Andrew - EOSHD

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!!

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

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
