The Canon 100D is £250 used and I have always had a bit of a soft spot for it, being the smallest and lightest Canon DSLR body. I recently installed an experimental version of Magic Lantern on the 100D and am absolutely taken-aback by how good the image is! It practically eliminates moire and softness. The 100D shoots continuous 1.7K RAW video in 25p and 24p to SD card. Read the full article

Bad defence. 6D Mark II doesn't have ML RAW! It's not the same at all. Different chipset and processor. Performance will be completely different and likely much worse. Also there are key lenses still without OIS to support optimal EIS performance, like the Canon 24-70mm F2.8L II. Don't make me laugh! They'd rather it didn't exist. What a stupid comment! All I am asking for is an editable 4K codec on their 2017 DSLRs costing $2000+! So have 4K disabled out of the box and a $100 add on like V-LOG on the GH5, then.

UPDATE: Ah got it. MLVFS. Blog post coming. Shooting continuous 10bit video on the £250 Canon 100D at close to 1.8k in 2.35:1

What apps are you guys using to convert compressed RAW 10bit MLV to DNG on a Mac? I have searched for a few and only Mystic beta 0.5 works so far - but there are green focus pixels all over the frame on the 100D.

The current state of video on Canon DSLRs continues to go from bad to worse. Read the full article

Don't think Canon has a colour advantage any more. I am getting often superior results with EOSHD Pro Color on the A99 II, and the GH5's 10bit is something else.

Body only.

Replacement can't be far off!

They have reduced the price of the A7S II (and A7R II) by £500 on WEX in the UK. Is this a new thing or on-going reduction?

How about the Voigtlander 10.5mm F0.95? Anyone tried this yet?

I'm talking about the way people shoot now, not in the 50's. Yes there will always be the exception like a crew with 4 A-cams all with the same purpose. But in my mind and in this topic with Oliver we are talking supporting role, small camera, multiple bodies at a price lower than the A cam.

No, it's absurd to deny the existence of B-cameras. Same camera as the A cam isn't a B cam, it's another A cam!! That's the way the concept works!

Anyone watching Oliver Stone's Putin interviews on Sky Atlantic? Canon C series but 5D Mk III as B-camera and quite a few DSLRs going on there. B-cameras are a real thing... Saying C200 is B-cam on a C200 shoot is just silly.

Enjoy. I'll give you a free copy of EOSHD Pro Color to go with it, just DM me when it arrives!

Find the one that responds to protocols over HTTP and get that one I know what you mean though - I have the same dilemmas, in the end Mk IV has stood the test of time and I didn't feel upgraditus coming on... The A6300 and A6500 on the other hand, I regret buying.

Who cares about sales? Most people are sheep with minimum knowledge, and as I'm not a Canon shareholder I don't care about who is in the lead of sales, I care about what is going to give me the most artistic image, best specs, the most convenient form factor and best value for money.

Yes. Obviously the GH5 has the edge on the codec side with 10bit and it has slow-mo. Nearly everything else is better on the Olympus though, including the general 'feel' when using it. What is surprising about both is just how good the colour and skintones are... Canon have competition. I know I will keep both as they are too hard to sell... Obviously with the GH5 I don't absolutely need the E-M1 II but there is something about it that's compelling... a nicer feel in the hand and slightly better stabilisation with 90% of the video quality of the GH5.

It's not C-mount. It's Arri Standard mount (Arri-S)

I have upgraded your forum profile to a Super Member so you can edit your original post and generally have mod-like access to the forum. Thanks for all your efforts so far on the project.

You can get great results with the wire insert for horizontal flare and the oval iris. Look at the prices then you will understand and appreciate it...

Ah yes saw those from Ironglass, very nice work from the Ukraine. Looks like a real talent behind the endeavour. Perhaps we have our new DogSchidtOptiks

The GH5 has the chunkiest 10bit files I've ever seen for $2000. Some of the lenses are even more of a bargain. Read the full article

Not a very good rumour. Not their highest rating for the source and specs sounds made up. 26MP? Makes no sense. It's been nearly 6 years since the old 6D, they have to get it right. Problem there is the completely different set of lenses you'd need to buy and manual focus ring that turns in opposite direction plus the terrible 2x crop factor on the D500 and the expense of the D5 means you may as well get the 1D X Mark II instead with DPAF.

1D C as a B-camera depends on how long you shoot for over the course of a day, because trust me that codec in 4K is not nice for long form content, interviews and live events.

I know many pros through this site and in Berlin, they are all shooting A7R II, GH4, etc. despite owning the larger cameras... The supporting role is still valid. They have cut-away angles that need a less experienced operator shooting handheld, so C200 is overkill for that role. The headaches are a pity because they're unnecessary. Not to mention the electronic NDs which could filter down into more models and make an A7S Mk 3 much more viable even as an A-cam.
