I see it as a wider social phenomenon And 30 year olds into Star Wars... grow up! I think it's a case of arrested development... When the masses just want to watch comic book movies... instead of more adult stuff... it is truly a sign of the times isn't it? Overprotective parenting and a lack of challenges in the modern world = onesie wearing pansies incapable of depth "Trump for president!"

It depends on the resolution of the entire sensor. If you have a Super 35mm sensor of 8MP then you don't need to crop for 4K. If you have a 30MP full frame sensor you need a massive crop to get that down to 4K!

I believe 1.64 is overly generous. Relative to the full frame sensor is is 1.74 My pre-release calculations based on 30MP were right... around 1.7x crop. It certainly looks like it based on the 8MP hole in the 30MP frame. A severe crop make no mistake Don't let the 'explorers of light' sugar coat it by making comparisons to Super 35mm! Nah Canon are like Sony Enormous corporate giant plodding along with giant marketing and hype Sony are like Nikon... A more hardcore focus on non-casual 'gamers' Nikon are like...... Sega. Obsolete Panasonic are like Nintendo. Innovative, smaller specs, lower budget but famous nevertheless

It's really misleading... They use a still life scene consisting of about 6 stops of dynamic range at best, shot at close focus. The differences in resolution are minimised and it doesn't really tell us very much. The 80D for example looks like abject shit when you shoot landscapes in video mode with it Something that a stamp pinned to the side of a light box doesn't quite convey as well... Wow you have low standards. RED... What is the point!??! Fastest contradictory statement ever on the forums? The 5DS actually does quite good 1080p so if you have a lot of money to flush down the toilet on mediocrity it is your next camera....

No.

Rogue's gallery is a good way to put it. Christ Johnny Depp now looks like a scene from Oldboy What a fuck up. That's what happens when you fall into a rut and role out the same thing year after year Johnny Canon!

4K uncompressed RAW to plain old CF card? Doubt it... and it would still be a horrific crop. Magic Lantern peaked with the 5D Mark III and they have moved on now... I don't expect them to take much interest in future Canon cameras now they involved in making their OWN camera hardware.

Such an underrated camera... Ergonomics of a Canon or Nikon without the 1970's mirror SHIT Smallest 4K file sizes on the planet but the highest quality compression..... THANK YOU H.265 YOU ARE THE FUTURE IT IS JUST NOBODY ELSE KNOWS IT!!!! Ultra clean and noiseless ISO 800, acceptable 1600, falls off a cliff after that but who cares? So does a RED Epic! Great battery life, great EVF... heck it has an EVF... Unlike my 1D C!! Guess which was cheapest! Articulated screen but still feels like it is built like a tank and I had mine out in the pouring rain.... didn't pose an issue. Weather sealed yet articulated screen.... Canon take note. Just look at the images... lovely! Great colour and detail The S lenses... some of the best Super 35mm this side of PL cinema $30k stuff. It is a goth of a camera It is discontinued Nobody cares about it but the ones in the know... The GX85 has fantastic colour... Just the right balance between natural 'scientifically correct colour' and memory colour.

Oh god... not another $12,000 DSLR!

And if you don't desire: Stills DSLR size of form factor Decent codec 10bit Slow-motion Full frame Quite a lot to write off isn't it?!

That's correct about Google.

If true then the timing is weird. It's already quite overdue compared to previous release cycles for the GH1,GH2,GH3,GH4. I wonder if they have had a late major change - such as new sensor - to incorporate? All speculation at this point....

Yeah it is over. What a shame the 5D Mark II never got a proper sequel to excite video users. It was such a remarkable moment in filmmaking tools. A democracy in the making. Unfortunately Canon's marketing and margins killed the dream almost as soon as it started. Cinema EOS is all about extracting massive margins. The photography stuff has peaked, it is all down hill in terms of sales from now on in the age of the smartphone. I am happy in the hybrid video/stills niche as we have plenty to look forward to from the other manufacturers...... So maybe it is time to get over the hurt of the past 5 years and move on.

Aside from the 1D C their C-line can't do decent stills. I want both in one camera. GH5 it is then! It's not the crop by itself which is the issue, it is the mismatch between the lens mount and the sensor crop size. On a Micro Four Thirds camera the lenses are designed to fit the 2x crop sensor. And the lack of mirror means special optical designs like the Metabones Speed Booster XL are possible, effectively giving you a 1.3x crop of your full frame Canon lenses instead of 2x. So I don't even consider the GH4 as a 2x crop camera. The 5D Mark IV is a 1.74x crop camera and stuck with it. You pay that much money for a full frame camera, you expect it to shoot full frame.... no? You expect it to have LOG as well!!

Plenty of ways. Thousands of dollars spent on heavily search engine optimised clickbate material which pushes other more relevant and better written pieces off the front page of search results. SEO experts are expensive. A ton of cash on a team of writers and people to cover trade shows and criss cross the planet in business class interviewing reps. Flights to Japan to cozy up to the industry. Slowly but surely money drowns out the others who aren't in bed with the industry, their backers and sponsors. The editorial is changed. The internet is changed. I am not The Verge. I don't have unlimited staff and resources to keep EOSHD alive in the face of such hostile big-spending competition.

Who is more stupid?

Here's a list of great things about the 5D Mark IV... Read the full article to see the list

I am just a guy with an independent voice in the world of camera reviews without hundreds of cozy ties to people from the manufacturers, without ads splattered all over the screen, without sponsors on my every video, yet still I find EOSHD mired in a world of cut throat rivalry. Only very occasionally like in the beginning with DPReview have I been given a leg up in this industry and even then it only takes one person like Barney to massacre that relationship too. The other blogs like NoFilmSchool, Cinema5D and NewsShooter spend 10's maybe even 100's of thousands of dollars trying to punt my homebrew EOSHD site into oblivion and I just find the whole thing utterly distasteful. Rather than offering a new talent an opportunity they instead I am treated like just another commercial rival to be beaten. In the end it is up to you guys to choose. The managed platform of platitudes and advertorial, or the honest opinions and educational books of an artist/filmmaker. May the best guy win.

Unfortunately I fell out with their 2 main guys, over disagreements with the direction their editorial was taking. I guess this is the result but it's still a nasty thing to do to their own forum users. I don't care so much about myself. But why punish their own readers and limit their knowledge of external resources? It is a shame as I have met some of the DPR team in person and count them as friends - Lars and Richard in particular. Lars used to live in Berlin! There's a bit more to the story as well... I began to be frustrated at every turn at how hard it was to get my articles past their main editor Barney and something else happened, something deeply disturbing, that I will not go into detail about.

Yeah but if you are pushing the shadows that much on any camera, you're going to end up with something that looks weird.

In all practical reality there's no difference in DR Have you tried getting max DR out of any camera - it makes stuff look like puke Within acceptable aesthetic parameters all the modern stills cameras are pretty much the same, there are very SMALL differences. Not an issue for stills only an issue for video and for a cinema camera it's tiny. Are you saying that all landscape photographers are using a Nikon or Sony? I doubt that....A lot of pro landscape shooters use a 1D X which is basically the same camera as the 1D C and they are perfectly happy with it.

It's a shame Canon haven't put the 1D C image & sensor in a more video optimised body ergonomically, like a mini-C100 and paired it with the XF codec 422 305Mbit They sit on this amazing tech and do fuck all with it.

Just because Sony and Nikon are also fucking up doesn't let Canon off the hook from criticism. The 3 of these together are largely responsible for the dire direction the industry is taking in terms of sales. A lack of truly innovative design and adaptation to modern requirements are to blame.

If that is correct then it will be 1.67x sensor area effective in 4K mode - not too different to Canon APS-C at 1.6x crop. Not ideal but not a deal breaker and it is oversampling from a nice 5K res.
