Thanks JG. Yeah really happy with colour from the Samsung sensor. The 120fps samples are coming soon, just need to finish the edit. They are shot from the number 28 tram in Lisbon, a vintage 1930's tram, which didn't quite go fast enough for 120fps so we're talking VERY slow here

It downscales 4K realtime in your edit and takes no longer on the export, I don't see how you save time crippling the image at acquisition

Sorry meant 7Q. That was limited to 8bit HDMI. The new model, I will have to double check.

As far as I know the Odyssey 7Q+ is not true 10bit via HDMI though. And ProRes LT 4K downscales easily to 1080p in Premiere with similar file sizes to HD ProRes HQ on the Odyssey.

​Very interesting, thanks. Will try this and see what the quality improvement brings.

The Odyssey is pretty good if you have a FS700, FS7 or C500. The Shogun is definitely better bang for buck for the rest of us with the A7S, GH4, NX1, etc.

EOSHD thread for all things Atomos Shogun related. My hands-on part 1 is available here - http://www.eoshd.com/2014/12/atomos-shogun-review-part-1/

Some like the Olympus 12mm F2.0 have a mechanical mode, you pull back the focus ring to engage the gears. A linear focus travel is something mirrorless manufacturers really need to start giving us, as a menu option. And on future high end lenses they should also consider a switch which engages hard stops when in linear focus travel mode. The current non-linear fly by wire system that's become so common is total nonsense really. Should never have been designed that way.

Well hell has officially frozen over and Fuji have full manual control in video mode along with 24p. You can download the V3.0 firmware for the X-T1 and X-T1 Chrome edition here. It adds a lot of improvements. Read the original article - http://www.eoshd.com/2014/12/fuji-x-t1-version-3-0-firmware-now-available-24p-video-mode-full-frame-speed-booster-ultra/

This is the place to gather ideas for shooting. Gain inspiration here to go out and use all this great gear we have, and don't forget to post your results. General discussion of the filmmaking world is also allowed here - favourite directors, writers, etc.

I'm moving the screening room to a pinned thread. Let's see what you've got! To show your work and footage, you can embed clips directly into posts, simply by copy-pasting the Vimeo or YouTube URL into you text.

The gallery has now been scrapped and you can simply insert your images onto a normal post or topic. To upload just drag the image file onto the editor bar where the paperclip icon is, or click 'choose files...'

I am going to do a full comparison of it vs the Heliopan, which is the current best performing one. So far I am very impressed. Love the hard stops, it is sharp and doesn't seem to have any colour shift. But as I've only shot with it once (in Lisbon) will need to do a more scientific test before I can bring you any further opinions. Anyone else got one? Feel free to chime in!

  Exactly! Real world shooting experience tells us a lot more!

I compared the 5D's colour in H.264 out of the box to what it does in raw with Magic Lantern and there's a huge difference. Nice sensor, rubbish codec and image processor. It's a myth you can get such nice colour from the 5D Mark III, without resorting to the large file sizes of raw, often impractical. The Cinema EOS cameras do have decent colour out of the box.   The NX1 has decent colour out of the box AND small file sizes.   The GH4 and A7S sacrifice colour a little bit on the altar of dynamic range but they can still look lovely in the right hands.

  Download the 4K original here NX1 is in stock at B&H ($1499) The light in Berlin is dreary during winter, so I took the NX1 off for a break in the Portuguese city of Lisbon last week. This place has the best weather in Europe and the best light. A magical place. It gave me a perfect chance to get under the skin of the NX1 - and see just what it can do in the real world. Read the full article here

Will fix this. Cheers.

  You don't get it. It's a second option, creatively. You can use it in really creative ways. Even if you're doing basic stuff like an interview, to break up a long boring clip of someone talking with a punched-in close up and a wide shot in post is super helpful, it means you can just let them talk and talk when you're shooting, no break in coverage whilst you reframe for the close-up. The timing of the reframing is in post as well, so makes planning the shoot a lot more straight forward. Don't knock it until you've tried it.   Also what I am about to post from the NX1 will blow the C100 Mark II away for image quality. You will see :)

Digital Bolex if you need a wide colour gamut. It is unmatched. CCD sensor so analogue feel to colour, very much like film.   However if raw isn't your thing then the A7S in SLOG 2 comes a lot closer than the C100, especially to the Atomos Shogun in 4K. It's just a much larger pathway between sensor and card. More colour data in there. And if you scale to 1080p in your edit (which is trivial to do by the way) you have 4:4:4 luma. GH4 is also an option... will give you 10bit to the Atomos Ninja Star. It's the cheaper option compared to A7S + Shogun for sure.

Just emailed out some missing guides where people didn't receive the email from the EOSHD cranky server.   Anyone I've missed? Let me know...

Will look into it guys. Just me here, so bear with me!

  OK own up! What department of marketing do you work for at Canon USA? Best in the industry? Try telling that to Alexa, F65, Dragon users delivering high def 1080p for broadcast. Exactly what the C100 II is designed to do, but not as well.
