Try setting the timeline monitor to quarter-res in Premiere Also a single hard disk drive isn't optimal for 4K video editing, I'd look seriously at a RAID or SSD setup Consider moving to Resolve 14 Studio Edition as it has far better performance from the core rendering engine than Adobe is able to give you

Meanwhile Resolve gets Fairlight Audio. I think I'll let Adobe's new team rock back and forth in the corner for a few years while they figure out how to add Titles to the Menus.

Interesting they put a full frame lens like the 24-35mm on there, what are they trying to say? If it were Super 35mm they'd put the 18-35mm on it, surely.

NAB 2017 so far has been a curious one. The biggest announcement has been a stills camera. The A9 however may give us some clues as to what to expect with the new video-monster. Read the full article

How does Premiere handle 10bit FS7 footage? Same crap?

Absolutely +10000 I am going to write a blog about this. Adobe's GH5 support has been completely off-hand. Do you have a Mac to hand? Try EditReady, it's the best $50 I ever spent.

Yeah looking boring so far but remember... it doesn't start proper until Monday. And leaks usually don't start to appear until the day before. However I am not that hopeful for much excitement on the camera side. Sony probably won't come with an A7S 3 just yet... Panasonic probably won't come with much as GH5 still fresh... Canon probably asleep and Nikon probably doesn't even know NAB is on

Believe the random DPR commenter!

Isn't it a hybrid system with phase detect AF points on the sensor and contrast detect too? I don't see how that can compete with Dual Pixel AF. Even if it is faster for single shot AF in stills mode (with Sony's lenses only) - you have far less information from that kind of autofocus system. It won't be as good at object tracking in video mode. The sensor has to run at 24fps which means the read out is too slow to get the AF information off the chip for fast and reliable results. With DPAF every pixel gives AF information to the lens and processor... Millions of them. Sony should move to DPAF.

I will archive your face if you don't shut up

13 = unlucky 4 = death (5D Mark IV)

Do you want to be banned? Going the right way about it.

No picture profiles is a bit of a disaster and shows that they are not aiming at video shooters with this. Seems Sony would much rather we buy a 10bit 4:2:2 A7S 3... With picture profiles. Looks like we will have to hold off on the purchase and wait to see what NAB brings!

Should be better now. My host did a great job. Interest in this camera is huge it seems. 65,000 requests on the server in last hour!

This announcement crashed the website. Sorry about that, looking into it with the host. Anyone else had slow page load times from EOSHD during the last 30 minutes?

Magic Lantern are in the process of porting their 3K/4K modification to the 700D / T5i. Read the full article

I'll be the same as cropping out a 4K box from a Canon RAW still in Photoshop. So the max the sensor can give... around 12 stop and all of it rather nice thanks to 14bit RAW.

Thanks to strong sales of the Sony A7R II and A7S II, Sony has announced a 23% year on year growth in sales to catapult the company into second place on the market. Source: Sony press release

You know which cameras I'm referring to. If you don't like it, use a different forum. In fact I positively encourage it in your case!

If you're wondering why the latest Casey Neistat video does't look like it was shot in Canon mush-o-vision, wonder no more! Read the full article

The DX lens range is very weak. The price of the D7500 is too close to the full frame D750. The D750 is a much better choice for most photographers. The APS-C market is shrinking. It doesn't do video right. There's a huge crop in 4K. The 1080p is 'meh' I just don't see the appeal in the D7500 when you can get a D750 for a bit more money.

Panasonic should think about a merger with Olympus if either of their camera divisions hit severe trouble. Focus on the high end models from now on only. Nikon I fear for more because they are not innovating and seem completely clueless about how to turn things around. They are also the most dependant just on cameras, whereas Panasonic and Olympus have other big presences in medical and consumer goods beyond cameras. Sony's stuff is selling well, no need to fear for them. They will soon over take Nikon and go into second place behind Canon. Fuji I am not sure about... on one hand they have a strong enthusiast following, on the other hand their sales aren't exactly Canon-like and they are quite dependant to the consumer photographic market. I think medium format isn't enough to save them if things keep on deteriorating. Out of everyone, Canon and Leica have the biggest share of the pro market and big big margins. They'll be around for a long time. Even if their products are obsolete in some ways... Canon don't understand apps and services, and Leica don't understand very much outside of their professional photography niche. Rioch seem to be mismanaging Pentax and I can see the Pentax brand being sold. They are definitely the next one in the danger zone, and far more likely to do a 'Samsung' than Panasonic or Olympus.

Another non-starter for video, although as a stills camera I quite like it Nikon seem to have caught Canon-itis. A well known condition where you lose your memory and release the same camera every year with a different badge.

Slow-mo raw shooters can now make use of an improved 2K 60p mode on the 5D Mark III thanks to Magic Lantern. In addition, 1920 x 800 recordings at 60fps are continuous to the card without a frame limit, a feat made possible thanks to new lossless compression. Read the full article
