I have nothing against him as a person, in fact has done some very informative stuff, and I've praised him for it in the past... just think he is part of the same machine, and that in the case of the Fp series he hasn't given it a fair crack of the whip. It is a direction for the internet overall that I'm just not too glad about. It is becoming just all powerful brands paraded on TV, brands influencing the influencer, and the incredibly anodyne nature of the personalities bores me to death... to the point of provoking them even, just to see if there is a real person there. I also don't get the same filmmaking inspiration I do from tech guys as I do from an actual Dp. It's what makes Bloom so persuasive - the pretty pictures - makes people overlook the person he actually is in my opinion, but we won't get into that again.

I find it strange. Sigma created a new concept, first full frame mirrorless camera with internal 4K RAW recording. Gerald didn't even review it. And now this, with the follow-up model that is a sensor swap for landscape photographers. Bit odd I think.

Picking right tool for the job instead YES

Why not review the one that was for his audience instead then? Maybe next he will do a review of a Hasselblad film camera and complain it can't shoot video.

It depends what you plan to shoot with it. Far from ideal for certain situations. Brilliant for others... And silent too. Mechanical shutters will be obsolete within 5 years.

If we concern ourselves about most reviews, most sales, most people, we may as well give up filmmaking.

Who cares!! The more unique and customised my camera is, the better. Who wants to use whatever everyone else does?

In the YouTube comments “this was the smoothest bloodbath in a while”. On social media slick ninja-like assassins strike again in the middle of the night, and the unfortunate victim always seems to be the Sigma Fp series. In what’s a common theme the original Fp and now the Fp-L, I don’t think many of the social media glitterati get this camera. In the case of Gerald, I don’t think he gave Sigma a fair crack of the whip in at all. New blog post: https://www.eoshd.com/news/why-gerald-undone-is-wrong-about-the-sigma-fp-l/

You'd be better off shooting a crop sensor format with that too. I've tried anamorphic on medium format and it's tricky. You need a very long focal length and the corners are a bit mushy. Check the Mamiya stuff.

The pixel-binned image from the GFX 100 is very good. Not soft, and aliasing not too bad either. One of the best pixel binned images.

Now your username is relevant again 😉

1V was quite a looker...

The EOS 3 film camera was basically cheaper version of the 1v wasn't it? So that should give us a clue.

Canon are expected to announce the mysteriously numbered EOS R3. https://www.eoshd.com/news/development-announcement-of-canon-eos-r3/

You have an anamorphic that covers open gate medium format?!

The Fuji GFX 100S is like a medium format X-H1, with very capable filmmaking abilities. I had a hands-on at FotoMax in Berlin, to find out whether Sony should be worried. https://www.eoshd.com/news/hands-on-with-the-fuji-gfx-100s/

It looks like a firmware bug. Nikon need to fix it and stop passing the buck. I take it the flickering shows up in playback mode in-camera too?

I have not yet found anything as good as the Huawei P40 Pro's RYYB sensor (1/1.28") in RAW mode 8K / 50MP resolution: Click for full res 22MB ACR 80% JPEG: https://www.eoshd.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/P40Pro8k_IMG_20200731_191137.jpg The Oneplus 8 Pro is good too in RAW. Shooting RAW is the only way to overcome the excessive processing, and usually the RAW files are only saved in the "Pro" mode of an Android phone's camera app. So you need to choose a phone where the Pro mode can launch as the default mode each time and is easy to access. RAW files can be saved with the 5x optics of the P40 Pro as well. The CPU of phones is so good now, you have no trouble editing the 50MP RAW DNG file "in-camera". I use Polarr. Dynamic range is really good in the RAW file but not quite as good as the phone HDR processing is. However, considering that is up there with medium format for dynamic range, the RAW is still on the RX100 1" sensor level for DR.

I'd go for the same LUT on each, then minor adjustments to adjust by eye for each scene.

Yes. Had me fooled for a moment too 🙂

I remember when the first 1" sensor smartphone came out (Panasonic CM1) was around the same time the Samsung NX1 arrived. It's still worth keeping an eye out for on eBay if you want a smart compact camera... https://www.eoshd.com/review/panasonic-cm1-review-part-1-smartphone-first-impressions/ Takes some great shots in RAW mode. In many ways it's still the best sensor in any smartphone for RAW at least. I recently re-bought one for 100 euros.

One way around the NR and sharpening is simply to shoot RAW DNG on an Android phone. OnePlus 8 Pro has the best RAW output I've tried. Sometimes the dynamic range is much more limited vs the processed JPEG though.

Can you guys also try another Nikon picture profile file on the camera and see if it has the same result? And report it to Nikon so they can update the firmware.

Depends on which mode, not so simple on a phone. The ToF depth map can give you the look of F0.95 on full frame at the touch of a button.
