Andrew - EOSHD

It still doesn't make sense for Canon to give away their IP to a smartphone camera manufacturer who is killing their business. Sony makes the sensors for a large proportion of the S7 and S8 handsets that are out there... more likely they licensed it from Sony. Sony have been doing phase detect CMOS for a while but not yet Dual Pixel AF outside of smartphone chips. I am sure they will scale the technology up sooner or later.

Twitter is only good for arguments. A total piece of crap. Instagram is nice... but until now the one I used least. It has a lifestyle / showing off culture that I don't go for. But I'm going to start posting more on it. It's useful when linked to Facebook so you can post a photo on both with just one app. You can link it to Twitter too so you never need to go on Twitter! Even better! Snapchat has a younger audience. It may not be the right target for filmmakers. It's a more personal friend-to-friend thing. Linkedin - it took me 5 years to get them to stop sending me spam and the email notifications recently started up again out of nowhere - I wish they'd BURN! GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE - now this is where the real action is at. This is how people will notice your content. But only if it's relevant.

This is all true and there's an organic way to grow your following so you end up with a truer bunch of people, or you can play the numbers game. Anybody can pay to bump up their numbers on social media, I don't believe these accounts showing 150k followers and 200 likes per post genuinely engage 150,000 people otherwise they would have more than 200 likes and comments. The content should speak to an audience, preferably a niche one at first. Presentation is important online by the way... and Liam you could start with putting some effort into your profile picture

Canon invented their own Dual Pixel AF way before Samsung closed the camera business though. Been around since the 70D.

An FS5 with Dual Pixel AF and Canon colour = C200 though Sort of (doubtful it will have 4K RAW output and high frame rates)

It's almost time for NAB's hotter sister CineGear Expo which starts on June 1st. Panasonic will take the tablecloth off their new AF100-style cinema camera and we will find out what the Canon C200 entails. Read the full article

If you recently downloaded Handbrake Video Encoder, you should check your Mac immediately for viruses and malware. Read the full article

And Blade Runner 2049 doesn't, with an Atari logo?

My thoughts are on the front page now. It's a mixed bag for me!

For me this is the most anticipated film of the year. I have mixed feelings about the trailer but beyond any doubt is that Roger Deakins has done an incredible job. Read the full article

Ah OK I am disabling the modifications until that can be fixed. Full width text for now guys! I have however made the typeface bigger and clearer to compensate.

As per JB's suggestion and others.... Text now appears in a column on the full width pages. Easier for your eyes to scan a less wide area.

A sensible suggestion, will look into it!

He's everyone's favourite son and 43rumours is marrying him.

Exactly.

They say you should use the Pro version for 4K editing. Unfortunately my dongle isn't on me at the moment so can't test where I am!

Are you using Resolve 14 Studio or the free version?

EOSHD is not an odd case, nearly all the major sites are named after cameras: DVXUser - Panasonic DVX100 Cinema5D - Canon 5D Mark II REDUser - RED This isn't really how it works with most people, as they come from a Google search and click the article because it's relevant to them - i.e. Sony or Panasonic posts. So it is immediately apparent both the blog and forum cover non-Canon gear. Times change and Canon might bounce back and start dominating. So changing to align with current Sony/Panasonic trends may be a waste of time as brands have to live forever. Reidvision wouldn't be so bad but it says nothing about 'cameras' I like short and snappy! Thanks for the feedback though I do see where you're coming from Most important thing for me is the site works well, looks clean, no shitty advertising, thriving community forum, great content, strong personal opinions, not in bed with PR industry.

In the industry, the definition is a lot lighter and more well defined than it is for enthusiasts. They think in terms of A and B cameras. Pros would consider Super 35mm as the norm and it'd support cinema lenses via PL mount - a stable, locking mount. XLR audio with phantom power and it would slot into an existing, well defined workflow from acquisition and monitoring right through to editing. MJPEG isn't very well suited to post because it isn't hardware accelerated like RED RAW or ProRes. Playback is choppy. Great image quality though. For enthusiasts and prosumers the definition of cinema camera would be more along the lines of a GH5 or Sony FS5. It gets looser the lower in price you go. At the higher-end: Full frame preferred over 2x crop. Super 35mm acceptable but not as 'cinematic' as full frame - the irony huh! Codec would be low compression for maximum image quality - H.264 at 100bit+ as the minimum standard Editing performance a big consideration for 4K, with ProRes LT being ideal for fluid playback and to save on card space RAW is a great feature and under exploited on the market (only Blackmagic and Magic Lantern for affordable cameras) Stabilisation is important In terms of 'cinema' of course 24p and manual controls are the bedrock of the rest. If it hasn't got those, it's a camcorder for home movies, nothing more.

You guys don't seem to understand branding. You can't just throw something away you've spent the last 6 years building and people trust the name. I happen to like "EOSHD" as being a camera and video associated acronym you immediately know what the website is about and everybody has heard of "EOS" in relation to cameras. If you want to read your own meaning into it you can, it can stand for Electro Optical Super High Definition. If I'd taken advice from a couple of people it would be LumixHD by now... Meh Cinema4K would be too generic and AndrewReid dot com is taken by someone else so I am sticking to my guns!!

Resolve has truly come of age. Read the full article

There's no point it would just destroy the recognition and search ranking. I am happy with good old EOSHD

Thanks Don! Will consider requests like this, it's possible with the widgets.

I have upgraded the EOSHD front-end with a new theme It should be much snappier than the old one in terms of load times It now has 2 columns and a wider responsive layout (check it out - http://www.eoshd.com) Blog posts will be full width with HUGE images and video content (example - http://www.eoshd.com/2016/11/now-available-eoshd-pro-color-for-sony-cameras-including-a7s-ii-a7r-ii-and-a6300/) Hope you like it and let me know your feedback / bug reports below...

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
