesla.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news https://www.thecut.com/2018/08/azealia-bankss-feud-elon-musk-grimes-explained.html So Tesla has some unnecessary side-battles to fight now, which I am sure the oil and established auto industry will use against their biggest rival. It's important for the whole damn planet that Elon Musk achieves his goals at Tesla and at SpaceX. Vital for humanity. People simply cannot get their heads around this. They are constantly gossiping and looking for ways to bring him down. Sure he's overworked. Yes, on sleeping pills. Maybe he even has a girlfriend (musician Grimes) who may not be the most stable presence (personally, I like her!). Yes, he may well have been on acid when he made the tweet about securing funding to take the company private at $420 a share. Who cares. People need to look past all this gossip, even the possible breach of the law, and give the guy a break. Imagine our city streets with no pollution and breathable air. Imagine a home on another planet, ready to continue humanity after we fuck up this one. Every investor in Tesla should let Musk concentrate on his health away from the extra pressure of lawsuits.

It's not going to be a Pocket camera once it's rigged up with a battery. I do wish Blackmagic could work on their power economy issues. However such great codecs and raw have a cost. I'd rather have 40 minutes of battery and some spares, rather than no option at all for ProRes and raw on a new, exciting camera to compete with the establishment.
-
Yeah, I am not surprised with $1000 price tags. There are far more than three. Toshiba, although now under Sony's ownership. TSMC, the third biggest contract chip maker in the world. http://www.tsmc.com/english/dedicatedFoundry/technology/cmos.htm Panasonic have large sensor CMOS fabs. And furthermore, once you look beyond to the fabless chip designers, you have many many other sources who can design custom CMOS sensors, like the one in the Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 4.6K. Samsung actually have a close relationship with Sony on image sensors and have put Sony CMOS sensors in their smartphones alongside their own.

Try this when shooting S-LOG 3 on Sony cameras
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Of course you don't have that problem with EOSHD Pro LOG at ISO 200 (*hint hint*) -
With the number of Galaxy handset shipments stalling since 2013, Samsung has been looking to raise prices on their high-end handsets to offset the plateau. The company has suffered dramatic losses of market share in China to cheaper rivals as a result. Now there are rumours Samsung is looking 'beyond the galaxy'... Read the full article

Glad it is working now guys, I will update the guide which comes with Pro Color to mention any FCPX issues and how to fix them.

Is it really coming?! The LX100 II?! August 23?!
Andrew Reid replied to newfoundmass's topic in Cameras
Disappointed they at least didn't put an articulated screen on it. The lens is already very nice as are the ergonomics so maybe they don't need to change it but after 4 years... You'd expect more creativity. -
How does he do VLOG material on a 1D X II with that MJPEG 4K codec? It would create an impossible workflow for the fast turn around his stuff needs, and massive amounts of material for archival. Or has he dropped his channel back to 1080p? He either doesn't care about 4K, or thinks AF is king... Either way, should have given the A7 III an audition, surely? Meanwhile in smartphone land, check this out https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-45208546 Motorola is now owned by Chinese company Lenovo, who are one of the least innovative fuckers on planet earth. If China doesn't start respecting the US copyright law, they are going to be in deep shit. And not just because of tub-thumping or bullying by small-hands Trump - but because losing access to Android and Qualcomm parts will be on the cards.

Okaaaay. Enough of this. You can take your overpriced lens somewhere else. Thread closed.
-
It has pros and cons. Hard to say what's BEST overall. I have the P20 Pro / Samsung S9 / iPhone X and each has strengths in different areas, Review coming soon.
-
Never underestimate the extended hand of friendship from PR companies and Canon. There's also some Samsung bias going on, with various iPhone X shots purposefully wobbly and the iPhone X is cracked for a start, which implies weakness subconsciously in the poster frame.
-
One of the most common problems with S-LOG 3 is that it's very counter-intuitive to expose it! Harv Video/Audio Stuff on YouTube says he is getting far better results with far less noise in the shadows with his technique, shown in the video above. I highly recommend trying it yourself.

Note 9 looked better than whatever Canon shit he was using to film the intro. Is it just me or has he gone back to Canon from the Panasonic GH5 and Sony stuff? I've noticed a huge drop in VLOG image quality since the 6D Mk II came out and he reviewed it.
-
Best way I can describe it are they are a logical favourite but not an emotional one. I don't really bond with it when using it.It's a utilitarian tool with top specs... it's not a friend, or a companion, in the way that some lesser cameras have been. Sony need to work on the X factor and look beyond the scientific.
-
They are doing well partly due to a good product but partly due to zero competition. No full frame mirrorless Panasonic, no Olympus, no Fuji, no Canon, no Nikon. That is about to change.
