The point is that when you crop into a medium format image you get the compression of the 80mm, whereas when you crop into a 2x crop sensor from a 25mm lens, you never get the depth compression of an 80mm or telephoto... it's 25mm. A 25mm is a 25mm. An 80 is an 80! Cropping a full frame image out of medium format = 80mm on full frame Cropping a 2x crop image out of medium format = 80mm on micro four thirds Now, you can't say an 80mm portrait lens on micro four thirds looks like a 25mm portrait on micro four thirds.

I don't have much of a counter argument to compete against it seems Nikkor.

Look at all those heavy lenses, poor ladies. Someone get them a Nikon J1 All these men buying D850s with 42MPs better watch out they don't grow bigger breasts On a related topic... Isn't it time Canon and Nikon put their 80 year old male management in a retirement home? Or would that be agist?

Looking forward to seeing the footage. If anyone else would like to post theirs as well, would be great. I'll select the best, and put it on the blog. Comparisons / tests always useful as well.

I use Polarr and it opens raw stills, has 12 crops, none of them 2:35:1 The closest it gets is 16:10! Great app though. If anyone finds something to do the anamorphic crop style I'll give it a go.

No harm done, the thread was quite an interesting one in the end, enjoyed the footage!

The studios, filmmakers, Netflix, etc. need to work with Samsung and LG to get their defaults right. Same way Sony might use a filmmaker to fine tune their camera profiles! None of these scientists have a clue about art.

Say you frame the shot for the armchair below, and you want to get the background to fall away and not be in the frame (white door to the right). A 35mm is a 35mm. And it isn't going to give you the right result for this job... When you need to get close it has the perspective distortion of a wide angle lens. A 90mm is a 90mm. No matter how close you get it won't give the same look as a 35mm. The perspective is different. 35mm: That's why portraiture is done on medium format, for a more natural rendering of the face. As for cropping the sensor into either of these lenses... Crop the two frames above in Photoshop and tell me if her nose looks any different

It's not about being politically correct or about gender politics. There was just absolutely no reason for Nikon to end up with this shitstorm in the media, from being stupid at marketing. Anybody can find female photographers. They're everywhere. Nikon should get to know some!

Just a Nikon NPS rep advertising the brand... (Censored the account name as he would lose his job... hope he deletes it) More stupidity... http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-41266234 Yes it made the BBC! The sexism row also made the blog and RSS feed of one of the most influential tech & Apple bloggers in the world https://daringfireball.net/linked/2017/09/15/nikon-women Well done Nikon! Translation of the Instagram death plunge post: Nikon rep says: Friends, The Falling Man is the title of a photograph (Chosen by TIME magazine as one of the 100 most influential photographs in history) taken by Richard Drew, Nikon photographer for the AP, during the attacks of September 11, 2001 against the twin towers of the World Trade Center, at 9:41:15 in the morning. In the image you can see a man fall from the North Tower of the World Trade Center, who surely chose to jump into the void to avoid dying scorched by the flames. Richard Drew says: "When I went up the steps of the subway station, I looked up and saw that the two towers were on fire, I immediately started photographing people, I had a perfect view of both buildings and I thought it was where I could cover my task.I had a Nikon DCS-620 (Nikon F5 body) and was using a zoom of 70-200mm. And I fulfilled my mission.I was like, 'Whoa' It's my moment! "The policeman pointed up and said: Oh my God, look! "And that's when we realized that people were jumping out of the building.We do not know if they were triggered by flames or smoke.I was photographing several people falling from the building and I have a sequence of The camera captured the picture in a sequence, as it had a motor in it. Can you imagine how fast people are falling? They are falling very fast, and while you are photographing this you have to go with them as well I chose this guy in my visor, put his finger on the button and kept taking pictures while he fell..."

Great! I'll put the footage on the front page of the blog if it looks nice

That's a good suggestion sir! XR is generally more punchy, more contrast, whereas the original tended towards 'safer'. Oops balls'd that up didn't I?! Yes it IS compatible with the old a7s. The cameras that don't work are the basic or old ones, that lack the advanced picture profiles. I'll let an FS5 user take up the baton on that one... Would love to see your footage!

I'm not too impressed with this reply either Jon! Will send you a DM to talk some stuff over!

I am pleased to announce that a year after the original, there is a major update to EOSHD Pro Color for Sony cameras. In addition to the new Pro Color, I am launching EOSHD Pro LOG as well. This takes all the advantages of Pro Color into an easy to grade C-LOG-like profile for your Sony camera. Pro LOG also comes with 25 EOSHD Film LUTs for an instant cinematic grade in post.

Even more insane is the common crook who gave it to the store for £1700!!

Hasselblad X1D for £3500 anyone!? https://uk.webuy.com/product.php?sku=SDIGHASX1D50CBODA#.WbsaJ63My7Y

HDR codec and HDR10 display will make a difference. Is the H.265 10bit? 4K 60fps on a phone proves heat can be managed in such a thin device, and that Canon with their shitty DSLRs have no excuses remaining.

Looks clean as a whistle to me for ISO 1250. On many other cameras that shot would be fizzing like hell!

Did you hear of the man who tried to clean every last spec of dust from his Hasselblad? He’s dead now. But he has a cautionary tale from beyond the grave… Read the full article

Does it have a bigger buffer than the RX100 V? Seems unlikely to me as the buffer memory is part of the sensor, and they have the exact same sensor. I am actually surprised Sony bothered with this model... They should put it on a 2 year cycle with bigger differences between models. If the RX100 V style AF dramatically speeds up the telephoto end of that lens it will be a miracle as well

That's right you'd get higher resolution and a wider FOV by using 5K 4:3 mode with a 1.33x lens. There aren't many truly sharp 1.33x lenses around though, especially not at fast apertures. So that might limit your res.

Just on-topic according to thread.

Of course it's a detail improvement. Why wouldn't it be?! 3.5K is 3584 x 1320 with no binning or line,skipping. 1080p is 1920 x 1080

Interesting idea Snowfun, but a bit of a dead-end plot wise? I'd like to build the story out from her inner conscious, where some mysteries are buried, and create the two characters - Jewel and the Replicant, who carry forward the plot till the end of the feature... Keep the suggests coming! I have no idea what happens next yet

The dot projector that maps your face could be used for some interesting games and tech demos. The camera has a nice bump on the X The digital portrait lighting is very cool and something I wish all cameras would implement, especially for video! The new processor and GPU I am sure is very good I like it and good to finally catch up with Samsung, on the OLED front Apple however are generally more boring than they used to be and lack charisma under Tim Cook. The products are still solid, but there's something missing. Personality?
