And Intel CPU acceleration?

Z-CAM with ProRes RAW is in many way more useful on that camera, because you need to add the screen anyway, and it doesn't have a standard or widely supported internal RAW codec, so you may as well use the Ninja with it if you want to shoot RAW. The 5.8K will be on the more expensive larger sensor models and I think 4K on the M43 Z-CAM E2. I'll do a blog post about it in due course. Would help if they could keep me informed so I can prepare one. I'm not a psychic

Is it true that 10bit 4:2:2 isn't hardware accelerated? Maybe this is why Fuji go for 4:2:0

Logged on and what do I see Yes another topic waylaid by Super8 causing arguments If you keep it up, I will have to do what's best for the forum as an informative tool for filmmakers. And you know what that means.

Yes OK.

I have been considering real names for this forum for a while but it doesn't seem to help the comment standard on the EOSHD Facebook group

Good post I think the leaf shutter compacts like X100 need a 2 or 3 stop ND for exposures in bright light at F2. The Sony RX1 had a maximum mechanical leaf shutter speed of 1/2000 but no ND in that and I found it tricky to avoid overexposure in sunlight. On some cameras e-shutter kicks in to give you 1/8000 but then you get rolling shutter. The FS5 variable eND I don't remember moving out of the way but I could be wrong on that. I think the sensor stack just goes clear. If you move glass out of the way it changes the focus and image quality, doesn't it? I could be wrong about that. The easiest "slide out the way" solution for me would be to have a slot-in ND filter over the sensor that inserts into the camera like a memory card behind a door. This way you can quickly take it out or put it in without messing with filter rings or adapters. The ideal solution would be an eND that goes clear. The other solution would be variable ND in the lens adapter but it wouldn't sell very many native mirrorless mount lenses. Canon's for example only works with EF lenses!

All those sharp lenses from 30 years ago must have fooled me. Lenses ARE an investment. Some of mine have increased in value by as much as $1000 to $2000 in just 5 years for rarities, some in 10 years. Especially anamorphic. I have well used lenses from the 1970s that are incredibly sharp nearly 50 years later. Nikon 105mm F2.5 Sure there will be duds But none of what I read in this topic matches my experience and I have a lot of experience due to being an addict

https://www.eoshd.com/news/fujifilm-hint-at-44x33-large-format-gfx-h100-filmmakers-camera-open-gate-4k3k/ What 100MP quad bayer capable sensor were Fuji referring to in this document (if not the GFX 100)? It doesn't look like the GFX 100 actually employs this readout method. So is this something they are saving for a future camera?

The big mystery of the day. Is @androidlad actually Graeme Nattress? 😃

Looks like the power issue is being worked on https://www.eoshd.com/news/sigma-addresses-leica-sl2-battery-power-error-with-mc-21-adapter-firmware-update/ I'll give it another test

Hello I reached into the darkest corner of the EOSHD server and fixed the links They are working on this page now: https://www.eoshd.com/gh2-patch-vault/ Enjoy!

Probably had to run everything by legal first.

Is that mountain bike an E-bike? If it's 10bit footage the luma range should not be 0-255. I would check to see if it is a problem with the actual recording & Ninja V, or if it is a problem with FCPX. Try downloading the free version of Resolve and see if that fixes the footage. If it's still bust, it means the issue is on the camera side not the NLE side.

Wonder if Long GOP codec is improved? Or is ALL-I still the way to go. I'll do some shooting tomorrow.

Makes me wonder if this is LOG without the branding

Good news. This is something I asked about in my upcoming Fuji interview. Looks like I can delete the question now

ProRes 422 LT is quite light in terms of file sizes. Not bad quality either.

Which implies BMD Film LUTs may work in post for the Flat profile? Interesting.

I can understand why RED does want to be a bit selective and doesn't want REDCODE on an ARRI or Sony F65 for example But the mirrorless cameras are no competition and actually compliment the larger A-cams on most shoots. So to be able to use one or two of them with the same codec as the Komodo or latest RED A-cam would be ideal. I have an interview coming with Jarred Land of RED but he is taking his sweet time to reply Very busy. I'll keep trying to encourage him that this is a good idea, whenever I get the chance. It really would be wonderful to shoot REDCODE on both a Komodo and something like an EOS R5.

Thank you for the suggestions so far. I have sent a link to Mr Kazuto Yamaki-san and the Sigma Fp / Cine product manager Mr Wakamatsu-san.

I am about to start a big comparison between the Blackmagic Pocket 4K ProRes and H.265 on the Fuji cameras. Let's see who comes out on top. If it is the Fuji then maybe we can stop caring so much about our 7 year wait for ProRes on Japanese cameras. I have wished for so long that they'd do some form of Apple ProRes internally... surely a nice company like Apple would license if asked. Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera (original) cost what, $1k? So it can't be that expensive to license ProRes! And RAW is great but not practical for most.

It seems a bit of a mystery as to why Atomos can't update their firmware at the same time as the camera manufacturer does There doesn't seem to be a firm date given for it yet. There is no 1080p RAW because the image in 1080p is so dodgy on the GFX 100 You have to go from 100MP to 2MP so the amount of binning is off the charts. I am also not sure who buys a $10k 4K medium format camera to shoot 1080p in 2020 so maybe that is another reason why they didn't bother with it. Personally I would sooner shoot with a more practical 2.8K internal RAW codec but there is no denying the appeal of the image out of the Ninja V. More thoughts on the blog: https://www.eoshd.com/raw-video/fuji-gfx-100-is-first-medium-format-camera-to-shoot-12bit-prores-raw-with-atomos-ninja-v/ @BTM_Pix Downloading the firmware now. I have a feeling the grain simulation is JPEG only but I'll give it a try!

Nice shots, especially in terms of the tonality and colour. Would love to see more. It's true there is hardly anything to worry about in those frames - no aliasing, they look close to 6K RAW stills

Yeah. Not a bad idea actually!
