Of course there's the "i" and "info" buttons and you can cycle display modes but none of the cycles remove the filename stamp during recording or the clip time remaining counter unfortunately. Why aren't Nikon testers picking up on stuff like this... Oh I forgot they are all "yes men"

I think you will love it As a stills camera foremost it's amazing. The new additions like silent shutter & articulated screen are great for stealthy street photos. For video it's all I really need... amazing full frame 4K in a compact body, even smaller than 1D C... With Nikon colours. ISO 64 is like a digital ND filter. Can shoot in daylight at 1/50 at F4 and still get as much shallow DOF as a Micro Four Thirds lens at F2 Overcast day mind you... In the sun you still need NDs or high shutter speeds. But it's a nice bonus!

Nope. Only the Sony cameras allow this. Not even the Panasonic GH5 lets you do it.

Ah yes forgot about the Tamrons. And the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 has OS too.

The guide comes with it, when you buy it. The USB cable goes in the USB port of your camera to connect it to your computer. You can't load picture profiles onto the SD card and do it like that, has to go through Canon's software. It's very simple, you will do it. Just read the guide and the camera manual.

Canon 5D Mark III - 3.5K and 4K raw video with Magic Lantern
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Milestones will get posted when they happen... -
I've made sure the fav-icon is back and tested to see if it works. It does! So if you update your forum bookmark it should show. Make sure the URL is https://www.eoshd.com/comments/forum/4-eoshd/

Producing your own content is a good long term business model because years later when the repeats air on other stations, you can earn a lot from the syndication fees. Once Stranger Things is old and no longer attracts new customers to Netflix it will be on cable and other streaming services and Netflix will get paid for every view.

The other camera with this Kodak super 16 sensor was the Ikonoskop A good place to find them used is here - http://www.rawcinemashop.com/used-gear-market-place/ Might be worth looking for some on eBay as the prices may have come down quite a lot. https://www.eoshd.com/2012/11/ikonoskop-a-cam-dll-vs-blackmagic-cinema-camera-first-impressions/ The Digital Bolex and Ikonoskop look was one of the most unique I've ever seen from any digital camera. Limitations and all - all part of how special it looks. https://www.eoshd.com/2013/03/ikonoskop-a-cam-dll-versus-blackmagic-cinema-camera/

Why I feel Panasonic treats all but GH5 users as a second class
Andrew Reid replied to Amazeballs's topic in Cameras
There will always be bargains out there. Go and grab them, not moan -
Canon 5D Mark III - 3.5K and 4K raw video with Magic Lantern
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
The preview shouldn't have a slow refresh rate or low quality in this mode, so something is up... Try turning global draw off It's full frame you want right? So don't enter crop mode for the 3x3 binning HD 60p -
Why I feel Panasonic treats all but GH5 users as a second class
Andrew Reid replied to Amazeballs's topic in Cameras
I really think it's more like a hardware limit. You need hardware acceleration for 10bit H.264 and H.265. It's silicon, not software. If you don't feel like you got what you paid for on the G85 and GX85, then I'm amazedballs. They really do go beyond the specs you'd expect for the price. Any closer to the GH5 and what would be the point of ponying up $2000 for it? Making the G85 any better would kill the GH5 stone dead and nobody wants that to happen. Sensor readout speed isn't fast enough. It's not just the processor. Again it's not just software. The sensor has to be fast enough to scan for CDAF at over 240fps. If they gave users the option to buy V-LOG for an extra $100 on a $500 camera, they would lose $1500 not gain $100. I'm all for generosity, and Panasonic are much more generous than Canon. You could argue that Sony having S-LOG on their consumers cameras gives them a bad reputation because a lot of consumers don't know how to grade it properly and it ends up all over the internet making people think Sony cameras shoot weird looking video. You don't expect 1st class service when you buy an economy ticket on a flight though do you? So why expect it with cameras? -

What Compact Flash card are you using @tigerbengal? -
The Future is Computational. ANAMORPHIC ON IPHONE!
Andrew Reid replied to Dave Maze's topic in Cameras
A glimpse into the future. This will really influence the look of lenses a lot in 10 years. Smartphones were the first! The adjusted stills are a big leap forwards in your examples. -
New EOSHD Pro Color 3.0 and EOSHD Pro LOG comes to Sony cameras
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Nice to see some amazing results come in. Will put them on the blog early next week! -
Interesting article found via Daring Fireball / John Gruber (well known Apple blogger): ‘The Real Story in This Mess Is Not the Threat That Algorithms Pose to Amazon Shoppers, but the Threat That Algorithms Pose to Journalism’ Maciej Ceglowski, demolishing a “news” story [from reputable Channel 4 News in the UK] that spread around the world claiming that Amazon’s suggestions were helping people make bombs, when in fact they were helping people conduct high school chemistry experiments:

My guide to buying a cheap Hasselblad medium format camera
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
It's a bellows focusing film camera though. The article is about finding the price sweet spot for digital medium format. If you added a half decent Leaf back to the RZ67 you'd still end up past the £3000 point. Hasselblad H3D and Pentax 645D is where it's at. -
Such a patronising tone cantsin, ffs. That's the whole point - an environmental cause has broader appeal than a camera review, so they are going after the clicks with this kind of bait instead of putting the hard work in and doing the reviews. And it is happening everywhere, to the real detriment of ORIGINAL content and original journalism.

The disaster artists at DPReview have a new headline article for us today. And the main takeaway from the repost is this: As for capturing the photo itself, we asked Hofman if he would like to share anything with our audience of photographers directly. This is what he had to say: "The thing I would really like to tell photographers is to a) Listen to your gut and b) Don't worry so much about gear." *Shrugs* So yes, this is DPReview telling us after 1000's of in-depth reviews to not worry so much about gear after all. Not that this message runs counter to their overall purpose as journalists and camera reviewers, nooooooo Not that by placing this clickbait front and centre on the home page distracts from their core business of reviews and puts off 90% of their existing readership, of course not! Once the novelty of q-tip holding seahorses, microscopic close-ups of peacock feathers and tips on shooting macro photos of boiling water* wears off, maybe we will get to why we browsed to the site, maybe a review or 2... After all it is called Digital Photography Review, as is about cameras. So I did a small sample of one day in September, yesterday in fact, it was a real vintage day for content at DPReview with 12 articles going out and only 2 of them were reviews. So now we can conclude that DPReview is approximately 10% reviews and 90% seahorse pictures, with the readership currently 90% looking for reviews and 10% for seahorse pictures. What I assume DPReview wants to achieve is to switch that readership to 90% looking for seahorse pictures because who the fuck doesn't like seahorse pictures? Suddenly DPReview is going to explode into the mainstream with more clicks than they can handle... Just look at the CUUUUUTE little seahorse!!! * actual articles on DPR Yes even the BBC and they are publicly funded! They have a special place reserved on their main news home page for clickbait, it's the 4th square across under the main headline of the day. The seahorse picture is right up there with a journalist reporting from a war zone. It's what people want. Yes they love a good controversy generated out of nothing. PewDiePie on YouTube owes 70% of his popularity to the Wall Street Journal. And we see the results in their voting and consumption behaviour! I really hope this happens. I hope people get so burned out by trivial, repetitive junk content that there comes a golden age of the internet where the amount of content drops massively and the quality of each piece skyrockets. It would do us all a lot of good to go on a digital diet. This is an interesting point, because the corporate influence is so much more personal and subversive now. They are able to influence which friends we interact with, which ones we see the updates from and which ones we don't, the machines are acting as a filter rather than us. I think by and large machine algorithms are even influencing which articles get written and which don't, despite their original purpose to filter for quality.

Yes they are sending it to the real Andrew thankfully!

The teardown video - You can't look at a sensor like that and tell what the bit depth is. Where is his info coming from? Actual LG white paper for the camera module? Or advertising department? Most sensors are 12bit or 14bit by the way I don't even think 8bit sensors exist in phones. They are all 12bit. Correct me if I'm wrong (with proof!) It's the processing that determines the final bit-depth to be either 8bit or 10bit. When I bypass that and shoot raw on my S8+, the files are not 8bit raw. The proof will be in the pudding... how does the image look from the phone, and so on.
