  1. Camera 1 Camera 2 Camera 3 The results of this one might surprise To judge resolution don't forget to pixel peep the full 1080p frames.
  2. If those are indeed direct from the card then S-LOG 3 looks unworkable on the A6300 and the codec is looking like it has the same problems the FS5 had, but worse. Not good.
  3. Geez. It's so badly shot. If you're going to judge the camera, judge it from something decent for heaven's sake. I hardly think the rolling shutter will be any worse than the 1D C, A7S II, NX1, GH4 or many other 4K cameras, many of them much more expensive than $999
  4. When Sony do a subsequent version of the Pentax 645Z sensor with proper 8K RAW video, the dynamic range on that will be astounding A lot of people still think of larger sensor = shallower DOF and with most medium format lenses being F2.8 this might not be the case vs F1.4 on full frame but once we overcome that kind of binary thinking, we see the image of medium format is unique and I definitely want to shoot a film on the format. FORBES70 is a thing of beauty. PS I missed the NAB 2009 announcement of that RED solution... quite amazing really, I'm surprised they haven't made good on it 7 years later seen as though they are chasing some of the high end stills market and not just cinema.
  5. At the least rolling shutter won't be a problem for this kind of camera. Sony is making some big moves into the network / CCTV market. To be honest it is about time these cameras got a better image, plenty of unsolved crimes due to dark, pixilated faces. ME20F-SH is more for broadcast / TV market but yeah, the concept is similar to Canon's and price is cheaper, plus it is 4K.
  6. Shame then that 90% of Canon's DSLRs can't shoot high resolution enough stills to make use of it... Only the 5DS. Haha.
  7. Shame it would be completely wasted in 1080p on Canon DSLRs.
  8. Ad payouts are pretty much all these early rushed out shitty reviews are done for.
  9. The motion issues you guys are talking about seem to have more to do with the shutter speed than the camera. The Mongolia video is lovely but a lot of it looks to be shot at a high shutter speed without NDs Try 1/50 and see if things improve. If not then we should investigate more what is going on. MJPEG and RAW on Canon DSLRs are ALL-I codecs, but it's unlikely to be a LONG GOP issue because the D750 is that and apparently looks fine.
  10. The channel is confirmed fake actually.
  11. DJI have updated their consumer Phantom drone today, which will be priced at $1400. It contains some serious AI. Read the full article
  12. I think Samsung will reassess too. Sony has shown the way with their sales figures for the full frame mirrorless cameras. APS-C is not where it's at. Samsung should return with a full frame mirrorless camera and that requires a completely different set of lenses.
  13. X-Pro 2 4K - 80% said they don't need it, so Fuji didn't flick the switch in firmware. They ask a bunch of hardcore stills people if they want video and surprise surprise most of them don't. How are Fujifilm supposed to expand their customer base with new people if the keep asking their existing ones what they want? This is why camera companies keep serving up the same-old same-old every year... they never reach out new markets, because they only listen to the needs of their existing one.
  14. According to an interview at CP+ conducted with Focus Numerique (in French), Fujifilm are waiting until the release of the X-T2 to add 4K video - but it IS coming. Read the full article
  15. Are you using the colour temperature matched S-Gamut colour modes on the FS5? That's probably the solution. The A7S II doesn't have these.
  16. Friday 7am London time sees the release of a firmware update for the Sony FS5 which optimises the performance of internal recording, fixing the issues spotted by early adopters of the camera including myself (Andrew Reid) and Paul Antico. Read the full article

    Well not the sensor, it's a Sony. The OLED will be either LG or Samsung I think. And it isn't a mirrorless camera, it is fixed lens. Nice try

    Wonder if this will finally force Canon to get their act together?

    Nikon state 45 min battery life when recording video on the smaller DLs. Better carry some spares They shoot 30p and 25p. http://www.eoshd.com/2016/02/nikon-launch-affordable-super-16mm-4k-cameras-with-fast-lenses-starting-at-649/ No mention of 24p, which is odd. DL24-85 has built in ND filter. Not sure about the ultra wide 18-50?
  20. According to Japanese news outlet Nikkan the Panasonic GH5 will get a resolution bump to approximately 20MP, with 18MP stills pulled from the 6K video mode in 16:9 aspect ratio. 4K at higher frame rates such as 60p, likely with a crop of the sensor is rumoured to be possible.

  21. Early adopters have put the Sony A6300 image quality and autofocus to the test - the results are incredible (see below). Could Sony have achieved something very special with their combination of 6K sensor readout and 425 phase detect points? Read the main post
  22. Some good tests there. Have to say both the image and AF look stunning... And very little hint of rolling shutter on the street pans.
  23. Hardly think Blackmagic Pocket Camera price or release date was too much affected by the screen they put in it. Stripping down the Micro, based around same sensor, probably pays for the redesign and faster processor for 60fps.
