​I think Kessler had no choice, you can't simply stay silent as that would be seen to condone the alleged behaviour. Philip's name is all over the pocket dolly so obviously Kessler have chosen to do what they did with the press release.

This is going to turn into a nasty little online shaming match isn't it? Have some compassion for both sides as they both lose. And think about your own lives and if you lost your career, how you would want people to behave... respectfully or not?

I saw the allegations first from Sara on Facebook last week. Then (also allegedly) he "confessed" more to Eric Kessler. Then today the second ex, Sarah had her allegation out. For me at this point, I took a long walk actually. I was upset. As it's a personal tragedy and a shame for the whole DSLR community. So can we please at least try and refrain from disgraceful comments like Jimmy's above? The issue of domestic violence is very different. Clarkson is on BBC2 next week by the way if you want to throw rocks at the screen. And I doubt Philip will have same come back. He did a lot for me in the early days and had been supportive every time I met up. It'a a shame.

To be clear I didn't hide it. With good intentions one of my mods hid the thread. Albeit with a heavy heart, I then brought it back. Like you say it's not right to sweep this under the rug. It has to be condemned. I hope Philip seeks help. What is alleged is simply not right. I am really fucking pissed off at him for it.

Very sad for all concerned. Sara and Sarah deserve our support.

Either way you can't compare the look of a fixed zoom lens small chip camcorder to a DSLR or mirrorless camera.... you just can't. The 1" chip with a video zoom lens will always have a whiff of 'video' about it as I find even with my FZ1000 and LX100. It's not going to look like a GH4 or NX1 so for $2500 why spend that much?

I think that's greatly oversimplifying things. The sensor in the GH4 is larger and the stills are better. The codec records to cheaper media with 3x smaller file sizes. The XC10 is 4:2:2 internal I believe? Canon LOG is welcome. I expect the Panasonic FZ1000 will give very close results for $799 with a better lens so the XC10 is a no-buy for me.

Canon's "new" codec is just H.264. I am sure they are working on H.265 support but since the hardware to support it isn't really common yet, I can see why they're taking their time over it. In the meantime, EditReady is your friend.

So what if it edges out the RX10? That concept is 2 years old and sells for less than $1000. This is supposed to be a cutting edge 2015 Cinema EOS camera for $2500!

4K at 60fps would be tricky to edit I think. Needs a LOT more horsepower.

Wow that promo video is going to take some beating for wooden model movements. She behaves like a cyborg. The dirt under my fingernails contains more life than is present in that video. The yellow-tinted clipped highlights are similar to what I get on the FZ1000 for $700. You'd think for $2500 they would have sorted that out. This camera tarnishes the Cinema EOS brand.

It is likely whatever low light advantage the sensor has, that is cancelled out by the F2.8-F5.6 zoom. Just get an LX100 or stick a zoom on a GH4.

May as well stick the 14-140mm on the GH4. But nobody does that because it looks video-ish. GH4 will get LOG soon I expect so that makes the XC10 even less desirable vs the Panasonic.

Nice but shame about the tiny sensor and boring lens. A Super 35mm interchangeable lens version of this would kill the GH4.

Price $15,999 and available to pre-order at B&H The Canon C300 Mark II specs are now out and you can see my opinion of the new camera below. Read the full article

Double the price of the FS7 for the same specs but no 4K 60fps, no 180fps. It does however have a lot of positives. No need for lens adapters, just use your EF stuff. Dual pixel AF can be handy for run & gun. Much stronger ND filter than FS7.

GH4 was in UHD at 25p.

It's NOT REAL guys!! Do you really think Canon would put out such low-grade looking crap? And the camera body is obviously Photoshopped. Look at how the body around the X at the front has been stretched downwards to make it larger. Look how the perspective is warped on the antenna connector at the back and the C700 logo looks like it was done in Photoshop... by a child... off his head on vodka!!

Yeah it's been a long wait. Funnily enough the main feature I am looking forward to is VLOG. With A7S having SLOG and so many lovely LUTs out there I want to apply them to the GH4 footage so need LOG. Maintains small file sizes compared to raw which is very nice.

I think they are just timing it for NAB Simon. Not long to wait now, let's see in 7 days...

So basically what you are saying is A7S = perfect camera to shoot The Simpsons with?

​Well, um, use it on a camera it's designed for then!! You wouldn't use a c-mount lens on a 5D Mark III!

The Canon sensors are so noisy. Can't be pushed as far. How much of a practical difference it makes to real photography though.... I'm not sure. Who under exposes by 6ev by mistake on every shot!?

Yeah good straight out of the camera that's for sure. But Fuji X-T1 film modes are even better so Canon still can learn something about character!

Yes they can.... expert colourist with raw! BMCC raw in good light! Digital Bolex CCD colour!
